RUSSIA AND CHINA,
"CODLIN'S THE FRIEND" The Moscow Correspondent of the Standard writes as follows
The Russian Government has for some time put been encouraging those of its subjects. wiin have sustained losses in consequence of the war to send in full returns of their claims. It is to be noted also that, as from time to time the date of signing the Peking Protocol was put off so was the final date for receiving these claims of Russian subjects postponed. Russia as been engaged in making up a bill, into which will enter as a principal ite the damage to the Manchurian Railway, and is not anxious. for this little chim to take definite shape until the rest of Europe is safely out of China. Throughout the whole period of the Chinese troubles, Russia has officially maintained the Action that she is a friendly Power, compelled unwillingly to appear among the members of the European Concert, and has really all the time remained China's best friend. If Russia fut 12,000 unarmed, Chinese-inte, the River Amur it was an "unfortunate accident that

NORTH BORNEO TRADING 00. (LTD.).
The fourth ordinary general meeting of the North Borned Trading Company (Limited) was held on 17th Julio, Mr. A. J. Scratton presiding
In moving the adoption of the report the Chairman congratulated the shareholders on a more favourable statements There was every reason to believe that the improvement would continue.
Mr. C. P. Bennett (managing director), in seconding the motion, and he was sure that the shareholders would participate in the Beard's regret at the retirement from the position of general manager in Borneo of Mr. Roberts, whose health had broken down. The new manager, Mr. Altman, had been with the company for nine years and had given Mr. Roberts and the directurs every satisfaction. He thought the shareholders would appreciate the fact that a good reserve for depreciation. was being built up, and with the £640 trans- ferred to that account on the present occasion the amount was increased to £1,950. A

4000 trees had been planted, and this work was being.continued. At the present moment they had at least 35,000 good trees. The

withdraw her troops from Chikli, and did she not all along protest against the butcheries of Commander-in-Chief Waldersee? Is not Russia the nearest neighbour of China, and have not the two Empires had commercial and Diplomatic relations of centuries? In short, is not Russia the natural friend of Chien, and has she not proved so, even of late?
The Russian Press is already beginning to fore
badow the views which must henceforth be held by loyal Russians. Russia has more than once saved China from dismemberment, and has spent millions of money and thousands of lives in doing it. She desires only to see China at peace and independendent, and she will use all her endeavours to prevent the Western Powers from interfering with this object. The
whole imbroglio, which has now ended with the Peking Protocol, is happily over; and China will enter into her old friendly relations with her natural friend, Russia, the tie being only the more closely drawn by recent events, which have proved to China how bitterly hostile to Chinese ways-beginning with religion and the missionaries, with whom Russia has never
5 troubled her neighbour-and at the same time, how compamtively impotent are all the Western barbarians taken together. Russia is the friend, and a speedy settlement of her own little private, account, for which the simplest and easiest terms will gladly be granted, will enable her to promise China that the Western barbarian shall never again repeat the abortive, but humiliat ng, expeditions of a Waldersee. And thus Russia will before long legalise her position in Man- churia beyond the possibility of dispute, and Join China to prevent anyone else attempting a sunilar course of action elsewhere in the Mid- dle Kingdom.
they hoped that it would be repeated in future. accounts. Two similar vessels were now being built for the company, and for one of them an offer had been received which would show a profit larger than that derived from the salt of the W. B. Fryer. The net profit for 1900, after making all deductions, was £2,198, which was equal to a dividend af 24 per cent. on the paid-up capital, and this was as compared with a loss in the preceding year of £1,799. The accounts up to date for the present year showed that the volume of business was about equal to that of last year, or perhaps rather more; and the profit had been quite as good. China in the past year had been a closed market to them, but to make up for this business had been done at Manila and Singapore. Replying to questions, Mr. Bennett said it was not the in- tention of the Board at present to call up the remaining ds. per share, nor was it their inten- tion to fill the vacancy caused by the resigna. tion of Mr. Bogaardt (director) through ill-health.
He agreed that there was depreciation on their principal asset; land, which they held for 999 years. Their Borneo manager's commission was larger this year owing to the profits being greater.
The motion was unanimously adopted, anda resolution was passed thanking Mr. Roberts for his services and regretting his retirement.
A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors terminated the proceedings.
