effect that q prominent director Of the Pacit; Mail
Steamship Company had told his broker that slGOO0O
had been taken the treasury Of that company for
Illegal purposes such as lobbying at Washington and
Albany.
Il was stated that at the former place much money
had been spent securing the subsidy which had been
granted tho Company and it alleged that at the
latter certain privileges in relation to the purchase and
retirement OF portion Of the capital stock had been Oh
tanned only by the use Of money.
large part OF tho money, however, is said 10 have
conc into the pockets OF officials who falsely represented
that it had all gone for lobbying purposes.
Inquiry OF the gentleman who was asserted 20 be the
authority for the rumor, elected the statement that he
knew nothing the Of the C0mpany's affairs
beyond what he had in the newspapers. It was
probably intended 10 influence the price OF the stock.
It was expected that President Socweil and secre-
ary johnson OF the Company would proceed 70 wash
