The Wizard's 8on.Digoourses on the Policy of the Nety Administration, STANDARD OIL. AND THE NORTHERN PACIFIC The Wizard Interests Threatened by the Rockefellers—An Ymportant Meeting of Western Roads, New Yonk, Nov, 90,—[Special Tk Ber.) anuouncern again acqu egram to The World says the authoritative nt {s made that Jay Gould has 1 control of the Union Pacific railroad. The Union Pacific is vitally neces- sary to the successful oporation of Me, Gould's southwostern railway system. The Missouri Pacific and its subsidiary lines were constracted with a view to the most ad- vantageous interchange of business with the | Union Pacific. When Mr. Gould relin- | quished control of the latter road four or five | years ago, his southwestern system out off from many trafic benefits, Charles Francis Adams succeeded Sidney Dillon as president of the Union Pacific, and on taking possession of his oftice set out to establish the roud 88 an independent line. The present plan is to reiustate Sidney Dillon as pi dent of the compan) General G. Dodge, it is understood, will be made vi president. He is now in Buropo but will re- turn soon. In order to bring the Atchison into har- mony with the Union Pacific, Mr. Gouid has taken a large stock interest in the company. In addition, the Rockefellers, who have con- trol of the Missouri, Kansus & Texas, will bring it into line with the other roads, When questioned concerning the Gould p.»;i;~y in railroad matters, George Gould said ¢ I don’t know that wo have any other pol- icy than to protect our own property and to endeavor to have the railroad business of the country put on a paying basis. The time has come when railroad’ management should be held to a stricter accountability. The stock- holders have a rightto expecta return on their investment, and not only do they suffer when the railroads do business at less than paving rates, but business generally suffers. The policy of rate cutting and ruinolis compe- that has prevailed among west- railroads would not be tol- crated in mercantile business, The werchant who follows it would speedily fail and have to stop business.” Mr. Gould thought there ought to be ageneral arrangement among the western railroads to do business on a paying basis and, if need be, too, there should be a central supervisory or governing power to hold the several roads to their agreement. He'said that Mr. J, Pierre- vont Morgan still had under advisement a re- quest to call together the men who control the western railroads for o general confer- enc M. tition er ling to Resign. dent Adams of the Union Pa sident Hughitt of the Northwestern have been in this city since Tuesday, and it {s said some important dovelopments will 'soon occur.

Cricaao, Nov. 20,—[Special Telegram to Tne Bee.]—A statement that the Rockefeller interests and | theirs associates, generally known as the Standard Oil party, had in- creased their holdings of Northern Pacific preferred by 100,000 shaves, has caused much discussion in regardito Villavd's interest in the ‘propertios, The capital stock of the Northern Pacific company amounts to $36,- 143,103 or 861,431 shares. Of this the North American company “held 210,151 shares of common stock and 127,440 shaves of the pre ferred stock. These holdings, with the large block of stock held by C. B. ht of Phila- delphia, controlled the property, and as Vi lard generally voted on the North American as it was in other years, the Oregon T continental proxies and a large amount of proxies from German holders, he was the most powerful factor at the annual elections. It has been stated, however, that Villard was aided 1n obtaining control of the Oregon Transcontinental company by the Standard Oil party, and that, Colzate Hoyt reresented the Rockefeller interests in both the ern racific and North Ameri At the elections of the Northern Pacific for two years preceding the one just held Villard was promiuent in all the arrangements. He gave early information in regard to the ticket 10 bovoted by thosein control and showed his interest in many other ways. He was absent in Europe on October 16 when the last meeting was held and no intercst was shown in the affuirs of the company by his representative here. C. = E Wright was then tho ruling spirit and was apparently in _controlVillard was re-elected a director and so were all the members of the board who had been working in harmony with him, What is more impor- tant is that the board of directors then elected serve for three years, the term hav- ing peen extended to that period at a meeting held on June 19. This leaves the present board in control until October 16, 1563, None of the Rockefellers could be seen today in regatd to tho voported purchase of over one hundred thousand shares of North- orn Pacifio proferred, —Dresident Oulics said: “I confidently believe that the Rock- crfellers and their associates have lately added largely to their holdings of stocks and bonds of the Northern Pacific company.”. He stated positively that there was no truth in the report that Villard would retire or bo forced out of the company. Other pasties identitied with both interests say that the 127,000 shares of pre- ferred swck held by the North American company were bhypothocated 1o secure loaus, were sold by the creditors and thon bought in by the Rockfellers, As the Rockfel are said to have been heavily interested in North American, the coutrol caunot be saia to have changed hands. The ofticers of the North American company admitted that some of its securities ~have been sold, but they decline to state how many have been thrown over or what they cou- sisted of, These is a possibility that the Rockefellers may haye become hostile to Vil- Lurd on account of fécent developments in the market, but they arg’ the only ones who can speak in that matter Imd they refuse to be in- terviewed. The regular mnhtm‘y meeting of the North- ern Pacific was’ hold today, but nothing transpired to indicytaany change.
