petition.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, Dec. 22.-Nippon Yusen Kai-
sha, or Japan Mail Steamship Company,
has decided to build in Japanese ship
yards sixteen steamers between now and
1907. These steamers will be used to aug
1nent its great fleet now running to Amer
lea Australia, London and up and down
the Asiatic coast.
The decision was reached to build them
thus early that the company may be pre-
pared to meet the growing competition
running to the Orient. At the semi-year-
" meeting of the shareholders of the
company, held at Toxic three weeks ago,
President Kondo made a lengthy report
covering the companys financial opera
tions. BY his recommendation 100000 yen
was added to the reserve for equalizlng
the dividends. This reserve now reaches
3,30O 200 yen, insuring the payment of Z
and a half. He specially recommended
the setting aside of 100000 yen per year
for developing navigation and improving
the fleet. BY this move the cost Of the
sixteen steamers will be largely provided
out of the cOmpany's earnings.
Mr.. TatsuO, representing the minority
stockholders, who desire larger dividends,
protested against accepting President
Kondo's recommendations, and especially
against the sum appropriated for rewards
TO high officers of the company. He was
almost unanimously voted down.
President KondO's report showed net
profits for the half-year ending Septem-
ber 30 to be 1853 62S yen. The company s
receipts for this period included: For the
carriage of goods, 6,927, ,2S8 yen; passen-
yen; subsidies, 3,0S9, 438 yen; bounties, 346.
