but few minutes, and the mayor at once
drove down town to his office in city hall
The matter was conducted with great
quietness, and but for an oversight on the
part of the mayor the news might not
have been made public for some time.
AS 1t happened, when he left the car
riage in which he drove down town from
Mrs. Vanderbilt's house, he forgot to take
from the seat beside him the printed civil
marriage, which he has not yet learned by
heart.
The cabman drove off, and when the
mayor missed his little book he at once
sent messenger after 1t.
The cabby had found the telltale book,
and putting two and two together, gossip
ped with his brother jehus until soon the
news was spread broadcast.
Mayor Strong was too busy to 60 into
details when asked If it was really true
that he had been called upon to unite the
couple In marriage.
"Yes, SIR" he answered, "I married
Mrs. Vanderbilt and Mr.. Belmont this
morning at the brides home. There were
some people there, but 1 didn't know
many of them. They were, 1 believe, prin-
cipally friends of Mrs. Vanderbilt. No
body stood up with Mr.. Belmont. 1t
ulun Idht lOuB W uO bHb bTlCh, anu
drove down town from Mrs. Vanderbilt's 8
house shortly after 10 o'clock" "
The newly welded couple went at once
to Newport, where the first of the honey
moon will be passed.
March 5 last Mrs. Vanderbilt secured a
divorce from her husband. The decree was
granted on the statutory grounds 1t gave
Mrs. Vanderbilt an annual income Of
more than 5000, 900 and the custody of her
three children, Consuelo, W. X. Wander
bilt, Jr., and Harry Sterling Vanderbilt.
Mr.. Vanderbilt's defense was a mere for
mality.
When Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt was
married to the Duke of Marlborough, her
father gave her away at the altar. The
duke and duchess passed their honeymoon
at Mr.. Vanderbilt's place at Islip, N. Y.
oliver II. P. Belmont.
Oliver Belmont is as well known as any
man in society. Every club welcomes him.
He owns place at Newport called Bel
court, one Of the finest places of the kind
in America. 1t was built after designs by
the late r. NJ. Hunt.
Mr.. Belmont entertains lavishly. He
gave bachelor ball at Belcourt last sum-

Ex-senator and Ex-Minister Palmer Sayl
He Is Not In the Presidential Race.

Ex-senator and Ex-BIinister Palmer Says
He Is Not In the Presidential Race.
NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-Ex- Senator Thorn
as W. Palmer of Michigan, who is now In
the city, had long conference with ex-
President Harrison at the Fifth Avenue
hotel. After seeing General Harrison, Mr..
Palmer said, ain my judgment, General
Harrison will not be candidate for the
presidential nomination.
This statement is regarded by politi-
clans as important on account of the close
relations of personal friendship that have
long existed between the ex-president and
Mr.. Palmer. They served in the United
States senate together, and their intimacy
was of a marked character. After General
Harrison became president he intended
that Mr.. Palmer should have place in
his cabinet and proposed that he should
accept the post of secretary Of agriculture.
Mr.. Palmer, however, was bitterly op-
posed by General Alger and other Miohi-
gan Republicans. Mr.. Palmer declined to
place the president in position Of antag-
onism to the dominant faction Of the party
in Michigan, and General Harrison gave
the portfolio to General jeremiah Rusk Of
Wisconsin.

WASHINGTON Jan. 14.-Secretary Of
State Olney csbled Mr.. Munyon, United
States consular agent at Johannesburg, to
secure protection for all American citizens
there. Mr.. Olney has also sent a dispatch
to ambassador Bayard requesting him to
secure the good offices Of British represent
atives in South Africa for the same pur-
pose. .'
Mr.. Olney's dispatch to ambassador
Bayard is considered significant, showing
that, despite the somewhat strained feel
ings caused by the Olney note and the
presidents message on the Monroe, doc
trine, the relations between Great Britain
and the United States are cordial:
Secretary Olney has received a cable
gram saying that Colonial Secretary Cham
berlain gave assurances that he had in
structed her majesty g high commission
er, Sir Hercules Robinson, to extend the
same protection" in behalf OF John Hays
Hammond and any otherH American citi
zen involved in charges of rebellion in the
Transvaal as would be taken In the inter
est Of British subjects under like ciroum-
stances.

Harrison Has Nothing to Saw.

NEW YORK, Jan. 18.-Ex- President Har-
rison is at the Fifth Avenue hotel. When
he was seen by reporter, the general g
sole reply to inquiries was that he must
be excused, as he had nothing TO say. :"
When the question was put to him wheth-
er he was engaged to marry Mrs. Dim
mock, as has been reported, he said terse-
ly: 81 can neither affirm nor deny that.
l did not come to New York to get mar
ried." This was looked upon by many as
an admission that an engagement existed,
but that the date Of the marriage had not
been settled. There is no longer any rea-
son to doubt, close associates say, that an
engagement does exist between the gen
eral and the niece of his first wife, 1t was
learned from warm personal friend OF
the ex-president that date for his mar
riage to Mrs. Dimmock would be decided
upon this trip. 1t is intimated the mar
riage will take place before the end of Feb
ruary, and that he Will take his bride
west.
