Hnnrr Willard Criticised.

NEw York, Sept 2O.-At the regular meet
ing Of the Northern Pacific railroad directors
there was some criticism Of Henry Wizards
action in publishing request for proxies
and defining the objects TO which the funds
to be raised by the proposed siBO,0O0,0 ,0OO
mortgage are to be applied Mr. Willard
disclaimed any disrespect for the board and
said he would withdraw the publication
The directors then adopted an official request
for proxies and a detailed statement Of the
purposes Of the new bonds These diffcr con
siderably from those named by Mr.. Willard
For instance, only Sl0,0O0,0OO is allowed for
premiums on bonds, and the amount set aside
for dividends on preferred stock is left open
for the consideration of a special committee
II is, in fact, an open question whether the
preferred stockholders will get anything
The directors said after adjournment that II
would require complete unity in the board
to obtain the required three-fourths vote Of
the preferred stockholders in favor Of the
new mortgage
