san francisco, dec. ll.-MrS. Jane
L. Stanford has executed and delivered
to the board of trustees of the Leland
Stanford, Jr., university, two deeds of
grant and one deed of gift. One of the
deeds of grant covers all of the real es.
tate heretofore given to the university
including the university campus OF
about 5000 acres. The other deed of
grant covers the Stanford residence
upon California street, which is event.
ually to be used for educational pur.
poses.
The deed of gift covers bonds and
stocks heretofore given and certain Sc.
curities not included in former grants.
The grants are largely confirmatory in
character and are made under the pro
visions of the Stanford university con-
stitutional amendment, which legalized
grants and gifts made to the univer-
s!ty. This amendment was adopted in
order to set at rest amy question as to
the validity Of the original endowment
and to prevent legal technicalities from
interfering with future donations to
this educational institution, which was
founded by Mr.. and Mrs. Stanford as
a memorial to their only son.
The deeds delivered practically COW
er the grants made in the original en-.
dowment which, however, is more
than doubled in value, chiefly owing
to the remarkable business ability dis.
played by Mrs. Stamford i'm the manage
ment of the vast interest left in her
charge by the death of her husband. BY
these grants she has conveyed to the
Leland Stanford, Jr, university, for the
benefit of the people Of California,
about $18,000,000 in stocks and bonds.
$40 900, 900 to $12, 100000 in real estate,
including the university buildings and
equipments. All of the bonds are first
mortgage and the stocks, with scarcely
an exception, are what are known as
gilt edge securities.
F. F. Lieb of San Jose, president of
the board of directors, received the
deeds on behalf of the board, and also
took formal possession of the bonds
and other personal property. Messrs.
Charles G. Lathrop, Joseph D. Grant
and Timothy Hopkins, resident .trus.
tees, were also present. The legal fea-
lures of the donation were conducted
by Mrs. Stanford's attorneys, Crothers
& Crothers.
Notwithstanding that she has now
given the equivalent of over 1925, 900, 900
to the Leland Stanford, Jr., university
making 1T one of the richest institu.
lions of the kind in the world, Mrs
Stanford has not impoverished herself
but is understood to still retain several
millions for her personal use and to
provide for the various members of her
family. ut is believed that the amount
of her endowment to the university,
which she aided in founding, exceeds in
amount any similar gift in history.

PREPARATIONS
GRANDEsT ROBES OF THE AGE.
The Designs of Coronation Robes
Have Been Decided UpOn-Cere-
mOny Lasts Four HOurs-Dia-
mOnds and Rubies the Jewels
Other Notes of London.

London, Dec. 9.-The designs for the
coronation robes have finally been de-
cided upon. King Edward will wear
a cloth of gold underjacket embroid-
cred with palm branches and the
shamrock, rose and thistle. On the
kings stole the cross of st. George,
the royal thistle will be woven in gold
thread. His cape will be magnificent
garment, decorated with silver eagles
and fuer de lis, and the national floral
emblems. The queen will wear robes
almost exactly similar to those of
Queen Adelaide, which will be brought
to Marlborough house from Brodie cas-
tle where they are kept as heirlooms.
In spite of their age they are in ex-
cellent condition. They are of black
velvet, manufactured in handlooms.
deliberately embroidered and laced,
having gold trimmings and with huge
hanging sleeves,
The coronation rites will last four
hours. After the sacrament has been
administered to the king, he will dis
card the church yestments and put on
his state robes. Over 5000 precious
stones, diamonds, rubies, sapphircs
ond emeralds will be included in the
kings crown. There will be 1860 pure
white diamonds and 1870 rose dia-
n,onds. The historic ruby which the
king of Castle gave the Black Prince
in 1867, and which was subsequently
worn by Henry v. at Agincourt, is in
the center Of the crown, placed in the
heart of maltese cross.
| There is a smart saying current in
London that nowadays all the peer.
esses are either actresses or Ameri
cans, and that the members of the old
aTistocracy have all gone into trade.
The latest candidate for the latter is
the duke of Cambridge's daughter in
law. Mrs. George Fitzgeorge. whose
husband is colonel. This lady will
shortly start a hygienic identifying
concern in the heart of Mayfair.
The theatrical productions Of the
next few weeks are given over most
entirely to Christmas plays. "The Sill
yer Slipper" which has run 200 nights
az the Lyric, and San Toy" with its
uninterrupted run Of two years al
Daily's will both be withdrawn next
week.
Sousa's success here has excelled all
expectations. He has now arranged
with Phillip York, his English mana.
|ger, to return here June 26 for season
Of rs weeks. Part of this time will be
spent on the continent. When Sousa
comes here in 1902 he will occupy a
place of his own.

