CLAIM T BONDS ARE VOID,

Northern Pac: 40 Had No Authority "a
Issue Csr,An Mortgages.
MILWAUKEE, March 4 The biggest
sensation that has yet developed in the
Northern Pacific receivership was pre-.
cipitated by the filing Of the pleas by
the Wisconsin Central Railroad com.
pany to the original, amended and sup
elemental bills Of the Farmers Loan
and Trust company, on which the re.
ownership is based. . The companies
make the claim that the Northern Pa.
cific company had no authority
whatever to issue any of the numerous
mortgages with which the road is en-.
numbered and that in consequence, all
of the bonds issued under the mort.
cages to the amout of nearly $50, 000, 000
are null and void. ,.~s,,-..
: 1t is olaimnd that the Northern Pa.
cific was prohibited by congress from
making or executing mortgages on its
properties, unless on the express con.
sent of congress. This, it is claimed,
the company has never secured, except
in one instance, and in that the lien
created was long since satisfied.

fixed by kthe amendment range from
*, 1000 to 5000. The amendment was

stopping the pernicious padding of the
business of the federal courts. The de-
bate will be continued under thet5-

tho House OF Commons.
LONDON, March An the house Of
commons Mr.. samuel. Smith, Liberal
member for Flintshire, offered a reso-
luton Of sympathy with the Ar

race in Europe and America. The gov.
