SENATOR STANFORD'S WILL
The Document Filed for Pro
bate Yesterday.
Mrs. Stanford Named as the
Sole Executrix.
Two and a Half Million Bequeathed
to the University.
Handsome Legacies Left tn All the Rel
atives on I! run. Hlrlea of the
Family—The 'Widow the
Residuary Legatee.
By the Associated Press.
San Fbancisco, June 30.—Just before
4 o'clock this afternoon 0. H. I/well,
acting for the law firm of Wilson & Wil
i on, filed in this city the will of the late
Senator Leland Stanford. The docu
ment consists of 22 closely type-written
pages. Tire original paper is dated No
vember 29, 1980. There are four codi
cils bearing date respectively of Decem
ber, 1888; December 3, 1891; December
28, 1892, and January 25, 1893.
By the terms of the instrument Jane
Lathrop Stanford, the widow, bay-
ing survived the testator, the
Bum of $2,600,000 is bequeathed to
Leland Stanford, jr., university. If
Senator Stanford had survived hie wife,
the university would have received
$5,000,000 outright. The entire estate
is declared to be community property
and the widow is named aa the residuary
legatee and sole executrix, without
bonds. She is authorized to choose
assistant executors, who are likewise to
serve without bonds, when so chosen.
The residuary legatee' is peimitted
to dispose of the property accord
ing to her own will during her
life or by will at her death,
but should she fall to so provide for the
disposing of the estate, then it is to be
distributed equally among the lawful
heirs of the testator, in accordance with
the laws of descent and distribution in
force in this state.
The petition for probate states that
the value of the estate is unknown, but
that it consists of loans, bonds and real
property in this sta'e.
The senator left $300,000 to his brother
Thomas Welton Stanford, and (100,000
each to his other two brothers, Josiah
and A. P. Stanford.
His residence and the furniture there
of in this city be left to his wife, and he
set apart $100,000 for the erection of a
I tomb for the remains of himself, bis wife
| and his eon.
! Each of tits nephews and nieces, of
i whora there are v cumber, recei»es
; »l.>o,otJO.
Some of the legatees have died since
| the will wsb drawn.
In the bequests to his nephews and
nieces the testator included a step-niece
nnd also the children of his wife's
brothers. IncaßeMrs. Stanford should
die before the testator or in case ehe
should cease to set as executrix from
any cause, Ariel Latbrop, Lorenzo Saw
yer, Stephen T. Gage and D.O. Mills are
appointed executors, aud no bonds are
required of any of them.
There are rive codicils at
tached to tho will. The first
relates to the provision of the will
which directs that in case his wife does
not otherwise dispose of the property it
is to be distributed among bis heire-at
law at her death. The codicil changes
this provision by directing that -at his
wife's death, in case she has not other
wise disposed of the property, it shall go
to the trusteee of the university.
In another codicil Charles F. Crocker,
John W. Allyne and Uaeaell J.Wilson
are named as additional executors in
case those already mentioned failed to
act. Another substitution of executoro
is made on acconnt of the death of
Judge Sawyer and Samuel M. Wilson,
who'was afterward named, and on ac
count of tho removal of Ariel Lathrop
from the state. The persons named In
their stead are Joseph McKenna and St.
T. Smith.
Another codicil revokes the clause of
the will bequeathing $100,000 for a fam
i'v tomb, the tomb habing been erected
in the testator's lifetime.
, In one clause of the will the testator
directed that in case'be should survive
his wife, tho university trustees m'.gnt,
if they saw fit, dedicate his San Fran
cisco residence and grounds for the ben
efit of the people of that city. In a
codicil he directs that this authority
shall not extend to using the residence
as a club house.
In auotber codicil the senator gives to
the two children of Josiah Stanford the
$100,000 intended for him, as he has
since died.
He also bequeaths $15,000 to his pri
vate secretary, H. C. Nash, and $100,000
each to his wife's brothers, Ariel La
throp and Henry C. Lathrop,
The Monterey's Trip to Seattle.
Seattle, Wash., Jnne 30.—The United
States steamer Monterey arrived in the
harbor today direct from San Francisco,
Captain Kempff commanding, He said
the engines of the Monterey did not
stop from the time they left Mare
island until they anchored in Seattle
today, and the two Scotch boilers were
the only ones used for the whole dis
tance. They could have gotten here
sooner by using an additional boiler, but
these two are for ordinary steaming and
he wanted to test them thoroughly; at
the same time they supplied all the
auxiliary machinery. The machinery
and boilers worked satisfactorily in every
way and the vessel is an economical
one, as but 148 tons of coal were burned
in the whole distance.