FATAL wreck IN OREGON
ENGINE RAN INTO THE CREEK.
Nail Car Smashed-Wreck of South
ern Pacific Passenger Train at Sa-
lem, Ore, in Which Fireman Silas
Fish Was Killed and Engineer
White Seriously Injured.

Portland, Dec. S.-The California
express train on the Southern Pacific,
which left San Francisco yesterday
morning, due in this city at Z D. M,
was wrecked 500 feet south of the de-
pot at Salem about 5 o'clock this after
noon. Fireman Silas l.. Fish of Port
land was killed and Engineer w. H.
White seriously injured. Engineer
White was caught under the wreck and
held there an hour before being res
oued, but his injuries are not con.
sidered fatal. No one else on the train
was injured, Notwithstanding the fact
that the engine, mail, express and bag
gage car all went in to ditch.
At the scene of the wreck there is o
trestle about Is feet high over Mill
creek. The engine plunged into the
creek, turning over on it's side, and
the mail car piled up on top of it. The
express and baggage cars left the track
on the opposite side from the engine
and mail car. The day coach was de-
rallied but remained upright. The
Pullman sleeper and private car Of
Superintendent Fish remained on the
track. The train was running only
ten miles an hour and it is not known
what caused the accident The track
was torn up for more than hundred
feet, blocking traffic for several hours
The Albany local train, due at Salem
al $50, was turned back to bring the
passengers and mails to Portland.
An examination of the track shows
that a switch was left half open and
the lock was gone. The engine took
the switch, while the tender stayed OH
the main line. 1t is believed to have
been the work of train wreckers.

Bulls Controlled Market,

Chicago, Dec s.-Pandemonium broke
loose in grains Saturday and with en-
thusiasm that has seldom if ever been
equalled, the bulls carrying everything
before them. 1t was wild day in the
pits, with wheat in the lead, and, as on
other recent bulges, an ineessant stream
of buying orders from the country
brought the advances.
Wheat easily led the activity and set
such rapid pace that it was a difficult
task to follow. AS has been the fashion
for several days past, the pit opened with
a jump, and disregarded the usual gov
erning factors. Bullish enthusiasm di |
everything. The country was crying for
huge quantities and it was case of buy
buy. Such market was great
temptation to holders of long wheat and
soon a flood of it poured in from several
points. One prominent broker threw a
million and half bushels on the market
and it had practically no appreciable eff
feet Where several large sellers were
making fat profits there were as many
Others taking in all offerings with avid
ity. Commission houses had orders that
demonstrated that the public was bigger
that the professionals.
The regular trade was Of the opinion
that the bull campaign was at an end
and that prices would slump in panicky
market. Tips have been going out to sell
everything, but today's business showed
the effort was wasted. Besides the coun-
tryman, the capitalist was getting into
the trade.
The conditions back of the upward
whirl of prices were almost identical
with those that started the strong bull
movement here Wednesday and Thurs
day. Although the visiting stock men
are rapidly leaving the city, many o;
them are still buying. Country orders
especially for wheat, deluged the com
mission houses this morning before trade
opened. Added to this big demand, how.
ever, was a new and powerful bull incen-
tive, that of capitalistic speculation
Prominent brokers say that the country
has gone speculation mad, and that men
who usually dabble in stocks are turning
to grain.
And, added to these very strong bull
arguments, came the news of strength
at Liverpool and in the English country
markets. Receipts, especially northwest
ern, were falling off. The weather wa:
unsettled and all outside markets were
showing corresponding strength

Submarine Boat n Success,

New York, Dec. S.-A test of the sub
marine boat Fulton was made in Long
Island sound for Captain Geelmudgen OF
the Norwegian navy. The Fulton was
given a surface trial of one mile and was
then submerged for longer run, at the
end of which two torpedoes were fired at
imaginary targets. The trial was pro-
nounced entirely successful. and Captain
Geelmudgen expressed great satisfaction
over the Fulton's showing.
