Tha total length of their main wa bow 4il mile. Their profit had been or Ctli merw than it waa in tha previous year, although it waa 119 lea than wa required to pay the dividends aad bono racommeaded.

Of course, they would like to see their rental expand, and ha hoped that it might do so ia tho future, but they must remember that electricity ia Franca wa a very much mora powirful enemy to grapple with than it wa ia thi country, and considering all the circumstances ha thought they might congratulate themaelre that they had come Out so well. They would remember that they were informed last year that tha company had been compelled to go to law with the municipality of Nantes for imposing what the director considered an cnjut tax on the company They were so far successful at the outset that the municipality came to them with a suggestion to make terms, which they did on fairly satisfactory son ditioni. At Caea a Terr unfortunate accident had occurred in tha sulpnato of ammonia works, ly which one of their workmen lost hi life. Aa inquiry was instituted by the French authorities, and ha was clad to state that the company bad net been found guilty of any negligence. business tad been rather bad at Caen, but at itouea things had been much mora successful.

They had in that city 000 coin and he thought that there was a chance of a considerable increase in that direction. They had made ct tracts fcr coal at a cheap rate for two years. Mr. Besley and the general manager baa vtsiieu me tiauons, ana tcey reported that tLey found everything in a very satisfactory con dition. Mr.

Tha amount that would be Beaded to dear off tha prnent debts would be over Tha director for their loan of 16,000 had aa (ecurity 14,100 of first dsbeotures and of second dsbentnre. Tha com. miUee, ether than Mr. Edward Lea, vara af optmiea that it was a molt unwise act ever to hare taken aeer the old company under a scheme tha burden of which was utterly impossible for tha Daw company to baa. Tba death of Sir Augusta Harris, while not in any way accounting for the losse which had been made, had certainly caused a vary serious break in tha management which it as almost impossible to repair.

Having in riaw Ue order of Mr. Justice Vaughan William to wind np the company eompalaorily, the committee recommended the appointment of a committee of inspection. Mr. Helby added that ia hi opinion a new company might be formed oa such a haai a would riv a return to the shareholder. Mr.

Lee said he could hardly have been expected to sign a report which reflected oa his coo act a a former director. With regard to tha statement by the committee that it had been unwise oa tha part of hoard to take over the old company under a theme, he said that that wa the object for which the roapaay wa fonred, and I Ley had only carried out the wishes of the shart holders as expressed by resolution before subscribing their money, liut for tba order winding up tha company cowpulscrily be tho old have been prepared to lay a cheme before them which be believed would Lave given successful results. It would, however, not be of any use placing nch a scheme befcre them at the present inurcent. Ur.

Attention waa mainly devoted to four site (1) Qima, on tba coaJt, below the ancient of (4) Trypeti, a Tillage above the city, where the axoavnior lived during their ttsy on the island, and where some Dipylon tomb were opened and fragment waaaa found, and also some tomb of the sixth century which yielded a really beautiful aerie of ornament in gold and silver (3) Tramythia, near Klitna, where, among otaer things, wa found a mosaie pave neat whlchr for completeness and for beauty of design wad colouring, compare favourably with any that had previously been found in Greece and (4) Phylakopi, where undoubted trace of a Uyceuran city have been discovered whioh should amply repay further investigation. Of these sites Klima alone wa disappointing.

Mr. Smith himself directed the work in Uelo for the first few week, with the help of Ur. Mackenzie, and when ha retained to Ataen to be present during the Olympic games, and at the time when English visitors War chiefly to be' expected, Mr. Hosanquet, who had taeanwhOe been in charge at Athens, came out with Ur. Clark to assume the direction of the wofrk in Melos, whicn wa, however, again visited by Ur.

Smith before hi return to England. Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Kitson also assisted in Melos, as did Ur. Wedd, Fellow, and Mr.

