HAT the defects OF the LA Toilette shipping

mittcd. but il must be admitted also that
to make an excellent rejoinder 10 the contcn-
uon of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company

ton OF the measure and without sacrifice OF
profits. II has not paid a dividend since

However that may be. the fact is that

after the negotiations for the sale OF the

the sale OF the steamships was at a price

resented a line stroke Of business Sagacity
One may well believe that the effect of that
clause OF the LA Toilette bill which requires
the members OF a vessels crew to understand
all orders given by their officers will be 10
