MRS, STANFORD'S JEWELS
Revival of the Report That They
Are to Be Sold in New
York.
Diamonds Worn by Queen Isabella of
Spain May be Placed Under
the Hammer.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Dec. A jeweler
Of this city is making arrangements to
offer at public sale some time in January
the collection OF jewels and gems owned
by Mrs. Leland Stanford, widow of Senator
Stanford. The value of the collection is
variously estimated at from 81, 000,0O to
100000.
Stanford bought four sets of diamonds
for his wife when the Jewels of Queen
Isabella OF Spain were sold in Paris and
paid $4,000 for the four sets. One set is
of the stones known as 'blue diamonds, I"
as they emit violet rays by day. Another
has pink rays in its stones. The third set
is of diamonds as yellow as topaz, and the
fourth is of fiawless white stones. Each
set has a tiara of necklace, pendant,
brooch, earrings, from four to six brace
lets and some finger rings, all of the same
style or make and of corresponding stones.
In addition to these Mrs. Stanford has
some genuine black diamonds, cut pear
shaped, and numerous other diamond
ornaments in a variety of styles. One
necklace, not belonging to any of the sets
above named, is valued at 100000 and it's
pendants at $50, 900.

R|VALED HETTY GREEN,
Death of Mrs. Anna Asplnwall,
the Eccentric PittSburg
Woman.
She Had Sailed for Europe to Escape
Being BeSieged by
Callers.

PITTSBURG.' Pa, Dec "A cablegram
received in Pittsburg announces the death
in Edinburgh, Scotland, of Mrs. Anna R.
Aspinwall widow of George R. Aspinwal
of this locality. Mrs. Aspinwall leaves
behind her record of life as unique in
every respect as that of Hetty Green of
New York, and it is thought that for
eccentricity it would even surpass that of
the notorious New York woman.
Mrs. AspinwalPs strict seclusion shut
out all intercourse with the public, so that
she was not known to great many. even
by reputation. The act that recently
brought her into unsougkt prominence in
Pittsburg was her donation of a tract of
valuable real estate to the West Pennsyl-
vania Hospital. To escape being besieged
by callers, Mrs. Aspinwall sailed in June
last for Europe. On this trip fall caused
by lurch of the ship inflicted injuries
that resulted in her death last Monday.
Mrs. Aspinwall's estate is worth more
than half million in bank accounts and
investments, while her land possessions
are in value exceeding $3,000,000. Her
maiden name was Annie Coleman, she
being member of the wealthy Coleman
family in the East, prominent in mining
interests. She married Captain George R.
Aspinwall of the family which controlled
the Aspinwall line of ocean steamers and
through him came into large possessions.

or INTEREST TO THE COAST.
One of the New Batisships likely to Be Built
in San Fancisco-Deep- Water
HnrhnrS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 4.-Sena-
tors Perkins and White and Representa-
tive Loud we're at the Navy Department
this morning and saw Secretary Herbert
about the contract for the new battleship,
which they hope to secure for the Union
Iron Works. While Secretary Herbert did
not give them any positive assurance, they
Judged from the tone of his conversation
that he would allow the San Francisco
bidders ten per cent, and as Mr.. Scott will
doubtless be willing to accept the contract
with this concession, it is very probable
that one of the new battleships will be
constructed on the coast.
Senator White is endeayoring to secure
from General Craighill, chief of engineers
an approval of Colonel Benyurd's report
recommending an expenditure of $780, 900
for dredging the inner harbor at Winning
ton. When he has secured General Craig
hills approval of this project Senator
White will endeavor to have this amount
appropriated in the river and harbor bill,
which expenditure will increase the depth
at low tide from fifteen to eighteen feet.
This project. Senator White says, is dis
tinct from the outer harbor work. con-
corning which there is a controversy be-
tween the Southern Pacific and the people
of California, Huntington's engineers
protesting against any improvements of
San Pedro's outer harbor, but wanting the
work done at Santa Monica, to cost
several million dollars. This project has
not been preached in Congress yet, but
doubtless soon will be, when Representa-
tive McLachlin introduces his bill, which
will be referred to the River and Harbor
Committee.
Senators White and Perkins also saw
General Craighill to-day and urged that
work on the Oakland tidal canal be prose-
cuted as expeditiously as possible.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-12-05

realized the necessity of promptly taking
steps in that direction, to secure their
country against foreign invasion and to
extend the interests of their commerce.
he also believed in the Monroe doctrine
and believed that the people were dissatis-
fed with the foreign policy pursued for
the last twenty-five years. He believed
that it had been dilatory, if not absolutely
trivial and contemplate. 1t had been a
hiss and by-word among the people of
the United States.
In this connection Allen referred to the
case of Mrs. Maybrick, charging that she
had not been given fair trial in England,
and to that of ex-Consul Waller elan
gushing in French prison for the al
legged crime of treason to Government
to Which he owed no allegiance" He did
not believe in "a brilliant foreign policy"
but in sensible and efficient one that
would command the respect of the entire
civilized world and would draw to its sup
port citizens regardless Of political align
ment.
No action was taken on the resolution,
which thereupon went to the calendar,
and, as Call CD of Florida, who was to
speak on the same subject, preferred to
postpone his speech until tomorrow, the
Senate proceeded to executive business
and at 80 adjourned till tomorrow.