Hemingway, Scholar, of King' College, Cambridge, who were out for a time about Easter. But, besides the excavation in Uelo, tbe director wa enabled also, through the generosity of two friends, who. placed a sum of money at hi private disposal, and through the courtesy of the Greek authorities, to undertake lor the first time some excavations in Athens itself. In the choice ot tha aita and in other practical details throughout tha work Sir. Smith was advised by Dr.

Dorpfeld, whose knowledge of Athenian topography and experience in excavation in and about the ancient city are unrivalled. Tha aita selected, and for which the director, after long negotiations witn tne proprietor, obtained tne necessary Sritxa asd Poxd (Limited). The ordinary general meeting wa held yeiterday at the Freemason Tavern. Ur. Felix W.

Spier, who presided, formally moved the adoption of the report. Ur. Paul Cremieu Javal, in aeeooding the motion, observed that the accounts showed exceptionally good results for the year' working. The profit in the past year had been 103, COO, compared with In the previous year. A great part of tbe increase was, however, exceptional.

At their meeting a year ago he pointed out that they would have to reorganise their system of writings oif.and amortization, and this year they had written otf 12,300 more than they did last jear for depreciation and amortization. On the other hand, they made an exceptional loss of about 7,000 in the last quarter of tte precious year owing to tne irosi ana to lnlluenxa. ineir extra proCt in the past year arus from their having had no sucQ lossi and they had also had the good fortune to find that their stores had continued to increase and develop satisfactorily, and that they now yielded a fair and proper return over and above the interest on the capital. They had alio been greatly helped in the past year by ine result or um reiresnment contract at tne Empire of India Exhibition. The general revival of trade at the beginning of tbe year had also been in their favour, but at tbe outset of every great revival of this son a mucn larger proportion oi ma gross receipt became net, receipt than could be expected to continue, ior thi reason that aa the revival of trade went on throughout tbe country all commodities became dearer, and tney had to pay more for everything they required, and tbe labour bill also very considerably iocteased.

They bad appropriated of their profits to add to tne reserve tuna, wmcn wouia urns De increased to 70,000, and the amount now appropriated would be similarly invested in first class securit es.

There is one development to which the com auittee attach great importance. Ever since the school Wa first opened, in 1886, it has been contemplated that who.

fund allowed, and when the achool wa eita hijahwd on a firm basis, the director' house, with the achool library, should be supplemented by tudent' juartera in or near tha achool. The managing committee veiseva that the time ha now come for carrying out thi to Motion, and hare therefore decided to inrite subscrip boo toward a special building fund for the purpose. tTh committee Lav ascertained that a suitable bouse oould be built for from 00 to 00, and in order to cover tha further expenses of furnishing, tc, they alaaara to raise not lee than 1,200.

He also considered it monstrous to charge a third class passenger 4d. for a cup of tea. Dr, Dr) sdale thought the company might rater a little more than they did for those who did not require alcoholic liquors. Ur. Cremieu Javal.

in reply, stated that tbeir new lease wtia tho Bouin tiestern llauway Company wa 00 much more onerous terms than the reced na lease. If they attempted to reduce the tariff on that line tney would mate no pront on tbe contract, ilajor General Truell said he believed that more prodt would be made if they sold cups of Ua cheaper. Ur.

The chairman, in moving the adoption of tbe report for the half year ended the 30th stated that, thank to fine weather, low prices for forage, and good management, they were able to submit a favourable statement of account. It would be is tbe recollection of tbe shareholders that at the last half at Olvmrx and tho United Statei achool. which en. Sored 2,000 a year. Tba Britiah achool had only a pecarieoa revenue of 1,400, of which, for the first aime, a Government grant formed part.

