BRITISH SOUTH AFRICA COMPANY.
ruronrious Mecfing-un Underwriting
of New shares.


LONDON. November 6.-An excited and
extremely uproarous meeting OF the d.
rectors and shareholders OF the British
South Africa Company was held in Lon
don this afternoon. the Duke OF Abercorn
nrcsiding The Duke OF Fife, Lord Gif-
ford and Sir Horace Farquhar were
an,one. those In attendance. The share
holders rejected a scheme formulated by
the directors for an Underwriting OF new
shares. and the result of the vote caused
great excitement.
The Duke of Aberccrn was cheered as
he rose TO address the meeting from the
chair. The outbreak Of the natives In
Rhodesia be said, had been unforeseen,
and had cost heavily, exhausting the
fund of 100000 in cash. which the British
South Africa Company had on hand last
February. The outbreak had been
ouelled. however: the rlnderpest, which
mad worked great havoc in the company's
territory. was abating. and the general
outlook had encouraged the directors TO
bring forward the proposed increase of
the company's capital 81 10000 in shares
of Il each. The Duke said he could not
discuss the Jameson raid. or the resig-
nations Of Mr.. Cecil Rhodes and Alfred
Belt from the directory OF the company
until after a parliamentary committee
had made an inquiry into the events
which had occurred in South Africa af-
fecting the company.
The motion 10 increase the capital OF
the company was seconded by the Duke
OF Fife
Shareholder De Pass protested against
the proposed increase. but the Duke Of
Abercorn nevertheless declared amid
great confusion. that the increase had
been carried.
The Duke then moved that the meet
ing approve the arrangements which had
been made by the directors 10 underwrite
10000 OF these new shares.
The motion was received with shouts
Of dissent and Mr.. De Pass moved that
the meeting give a direct negative TO the
underwriting proposal. Mr.. De Pass's
motion was carried by n large majority.
When the motion offered by the Duke
Of Abercorn was lost the Duke said:
Then l rely upon you to take up the
shares"
The uproar was renewed. and several
shareholders shouted: Are the new
shares intended to pay Kruger's indem-
nity?'
Finally. IL was decided that the new
shares should be issued without under
writing the directors saying that they
counted upon the shareholders subscrlb-
ing the money.
