The Chamber nominated Total Shen to carry out the lavestigations called for, and since the arrival of the Teotai the managing director of the concem, Chang To-chai, has repeatedly tendered his resignan tion to Viceroy Chow-fu, who has declined [34 to accept it until a clean balance-sheet of the affairs of the syndicate is produced. In the abecoce of this document, it has fallen to the lot of Taotai Shen, assisted by other disinterested gentlemen, to investigate and audit the accounts of this big undertaking into which money from Cantonese all over the world flowed when requested. The paid up capital of the concern is said to be $8,000,000, and with the support of the last Viceroy the charitable institutions Canton were instrumental in exploiting the concern and disposed of the greater part of the shares, besides investing heavily thele own surplus funds in the railway, As regards the investment of the funds, and the condition of the shares it is said that notwithstanding the protests of Chang To chai, the head director, something like $3,000,000. were invested by the board in unprofitable undertaking in Cantona mat ter which, no doubt, if true, will be brought to light by Taotai Shen.