It was true that thai 500 a year from ths Treasury wa only pro nised for It years but it would La the fault of tbe achool if that grant were not continued. It wa clear Jhe eool waa doing it brat on it modest resources. It a at first sight matter of surprise that Oxford and wdwidg. did so little for thi work, but whan be was at Oxfasd tha ether da tba Public Orator, in a yearly meeting the director informed them that they had deposited a Bill in Parliament' to obtain power to make a double line of tramway from Camberwell to Vauxhall in lieu of the existing single line, aad also to make a tramway over the new Vauxhall bridge, when it wa built. Tbey proceeded with this Bill, and at the same time the London County Council deposited a Bill in Parliament also to enable them to construct a line over the new Vauxhall bridge.

A a result ot negotiation with tba Council, they withdrew that portion of tbeir Bill relating to the Vauxhall bridge, and the Council's Bill.as well as the comi any' amended Dill, was passed. So far a the Bill of tbe Council wa concerned they ucceeded ia having a clause inserted which provided that, until such time a tho Councd ahould have acquired possession of the Company' line, tha VauxhallVauxhall bridge line should be worked excluivelv by the company upon term to be agreed, or, in defaujt rf agreement, upon sucn terms a might be nxed by arbitration. The board thought that the hareholder would agree with them that this arrangement was eminently satisfactory. Their own Bill further nrovided that tha Council might enter into arrangement with them as to the purchase of their' hue belore tbe statutory period arrived, and also for the leasing of the same to the com UnV. It was not the intention of tbe directors la rarre out the work of doubling the authorized Camber weft and Vauxhall line unless they came to some ratisfactory arrangement with the Council.

He was not in a position that day to give the shareholder any information on that Their interests in this matter were being carefully looked after by the directors, and the shareholder might safely leave them in tbeir hand. Accord ing to tbe newspaper the Council were waiting to arrange with the North Metropolitan and the London street iramway tympanies belore they came to any arrangement with them. The motion wa seconded by Colonel C. U. Davidson and carried unanimously.

The secretary read the directors' report, in which tbe payment ot the usual dividend wa recommendednamely, 20. per share on tbe fully paid shares and 15s. per shire on those with 7 10s. paid, less the interim dividends of 8s. and 6s.

per share re spectively paid on rebruary 1 last, iney also recommended the payment of a special bonus of 1 per cent, on all classes, according to the amount paid thereon, and, further, that 11V be taken from the reserve of undivided profits in order to make up tbe amount required to pay the dividend and bonus. The chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, stated that their ga rental had amounted to 235,262, showing a loss of 673 as compare 1 with that of the previous year. Thi wa accounted for by tha keen competition of electricity against which tney had to contend at most of their stations. They txjiered that the most effectual weapon with which to fipht against their enemy was cheapness, and they also thoucht that the incandescent burner was a very useful friend. Their company was, however, conducted ou different principles to those of the London companies, and although they were most happy at all time to make concessions to' any large consumers who would enter into contracts for a considerable time, yet they were not able, owing to a variety of supply gss at quite as low a rate at reople obtained it for in London.

They had 42,030 stoves out, an increase on the year of 2,000 and tbry alaa had 301 gas engines. They had 33,434 consumers, showing an increase ot 2,381. Their coal last year cost them 2,346 lea than in the previous year, and they bad received from coke 294 less. Their receipt from tar had been 961 more, but they had derived 1,542 lea from sulphate of ammonia, which had been felling very badly for the last year or ao. Ue was glad to say that tbey kept no stocks.

Tbeir had dbta ou their large rental had been only 376, showing that their collectors dil their werk admirably, Ther alcamate. the shareholders oucbt to have been furnished with a balance sheet showing the finaneial position of the oompany. The chairman, in reply, said the company had cash at bankers aud at call an I in first class securities amounting to 200,000 in Pietersbu'rg Pretoria Railway stock, 50,000 in shire in various South African gold and other undertaking, about 50,000 and about 50,000 ia certain other share taken over at the incorporation of the rompany. These gave a total of 350,000. Beeiug that under tha scheme they were to hare 300,001) Ocesca shares, which at that day's price ware worth 450,000, he thought it must be admitted that they had second very satisfactory terms.

