STANFORD'S ESTATE.
GOVERNMENTS CLAIM AGAINST 1T
IS FILED.
suit is For S15,237,OO While the
Estate is Appraised at But
100000, Including the Uni
versfty.

San Francisco, March 15.-Attorney
L. E. McKissick, the special United
States district attorney appointed by
Attorney General Olney to prosecute
the governments claim against the es-
tate Of the late Leland Stanford, fled
the governments complaint in the
United States circuit court here today.
The suit is for s15, 237, 600. The COM
plant covers twenty sheets of type
written copy. 1t recites the conditions
under which the Central Pacific, Rail
road company was formed by Stanford,
Huntington, Hopkins, Croker and
others, and asserts that at the time
when the debt of the Central COM
pany to the government of the United
States was incurred these four men
were in control of all the capital stock
of the company, with the exception of
a few shares turned over to servants
and employees of the corporation.
Under the terms of the partnership be-
tween Stanford, Huntington, Hopkins
and Croker it is asserted that the es-
tate OF Stanford is liable for its one
fourth share of the governments claim
against the railroad, or S15, $4,000. The
claims against Huntington, and the
Croker and Hopkins estates are not
brought into the present suit. In con-
clusion, judgment against the estate
in the sum stated is prayed for and it
is demanded that Jane L. Stanford.
the executor of the estate, be ordered
10 pay the same out of the assets of
the estate in due course Of administra-
ton and prior to all other claims. The
Stanford estate, including the Stanford
University property, was appraised at
about $4,000, 900. The successful prose-
cution of the government suit would
not only practically wipe out the es-
tate but would wreck the university.

~ALADDIN.. "ALI nABA.,

Some years ago NJ. Gutenberg COM
pletely vindicated the literary integrity
of Galland, who was long believed to
have himself invented a number of the
tales in Les Mile ct Une Nuts" and
deliberately foisted them on the public
as genuine Arabian compositions. As
those taIes-'Aladdin," ''Ali Baba,"
prince Ahmed The Envious Sis
ters," etc.,-are among the most fas-
cinating in the whole of that famous
story book, this was certainly paying
a very high compliment to the great
orientalist's inventive genius, If 1t did
impugn his honesty.
Some candid scholars there were,
however, who strongly maintained
that, though those narratives were not
to be found in any Arabic text of ELF

taken them down from the recitals Of
professional story-tellers in the LIE
want.
But the question was finally settled
when NJ. Gutenberg discovered them in
a manuscript copy of 1.-THE Nights"
which had been recently acquired for
the National Library at Paris, and
published the Arabic text of the tale
of Aladdin and his lamp, together
with a monograph on the authenticity
of the tales which had been hitherto
commonly regarded as spurious.-NoteS

PRICES OF SPIRITS.
Important Action By Which They
VIII Be Regulated.

Will Be Regulated.
Chicago, March 15.-The Spirits Dis
tilling association, Of which General
John McNulta, chief receiver of the
Whisky trust, is chairman, issued an
important circular to the whisky trade
today regarding the regulation of
prices. The circular says:
can agreement has been made by
the association under which the trade
is to be supplied with spirits and alco-
hol at a small profit over the cost of
production-that is, the prices agreed
upon are calculated to give profit to
the producers of less than one-half of
1 per cent per gallon. 1t is the inten-
ton of the association to protect the
trade against the arbitrary advances
by having the price absolutely based
upon the price of corn and other ma
terials required for the production"
The circular also explains that the
Spirits Distilling association, compris-
ing 80 per cent of the distilling inter-
ests of the country, was formed on
Feb. 20 and II, with the object of mu-
tual benefit to the various interests in
the trade. 1t has an executive COM
mittee, which meets in Peoria and
directs the details, and an arbitration
committee directly representing the
trade.
