THE following extract is from the n. l..
Tribune of March 7th:
We stated day or two ago that Mr..
Davidge had been elected President of the
Pacific Steamship Company, vice Mr.. Aspin-
wall, resigned. In relation to this change
the Commercial says:
Mr.. Aspinwall stated that it had been his
wish for some time past to resign, and that
the embarrassed condition of the Company
for the last two years had been the only
reason for his retaining the Office. The
Company is now in an Independent position
Its commercial agency had been resigned by
Messrs. Rowland & Aspinwall on the lst Of
January, and the large Indebtedness to that
house paid off Since then the current ex-
penses had been paid in cash, and there is
now a balance to the credit of the Company
in the Life and Trust Company, and in ad-
dition to large deposit in the Bank Of
America, and an amount Of 100000 due,
mostly from the Government. After al
luding to the present condition of the steam
ers and other property of the Company, Mr..
Aspinwall stated that since its organization
it had transported between Panama and
San Francisco from l40 900 to $50 600 pas
sengers, and had never lost life by any
marine disaster. 1t had never even lost a
trip in the contract for mail service. 1t
would be difficult to find a parallel for these
facts in the history Of ocean steam naviga
tion, especially when the distance and dill
fculties of the route are considered.
