HOW THE VICEROY ORTAINS RAILWAY,NEWB,

[From Our Own Currespondent.]

Canion, and August. The Prefect of Kwangchow, prefecture, Chan $600,000 co Mong Chang, has on several occasions sent in his resignation to Viceroy Shum, but has been refused by the Viceroy. It is said that, the reason for refusal is that through this pre- fect's instrumentality, the Viceroy has been able to consult the directors of the Yueh Han Railway Company in all railway affairs. It seems that this company is to be managed by officials as well as merchants, so it may be termed an official company, instead of a private enterprisa.

THE REWARD OF VALOUR.

Magistrate Lam Ngau has been highly praised by the Viceroy for his bravery in cap. Lusing robbers and pirates. It is rumoured that he is to receive a better position than he holds at present, as a reward for his valour.

CONTRACTORS for school BUILDINGS.

As scho is and colleges are being establish. ed all over the country, many officials are sending in tenders for the contracts for build ing schools. Most of these officials are quite

A PROSPEROUS INDUSTRY.

COTION SPINNING IN JAPAN.

From a recent number of the Japan Chronicle we gather that the cotton spinning companies in Japan have done extremely well for the first hall of the current year. If the results of the Japanese mills are any indication of what may also, be expected of the mills oper- ating in China, it is to be hoped that sufficient profits will have been recouped to the share holders for the losses sustained by the cotta a companies in Shanghai and Hongkong during the calier period of their existence.

The next profit of the Kanegafuchi Spinning Company for the half-year just ended is Y1,797,580, including the surplus brought over Of this sum Y404,272 is from last account. allotted for dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per amium; Y1,000,000 placed to the special reserve; Y50,000 allotted as bonuses for officials; Y50,000 placed to the operatives' 'pension fund Y50,000 to the operatives fund for the provision of better homes, &c. and V30,000 for the operatives' relief fund. The balance of Y153,308 is carried forward.

The Godo Spinning Company of Osaka' has declared a dividend for the half-year at the rate of 20 percent. per annum, after placing Y80,coo to the reserves, and carrying forward a surplus of Y3:6,644. The company has mcreased

its capital from Y1,600,000 to Y2,400,000.

The Japan Spinning Company has decided to add over 19,000 ring spiedles far flac yarn, the factory thereof to be set up in the com- pound of the existing mill. This decision bas been approved at a recent géperal meeting. The net profit of this company for the half-year is Y360,034, of which Yyyooo has been placed to the reserve, Y163,000 allotted for dividend at the tale of 16 per cent, per annum, and the balance carried forward.

The Osaka Spinning Company's dividend is at the rule of zo per cent. per annum, after providing for the reserve, &c., which absorbed.

Y134,000.

The Mousseline Spioning Company of Osaka has decided to increase the weaving looms by 20, and has issued debentures to the amount of Y450,000. The net profit of the company for the half-year is estimated ni Y65,303, rud a dividend, at the rate of 8 per cent per annum, will be paid, absorbing about Y40,000.
