In mrs. STANFORD'S FAVOR
Decision of the Circuit Court of Ap-
peals Against the Government.
teen-MiIlion-D Dollar Case to the
United States Supreme Court.

San Francisco, Oct. 12.-Judges Nor
row, Hawley and Gilbert. in the United
States circuit court of appeals, handed
down their decision this morning in the
case of the government against the estate
of the late Senator Stanford TO recover
about 81 b 5,000,vUO.
The decision was read by Judge Gilbert
and sustaius Judge Ross, who decided the
case in favor of Mrs. Stanford.
Attorney Nick issick, representing the
government, says he will appeal tue case
to the United States Supreme Court.
This suit was brought by order of At
torney General Omey about year ago in
the United States court for the southern
district of California. 1t was the culmina-
tiOn or repeated efforts that had been made
in Congress during previous years To
collect the Indebtedness due to the Gov-
ernment from the Southern Pacific rail
way, OF which the late Senator stanford
had been president, and was based upon
the state statute governing the Liabilities
OF stockholders in corporations Tor tleir
debts.
One effect of the suit was seriously to
emDarrdSs the Affairs OF the Leland stan
ford, Jr., University, which Mr.. STANFORD
had erected At his own expense aud iberlily
endowed. SO much was this the case that
no arrangements had been made Tor eN-
President Harrison TO continue this year
the course os lectures On International law
begun by him last year.
IL was reported some months ago, and
the report was apparently well founded,
that Mrs. Stanford purposed selling her
Jewels. which were valued at more than
million dollars, in order To secure The money
necessary to maintain the university. That
she did not make this sacrifice is regarded
here as an Indication OF her belieT that the
suit would ultimately end in her tavor.
next to nothing.
In Washington, where Mrs Stanford is
widely known, no less for her success as
a social leader than Tor ner large public and
private charities, the decision OF the court
was read with great pleasure This salts
faction is greatly accentuated by the sDowl-
edge that the vast property which she con
trols through her husbands death viii be
largely used for the advancement of educa-
lion and the elevation and assistance of
Suffering, humanity.
For the defense of the case before the
Supreme Court of the United States, to
which tribunal the governments attorney
has announced his intention to appeal,
Mrs. STANFORD has retained Mr.. Joseph II.
Choate TO assist the attorneys who have
conducted tine case in the courts below.
