A-MEETING AT SHANGHAL

THE P. & O. COMPANY..

A meeting was convened last week at Chang Su-ho's Garden for the purpose of discussing the appointment of a Provisional Government. The proceedings lasted the best part of the day. It was expected that the name of the Chinese Republic would be an- nounced; but we understand that the different factions have not so far been able to arrive at any agreement on this important office. Meanwhile, says the N. C. Daily News, it would appear to have been agreed that

Mr. Potter in outlining his case stated that it would be proved that Mohideen and Marican had very infiniate business relations, so much so that one would almost be driven to the conclusion that they were business partners. He would endeavour to prove that Mohideen' had been in the habit of giving very large sums of money to Mari- can to be expended, in his business, and that he had borrowed money from other people in order to pay it over 10 Mr. Marican, If Mohideen was so intimately connetied with Marican as to borrow money for him, there would be nothing extraordinary in THE P. & Mohideen allowing Marican to pledge hist
