WASHINGTON, June 8--Hoar's resolu'
ton to set at rest the claim OF the gov
eminent against the estate OF the late
Leland Stanford was laid before the
senate at the opening session today.
Teller suggested that the resolution be
modified to confine the inquiry simply
to the advisability of releasing the Stan
ford estate without touching upon the
validity Of the claim, in order not to
affect other claims which the govern
ment might have. Hoar agreed to mod
iiy his resolution In accordance with the
suggestion.
Teller recounted the conversation he
had with stanford shortly before his
death, in which he expressed the inten-
ton to transfe. as rapidly SO possible his
title to that portion Of the estate which
he INTENDED to dedicate to the Leland
Stanford Jr. university. :.

brought by the United States against the
estate of the late senator was instituted
to prevent O distribution of the estate
before the debt owing to the government
from the Central Pacific, of which Stan
ford was an original stakeholder, fell

the part OF the attorney-general. The
suit could not have been instituted be-
fore Standards death under the statutes
of California, under which the corpora
