complete the work yesterday by the ad-
dition of the date:
JUNE 81, 1893.
David Starr Jordan, president of the
! university, was interviewed on his arrival.
He said lie was half way up Mount Shasta
when an Indian rode up with Il dsDaJ oh
announcing the sad news. He had at once
returned.
! Speaking of the late Senator, in connec-
ton with his university, President Jordan
! told for the first time an incident which
! had partly led him to accept the presi-
! dency.
1T was shortly after his sons death"
/ said DR.. Jordan. that Senator Stanford
told me thought came to him. He said
/ 1t was one night. He had been turnin ne
over the educational ideas that he had
! contemplated for his son, who was lost,
and he suddenly determined, The chill
/ dren of California shall be my children.
| was struck with the expression, and
when We came to issuing the catalogues.
etc, suggested that it be inscribed on the
covers. But he would not have 1t by any
means. He said he thought it would look
too much like assuming a relation toward
others which had not been invited"
DR.. Jordan had no reason to believe
otherwise than that Mrs. Stanford would
continue the conduct of the university on
the same principles as had been laid down
by her husband. There would be no dis.
turbance of existing arrangements.
A gentleman who eOnverSed with Archi-
tect Coolidge after the latter had sat up to
o'clock one morning with the Senator over
]
yesterday, which seems to prove that Mr..
Stanford's financial intentions as regard
the university have been underestimate.
He says the deceased told him that he
inquired the total value of the present en-.
dOwment al $4,000, 600 if it were not
that it soon would be so by natural accre-
tons. and that when he died he intended
endowing il with 500 GOO, coo more. which
would enable the trustees to carry out bis
plans.
1t was stated bv a gentleman who said
/ he knew the names Of tine executors to the
will, that there were more than were gem
orally supposed. He limited that s. T.
Gage and Herbert Nash might be found o
have been named, while it was not i'm
possible that D. o. Mills was one OF those
requested TO serve.
Stephen T. Gage recalled certain charse-
teTistics of the deceased Senator. He said
he would take him problem. and the Sena-
tor would listen to the end and then talk Of
horseracing or some indifferent subject,
leaving him in despair. A week or two
atterward he would refer TO the problem
and present clean-eut solution, shown
that he had been solving it.
Ex-senator Charles n. FELTON, spoke
feengly of the loss which he personally,
as we'll as the country, had sustained by
Senator Stanf0rd's death. His attitude in
the Senate had been dignfed and COM
manded ga eral respect. Mr.. FELTON, drove
over to see him al Menlo a week ago and
spent an hour with him. He found him
enthusiastic over his proposed hill and
trusted that he would live 10 see it law.
He was convinced of it praeticability and
usefulness.
The ex-senator declined to discuss the
question of the vacant senatorship, saying
simply that he was not an applicant fnr
the position ana had no statement to make.
He thought the S ate and country had lost
noble man in Senator Stanford.