LOS ANGELES: SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 1, 1893. ?»> t 070
Aired In the Dixon-Hoot Dypuotlo Con
spiracy C>M,
Cuioaoo, Jane 30.—The attorneys
today filed the answer of Henry A. Boot
in the action in which Root is charged
with having hypnotized Henry W.
Dixon of Flushing, Long Island, and
defrauded him of a large estate. The
bill, which was filed last March, made
other sensational charges against Root,
who is well known as a contestant of the
Davla will case of Montana. The an
swer exposes a family skeleton. It
covers Root's entire firmness rela
tions with (he Dixom. Hfl says
James W. Dixon, the eouipiaiuaut,
frora boyhood until ho "ran soot away
from home by ha lathtr.fr enator Dixuu
of Hartford, (.;:., and phasid in charge
of Root lv New York, whs a common
drunkuid in the streets oi flurtlord;
that about a week before the senator
died he sent for Root and, discussing
the uuworthinese of his son, urged Rout
to protect the interests of his other eon
and daughters against any attacks, legal
or otherwise, that might be made by
James VV. after the father's death;
that the defendant kept this
promise inviolate, thereby incurring
the hatred and malicious animosity of
the complainant, who had at dilferent
times made propositions to Root to
enter into an intrigue against his sisters
for the enforcement of unjust claims,
and for proving that his father's will
was obtained by virtue of the undue iu
finence of hi* sisters, all of which Root
refused to do, and in 1874 Root effected
a settlement with the complainant of all
Lis claims against the estate, and
paid him (15,000. Since that
time the complainant has en
deavored to enforce false claims, and
because Koot refused to aid him, has
pursued him (Root) with unceasing ma
lignity. The answer state a that at the
time of the death of his father, Henry
Dixon, the alleged victim of the hypno
tism, was located in » private asylum in
Connecticut, where he was sent by his
father, biinsslf. Root charges Dixon
with having attempted to' levy black
mail, and declares further, that be has
preyed upon his weak-minded brother
by threats and other device*.

New Yobk, June SO.—Money today
was the center of attraction in financial
circles, rather than in the stock markot,
as the result of the united action of
some banks represented in the clearing
house committee, in taking out clearing
house certificates for their respective
banks. The situation was reported to
be much easier in co' 1 "quence of the
prompt Blepa taken ny the banks to
avert a money panic, and on every hand
praise was heard for the presidents of
those banks. The bunks which took
certificates Ireely lent the money thus
made available, without decreasing the
cash in the vaults shown by the debtor
balances at the clearing house this
morning, whioh of course was paid in
loan certificates, which had to be taken
by banks having a credit balance
RATK6 ON CALL MONEY.
The rate for call money this afternoon
prior to 2 o'clock was 55 per cent. Many
loans, however, were renewed until next
Wednesday at rates varying from 20 to
25 per cent. It is said there is not much
commercial paper ottering, and it is ar
gued from that fact that the merchants
are in fairly good shape. Bank officers
reported demands from the country
much lighter in amount, but the appli
cations very generally distributed. It
was not'eed that only very shirt time
paper was being received and that is be
lieved to indicate a belief that the strain
is about over. There are no extraor
dinary shipments of country currency
by <i notations from London, where all
American securities are higher.
TUB BUtiAK IK MLVEB,
The break in Bilver to 30j* pence per

