The Stanford sulL.

WAsHINGTON, Dec. 27-His attention
having been called to publications stating
that the department Of justice had no con-
idenoe in its big suit against the estate Of
the late Senator Stanford, Attorney Con
eral Harmon said that he had examined
carefully the questions involved, and in
the light of the adverse decisions of the
lower court and so far from being dsoour-
aged, he expected to establish the claim
against the Stanford estate by securing a
favorable decision from the supreme court
Of the United States. II tho government
won that suit he added, it would be used
as q precedent 20 establish the rights Of
tho government against Mr.. Huntington

GOLD OFFERED BY RUSSIA.
sLe Stands Ready to Lend the United statos
800. .OOO. 900.

s4O0. 1000, 900.
WASHINGTON, Dec. go --Groat interest
IN official circles here has been excited by
the publication In The Post Of a state
mont to tho effect that the Russian gov
ernment has offered TO lend the United
States any amount Of gold up to S40O, OOO
0O0-ono half of its total possessions OF
this specie-in order TO maintain its credit
against assaults from the great money
powers Of other European nations, and
that, learning Of this tender, tho Roths-
childs, through Messrs. Belmont and
Morgan, had made oycrtures to let the
United States have any amount Of gold
needed.
The statement, It is learned, is accurate
so far as concerns the fact that Russia
rendered the United States part of it's
store OF gold, but the inference that this
offer was a recent one made in oonse-
quenoe of the late Venezuelan message
and subsequent panic, is not warranted.
II may bo asserted positively that the
tender was not influenced by the compli-
cations exiating between the United
States and Great Britain, but was made
two years ago.
Soon nfter President Cleveland came
Into Office for the second time he was con-
fronted with rapidly shrinking gold re-
serve I'm tho treasury and heavy loss Of
revenue incident to changes in tho tariff.
This situation resulted in the United
States boing asked larger rates than usual
for any bonds it might wish TO float
Tho Russian government for ten years
had been accommodating gold, in many
fases at great disadvantage owing to the
hostility Of the money lenders of central
and western Europe, and much of this
gold was purchased in the open market
by secret agents of the Russian govern
ment
Taking cognzanoo of the situation Of
tho United States government with which
It always had been on terms Of the closest
friendship Secretary Gresham, through
Prince Cantacuzene, th0n Russian minis
ter to Washington, was notified that Rus
sin stood ready to part with half Of her
store Of gold, II so much were necessary,
to the United States, in order TO protect
her old time friend in the family Of na-
tions
This tonder was made about eight
months after President Cleveland assumed
the presidential Office for his second term.
The offer was gratefully acknowledged,
but as the capitalists Of other nations
gained an inkling of the fact it was found
that the terms upon which gold could bo
procured in open market as a conse-
quence Of Russia's tender, were so favor
able as to render It unnecessary to tax the
friendship OF Russia.
A present, so it Is understood, the Rus
sian offer still holds good, and about the
only new phase Of the situation is that
this fact has been made known freshly ia
the European gold brokers.
