LONDON, Sept. Tho domestic Affairs Of
William X. Vanderbilt have been the subject Of
gossip in the American circles of London and
Paris for the past two months. Within few
days these reports have been msgnihed into the
assertion that legal separation had been agreed
upon between Mr.. Vanderbilt and HIS wife, and
that settlement OF $40 00O, 900 had been pros
vided for Mrs. Vanderbilt by her husband.
There has been no legal separation yet within
the knowledge Of their London friends. What
has happened is this:
The vanderbilts have not been particularly
discreet regarding their private Affairs since
they came here at the end Of their long cruise
early in tho summer. They have had disagree.
ments which have not been kept from the eyes
and ears of others. They have quarrelled more
than once.
When they went to Paris Mrs. Vanderbilt
was not pleased with tho furnishings Of the
suite provided for her ut the Hotel Continental,
ehc had the rooms emptiod, and furnished them
richly at her own expense or that OF her huaA
band. Mr.. Vanderbilt did not like this.
Before coming to London Mrs Vanderbilt ens
gagged rooms at the Hotel Berkeley. Mr.. van-
derbilt called at the Berkeley and expressed
much annoyance at what his wife had done. He
left word that no rooms were wanted, 90 they
were going to stop at Browns Hotel. Neverthe-
less Mrs. Vanderbilt won't to the Berkeley and
Mr.. Vanderbilt went 20 Browns, and they TO,
maincd at their respective hotels during the few
days they were In London.
Mr.. Vanderbilt hired Danesfeld House. the
magnificent estate Of Scott Murray on the
Thames, near Henley. for the summer. Mrs.
Vanderbilt went there in July and remained
until few days ago. Her husband was rarely
there. On Tuesday, Aug. 81, Mrs. Vanderbilt
left Dancsfeld, saying that she was eoin1 to
Join her husband In Paris and 20 with him to
German watering places. The servants, except
those in personal attendance upon her. remain
at Danesfed House. under instructions 20 waiu
for further orders.
Mr. Vanderbilt has been ut the Hotel Contis
mental In Paris for aweck past. Whether he
still intends to go TO Homburg and Carlsbad
with his wife. his friends in London are unable
to say. but they know nothing TO the contrary.
such is the only basis as far as Is known in
London. for the sensational stories about Me-
and Mrs, Vanderbilt.
