 NEW YORK, Dec. I2-A prominent gentleman authorized the statement late last evening, that the will left by Van derbilt immediately distributes compar- asiyely little of estate, binding up its neat bulk as trust, from which the an- nual income which IS estimated at fl5, O0O,0OO should be divided among hls sev- eral children after giving one third, or five million, annually to his widow.

This puts that time forward little over twenty years.