very limited scale.
TRANSACTIONS IN MONEY.
Tho first transactions in money at the
stock exchange were at 12(<"f 15 per cent.
Subsequently the rate rose to 35. A
broker for clearing house banks, who
was a conspicuous lender of money yes
terday, renewed all loans at 15 until
Wednenday next. This relieved the
stringency to a great extent.
BEARS LOCKING 171' Till! MONEY.
Stock exchange houses are indignant
over tho methods employed by certain
bears in locking up money. They claim
that firms employed by bear operators
bid fancy rates for hinds, and after ob
taining fund ■ have not used them. In
other words, they secured a call on a lot
of money, tying it up, depriving tho9e
In actual need of funds from using
them, and thus they have brought
about a demoralization in the Rtock
martcet, which is their main object.
This bas been carried bo far that the

will investigate the firms engaged in this
manipulation. Feeling rune hirfh

The loan committee of the clearing

money market against any extreme
stringency. If necessary, loan certifi
cates will be taken out to any extent by
the banks.
THE EXTRA SESSION.
News or It Created Surprint and Belief
lv Financial Clrolee.
New York, June 80.—President
Cleveland's action in calling an extra
session of congress for August 7th was
a decided surprise in financial circles.
At first the report was not credited, for
the reason that ever since the crista in
silver and the money markets there
have been almost hourly rumors about
an extra session. When, finally, the
bankers and stock operators were con
vinced, there was a decided feeling of
relief and the concensus of opinion was
that the tendency of financial and com
mercial affairs would henceforth be in
the direction of improvement.
HAKHISON INTERVIEWED.
Ex-President Harrison as seen at
the Fifth-avenue hotel tonight, and
aeked as to his opinion on President
Cleveland's call for an August session of
congress. He said: "lam not prepared
to say whether I think an August ses
sion of congress will restore confidence,
which is said to be demoralized. There
may be a Berious obstruction. I cannot
tell what may be the extent of Cleve
land's knowledge on the subject, but I
know they would not have repealed the
Sherman law for me. I think perhaps
altogether too much of the oomplained
oi stringency is loaded upon the Sher
man law. There are a great many other
causes which contributed to the present
state of affairs."
BIUKTALLIHTB AGITATED.
General A. J. Warner, president of
the bimetallic league, oame up from
Washington this afternoon and held a
conference with Senator J. P. Jones, of
Nevada, on the monetary outlook. The
announcement that congress will bold
an extra session August 7th makes it
necessary for the bimetallists to come
together, and after a long discussion on
the subject it was decided to call a con
vention of the bimetallic league at some
time prior to the date fixed for the extra
session of congress. It will probably be
about the middle of July. No place for
the convention bas yet been agreed upon
bnt both Chicago and St. L<ouis are men
tioned and General Warner said tonight
he favored the latter.

SCARED SPECULATORS.
Another Drop In Wheat—Big Interest dn
Call Loans In Chicago.
Chicago, June 30.—Scared speculators
had to pay 00 per cent interest today for
money to carry wheat. Liquidation
was on a stupendous scale. It was the
last day before the July delivery, and
numbers of unlucky traders had held on
to their July wheat, hoping for some
bulge or spurt on the bull eide to let
them out. When the last day arrived
and September wae at too much of a
premium to buy, the only thing left was
to throw July wheat on the already
sick market. This msde a sensational
turn and resulted in knocking prices to
a point bever before reached. The low
record has been broken many times in
the past six weeks, but at no time so
abruptly as today. After a session of
great excitement July closed 1' 4 ' to 13., cl 3 ., c
lower than yeßterday, though yester
day's figures were the lowest previously
known in the history of the Chicago
board of trade.

