middle Of the main passenger deck.
The sides of the cage in which the
gold is kept are made OF heavy crimp
wire netting, such as is used in max
ing partitions in banks and other
places where money is handled.
1t is believed that by placing the
gold in plain view OF the passenger,
that no person would be bold enough
to ply his trade before admiring aud
fences and that he will leave the trea-
sure alone. The cage is fastened
firmly to the floor of the deck and

late today announced that the sub
scription to the three per cent certifi-
Gates of indebtedness OF the act Of
June 13, 1908, invited by the circular

subscriptions received after the close
OF business November q will be con-
sidered. The decided improvement In
business circles makes It possible that
the secretary will not make many more
allotments.
The sum of $40, 900, 900 for six
months would draw interest to the
amount of e375, 200, and an additional
amount of 5000, 900 for one year
would draw $3.50. 900, making a total
of 81, ,l25 200. This would be at the
rate of less than one cent and half
per capita for the people of the coun.
try, and it argued that this would be
