c. p. Huntington Elected President of
the Company.
New YORK, May 1S.-George J. Gould
refused to accept new term as President
of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company,
owing to the pressure of other business.
c. p. Huntington will succeed him.
Huntington said: could found that
since the death of his father, Jay Gould,
his duties were so great that he must cur
tail his work. We would like to have had
him keep the Presidency of the Pacific
Mail, but he had a good reason of his own
in not doing SO. The stock of the COM
pany is widely scattered, but I suppose
am a stockholder. The outlook of the
company has not been so good for twenty
years. We have practically a monopoly
of the business on the west coast, which
is very profitable. Our business to the
Sandwich Islands and China and Japan
Is entirely satisfactory. More pleasant
relations have been established between
the Pacific Mail and the Panama Rail
road. We have stopped calling each other
names. 1t is natural that the two COM
panies should operate together on through
business, and / think traffic arrange
ments between them will be re-estab-
lished before long. There are more
reasons why they should not fight than
why they should fight"

This festivity is in the midst of serious
times. Our army requires to be increased
and remodeled. l have summoned the
nation to provide the necessary means.
All other questions are inferior to this
most serious question-one upon which

REMARKABLE PROPOSITION,
BERLIN, May 1S.-Following the ex-
ample of the banking houses and leading
firms connected with the Boerse in start
ing an election fund for the support of the
army, joint committee Of the associated
iron and steel industries of Germany
has made the remarkable proposal that
part OF the expenditure required by the
new army bill be voluntarily subscribed
by the great industrial, commercial and
financial interests of the country. The
committee calculates that the Joint stock
companies of the empire, representing
an annual aggregate profit of 500, ,OOO, 600
marks, would have no difficulty in sub
scribing the necessary credit, and such
voluntary contribution will be less oner-
GUS than the dangerous fluctuations
caused by the unsettled state of public
affairs consequent on the struggle between
the Kaiser and Reichstag, should the lat
ter continue to reject the army bill.

THERE WAS NO DANGER.
A Runaway Electrician Quickl,
Checked on a Hill.

What might have been serious acci-
dent yesterday morning was averted by a
motorman's presence of mind. AS car ii
of the San Mateo electric line was descend
ing the Guerrero-street hill, between
Twentieth and Twenty first street, the
brakes gave way and the car rushed down
the grade for few momen is at terrific
speed. Instead or losing his head and be
coming ratified" at the mishap the mot or
man quickly gyasped the reverse lever. and
the runaway car was brought to sudden
stop and began to ascend the steep grade
instead of continuing its headlong caree
of M mOment before.
Although the passengers were consider
ably alarmed and expressed their uneasi-
ness there was little danger, and the
prompt action in reversing the current
proved how groundless those fears were.
They were thankful, nevertheless, for
what some thought was a miraculous es-
cape.
Electric cars have an advantage in
ascending and descending grades over the
horse or cable cars. When an accident oc-
ours or the brakes give way the motor
man Of the electrician has only to handle
lever, and by slight turn the current of
electricity applied to the car is reversed
and the conveyance at once ascends the
hill or can be brought to a standstil. This
was very fortunate for the patrons Cn the
electrician yesterday. Had it been cable
or horse car the tale would have been diff
ferent.

larger In this fraternity than any other
and the membership more fuctuating.
There being no sick or funeral benefit system
or anything Of pecuniary beneficial character
to hold the members. many naturally seek
orders and associations which furnish these
advantages and protection and drop the order
which has in many instances placed them upon
their feet and made them eligible TO join other
fraterDites. The value and practical worth of
this order cannot be judged as others are by its
numerical strength or financial status. as its
