natural death, for the present. We do not think that Russia was prepared to come to blows and the explanation of this is notifar to seek; in fact it lies in Hongkong harbour in the shape of the Russian battleships Poltava and Sevastopol. Besides these two ships, Russia has three or four cruisers now on the way to join her Far Eastern squadron. None of these vessels are at the present time within reach of a Russian pou, except of course the two battleships which are now coaling here. Had Russia net consented to withdraw her troops at Tientsin, pending a settlement of the affair at home, but pre- ferred to come to blows, it would have meant

As you are aware we have contracted for two New Steamers of a more modern type, and with rather more cargo capacity, which we hope to have out here towards the beginning of next year. We are sure they will prove a very valuable addition to our Line, and enable us to meet the changed condition of the traffic with Manila with more up to date vessels. We have been asked by several Shareholders why we do not recom mand a large dividend, but the answer to that is "You can't eat your cake and still have it" until that done you must be satisfied We have to pay for the two new boats, and with moderate dividends, although I might add that 16% is by no means a poor retum.
