STOCKHOLDERS.

A correspondent of the London Times
writing from Berlin, furnishes some ex-
PLANTATION of the present condition of the
prolonged negotiations between the Brit
ish government and the shareholders of
the Netherlands South African railway.
which was confiscated during the Boer
war. There was report that the Brit
ish government. in preparing a final set
Element, had definitely recognized a GER
tain number of shares as valid. and had
raised objections against others. 1t ap-
pears that the real trouble is over the
proof of original ownership. The British
government demands evidence to show
that when the South African war broke
out the shares. presented for redemption,
were not in the possession OF either Of
the Transvaal government or of the local
officials of the railway. The Association
of German shareholders claimed that this
demand was not in accordance with the
original British proposals which they had
accepted and urged that detailed evidence
Of this nature would be in many instances
unobtainable. while in other cases the at
tempt to obtain IL would involve inordin-
act delay. 1t seems that now the British
authorities have consented to accept as
evidence certificates from the German
stamp Offices. showing the dates on
which the shares were stamped in Ger
many. The possibility OF experimenting
this evidence is now under discussion.
The impression prevails that in many
cases the proofs of origin which have
been handed in will soon be recognized
as ADEQUATE. The German Foreign Of
fee. ii is understood. is once more taking
part in the negotiations. as well as high
English legal authorities. .
