TOOLS OF COILS.
They VIII Not Push the
..~ Big Claim
AGAINST MRS. STANFORD.
Olney's Note to Senator Hoar
Creates Trouble,
AND MAY CAUSE AN INQUIRY.
Reilly, the Author of the Funding
=. Scheme, Is Also Friendly to
Huntington.

. WASHINGTON, June 9.-The Democrats
of the California delegation, naturally
enough. do not like to admit that At
torney-Geueral Oney was only bufing
and never intended to push the claim
against the Stanford estate. but it is true,
Nevertheless. Olney does not believe that
that method of procedure Will be success
fnl, and has so Intimated to Senator HoaT,
as telegraphed The CALL last night.
Senator HOar was asked to-day whether
lie had received such a letter from Olney.
The Massachusetts, Senator was veXed be-
cause his letter from the Attorney General
lad been given publicity. II do not see
why letters of this kind cannot be kept
private. That was a private note to me.
The one person to whom l showed il
should not have said anything about it.
but it is something l do not care to dis
cuss" Inasmuch as Olney has all along
been considered a regular corporation
lawyer, and since he proposed bill ex-
tending the debts tor 100 years, it was
surprise to every one when he filed claim
against the Stanford estate. OlneY is IA
vorable to the Pacific roads. and Califor-
mans are right in believing that Reilly's
bin is an administration measure.
% Hayemeyer, the sugar king, was, ae-
cording to general belief. given protection
on the refined product of the sugar trust
for having contributed generously to the
Democratic campaign fund. Carlisle had
: the trust taken care of. Californans
are now inQuiring whether it is not pos
sible that Olney is now performing the
same Office for Huntington and for a simi-
e. lar reason.
The California Democrats dislike to be-
Tieve that Olney is not disposed to push
The claim; but it is a fact. and Senator
Hoar admits it.
> Chairman Reilly said to THE CALL cor
respondent tonight that his committee
was al at sea. He professed TO have no
>Kn 0wledge whatever of the disposition of
the committee concerning his bill or any
other. Reilly said be objected to fore
closure. because lie did not believe the
'(TQEsr0ment should 90 into the railroad
Du%l less. Such railroads as the Govern
meG controlled would only be used as po-
litica! machines. When asked what he
thought Of Huntington's scheme to bor-
rcw money on the Governments credit
Reilly eQulvocated. The truth is he is
Huniingtoa's tool Lately he has taken
: up his residence at the Normandie, an
arIstocratic hotel, where he always has a
:. suite Of rooms reserved.
=. Representative Mcguire is now even
: more hopeful than ever that the bill may
be beaten in the committee, and is pretty
sure TO be in the House. At present the
committee members seem to be: For fund
.fng-Reilly, Blair.,Weadock, Powers, Ca
ruth, Smith and Cooper, and those against,
Boatner. Harris. Snodgrass, BeH of Texas,
. Kyle and lockwood. Hepburn and Hen
. dirk are doubtful. If they vote agtiast
fueding the bill it win be beaten IN tue
COMMITTEE. At any rate there is sure to
. be a strong minority report and an earnest
opposition in the House. Bailey OF Texas
;: will fight the bill, and he is an effective
:: speaker and a young man of influence
,*MaguLre is hard at work with committee
tIembers. Re is quite sure the bill Will
mot pass the House. Mcguire does not
like to believe that Olney has written Hoal
=: the note referred to, but if Senator HoaI
Is willing TO produce the Olney letter Ma
-guFre may make it the basis for Legislative
