To the Editor Of The Catt-SIR: In an
article in this mornings Examiner rela-
tive to the affairs of the Central Pacific
Railroad shareholders, several errors ap-
pear regarding the doings and intentions
of c. Z. Bretherton ana his friends, which
in his absence l desire to correct out Of
justice to HIM.
Mr. Bretherton and his friends control
barely enough shares 10 enable them to
elect one director out of seven, and he has
neither the power nor the am bition which
the article attrI bu;es to him. The resigna-
lions If Messrs. c. 7. Huntington and l.
f. Gates from tie board OF directors were
entirely voluntary on their part, for tenn
porary reasons, ana without suggestion
or "iorcing" by Mr.. Bretherton. The
called Tor October Is, merely 10 afford an
opportunity for conference concerning
the respective claims of The two rival
English committees. 1t is entirely I'M
official. and if any vote should be taken
there it would have no legal significance.
Mr.. Bretherton has no expectation of
.'wrestinp control" of the company from
Mr. Huntington at that meeting or else
where, so lar as l know. He will prob
ably support the Banbury committee
the more conservative OF the tWo-wlth
what influence he can command. That
committee has been in existence several
wears, has consulted and co-operated with
Mr.. Huntington, and has been hitherto
the recognized EXPONENT of the wishes of
English shareholders. There is every
reason TO suppose that Il Will continue TO
do so. Very truly yours,
CHARLES P. EELLs.

or societies during the incum bencv of Yu
Shi zee, and they regret that it has been
deemed ad visab e for him to sever his
connection with the diplomatic service at
this port. Arrange ments are making to
tender him a grand testimonial banquet
before his departure from the city. He
has been here but five months, but owing
TO the fact that he belongs neither to the
See Yup nor the Sam Yup factions he has
regulated affairs in such an equitable
manner that he has received the praise of
both of these big societies.
The new Consul General has been con-
nected with the legation at Washington
and is familiar with American ways and
people, and much good Is expected from
his incum bency. He has already shown
much interest in the disputes which have
caused 80 much trouble among the
Chinese residents of San Francisco, and

provment begun under the reign OF W