Washington, June 30.—At 6 o'clock
this evening the following proclamation
was iaßaed:
Executive Mansion, )
Washington, D. C, June 30, 1893.f
Whereas, The distrust and apprehen
sion which pervades all business circles
bas already caused great loss and dam
age to our people and threatens to crip
ple our merchants, stop the wheels of
manufacture, bring distress and priva
tion to our farmers and withhold from
our workingmen the wage of labor; and
Whereas, The present perilous condi
tion is largely the result of a financial
policy which the executive branch of
the government finds embodied in un
wise laws which must be executed until
repealed by congress;
Now, therefore, I, Grover Cleveland,
president of the United States, in per
formance of my constitutional duty, do,
by this proclamation declare that an ex
traordinary occasion requires the con
vening of both houses of the congress of
the United States at the capitol in the
city of Washington, on the seventh day
of August next, at 12 o'clock noon, to
the end that the people may be relieved
through legislation from the present and
impending danger and distress. All
those entitled to act as members of the
fifty-third congress are required to take
notice of this proclamation and attend at
the time and place above stated.
Given under myjhand and the seal of the
United Spates at the city of Washington
on the thirteenth day of June, in the
year of our Lord, one thousand eight
hundred and ninety-three, and of the
Independence of the United States, the
one hundred and seventeenth.
Grover Cleveland,
orovbb's change of mind.
The determination to call an extra
session the first week in August instead
0} the first week in September, it is un
derstood, was only definitely arrived at
a: this morning's cabinet session after
giving full weUht to the numerous tele
gram* •■■•ceiv'd from all parts of the
country ura'.nc; vhis course. The con
sideration which caused the president
to change bis mind was foreshadowed in
a remark made by one of his cabinet
officers two days ago, to $he effect that
if the president received reasonable as
surance that there was a likelihood of
the prompt repeal of the so-called Sher
man silver purchase law, he might be
disposed to call congress together earlier
than ha announced. It is inferred from
the fact that the president has done bo,
that he has received the assurances re
ferred to.
A SUDDEN DETERMINATION.
There seems to be every reason to be
lieve that all speculations as to the time
of the meeting of congress indulged in
prior to 1 p.m. today, were guesses pare
and simple. It is almost conclusively
established that the calling of the
August session was not even determined
upon until after midday today, and con
sequently could not have been com
municated to any peraon, in confidence
or otherwise, days in advance. The
plain facts <-ppear to be that the dia
tuibanceß of values, arising from the
uncertainties of the situation, were so
alarming that Mr. Cleveland was at last
compelled to acknowledge that the un
expaeted contingencies necessitating an
earlier meeting of congress, which he
spoke of in the celebrated interview of
June sth, hud airiveii. The action of
the British government in India brought
matters to a crisis. Previous to that
startling event Cleveland bnd manifested
a firm determination to adhere to his
plar> of calling congress in September.
V . today he found telegrams on hia
table not only from the eastern and
middle slates, but also from the south
and even from soma silver states, urging
that congress be called together at the
earliest day possible, to end the uncer
tainty, he determined to delay no longer.
Even in taking this action, the president
took steps, as far as he could, to prevent
its being known before the stock ex
change closed, co as to avoid any ap
pearance of exercising undne influence
on the stock market.
EFFECT OF THE ANNOUNCEMENT.
The effect of the announcement upon
the eenators and representatives in the
city was very marked. The proclama
tion, its effects and the probable result
lin the action of the coming congress
were the leading topics of conversation
in tho hotel lobbies tonight. The action
of the president, it is apparent, meets)
with the commendation and approval of
most of the members and politicians
now in the city, and the opinion is
almost general that the Sherman act
will be repealed. This proposition is
not refuted, piobably for the reason that
the free silver men, who will conduct
the fight against repeal, have very few
members now in the city. The free sil
ver men, however, will oppose any
attempt to repeal the Sherman law with
all their strength. The fact that th«
mines in the west have been closed, will
be used as a weapon with which to fore«
any wavering member in their ranki
back to the fold.
CLEVELAND LEAVES WABUINGTOK. .
The president left this afternoon fot
Buzzard's bay. He will be absent
three weeks or more, his stay depending
upon circumstances. The preaident'i
determination to leave the city was only
reached this morning, and bis departure,
so suddenly leaves a number of im
portant appointments agreed upon un
signed. Tt ia'nnderetooa the president
