| sip In the postponement of the wedding
which was to have united these house
| holds. The New York Journal today says
Many wedding presents were received at
| the Wilson home yesterday. 1t was SAID
that the present of Cornelius Vanderbilt,
! jr.. had also been received, his order for
| its delivery not having been countermand-
| ed after the postIonement was agreed up
on. On very good authority ii was said
yesterday that the ere has been q vigorous
| correspondence during the past week be-
| tween Cornelius Vanderbilt and II. T Will
son. and that the postr onem ent of the
wedding was due, rot to the illness of
young Cornelius, but to an agreement be-
| tween all members of beth the Vanderbilt
and Wilson families. Mr.. Wilson is credit
| ed with the belief that the opposition of
Cornelius Vanderbilt to the marriage was
not suppose that it would take the form of
| a public complaint. When 1t did reach
| that stage. Mr.. Wilson requested explana-
TONS They were given, and are said TO
have beer partially satisfactory. The elder
Vanderbilt is said to have urged his sons
youth and inexperience with the world as
the principal reason for his opposition to
| the marriage, and to have said that the
| alliance would not be distasteful 10 him If
his son. a little later in life. still held the
same opinion. If, however, his son per-
| sisted in dfsregarding his wishes he would
disinherit him. From this point suggestions
of compromise naturally developed, ard
| it was eventually agreed that the wedding
| should be temporarily postponed. and af-
| terward delayed for a year. After that
/ period of reflection. If young Vanderbilt
and Miss Wilson desired to marry, they
| might do so with the full sanction of Mr..
| Vanderbilt. Aside from the correspondence
| there has been no communication between
| the Vanderbilt and Wilson families since
| have called at the Vanderbilt house since
