A CLAIM FOR MILLIONS.
The Stanford Estate Held to he Liable
for Central Pacific Debts.

Representative Mcclure Of California
vouches for the statement that Attorney
General Olney has filed, in behalf of the
United States. a claim against the estate
of the late Senator Stanford for the sum of
$15.OOO,0OO. The claim will be presented to
Mrs. Stanford, who is executrix of the es-
tate. Mrs. Stanford Is not In this city.
but Is believed to be either in San Fran
cisco or at Menlo Park. 1t cannot be said
what action she will take in the matter,
but 1t Is believed that she will reject it.
The claim is the proportionate share Of
debt of the Central Pacific railroad, which
the Department of Justice estimates that
that estate owes the United States, upon
the theory that personal assets of indi-
vtdual members of the original Central Pa
cfhc syndicate are liable for the debt Of
that corporation, now due or which will be-
come due the government. II Mrs. Stan
ford rejects the claim the Department of
Justice will have to decide what further
steps will be taken.
1t Is understood that the claim was filed
under California statutes, so that the stat
ute of limitation may not prevail against
1t. The claim is filed now in order to pro-
tect every possible interest that the United
States may have in the Stanford estate
through the affairs Of the Central Pacific
road.
