New YoRK, May 1S.--George J. Gould

that he must curtail his work.
We would like to have had him
keep the presidency of the Pacific
Mail, but he had good reason OF his
own for not doing so. The stock OF the
company is widely scattered, but sup

outlook for the company has not been

Our business to the Sandwich islands

satisfactory. More pleasant relations
