Special Dispatch to The Call. bebebebeiei e e e@ NEW YORK, Nov. 14—An event of national importance in financial, railroad and ed- ucational affairs took place to-day in this city. The splendid dream of the late Leland Stanford and Mrs ne Stanford has been magniffcently realized. Mrs. Stanford sold to-day every dollar of her enormous holdings in the Southern Pa Company, and with $11,400,000 received from the sale will complete the alinost fabulous endowment of the Leland Stanford Jr. University. In this transaction the life ambition of Mrs. Stanford is won and the hope of her late husband is ful- The Stanford University is now one of the richest institutions of learning in the world. In the financial transaction, which is only the medium through which a great purpose has been realized, Mrs. Stanford has disposed of all her stock in the Southern Pacific Company to the Huntington-Speyer syndicate. Her holdings amounted to 285,000 shares of stock, for which she received approximately $40 a share, or $11,400,000. There ‘is no doubt that the stock was bought in the interest of C. P. Huntington. Mrs. Stanford has thus made available for the insti- tution which has made her famous throughout the civilized world a fortune the size of which almiost baffles the imagination.
