WASHINGTON, June s.-Hoar's resolu-
tion to set at rest the claim of the govern
ment against the estate Of the late Leland
Stanford was laid before the senate at
the opening session to-day.
Teller suggested that the resolution be
modified to conhne the inquiry simply to
the advisability Of releasing the Stanford
estate without touching the validity OF the
claim, IN order not TO affect other claims
which the government might have.
Hoar agreed to modify the resolution in
accordance with the suggestion.
Teller recounted q conversation he had
had with Stanford shortly before his
death, in which he expressed his inten-
tion to transfer as rapidly as possible that
portion Of the estate which he intended TO
dedicate TO the Leland Stanford, jr., uni
versity.
White Of California said the suit brought
by the United States against the estate of
the lato senator was instituted to prevent
the distribution OF the estate before the
debt owing the government from the Gen.

original stakeholder, fell due. There had
been no derelictlon on the part OF the at
torney general. The suit could not have
been brought before Stanford's death un-
