 CLANS YESTERDAY.


 The Patient Passes Restless Night and
 His Condition Is Less Favorabie-state-
 ment by MT. Whitney-Mr Depew Will
 Probably Return From Europe. New York, July 16.-The condition of
 MT Cornelius Vanderbilt was not so
 promising for his recovery this morn
 ing as 1t was yesterday. He did not
 get much sleep during the night, and
 l)r. McLaue was in constant attend ance,
 The first bulletin posted at the Fifty seventh street entrance to MT, Wander bilts house was put up at 9:30 o'clock. It read:
 MT. Vanderbilt passed restless night, and his condition this morning
 Is less favorable than it was yester- day"
 The bulletin was posted after Dr. Me
 Lane, MT Vanderbilt's family physi-
 elan, and Drs. Janeway and Draper had held consultation in a room ad- joining MT. Vanderbilt's. Drs. Jane
 way and Draper arrived early. After the first bulletin had been post
 ed carriages began to arrive in rapid
 succession. There were five that came
 almost together. The first contained a woman and man. The next three
 one man. All of the visitors were ad-
 nitted and received the fullest details
 of MT. Vanderbilt's condition. MT. William c. Whitney, whose son
 is engaged to Mr. Vanderbilt's daugh- ter, was one of the first callers. Mir. Whitney lives on the opposite corner to MT. Vanderbilt's house. Mir. Whit ney said:
 q talked with the physicians in att tendance on MT. Vanderbilt and also with members of the family for about I twenty minutes, but I did not go into l the sick room, since it is absolutely es- sential that Mir. Vanderbilt have entire 1 quiet.
 | MT Vanderbilt can speak this morn ing, but he evidently feels considerably weaker His weak condition is partly | due to loss of sleep and the intense hu- midity in the atmosphere.
 "The noises from the street ascend | " HE AooAt WILL tA iplCh iiAtClASttJ oliA bother the patient greatly The tan bark which we have, had spread over the asphalt in the side streets on eith- CT side of the house to deaden the
 sound of vehicles is not effective. We 1 intend now to try to have traffic stop. i ped in the immediate neighborhood of
 the house until there is a turn for the better in MT vanderbilt's condition" Curious persons began to gather near 1 the Vanderbilt house early, and by noon quite crowd had assembled. There was a prospect that if 1t kept on increasing so rapidly the police 1 would have to interfere. Men and wo-
 men stood along Fifth avenue look l ing through the iron picket fence and staring at the walls of the house.
 They showed deep interest in all that l was going on, and questioned every one who left either entrance. | A gentleman who is very closely as- sociated with MT. Vanderbilt said when
 seen at the Grand Central depot this morning, that he had private advices to the effect that MT. Vanderbilt's con- dition is really serious, and that the
 crisis has not yet passed.
 l The same gentleman also said that while there was no official announce ment ready as to when Dr. Depew will sail from Europe for this city, he ex- poets that he will start for home on i Saturday Such was also the belief of persons in MT. H. Walter Webb's of- | flee.
 l pr. Janeway and w. D. Sloane, MT. Vanderbilts brother-in-law, left the | house at HAS o'clock. Dr. Janeway said then that MT. Vanderbilt's condi- tion was the same as when the bulletin was posted. He said that the doctors would hold consultation at o'clock 1 this afternoon.
 As an indication of MT. Vanderbilt's $ serious condition messages were this afternoon sent to some absent mem
 bers of the family requesting them to come home immediately. Dr. W. Sew ard Webb and Mrs. Webb replied that | they would leave Shelburne Farms, Shelburne, Vt, immediately, and they expected to arrive in this city tonight. l Mrs Hamilton Mex. Twombly and Mrs. Frederick w. Vanderbilt are ex- Ipected to arrive this afternoon. George w. Vanderbilt, it was announced, had | left Biltmore, his country place near Asheville N. C., and would arrive here 1 tonight or tomorrow Miss Gertrude 1 Vanderbilt came home last night, so I that by to-rhorrow probably all of the l members of the family will be at MT. Vanderbilt's bedside.
