CHANGES IN PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD Of
FICERs RESULTING FROM FRANK
THOMsON's DEATH

Philadelphia. June Tt was learned to-day
that when the directors of the Pennsylvania
Railroad fill the office made vacant by the death
OF President Frank Thomson they will make no
departure from the time -honored custom OF ad-
vancng the next in rank of the executive OFF,
GERS of the company. The logical sequence or
thus following established precedents will be the
election OF the first vicepresident, John p Green
to the presidency. and from the same source OF
information II is learned that Mr.. Green Will ac-
cept the place Mr.. Green's elevation VIII cause
a moving up OF the other vice-presdents. Inc
second vice-p president, Charles E. Pugh, Will De
made first vice-president. and the third VICE
president, S. NJ. Provost. will be made second
vice president. This will leave a vacancy In the
third ce-presidency. and to fill this place, IL Is
said the line of succession will be broken and
Samuel Rea first assistant to the president, VIII
be chosen Heretofore the general manager has
always been elevated to the third vice-presi-
dency.
No official action has yet been taken by the
Board of Directors, and It Is not probable that
the Board will act until it meets in regular ses
sion next Wednesday although a special meet
ing may be called TO fll the vacancy on FRIDAY
or Saturday of this week. L,,
Mr. Green is we'll fitted for the presidency
having been closely associated with the iasl
three presidents of the company FOR hi'eeh
wears he has attended to the finances ana ac

London, Dec. 20.-The government
has at last consented to mobilize the
force which General Butler is credited
with having demanded all along as es-
sential to success in south Africa,
naemly 10000 mounted infantry. Tues
day morning the war office issued an
order to the effect that the govern
ment has decided to raise for south
Africa a mounted infantry force to be
called the imperial yeomanry," to be
recruited from the yeOmanry vOlun-
teers and civilians possessing the re-
quisite qualifications. The same or
der invites every volunteer regiment
linked with regular battalion serving
at the front to supply the full company
which will take the place of the
mounted infantry. These arrange
monts are expected to result in a con-
siderable force. The enrolled strength
of the yeomanry forces, which originat-
ed in a troublous period of the French
revolution, is now Il, 433. Their services
have never before been called for in
war. The lord mayor of London, AL
fred Newton, is raising and equipping
a force of good volunteers among the
city corps, the large city firm contrib
uting the necessary expenses. Spe-
cial reports regarding the fighting at
Tugela river are still filtering through,
but all newspapers complain that these
are severely censored. 1t is still i'm
possible get an accurate idea of the
battle. From latest accounts, how
ever, it appears Gen. Butler, was in
personal command Much anxiety is
caused by the fact that the war office
has not yet received the full list of
casualties at Tugela river The Stand
ard hints editorially that if Portugal
continues to allow supplies of war ma
terial and foreign volunteers to reach
