San Francisco, and new and powerful
line on the Pacific. to run exclusively in
the interest of the railroads and their
European connections. The name of
Governor Leland Stanford has been
mentioned in connection with the con-
templated enterprise. The Governor
says II TINS negotiations punaing w~Io
successfully concluded, he thought ii
very likely he would visit Europe to
make arrangements for the purchase of
vessels. Russell Sage the President of
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company,
expressed regret at the present competi-
ton between the Pacific Mail and the
Pacific Railroads. which he said was in
juring all parties. He claimed that the
Pacific Mail Company were willing to do
anything to put nm end to all difficulties.
He attached little importance to reports
in regard to the establishment of a rival
line, if the railroads attempted anything
of the kind they could be at once en-.
joined for the violation Of their charters.
1t was quite likely, however, that Gov.
Stanford and others would try to estab-
lish line in connection with the Pacific
Railroad.