The resolution was passed unanimously. ArsiCASA (LlMITin). An extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held yesterday at Winchester having for its object the con'olidation of tbe interests of tha Oceana, Africans, and Austral African Conl paniea. Ur. L.

K. V. Uovle occupied the chair. At tha commencement of the proceeding Ur. M.

A. Green asked if the resolution proposed to be submitted would require confirmation, and if it was the intention of the board to hold the ordinary annual meeting according to the articles of association. The chairman replied that tha resolution would Lot require to be confirmed. After it had been passed it would be for tbe shareholders to decide whether the company was to be wound up or not. If it wtre wound up the ordinary annual would not taka place.

Green said that in that case thi company would hava never held an ordinary general inciting. The chairman, proceeding with hi speech. remarked that tho proposed amalgamation would not nave taken the shareholder by surprise. statutory meclmz be mttxated that someth ng sort wa in contemplation. Originally tho idea wa to unite with one rompany only, nut time nau impressed on them the advantage of foruiinz a laree and powerful combination with ample funds, which would be able to hold it am in that vast and lueratiro field in South Africa which the energy aud enterprise of Englishmen had opened up to the romivtitive interests of the wcrld.

There were other ways of employing capital in South Africa apart from gold mining, among the most important being tbe building of railways and the development of coalfield. In both of these the new company, which would give them a cash capital of about 500,000, had already acquired a subxtantjal intenst. Ur. Harris observed that, although they had a much larger capital than the Oceana Company ur the Austral African Company, they wrre by the rchrroe of amalgamation placed in afar worse position than those two compwnie. Before approving the scheme he thought a committee of shareholders should be appointed to consider it.

Ur. lloare asked that they should be, furnished with a' balance sheet showing the financial state of the company. Ur, Woolf supported the request tor the production of a balance sheet. He pointed out that no account had ever been placed before them, and tbey did not know how their money had ben invested. On no cround could be why ths shareholders of the other corn panic were to obtain better terms than those of this company were to have.

Th chairman replied that the business of the company had been carried on in accordance with the object lor which tbe company was formed. The best possible term had been obtained for them in the amalgamation proposals, aad it was evident that the majority of the shareholders were satisfied'from the fact that the board had reccited proxies representing 763,000 votes in their favour. He moved that the draft agreement with the Oceana Company be approved. Ur. W.

Pfizmajer seconded the motion. An amendment to adjourn the meeting until 'a properly audited balance sheet was circulated among the shareholders was lost, and the original resolution was carried by a considerable majority. Qczksx CourAXr (Limited). An extraordinary reneral meeting of the shareholders was held yesterday at Winchester bouse. Mr.

H. Pasteur prrsiduui. The chairman explained that the meeting had been convened to consider a scheme ol amalgamation wLich, it accepted, would place this company ia the first rank of south Alrican enterprise, iiotn the companies with which it was proposed to amalgamate the African and the Austral African were innuentially supported by some' or the leading Cnancial establishments in fans, and on several occasions the Oceana Company had been associated with them in financial operations. By joining tuese turco companies into one tey securru tue cooperation of important groups instead of having them as rivals, and they obtained tbe assistance of tbe valuable staff of mining engineers belonging to the concerns ia which they would become interested. They would also enjoy the advantage of greater economy of management.

In addition they, would find themselves possessed cf resources amounting to 500.000 in cash and liquid assets, and a large amount 0 other assets. The resources of the united company would be ample, not only to work and develop its lands or mining properties, but also to enter into fresh business in the Tranavsal as opportunities arose. Farther, tbey would be able to undertake railways or other works which it might be desirable to carry out for tbe purposes of developing their farms. In this connexion, be mentioned that, alter unceasing efforts, they bad at last been suc cessful in obtaining the concession of the Fietersburg fretona Hail way Company for the syndicate which they helped to form three years ago, and that th. rail war company had been formed, thank to the co opera tion with them of the African and Austral African companie.

