has resigned his position as Director Of
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, at
. full meeting Of the Board yesterday.
Nothing had been done ct the meeting
toward q reconciliation With the rail-
roads and Mr.. Dillon offered his rssigua-
ton. alter stating that the railroad com.
paniss intended to put . rival line OF
steamers on the China route. His resig.
nation was not accepted. but . commit
tee consisting OF Russell Sage. Henry
Hart and President Houston, was sp-
pointed to confer further with the OH.
GERS OF the overland roads. It 10 under
stood that the railroad companies insist
upon the privilege Of buying the Pacific
Mail steamships now on the China line,
the City OF Toxic and City Of Pskin. for
which they offer Q large price. and that
on this condition alone they will consent
to q new agreement allowing the Steam

mics refused to make better terms, and
the Panama Railroad Company wat
rather DESTROYS that the Pscifo Mail
