A RAILROAD QUARREL.

Washington, June ia circu-
lar has just been issued from New
York which is creating consider
able sensation in Northern Pacific
circles. The old title was the
Northern Pacific Railroad Co.,
and now the word 'railroad," is
changed to railway and the
charter for the latter was issued
in Wisconsin in 1896. The origi.
nal company had grant of 49,.
600, 900 acres Of land for the pur.
pose of aiding in its construction,
and its charter prescribed that. no
mortgage or construction bonds
should be issued without the con.
sent of congress. Since the first
failure of the original company in
1876 is is claimed that the consent
OF congress has not been obtained
in any way, and especially in the
recent reorganization and the
placing CT new bonds on the road,
when the United States was not
made q party to the suit, and
therefore is not bound by the de.
cree. Owners Of preferred and
common stock IN the old Northern
Pacific Railroad Co. are now in.
vited to join in a movement to
contest the validity of the second
and third mortgage bond issues,
as also the plan Of reorganization
under them; to demand at least a
portion of the 100000 acres
land grant, and to also endeavor
to have the charter of the new
company forfeited. Congress will
be asked to take a hand in this
matter.
