Some Anecdotes in the Life of the New
President,

President Archibald Angus Mcleod of
the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad
Company has become prominent figure
| in New England railroad matters. since
the union of the Boston and Maine with
| the Reading.
The President of the Boston and Maine
Railroad has name capable of being
pronounced in more different ways than
that of any other railroad man in the
world, Perhaps this is an attribute of
versatility. He1e are some of the pro-
nounciations most generally used; Nc
Lloyd, McLoud, McLade, McLed, McLid,
Mcleod, McLud, Mcleod. None of these
is the pronunciation used by the possess
or of the name. He utters it in this way,
"McLee-od."
1t is generally accepted as a
dictate the pronunciation of his own
name, and NJ. Mcleod has passed upon
the question of what his is.
The yound railroad mamie is 44years
Olu-UCS,da LID PlOlCoClOA DIS d IOulldU.
He had climbed over mountains and
waded through streams while lying down
a course for the Northern Pacific. Then
he returned East, and nothing was heard
of him until one day his name appeared
on its time table as the General Manager
of the Elmira, Cortland and Northern
Railroad.
The Readings President is the last
man in the world to remind you of the
cruel, hard-faced coal baron portrayed
in caricutures in the act of gloating over
few extra pennies wrung from SILVER
ing widow who purchased her fuel in a
pail. There is a lot of geniality about
him, great sense of humor, if he is a
-Scotchman, and he has kindly heart.
s'Neyer fear for your husband" said a
lady to Mrs. Mcleod during the Reading
strike, as she looked at his photograph;
''never fear for him. He has chin for
strikers nearing that the shape of his
chin denoted great firmness of charac-
ter.
Readings President induced George
M. Pullman to break an agreement he
had made with himself never to allow
his parlor, dining or sleeping cars to be
painted any other color than the one
with which the public are familiar.
Mr.. Mcleod wanted lot of blue Pull
man cars. s'Whatp' exclaimed the
Chicago magnate, ''blue Pullman cars!
Never! Think of my oath!'
Bot MI. Mcleod said that he had set
his heart on line of blue Pullmans and
he was going to have them. Mr.. Pull
man said he knew better and that he
wasn't. They hammered away at the
subject for two days and Mr.. Mcleod
carried his point, and you will see blue
Pullmans on the Reading system today.
The proprietor of the palace car COM
pany, it seems, invented the special shade
of color that he applies to his rolling
stock and which reminds one of over
cooked spinach, and he is very proud of
it. 1t was hard to get him to modify
what had become a sort of fixed moral
princip pie with him, and Mr.. Mcleod is
about the only man in the United States
who could have carried the point.

"Cc)nmissioner BlCrnt's report will

troops from the Boston long before there
was any valid excuse for their presence
on Hawaiian soil; that he declined to re-
move them when requested to do so by
the government and informed that the
authorities were willing and fully able
to preserve order and to protect Ameri-
can interests; that these troops were stI
toned across the street from the govern
ment building in which Minister stevens
knew the revolutionistS wtIe about to
read their proclamati tion and that the rev.
olutionistS committee relied upon Ameri-
can troops to protect them in this act of
rebellion; that Minister Stevens recog-
niZed the provisional government accord
ing to a preconceived programme before
that government had obtained possession
of the departments and military power
at Honolulu, and that the military power
was surrendered, as the queen surren-
dered, only through awe of the superior
force of the United States. Commission
er Bloupt did his work with great thor
oughness. During the five or six months
of his stay in Honolulu he worked with
a single purpose to ascertain the truth
He secured statements from members of

about thu revolution, from officers of the

MANY SAILORS LOST

London, Nov. 20.-Up to Sunday night
at least 200 lives are known to have been
lost during the gale which has swept over
the British coast for fCrty-eight hours
past, and in addition, the crews of sew
cral boats are still missing. The news ar.
irving every hour records further fatali-
ties and details the great damage done
by the storm. 1t is generally agreed
that the weather which has Just visited
the coast of England, Scotland and Ire
land is the most severe in many years.
Dispatches received from Banf say that
the seashore for thirty miles is strewn
with the wreckage of vessels. Some idea
of the force of the gale can be gathered
from the fect that two heavy railroad
engines were blown off the track near
Inverness, blocking all traffic north and
necessitating the despatch of two wreck
ing trains to clear the track. The wreck
age trains have not since been heard
from, SO 1t is supposed that the work
has been impeded by a fall of snow.
Tremendous damage has been done at
West Hartlepool by the storm, which
will cause much loss and consequent suf
fering to the miners of that locality
Considerable anxiety is expressed for the
safety of the crews of hundred fishing
boats which were last seen being driven
northward by the force of the gale. From
all parts of Ireland, where there is tele-
graphic communication, come reports of
the severity of the gale which has been
accompanied there by heavy snow
storm. Several fatalities and numerous
cases of injury are reported at Water
ford, Carrick Fergus, Belfast, NeWry and
Skilibreen.
