TO INFLUENCE PROXIES.

MT. Abbott Says That the Charge,
 Against the Northern Pacific is
 All Bosh and the Work of Brayton
 Ives.
 BOSTON, Aug. 1s.-The story of the sensational suit in Philadelphia agains' four directors of the Northern Pacific fol malfeasance in cff1ce was shown to day to one of them, MT. Edwin H. Abbott.
 "This is all rot" said MT. Abbott em. phatically, when he read the story. "It if merely an attempt to influence proxies al the coming election. The whole thing was threshed over last winter"
 MT. Abbott said this was all the work of Brayton Ives, and that his charges were all completely answered eight months ago. AS to the charge that the directors bought for the Northern Pacific property in which they were personally in- terested MT. Abbott said that when the Wisconsin Central lines with which he is connected were leased he was not mem- Der of the Northern Pacific board and did not become so for some months afterwsrd When he did go in, 1t was for the reason that an interest representing about 1000 miles of road ought to have some one in the board to look after It's interests.
 3'Mr. Ives' charges are groundless, and have been so adjudicated in the United States circuit court by the Hon. Walter o. Gresham, then United States judge, and his only object is to influence proxies."
