WASHrSGTON, y c.. Dec. 31.-Sena-
tor Perkins said 10 LIE GALL. CORES
pondent, in explanation of his Nicaragua
ean&i bili, introduced Yesterday:
Ny bin is The same as Repr resentative
barham WITH the exception of one or
two featurs The capital stock is reduced
from 1,5O0,oo0 shares 70 100000, and the
stock price ls increase from 500 to $3.50 a
share. The mortgage provision of the
other measure has been eliminated, also
the provision guaranteeing the bonds of
the Maritime Company, providing instead
1or the issuance OF Government bonds sutfi-
cient in amount to construct he canal. This
action was taken IN Consequence of the de-
cision in the Stanford case. under which
tie part taken by the Government in 'buiId-
ing the canal would only be venture. SO
that if the enterprise is a failure the mort
gage would be Of no avail. If it is success.
tul, the Government, under the present
bill, will receive back its money and not be
left to the doubtful proceeding of fore
closure. which. under the concessions.
would be of no avail. The Maritime Canal
Company is retained simply as an instru-
ment through which the Government
acts.
Representative Barham concurs in the
amendment suggested by Perkins.
