that fer a month past very definitely
stated reports have been current among
American friends of Mr.. and Mrs. William
X Vanderbilt, in London and Paris, tina
formal negotiations were in progress be-
tween them for a judicial separation. Fail
Ing that It has been said there was q
probability Of suit for divorce on the part
OF Mrs. Vanderbilt. There is no doubt that
Mrs. anderbi.t has consulted friends as to
the advisa biiity of Ins.itu;ing such proceed
irgs''
The name of Nelly Neustretter, a very
well-known woman living in Paris though
or Dutch birth. Is mentioned in this con-
nectlon, with what authority Is not known
The cable dispatch says: "A formal
proposition has been made by Mrs Wander
Tilt Tor separation on terms of an annual
allowance Of SSuo.WO. the custody of her
children and the possession of the three
houses at Newport. lslip and in New York /"
Mr.. Vanderbilt is said TO have offered
rsuch less favorable terms
A Newport special to the World saws:
The talk of the domestic infelicitics of Mr.
and Mrs. William h. Vanderbilt at Newport
extends over a period of two years or more
and as far back as that time the proba blity
OF a separation was the gossip OF the
piSce."

chairman. John B. Eaves. Is NEST bitterly
opposed to fusion. The fusionists now
claim that his own county. Rutherford. has
declared against him and for fusion.
There is now little doubt of lively ses-

Two years ago there was almost fight

There is no more love between these now

senator GOrman's Health,

From the Baltimore Sun.
Friends and acquaintance of Senator
German In Washington place no credence
In the report that the Senator's health f.
so seriously impaired that a visit to one of
the German springs and a general CONT
mental tour are necessary for his restora-
ton to his physical condition. Senator
German, they say. has long contemplated
a European trip with his family, and they
say this trip would have been taken this
summer had Congress adjourned IN time to
permit II. They say II is now too late, and
that the Senator has abandoned any pro-
tected European journey Is disproved by
the fact that he has engaged quarters at a
Saratoga hotel for a month. Should his
present plaLs carry he may make a tour
OF Europe after the adjournment Of Con-
gress on March next to carry out a long,
cherished object. Mr.. Germans health at
present Is reported to be In good shape
His ailment last spring was infiammation
at the neck Of the bladder. from which he
has apparently fully recovered. At no

garding Mr.. Germans health

Not Forgotten How.

This morning the ID yards range was
opeR by a little after 8 O'Clock, and by SEQ
the District contingent was facing the tar
gets. and ready to do Its best In the COM
retftfon-which Is now quite warm-for
place on the team The light was almost
right-a trifie hazy. pe-laps-and there
wasn't enough wind to annoy Each COM
that preliminary had been attended to each
man nred a string OF seven shots Corp
maurice ApPleby came out ahead. with a
ID Prtvates Cook and Scott and Lieut..
Laird were close up. with 81 each. The
others, with a couple of exceptions, did re-
markably well. The aggregate was per-
fectly satisfactory. and showed that, while
the team was out Of practice. it had not
forgotten how to shoot The present prom
ise Is for team that will be at least as
good as any of its predecessors. Today's
program II not long one. and II will prob
ably be over at an elriy hour. There Is
sucf thing as too much practice. but the
District team will not suffer therefrom
Yesterday each competitor fired fifty
rounds-whch was a good deal of shooting
for me1 who are We. in green" condition
physically. Today the total number for
each will be less than thirty. and it is not
likely that a greater quantity will be shot
tomorrow.
Everybody now on the ground is much,
pleased with the prospect Of a hot fight on
Tuesday next 1t is already certain that
there will be six teams here to compete for
the Hilton ard Interstate trophies: they
are coming from Maine. New York, New
Jersey. Pennsylvania, Georgia and the Dis
trict of Columbia. There have not been 80
many for years-rot since CreedmOor was
at It's best, away back i'm the middle eigh-
ties. No one here has any Information as
tc the strength OF the teams, SO a good deal
Of guessing is being INDUCED in: Ii will be
a beautiful and exciting struggle.
Private s. b. Wetherald arrived In camp
yesterday evening. and has settled down to
a steady hustle for one of the coveted team
places.
Mrs. w. L. Cash is at Sea Grit and will
