In any event the history of the whole trouble is faithfully chronicled in this week's OVERLAND CHINA MAIDI
Locally great interest has been manifested in the annual and extraordinary meetings of shareholders in the Hong Kong, Canton and Macao Steamboat Company, Limited, at which differences were aired regarding the farming out of the Company's business.
