Kiamiuer ay Mr. Stanford haa paid
off th last of the deht due from the
Stanford estate ami ha thus early K'd
it great proertle in almost jrfect or
der. She ia now am Ions for a distribu
tion of the estate, so that she may se
cure a-ronal control of the million of
which she I now eiecutrii. She is
ready to prucee.1 with the eipenditure
of a large amount of money to greatly
increase the revenue and enlarge the
facilities and scopo of the university. As
soon aa a diatrihution I ordered she will
hegin oieration in a new field. Then
under her personal stitiervislon the erec
tion of several hundred thousand dollar'
worth of new huildings and the early
expansion of the university to three
times its present magnitude will he
la-gun. She ia ready to hegin thi work
early neat spring if the estate can lie
distributed by that time. The estate is
nearly ready for distribution, eicept for
three claims that are pending. One is a
suit for I7S.UU0, involving a horse, which
is pending on appeal, and another is a
suit lor 7,OH0 brought recently for Iwoks
for the university. The other claim is
the $15,tJ0,UH) claim against the Stan
f..r.l uaiaii. a hieh Attiirnev-4 ieneral '
ney has presented on la-half of the gov
ernment to Mr. Stanford aa eiectitrix.
This suit ia an annoyance to .Mr. Stan
ford, because so long as it is unsettled it
w ill prevent her from upending a dollar
I the estate in lieiian oi me university.
She had planned to la-gin Sieniling
veral hundred thousand dollar In en-
laririmr the institution next spring, hut
she will lie unable to use any of the es
tate bcoueathed to hersell or the univer
sity by her husband until a distribution
ia ordered, and this the I'rohate Court
cannot authorixe until all claims are ad-
justed.
Mrs. Stanford lias stated that all '
her proerly and all ol the estate willed
lo her hy Stanford is with the exception
of a few comparatively small laipieats
logo lo the university, ami that when
the estate cornea into her private posses
sion it will la used for the university
luring her life, aa it will I alter her
leath. There ia an ample income to
keen the university going at its present
cost of alwiit 1200,1100 a year, and the
great proertie deeded lo the university
by Senator Stanford, I'alo Alto ranch
and stock farm, tiridley ranch ami ina
ranch, vield a large revenue, which ha
never Ui-" iiiotcd. Mr. Stanlord can
lauli lea this vive to the university from
the private fortune that waa her before
Senator Staiilonl' death and from her
allowance of $10,000 a month from the
esliite. Hut for the large amount of cap
ital and larger revenue necessary lor an
enlargement of the university she Is
waiting for the distribution ol tlie es
tate, of which she is executrix, and

the Paris and Cologne express train at
Apilli, lictween Noyon andChauny, yea-
terday was more serious than at lirst
supiHjecd. The first estimate plaiT.1
the niimlwr of persons killtil at ten, with
twenty Injured. Twelve liodic have
already been taken from the wreck. The
aivident was due to the slow shunting ol
a Ireight train at Apilli. The engineer
uf the exnresa saw the car on the line
and reversed the engine. The shock of
the collision waa lairne by the three front
cars. As soon aa the accident became
known a priest and others hurried to the
railroad station, and did everything to
axaist the dving and injured. The re
port that the station master at Apilli
had comtuilttsl suicide hy tumping in
Irontof the express train when he saw
the collision was inevitable turns out in
correct. The station master ran along
the track to signal the express and the
freight train, and was caught lictween
the two train and killed. It seems
certain there were Americana among the
killed or injured.

Admiral lleardslee, who ha recently suc
ceeded to command of the Pacilic station,
expect to remain in California for two
months until hi flagship, the Philadvl
ulna, i ai;ain ready for sea. "The n
pain on the Philadelphia w ill take fully
two months," he laid. Concerning the
ixsj-ible need of a cruiser' presence at
Honolulu during the approaching elec
lion he taid the commander of the
Charleston, which haa probably arrived
at Honolulu by this time, can use his
own discretion as to wlietlarr he hud
better remain there or proceed direct to
Yokohama. Without speaking offici
ally." he continued, "it may be the
policy of the government to deem the
presence of a war vessel at Honolulu an
indication that it i a necessity. If it is
not a necessity, there could Is? no reason
whv it should be there. 1 should sav
that, if the government of Haw aii is ever
to have any standing with the nations of
the earth, it is time for it to be permitted
to establish the standing without out
side assistance. There is no reason why
the Hawaiian Islands should be visited
by the vessels of the eottadron in prefer
ence to oilier important points, such as
Peru, where a revolution is impending.
There are now no vessels on the Central
or South American coasts, though the
unsettled state of affair in several lo
calities would seem to suggest that it
might le advisable to have a cruiser
there to protect American interests. It
is very doubtlul if Hawaii will he given
the attention that it received during the
past year, as the prospective harmonious
rondit ions there do not demand it. There
are, however, no order as vet, and I
have not the slightest Idea where I shall
le ordered when the Philadelphia is
