Gould Has Regain Control of the Steam
ship Company.
NEW YORK, November 19th.-At meet
ing of the Directors of the Pacific Mail this
afternoon George Gould was elected Presi-
dent and ]. B. Houston, Vice President
Jay Gould, George ]. Gould and Russell
Sage was elected Directors. Gould has re-
gained control of the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company. The contest of last spring,
By which George Gould was oustej from
the Presidency and Gould's representatives
from the directory, will be remembered
George Gould may hard fight at the an
nual meeting May 23d, to retain his hold,
but failed. His report, delivered to the
stockholders at that time, stated that he
met with opposition in plans from GER
tain railway interests in the directory.
These interests, it was then understood,
were these of the Southern end Central
Pacific Roads, represented in the directory
by c. P. Huntington. George Gould's fav.
orite plan for promoting the interests of The
Pacific Mail Company was to extend the
business by putting steamship line be-
tween Tacoma and japan and China. This
scheme, of course, was to the advantage of
the Northern Pacific Road, which has con.
neciions at Tacoma. Consequently it was
bitterly opposed by Huntington.
At the meeting of Directors this after
noon George Gould was present, represent
ing the Gould and Sage interests. The
designations of Edward Lanterbach, G. NJ
MCGEE and Oliver II. PAYNE were received
and George J. Gould, j. Gould and Russell
Sage elected in their places. Then ]. B.
Houston resigned the office of President
and was succeeded by George J. Gould,
who Immediately offered resolution that
Houston be elected Vice-President and
General Manager. This was carried with
out dissent. The Directors decline to state
whether the policy of the company will be
changed in regard to making close connec-
tons with the Northern Pacific and termi-
nus at Tacoma. Another meeting of the
Directors will be held tomorrow, and this
matter may be brought up then.
Kiernan's Agency says the Pacific Mail
Directory changes are the outcome of ami
cable arrangements between Gould and the
Hart faction, and are entirely agreeable to
both. There are no stocked hands.
THE GoULDs INTERVIEWED.
George Gould said to a reporter: my
election was due to my having decided to
take back the interests in the company
with which parted last May. l was actu-
ated. in part, by reports spread abroad that

pursued pollcy unlrlenoly 10 lts property.

lent condition. There is harmony among
the members of the Board of Directors"
jag Gould said The new Board adopted
a policy of working in harmony with the
overland roads, in order that rates may be
maintained and all concerned get share
of the rofts."
The Board of Directors is: Jay Gould,
Russell Sage, Calvin Brice, Samuel Thomas,
G. P. Huntington, Henry Hart, ]. B.
Houston and l. Gates.
The local papers say that when the
present financial furry is over changes

snip Of some of the more important of the
systems of roads. 1t is understood def
nitely Jay Gould has acquired large inter
ests in the Atchison, and that George will
be one of the Directors. 1t is almost GER
tain Gould has large holdings in the Union
Pacific, and it is admitted that be has
