A holding company, with a capital of * 100.000.000. was incorporated under the lawn of New Jersey to take over the stock of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific. Resolutions to retire the preferred stock of the Northern Pacific were passed, and it became known that the Great Northern and Northeri* Pacific companies would lease th,e Rurllnctou system to the new Tiorllncrton Railway Company, a concern whose board of directors wilt bo composed of an even number of representatives of either faction?HillMorznn nnd Harrimnn.

Stripncd of their technical character, those statements mean the first steps toward nftleial settlement of the Northern Pacific controversy, also an agreement on a plan anions: the hankers to put the securities in marketable shape, and. further, harmonious operation of all the railroads controlled by the two factions separately or jointlv. practically all the his railroads of the West.

It was the purchase of a majority of the slock n.' the Into? line ihat^ireclpitnted the Mav name. To the cuMder the settlement appeared more like a c6mprotRl.se. forced because each side was drawn unwittingly in'n a position where further control meant further loss. Wall Street took this latter view and the market for securities was not stimulated into active buoyancy. The eornor.it!ou which come ht'o existence at Trenton will be known as ibe Northern Securities Oomnnny. It Is the second larrest corporation ever formed! its can*!; 1 h-?*nsr f recoiled only by that of the l ulled States Stool fompnny. It was oresTjLaed iuid"- the laws of Vow .Tercoy'; nceause this is the only f'oniwonwealth under whose statu es the rmuunnV cnu'd ac'TP're toe nowoi-s which ir needed.

A special provision in the_ charter sets forth thaf the company may do iny acts or things dosicmed to protect, preserve, irnnrove or enhance the value of any bonds or other securities or evidence of indebtedness or stock of companies which It may acquire. The charter is uernetiml. and in order to guard ayainst undesirable publicity It provic.es that the directors shall determine from time to time where, when and how the books of the companv shall be onrnod to the inspection of the stockholders. The cnnltal stock of the oonipanv Is divided into 4/>OO.000 shares at S100 each, nil of which is to be common stock. The papers were filed by the law lino of Stetson, .Tonnlnes ?& Russell, of tills city, and the Incorporators mentioned in them arc floor ere F. Raker. .Ir.. of N?w Vork City; Richard Trimble, of New York City, and Abram M. VIvatt. t?f Allephurst. N. .1. While thp details of the plan for the acquisition of the Northern Pac'flc and Great Northern stock by the new company arc not set forth in the charter. some of the particulars were learned from the representatives of one of the Interests concerned in the settlement. According to this authority, it may be stated unreservedly that the basis oti which the stock of those two companies will be exchanged for tiic stock of the new company will be ISO for erciw share of Croat Northern ?toek and Hf? for every share of Northern Pacific stock. The exact amount UPPfUll - ? ?...... auvu mi sciianxe on inn basis above mentioned would bo Xt'KJ,ono.000, or 5.1,000.000 more than clinrtiT of the company provides for. But :ik the stork.of the now company may lio increased at any time, this excess is not material, especially ns some of tlie stock of the two railroad comnan lea will probably nev>r bo tnrnntl in. .

This stock was retired at a meeting |cf the Board of Directors of the Northern Pacific Railway. This meeting wn i only another step In the direction of the settlement which lias itow become permanent. There are at present $".".000,000 preferred stock and ?so,000,000 common stock of the Northern Pacific Railway outstanding. Under a resolution wldeh was adopted, so it was explained, the owners of the common stock alone would l>e permitted to subscribe for the new bonds. The owners of the preferred stock will recel* * the money raised by this subscript lout This would I mean flint the control of the Northern | Pacific rested with the Morpnn fneJ tlon. who own n majority of the comI mnn stock, were It not for the fact | that these entire holdings of common | stock arc to he taken over by the new | proprietary company, in which the various factions will have a joint interest. on a basis which all concerned declined to divulge, hut which, it is believed, will l>e a one-half interest for the Morgan-Hill faction and a onc-lialf luteins. ,\ r the Harrlmnn faction. The only other !?osiness transacted at the meeting of the hoard was the re-election of the present officers and ( i the Hoard of Directors with the cxeep ; mm ox noiicri naeon. who resigned. : I nn 1 In wliosc place Samuel Spencer ] was elected.
