The Japan Gazette translates the following from the Doyeki:--
Of the two shipping firms now being started, one, the Toyo Kisen Kaishs, proposes to under take the services from Yokohama to Batonm, via Chiun, India, London and Hamburg, and to New York, while the othor, the Daito Kison Kaisha, intouds to run stoomers also from Yokohama to Chidoso ports and Hongkong, and to Portland, Oregon. The main object of the former is to carry oil from Bateau to Rothschild's tanks in Japan, the line proposed, other than that to Batonin, boing, it is rumoured, bed in secondary Ina- portance. Its promoters had once proposed to take up the line to Portland also, but disagree mant having brisen among themselves the proposal was withdrawn, and in consequer.ce the other fem has been started to take up the line givan up While the contemplate establishment of the Toyo Kisen Kaisha wae being made pablo, the rumour was current to the effect that as the company'a promoter Mossra. Abs. Hikotaro aul Asano Bolchiro, were closely connected with Messrs. Samins! Bamuel & Co., Fothsabild's monny was eorp to form a large part, if not the whole, of the company's capital. Indeed, the amour. was se strong that Mr. Okará Kibachiro, who was consulted by the promoters, is said to bare refused to support the scheme if foroiga capital was really to be admitted. At any rate, itie certain that the rumour embarrassed the pro- jactors to no email extast. As their meeting huld, on 25th April at the Bankers' Haiff Sabaoto cha, Tokyo, Mr. Shibastwa Blicki made the following explanation: As the two projectors of the scheme, Mossrs. Agand and Abe, hare business counselions with Messrs. Secul Samuel & Co., it is naturally masnocted that forsiga capital is to be investeal in the enter priso. If the suspicion is wall founded, the sobems obviously infringes the Navigation Encouragement Law; and even if Mezera. Agano and Abs manage to ersila the restric- tions of the law by falsely representing them- selves s the projectors and capitaliste, I word never support such a schome. In supporting the schino a I now do I have of CONTRE ascertained the actual sirenin- stances and am sure there is no cause for sach Provided everything is legitimate, feary
