SOUTHERN PACIFIC SYSTEM.
The Board of Directors Meet and
Elect Officers.


SAN FRANCISCO, April 9.lThe an
nual meeting of the Board of Directors
of the Southern Pacific Company was
held to-day, at which the following
officers for the ensuing year were elect
ed without opposition:
President, c. P Huntington; First
vice-President, c. F. iCrocker; Second
Vice-President, T. H. Hubbard; Third
vice-President, ]. c. Stubbs; Secretary,
E. C. Wright; Assistant Secretary, c.
F. Krebs; Treasurer, n. T. Smith; As
sistant Treasurer, F. H. Davis; Control
Ter, William Mahl.
The list Of officers Is the same as that
of last year, with two exceptions. Mr..
Hubbard of New York was chosen Sec
ond Vice-President, to succeed the late
A. n. Towne. ]. c. Stubbs, who, it was
generally believed, would succeed Mr..
Towne, remains in his old position.
E. c. Wright was chosen as Secre-
tary, to succeed the late G.. L. Lansing.
He has been General Auditor of the
company for nearly fifteen years, and
his promotion to the important office
of Secretary fully attests to the conf
dence reposed in him by the company.
Mr. Mahl, the new Controller has
practically been such since the illness of
Mr. Lansing, which resulted in his
death, manifested itself. Mr.. Lansing
acted both as Secretary and Controller,
but the directors deemed it best to-day
to segregate those offices. Mr.. Mahl
who is Mr. Huntington's chief assist
ant in the New York office, will continue
to discharge his duties as formerly.

nual meeting of the Grand Lodge of the
United Workmen. The consideration
of amendments was first in order.

score of economy, making the mileage
rates one-third less than existing rates

VENEZUELAN BOUNDARY DISPUTE.
VAST Ar1OUNT OF DOCUMENTS TO
BE TRANSLATED.
Twelve Hundred Closely Written Pages
Furnished the Committee by the
Southern Republic.

WASHINGTON, April 9-Mr NAL
lcttProvost has had a conference at
the Venezuelan Legation with Minister
Andrade relative to the translation and
printing of the documents recently re-
ceived by Mr.. Andrade on the subject
of the boundary dispute between Vene-
zuela and Great Britain. Owing to the
fact that it has not yet been possible
to make and print translations of the
documents, they have not been formally
presented to the Commission. It is the
intention of Mr.. Andrade to submit
both the original documents and the
printed translations as soon as they can
be prepared.
The following will serve to give some
idea regarding the extent and import
ance of these documents They are
contained in three large folio volumes.
and comprise from 1,00G to 1,200 close
ly written pages. Most of them are in
the form of certified copies of original
manuscripts on file IN the archives at
Seville, Simancas, and Madrid. Many
documents cited ami quoted by the
British Government in the blue book
recently presented to Parliament are in
that book given only in the form of ex-
tracts.
Some of the documents now in the
hands of Mr.. Andrade are complete
copies of these same papers, and will,
therefore, enable the Commission to
form much more accurate idea with
regard to their exact meaning and
value. In some cases the extracts given
in the blue book are exceedingly mea-
ger, as, for instance, in the case of the
report sent by the Governor of Cumana,
Don Jose Diguja, on December 15 1863
The extract from this report as given
in the blue book covers two and a half
pages The original report, a certified
copy Of which is now at the Venezuelan
Legation contains nearly 400 pages.
The translation of these documents;
will necessarily occupy some weeks as
the Interpretation of the technical Ian
guage used for legal documents in the
sixteenth. seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries in which they are couched
requires more than ordinary skill and
care
In addition to the three quarto vol
umes mentioned, Mr.. Andrade states
that in the course of two or three weeks
he expects to receive from the Vene-
zuelan Legations at The Hague Rome
and Madrid copies of further documents
which agents of his Government have
been enga ged in collecting.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 9.-The
British ship Blairmore was capsized
in the bay off the Union Iron Works
this morning and six of her crew were
drowned.
The dead are: First Mate T. Ludgate,
Seaman Henry F. Clark, Apprentice
Roland Siegle, Seaman G. Rennebaum,
Steward Samuel Kenny and Watchman
H. Sinstrand.
The ship is now at the bottom of the
bay and the bodies Of the drowned men
are imprisoned in the hold. 1t will be
impossible to recover them for several
days. Then the work will be done by
divers.
The Blairmore was anchored about
half a mile off the Union Iron Works
in seven fathoms of water. During the
early part of the night she was held
only by one anchor. But at o'clock
this morning, when the storm came up,
all available anchors were dropped and
her other fastenings made secure
Though the weather was squally all
the morning, the ship held fast and
Captain Caw had apparently no reason
to fear. At Z o'clock, however, the wind
suddenly sprang up from the south
east with increased violence. The tide
was then at it's flood, and taking the
snip on the starboard bilge heeled her
over considerably. So with the wind
on the port bow the ship was in very
dangerous position. The Captain at
that time, however, thought the wind
had about exhausted itself. But sud-
denly and without warning a wild
squall rushed up, and catching the yes
sci under the port bow, lifted her COM
pletely out of the water For a moment
she seemed held in the air. From that
position she dropped over on her side
and shortly after sank out of sight.

Were Attempting to Rob Him.
LOS ANGELES, April 9.-Sheriff Burr
received word by telephone tonight
that Thomas F. Hayes, storekeeper at
Puentre, twenty miles east of this city,
was murdered in his store by robbers.
Two men, one wearing a white hat and
oilskin coat, the other masked with
gunnysack, entered Hayes store when
he was alone and about closing up and
covering his with revolvers ordered him
to unlock the safe. Hayes complied,
but just about the time he had the safe
opened three or four men entered the
store. Emboldened by the thought that
he would receive help from the new
comers, he grabbed a revolver which he
kept near the safe and turned it on
the robbers, but before he could pull
the trigger they both fired at him. kill
ing him instantly. The desperadoes
then, keeping the men who had Just
come in, and who were unarmed. at
bay with their revolvers, made their es-
cape without securing any plunder.
The Sheriff has organized a posse and
gone in pursuit of the murderers.

5000 per bale finds no purchaser now
even at $500. Thirty thousand bales
are lying in Yokohama awaiting mar
ket, and that large stock will now be
increased by several thousand piculs OF
spring reelings. No signs of good
demand from either America or Eu-
rope are apparent. The wholesale SILK
merchants of Yokohama petitioned the
Government and principal banks for
aid, but without any favorable result.
It is calculated that the minimum loss
to Japanese producers and middlemen
will be $1OO per bale on the stocks al
ready accumulated, which means a
total loss of over $3,000,000. Among
the thirty principal dealers in Yoko-
hama about dozen are reduced to the
verge of bankruptcy, and some 70 per
cent of the sericulturists in the prov
ince are ruined.
