Hoar's Stanford Resolution summar-
lily Disposed Of.

Washington, June S.-Hoar'S resolution
to set at rest the claim of the government
on the estate of the late Leland Stanford
was laid before the Senate at the opening
of the Senate today.
Mr. Teller suggested that the resolution
be modified to confine the inquiry simply
to the ACCESSIBILITY of releasing the Stan
ford estate without touching the validity
of the claim, in order not to affect other
claims which the government might have.
Mr. Hoar agreed to modify the resolu-
ton in accordance with the suggestion.
Mr. Teller recounted a conversation he
had had with Stanford shortly before his
death, in which he expressed his inten-
ton to transfer as rapidly as possible
the title of that portion of his estate
which he intended TO dedicate to the Lee
land Stanford jr. university.
Mr. White, California, said the suit
brought by the United States against the
estate of the late senator was instituted
to prevent the distribution of the estate
before the debt owing the government
from the Central Pacific, of which Stan
ford was an original stakeholder, fell due.
There had been no dereliction on the part
of the attorney-general. The suit could
not have been instituted before Stanfords
death under the statutes of California I'M
der which the corporation was organized.
