THE 5. P. PRESIDENCY.
So Fur No One Can Tell Who Will Succeed
Mr.. Huntington.
THE MATTER IS OF IMPORTANCE TO TEXAS
III. e. Huntington a Friend OF The
Lone Star statc--Thomns of the
Erie Is Mentioned.

The successor of the late G. P Hunting
ton has not yet been named, nor can any
one tell who will fill the position of presi-
dent of the Southern Pacific. There is
sentiment as we'll as business mixed IN in
the matter and many railway men would
like to see the presidency go to II. e.
Huntington in order to perpetuate the
presidency OF the Southern Pacific means
a great deal. MIR. II. E. Huntington is a
firm believer in the future OF Texas, and
should he succeed his uncle he would Ger
tainly do all in his power to build up the
State. Others might do so. but it is known
beyond doubt that Mr. Huntington is will
ing to push work in Texas. The New York
Commercial says:
There is no assurance based upon infor-
nation from official sources that justifies
the prevalent expectation OF new presi-
dent being selected for the Southern Pa
| cifc at the coming meeting of the d.
rectors. On the contrary. there is greater
reason to believe that there is net the
slightest possibility of an immediate set
Element OF this very interesting question,
| 1t is learned from an entireiy reliable
| source that the committee appointed t
make recommendations upon the subject
have not yet been able TO reach any con
cluson, and Chairman Tweed does not
hesitate in saying that all stories in cir
culation and published UP TO this time are
absolutely guesswork. The matter is still
being considered. with no certainty that
an agreement viii be speedily reached
| There seems 10 be a strong impression in
some quarters that President TIL mas Of
the Erie has been or will be asked TO &C.
cent the office but the committee are
keeping their counsel so well that no one
can safely say whether this Is true or not
1t has also been intimated that the
Craftsmanship ot the board is to be giver
some man skilled In finances, but thi'
would seem a singular proceeding In thu
face OF the recent election OF Vice Presi
dent Tweed to that important position.
In speaking OF the presidency yester
day, a gentleman who was as close. II no
closer, to the late q. p. Huntington thai
any other man In the company said;
SIT Is no small task nor an easy matte
that has been assumed by the Commute
appointed 10 recommend a successor Z
Mr.. Huntington. 1t is necessary that
broad gauge man, diplomat and one WI
has splendid tact should occupy the office
IT. Is also very important that he shout
know the people of California, and how t
handle them, for they are peculiar, and
the president will have his headquarter
on the coast. he will be called upon t
) maintain relations that no other railroa
president has. These are only few
, the essentials involved in the choice
a president, but they have great weight

severely, 1t is understood, during the great
storm Of last month. but the expense OF
repairing the damages which then occurred
Will not appear until the report is rem
dered next year
The receiver In transmitting the report
and in explanation OF doing so, mentions
the utter destruction OF his office during
the September storm and the loss for a
while of their books, but the report TO
the commission, and a few other records
were fortunately recovered. The freight
tonnage OF this road has not fallen OF
despite their hard luck otherwise.
Freight originating on the road In
creased sol tons for the year, and thai
received from connecting lines increas d
1858 tons. The most serious loss of rev.
enue was in receipts from passengers.
