This procedure, not meeting with the concurrence of the Cantonese shareholders in the North, they promptly telegraphed to their com patriots in Hongkong and Canton, with the A. S. WATSON & CO., object of obtaining the support of the latter in a joint protest against the board elected by the Shanghai shareholders. In response to that appeal, a meeting of shareholders was held in Hongkong on Monday, H.E. Cheang Pat-isz, who presided, beingsupported by H.E. Wu Ting-fang. The result of that meeting has already been published. Three resolutions were passed. The first was to the effect that local shareholders were entirely in favour of the proposal that the concern should be re. gistered as a limited liability company. The local shareholders, however, declared their

THE CHINA merchantS'

COMPANY.

The China Merchants' Steam Navigation, Company has long held a prominent position. in the shipping world of China, and may fittingly be described as the Cunard Line of China. Hitherto, the Company, al though owned and controlled by Chinese shareholders' in the North and South, in the Straits, and, in fact, wherever Chinese sub jects have settled, has not been registered as a limited liability company, for the very good reeson that until the formation of the Nung Kung Shaugpu, or Ministry of Agri- culture, Works and Commerce, there existed no registration laws in China. Since the formation of the Ministry of Commerce, however, and the enactment of laws affecting the registration of companies, it has become practicable for corporations to be registered on lines very similar to those obtaining with As we recorded in a special telegrant บ from Shanghai last week, a meeting of the shareholder in the China Merchants' Steam Navigation Company was held with the object of electing special representatives of the company for the purpose of registering it as a commercial concern in the Ministry of Agriculture, Works and Commerce. According to our in formation, the promoters of that meeting had the object of registering the company in view some three months ago, and they pro cooded with great diligence to secure their end, and at the same time to conform to the articles of association, by obtaining the required majority to elect a board consisting of the following gentlemen: H.E.
