Ii Is we'll known that Mr.. Houston.
president Of the company, was opposed
TO the existing contract wnen It was
frst eutered into, as he thought thai the
Pacific Mail could reasonably ask for
better terms. such opposition rs he
met with has entirely disappeared, and
the company Is nov prepared to face
whatever questions may arise from the
new order Of things. IL ia 20 be said
that Pacific Mail is in stronger fnAp
cial position than for years, and ID
otherwise well equipped for such con
test as is threatened. IL 10 believed Ia
some quarters, hswevsr. that efforts
will be made to prevent war, aud that
another contract will sooner or later be
made with the steamship company, 10
which event the officials of the latter
will require at least six months or q
years notice from the railroads, should
the latter again desire to withdraw.
