lie dIllCleS VI incorporation ana
amalgamation Of the new railroad cor
poration were filed with the County
Clerk yesterday The capital stock is
fixed at $129, 455, 900, divided into l.
294, 800 shares of the par value Of 500
each. 1t is stated in the articles that
the stock issued and paid for exceeds
81 900 a mile of road. The directors for
the first year are: G. P. Huntington,
New York; Thomas H Hubbard, New
York; George Croker, San Francisco;
&c. E. Green, San Francisco; Charles G.
Lathrop, San Francisco; H. E. Hunt
ington, San Francisco IF S. Douty,
San Mateo; Russell J. Wilson, San
Francisco; N T. Smith, San Francisco
All Of the directors named, with the
exception of F. S. Douty, are directors
Of the Southern Pacific Company.
Yesterday was the day fixed for the
annual meetings of the stockholders OF
the four corporations which have en-
tered the consolidation, but no meet
ings We're held. The explanation given
for this was that there was no need
for the election of officers for another
year, since the several corporations
were about to go out of existence. The
old directors will hold office until al
the details of the consolidation are eff
fected.
W. F. Herrin, chief counsel for the
Southern Pacific Company, in speaking
of the consolidation yesterday, said
/ it meant nothing more than any other
consolidation of like nature.
"All Of the properties Of the several
corporations are simply to be en-
braced in one corporation and under
one management" he said, "and the
several smaller corporations will be
done away with. There have been nu-
merous consultations OF the kind ir
the past, and this is of no more sig
nificance than those that have preceded
it"
Mr. Herrin added that the name Of
| the new corporation would in al
| probability be the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company.
One of the advantages to be derived
from the consolidation will be an econ
omy of administration. There will be
/ but one corporation to maintain where
there have been four, and the neces
sity of keeping separate accounts fol
the four corporations will under the
new arrangement Of things, be elm
/ mated

RAILROAD REORGANIZATION.
CONSOLIDATION OF THE VARI-
Gus s. 2. LINES.
The New Company Will be Known
as the Southern Pacific Rail
road Company.

| (San Francisco Chronicle April 14th)
Within few days several of the
smaller railroad corporations Identified
with the Southern Pacific Company
will pass out of existence A scheme
OF consolidation, by which four of the
companies will be merged into one cor
poration, has been satisfactorily con-
summated and the Incorporation OF the
new and larger company will be effect
ed before the end of the week. The
companies that will go into the con-
solidation are the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company of California, the
California Pacific Railroad, the North
ern Railway and the Northern Califor-
MIA Railway. The South Pacific Coast
Railway, which embraces the narrow
gauge ferry and line to Santa Cruz,
will continue to maintain it's present
independent organization. With this
exception and the exception of the Cen
trail Pacific the new corporation will
embrace all of the railroad properties
in California now leased, owned or OPP
Grated by the Southern Pacific Com
pany. The various properties that will
go into the combine are as follows:

Every man is his brother s
keeper. How does he perform
his trust?- that is the great
question of life
A man scattered broken glass
upon the streets of a town, and
was arrested for jeopardizing
the safety of the bare footed
children.
Another man threw the rub
bish down from a building he
was erecting, and was arrested
for endangering the school chill

A third man started an insti
tuition which has never Deen
known to thrive except by max
ing drunkards of young men and
running them soul and body; but
the saloon-keeper was not arrest
ed, though all the hool-children
had to pass bis place.

kotan for December, in an ex-
tended review Of our Grant cOun-
ty poet, Will Dillman, in which
a mum Der Of his verses are repro
duced to better illustrate the
poets style, closes with the fol
lowing very complimentary
criticism of Mr.. Dillman's liter
ary work:
'He has not distinguished
himsel as coiner Of terse sen,
tences or epigrammatic phrases,
but in all his verses he has ex-
hibited in high degree fidelitJ
to nature and the true petic tenn
perment. Writing, like every
other artis impf owed by practice,
and Dillman has numerous cru
dities and imperfections to over
come. He however possesses
the genuine fire, and with a
continuance of that application
and industry which are his dis
tinguishing characteristics he
will achieve a fame which shall
be broader than the western
prairies he so devotedly loves. =

Consolidated April Il, 1896

the repu ublican candidate carried
every county in the district and
was elected by plurality of q
504. with exactly the same con
ditions to overcome as in 1896.
The republicans elected every
state senator in the district (6),
gain of four senators over 1896,
and elected sixteen members Of
the house gain Of six, making
a total republican representation
of twenty-five this year as
against twelve in 1896. In the
whole district the republicans
lost but three representatives,
the majorities ranging under
one hundred.
This result is very gratifying
to the repu ublican leaders. Yet
it will not be taken as conclusive
proof of that free coinage is a dead
issue. Democrats here are free
ly predicting that Bryan will be
their nominee in 1900. The
spokesman for the sound money
wing Of the party on the other
hand declare that they will con-
troll the organization in the next
election. In that event a bolt of
the silverites in the democratic
party is not improbable.
70 what extent the republican
managers will prepare for the
campaign of 1900 is not fully de-
cided. Senator Hanna has not
yet returned to Washington, and
Chairman Babcock, who is at the
head of the Congressional Com
mite has just elected a republi-
can majority to congress for the
third time, is now in Wisconsin
where he is candidate for the
senatorship, which becomes va
cant by the retirement of Sen
ator Mitchell. Leading republic
cans, from the president down,
are anxious to see Mr.. Babcock
sent to the senate, in order to
have the benefit Of his advice and
cooperation. He has opposition;
out the great service he has rem
dered the party in national af-
fairs is expected to tell SO strong
ly in his behalf that he will be
elected to supplement the fine
legal ability Of Senator Spooner
by his strong practical exper-
ience gained by six years of
active work at the head of the
Congressional Committee. As
soon as he returns to Washing
ton there will be a conference to
decide on the future movements
of the party.

SICKNESS IN PORTO RICO.
OmciAl Dispatch from Gen. Brooke In Re.

of His Command.

Washington, Sept. 27.-The follow

department:
Ponce, Sept. 25.-Adjutant General,
Washington-Cable regarding sick
ness and want of rations received.
That there are sick is fact. A small
proportion are bad cases, but there
has been no want of food. The last
report gives the total of sick 2,509, of
whom 400 are typhoid, 49s mafarial
fever and 297 diarhoea; other dis
eases 1874. Percentage, 23. Think re-
turn of regiments now here would not
be advisable, as others coming would
have to go through the same acclimat-
ing conditions. Would advise that cer-
tain sick be sent home whose recovery
would doubtless be quickened. If reg
iments are to be sent to take the place
of those now here, special attention
should be given to selecting those un-
der good discipline and having full
quota of officers. By this means, men
may be controlled and sanitary pre-
cautions enforced in the small detach-
ments which necessarily must be
made.
