New Yonx, March 2.—Tho press of Now York hasat lust found out that there {8 some- thing tho matter with tho Northern Pacitlo maunugement. After tho publication of tho fact of the purchasy of §25.000,000 stock by Mr, Henry Villard (n T Curcado TwnuNe, and the statement, bused on reeent oceurrences, 1bint the Oregon Ruilway & Navigation Compuuy, of which Villard s President, had virtn- ally sceured control of the road, and would unquestionnbly bounce the present Northorn Puelfic oificers at thy next annual meoting, they endenvored to {gnore tho situation by treating it with silence, or clse lixhtly touching upon the report a8 an improbabllity that needed no fur- ther comment. Tne T'tinune, howover, had -taken the wind from their sails in n matter that fay right under thoir noses, and they hadn't tho enterprire to find out, und consequently tho story of the * provinein! press'” wus clther SNEERED AT AS SENSATIONATL or unceremouiously snuffed out, beenuse to notlee It they must take it second-hand, The reports of tho nctlonof the Villard syndicate bnd ghe effvet to materintly strongthen the stocks of the Northern Pncifle, for it was generally understod that tho Villard syndl- cnto ntended to develop tho road. Somo quesationed thotruth of tho syndieate’s claim as v it baviog sceured control of tho Northorn Pacitic, and thero were predictions of n proba- ble fight by the present managoment, led by President Frederick Biliings, for a continuanco of power, There i3 not tho slightest question Lut that the Vitlard syndicato, nd stated in Tuk TnusE olspatches ten days ago, sceured con- trol of $25,000,000 of the $75,000,000 of stock, Mr. Dlllings, tho President of tho Northarn Paclfic Company, befng loft with $0,000,000. IN ACCORDANCE WITII TIE TERMS OF RE- OROANIZATION, the capltal stock of tho rond wns placed at $100,000,000, Zalvided Into £i1,000,000 of pre- ferred stock and £40,000,000 of common. All the preferred atock was fssnad, and about $0,000,000 of it cancelied by exchunge at par for the Con- pany's lnnds, Of tho $10,000000 of com- mon stock £31.000,000 was put afloat, and tho remuining $18,000,000 has laln unissued in the trensury. It s this §18,000,000 which has now been lssued and placed upon tho market, depressing prices, Tho manner in which this stock wns fssued was rathor strange, having bLeen nccomplished by authorization of tho Executivo Coinmitteo of tho Bonrd ot Directors, instead of by the full Board, Whntover mny bo mid fn justification of the distribution jtsclf, it connot bLe donled that the man- ner of moking it 18 open to critiolsm, Tt wns au important watter in the af- fairsof tha Company, and should huve boen de- lverately constdered by all Interested, instond of being sprunge ko a trap upon not only tha publie, but those fairly entitled to know cvory- thing nbout the management of tho Company. WALL STREET was, of course, cansiderably excited aver the distribution, nnd somo operators saw fu it tho first wove of the Billings party agninst the Vit- lord pool. Mr. Bamucl Wilkeson, Sccrotary of tho Northorn Pacitie Itallrond, in epenking to- night upan this point, snid: “This issuo of the 180,000 shnres of common atock’ waa mado Veeause ft could mnot bo avolded.

The stock was lssucd In answer to those clamoriug stockholders, who numbor 400 or miore, and aro contralled by no pool.” “Ilns President Billings or hla friends beon buying theso nowly-lssued shores?” asked tho reporter, “ [ can glve no Inforination as to who has pur~ chbnsed,” roplicd Mr. Wilkosun. * Do you believe the Villard syndlcato have ho controlling Interest In the Northern Paclfic, and will tho preaent manugomont bo deposed ot tho next meotivg of the stockholders?” “I canonly say that when tho stockholders find othors who will manage tho road botter ban at present, it (s thoir duty to oloct thom." Mit HENRY VILLARD bas been in Boston for the pust fow days, and Wit not veturn till Friday, Ho s believed to bo hore 1n connection with Willlum Endicott, Jr, and othor New England capitalista heavily fnterested In tho Viliard syndicate. An oflicial of the Oregon Rullway & Navigation Compnny averred to-night that thore waa no reason ta fear uny dangor to the futercats of tho Viltrd pool, * Low prices favor us,” ho sald, “and we only have to buy half of tho jssue to contluue fu our provious pesition.” AT THE OFFICEN, To the Western Assoclated Press, New Yonuk, March 24—0On fnquiry to-day at tho oflico of tho Northern ucitio Hallway Com- buny, it was learaud that tho persons ontitied to Teceivo the nowly-fssued stock numbered trom 300 to 700, und thut tho stock was pretty well dis- tributed wmong them, It wos ulso sald that hothing wus known by the manugement of the Cotmpany us to the amount of stock sccured by tho Villard pool. A gentleman connacted witt tho Company sald the proposition to dis- tributo the rosidue of the cammon stock had ropeatedly been discussed in tho Board of Direotors, and that the mattor was lglx unfinished in tho bands of tho Executive Committes. Tho luttor body, under the by-laws, bud all tho powors of tho Directory, which would Prouptly ratify tho uct of tho Committeo ut tho text ineeting. ‘Tho only reason for tho distrls butlon of thestook was the clamor ralsed by thoowners, who could not, in justice, bo kept outof Its posscssion in the presont state of the Stack market.
