ST. PAUL. July "a bill in equity has been
filed In the United States circuit court against
the Northern Pacific Railway Company, the
Western Union Telegraph Company and the
Northwestern Telegraph Company, setting forth
that the defendant corporations hare failed to
carry out the provisions OF the acts Of congress
of July 2, 1864. and of April 10. 1869, in which
the railroad company was granted valuable cons
cessions from the United States in land TO the
amount of twenty alternate sections through
any state One Of the provisions of the act was
that the railroad should erect and maintain Q
telegraph system. subsequently the Northern
Pacific made contracts with the Western Union
Company, and the complaint alleges that said
contracts were beyond the powers of the defenc-
ant railroad TO make or defendant or telegraph
companies TO receive, and were induced by In
proper and corrupt considerations, and were
against public policy and In violation Of the
rights of the United States under the acts OF
congress. The court is therefore asked to annul
the contracts, and such other redress as may be-
just and p roper is also demanded. The COM
plant is signed by Attorney General Miller
The object of the complaint is shown in the
following extract therefrom:
ITO this end, therefore, the defendants may.
If they can, show why your orator should NOS
have the relief hereby prayed for. The matters
herein alleged may be determined and the laws

and Western Union Telegraph Companies may
be set aside. annulled and cancelled, and that
this court may direct said Northern Pacific
company henceforth to maintain and operate
without favor or discrimination against any
person or company. telegraph lines along
their entire main line and branches
for railroads, governmental and all other
purposes; to exercise By itself alone MI the tele-
graph franchises conferred upon It and the OBJ
legations assumed by 1t under the grants aforc-
said, and TO receive, deliver and exchange
all the lines now or hereafter connecting with
the lines OF said railroad on equal. just and
equitable terms: and that the rights OF your
petitioner, said defendants and all other persons
and corporations whatever claiming any con-
troll or interest In telegraph lines or property
along said Northern Pacific rail- way or exclusive
rights of way upon said railway be legally axcers
tanned and finally adjudicsted."