Thi line would open up the whole oi the central and northern portions of the Transvaal, where the bulk: 01 the uceaua properties were situated. Io conjunction with the Austral African Company they had also taken part in the construction of the Be ire Junction Railway, which would, it was hoped, be open for traffio next month. This line would connect the port of tieira with I ontesTiUe, the present terminus of the Leira 'Hallway, aud it was a moat important link in the railway from the sea to Fort Salisbury. After stating that the composition of the new board was not definitely settled, but that it would be constituted of representatives of tha three companies, be moved a resolution in of tbe schema of amalgamation. Mr.

ISuUocx seconded tbe motion. In reply to Colonel Harris, the chairman said that under tbe schema the shareholders would not be called on to provide further capital. Tho solicitor explained that if the resolution were carried another meeting would hare to ba called to pass a resolution for the voluntary winding up of the company. After further discussion the resolution was agreed to turn, an amendment to adjourn the meeting and appoint a committee of large ibareholder to examine tha schema and report thereon having been negatived. Olympia (Limited).

An extraordinary general meeting of this company was held yesterday at Olympus, Kensington, for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, passing a resolution to the affect that, owing to the company's Inability to continue it business by reason of its liabilities, it was advisable to wind it up voluntarily. 'Ur. Walter Hill, who presided, remarked that since they met last month events had further matured, and Ur. Vaughan Williams had made an order for the compulsory inding up of the company There would, therefore, be no obiect in passing the resolution which they had been convened to consider but the board had not cancelled the notice calling the as they were desirous of facing the shareholders and giving them an opportunity of bearing the report of the committee appointed oa the 24th ult. He then asked Ur.

J. T. Helby to present the report. Mr. Helby said that the committee, having fully inrestirated and care fully considered the position of the company' affairs.

bad come to the conclusion that, in existing circumstances, it would be unwise to recommend the shareholders to in rest sny further capital in it, for the following reascus First, tha neat indebtedness of the company secondly, tha large capital and debenture usvunj anu, iniruiy, uie auacuiiy 01 ootaiaiog at once a competent manarer. It anrwared that the Dresent company commenced booinesa with a cash ital of 57,243, derived from tha varment of 7. 6d. per ahar by the shareholders of tha old eomnany.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir, With reference to Mr. llaweis's letter in The Timet of to day, I am directed by tha Commis sioners ot Inland Kavenue to state the following facts Mr Iliweis was reported on May 30 for keeping a servant without a licence on May 20(the liability to take out such licence having been incurred by him in January). Proceeding were ordered on June 2, and the case fixed for hearing' on July 4. Upon the summons being served Mr.

Haweis returned it to the Board with a short note written on the back of it, and at the same time forwarded his licence, which he had taken out a few days Dei ore tne summons was serreo. I he xJoard then made an order to stay the proceedings ordered against him upon his paying a compromise fine oi3. On the 30th of June Mr. Haweis forwarded a letter to the Board through their local supervisor, giving explanations of the delay in taking out his licence and asking that the fine ahould be reduced. A reply was sent on July 2 in which the Board gave their reasons for adhering to the amount of the fine, but pointed out that it was open to Mr.

Haweis to hare the lease decided by the magistrates if he preferred that course. The fine was not paid, and the case came on for hearing on the 4th inst. in the usual way, when the magistrate imposed a fine of 2. On the 6th two days after tho case had been heard by th magistrate, Mr. Haweis forwarded a cheque for the 5, which the Board had previously consented to accept.

If this had been paid before tho date fixed for the hearing the proceedings would, of course, hare been stayed. Mr. Haweis is entitled to a repayment of 3, the difference between the amount forwarded by him and the penalty imposed by the magistrate, and an order for tne repayment of this sum waa made on Saturday last. Mr. Haweis was fined 2 in 1894 aad 3 in 1895 by tho Board for similar offence.
