the Reorganization

New York, July 29.-Wiliam Nelson

ton Committee Of the United States Ship
building Company, announced yesterday
that two-thirds Of the entire outstanding
issue of first mortgage bonds had been
deposited with the committee, and over
100000 additional bonds had also been
placed under his control. This, he said,
insured the success Of the committees
plans. Mr.. Cromwell also made the fol-
lowing statement:
AT the instance Of the committee, and
for The purpose of carrying out the plan,
foreclosure suits have heen instituted
in tho various districts, and viii be
pushed TO decree Of sale at the earliest
practicable date. The purpose and policy
Of the committee IS to maintain the unity

repeatedly extended under threats that nc
more bands would be taken; but some
how or other the committee always re.
lents at the last moment. I notice the

letter, that no further deposits will be
solicited 1 have no doubt the word
solicited has been advisedly used.
"Mr. Cromwell is too good a lawyer not
to know that his plan was long since
dead and buried and can only be revived
