Every case in which money was loaned was invest-

Greer started on a contribution Of $500 from his
congregations and this sum constituted the capital

per cent Mortgages regularly recorded. and

would allow evasion of the law for this season.
and probably hundreds of thousands of seals

Mr Morgan said the position OF the United
States Senate was that the award went INTO
full effect from the moment Of its delivery. He
suggested that the dispatch was based upon
proposed bill in Parliament. to which the State
Department at Washington had objected. and
which had been withdrawn. presumably in order
TO be remOdelled on the basis Of those objec-
tons and he declared that the United States
Government should be, by unequivocal legisa-
tion. authorized to carry into effect the award
in god faith. and to exact an equal compliance
from Great Britain.
Mr. Hoar thought there should be introduced in
the Senate within the next few days a bill
