The annual meeting Of the stockholders OF
he Union Pacific railroad was held In Boston
on the 9Th.

iso, 900 shares In the ballot, OF which 245, 900
came In charge Of George Gould In the inter

SsYoting began promptly at 1880 o'clock.
From the first the opposition developed unex-
pected strength, but the appearance Of George
Gould with proxies for $4,000 London shares
caused Waterloo for the opposition, who
managed to elect Mr.. Lane in place OF Mr..
Clark by an exceedingly narrow majority.
George Gould is delighted.

Perfect tranquility existed throughout Rome,

small and the language was not particularly

There were no outbreaks In Spain, and there
was no excitement In Berlin. There was
