OE THE REsIDUE STOCK.

Referring to his suit Mr.. Willard said yes
terday that he was acting In bena Of than one
third or all the legally Issued stock. He claimed that
the recent issue was illegal and that the
directors therefore personally responsible for
the whole amount lie had brought the suit on tho
advice OF able counsel, including Charles F. SOutbmayd
who had expressed their belief that the recent issue had
been Illegally made. Mr.. Willard said that about two
weeks ago he had proposed President Billings 10 coop
crate with him in the control OF the company or to buy
his stock for cash. Mr.. Willard claimed to hold
at that time $27,000,000 of Northern Pacific
stock which, with the ss 100000 held bv President
Billings would have given him an absolute majority OF
the outstanding stock After delDerating a few days
Mr. Billings declined the proposal, although the price
offered was admitted 10 be satisfactory.

the eompany had objects view In the Issue OF the

1t he wrote TO President Billings somo sug'
eestions IN regard 20 the harmonious pol
lev OF management which he believed the

ton Companies ought TO pursue When asked II the
