The United States Attorney General
Brings suit Against the Northern Pm
cific and the Western Union.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, July GA bill ia
equity has been filed in the Unite /
States Circuit Court against the NORTH
ern Pacific Railroad Company, Western
Union Telegraph Company and the
Northwestern Telegraph Company, set
ting forth that the defendant corpo-
rators have failed to carry out the pro-
visions of the acts of Congress of July
2, 1864, and April 10, 1869, in which the
railroad company was granted valuable
concessions from the United States in
lands to the amount of twenty alter
nate sections through any State. One of
the provisions of the act was that the
railroads should erect and maintain a
telegraph system. Subsequently, the
Northern Pacific made contracts with
the Western Union Telegraph Company,
and the complaint alleges that the con-
tracts were beyond the powers of the
railroad to make or the telegraph COM
panies to receive, and were induced by
improper and corrupt consideration,
and were against public policy and il
violation of the rights of tho Unitet
States under acts of Congress. The
court is, therefore, asked to anIul tlrs
contracts. The complaint is signed b.

New York. July GA special to the
World from Wilmington, Del, says:
Ex-Secretary Bayard was seen at his
home by World representative, who
asked him to review the published cor
respondence of the Department of State

declined to do SO at this time, for the
reason that the published correspond

ter to form the basis of just criticism.
Il am pleased" said Mr.. Bayard,
ito see that the matter has
reverted to the condition in
which 1 left it on my retire ment
from the State Department. Mr.. Blaine
is entirely right when he says that
Lord Salisbury accepted and agreed to
the conditions proposed by the United
States. / am not disposed to criticize
my own Government in controversy
with foreign power. Even though r
may hold opinions differing from those
of the Administration, the fact that
was severely criticized does not furnish
me with a rule of action in such mat.
ters." In concluding the conversation
the ex-Secretary said; II heartily wish
my countrymen well out of the serious
difficulty in which the matter is in.
