WILLIAMASTORDEAD
Flo Was the Senior Member of the
House Of Astor. r..
A FORTUNE OF SIXTY MILLIONS

Left to be Divided Among His Chill
dren, One of Whom Is Mrs. j.
Coleman Drayton--He Was One of
the Richest Men in America.
PARIS, April 81. = William Astor,
senior member of the house of Astor in
America, and grandson Of the original
John Jacob Astor, died at the Hotel
Liverpool, aged 81. The cause of his
death, according to one report, was heart
failure, while another account says it
was caused by CONGESTION of the lungs.
Mr.. Astor was the father of Mrs, j.
Coleman Drayton, and was greatly wor-
ried over the Borrowe- Fox Milbank scan
dal in which she was involved. .
Next to his nephew, William Waldorf
Astor, and probably Jay Gould, William
Astor was the richest citizen Of America.
His wealth was recently estimated at
S60, 1000, ,000 the greater part of which is
invested in New York real estate.
William Astor, who during the life of
his father was completely overshadowcd
by him, has always been more or less i'll
the background SO far as public prolni-
nence was concerned. He was only re-
cognized by the reflected light of his
wife, who since the death of Mrs. John
Jacob Astor, several years before that Of
her husband, has been the acknowledged
leader of New York fashionable society.
For many years the influence of Mrs.
William Astor in society matters has
been all powerful, and she has, in fact,
been the sole arbiter of the fate of those
who have sought to gain admittance to
the ''inner circle" on the creme de Ia
creme, as Ward McAllister calls it.
Her predecessor had been Mrs. John
Jacob Astor, her sister-in-law, and after
her death it was natural that she should
assume the scepter, the wife of William
Waldorf Astor not being recognized by
her as entitled to take the lead.

mich met with frightful death at the
brick yard of Charles w. Focht, in West

VICTORIA, b, G., April 27.-Peoplc in
tercsted in the sealing industry are Con-
sidoring the plan for evading the agree
ment between the United States and
Great Britain for the restriction Of seal
ing in Behring sea. Captain Cox, a well
known sealer, says that if the molus
vivendi be enforced for two years, the
only way for many sealers to do will be
to sell their vessels to representatives of
other nations. Representatives from
Germany or Italy would probably be
here shortly to take the schooners over
and send them to Behring sea under
