VIII Withdraw.

VIII Withdraw.
CHICAGO, May 6.-Information has
reached here from an Eastern source
that is entitled to credence that in the
event of the Republicans in Indiana
failing this week to instruct for Nc
Kinley, General Harrison will imme-
diately withdraw from the position he
has heretofore assumed in relation to
the presidential campaign and will
place himself in the hands of his
friends.
Within "a hours of an official an
nouncement to that effect, the with
drawal from the field of Reed, Morton
and probably Quay will be officially de-
clared in favor of the Indiana candi-
date.
1t is not expected that Allison or
Bradley will follow suit, but the ma
tural result of such Withdrawals would
be to clear the decks for decisive
contest between the ex-president and
the ex-governor of Ohio.

MISS WILSON TOO OLD.
reason for Cornelius Vanderbilt
ObiectiQu to His San,s Marriaao

reason for Cornelius VanderbiIt's
objection to His Sons Marriage.
New York, June 15.-Those who have fol-
lowed the career of Cornelius Vanderbilt
ana know the character Of the man have
been sure for the past week that there was
some good reason for his objection to the D..
marriage of his son, Cornelius, Jr and
Miss Grace Wilson, daughter of Richard T.
watson. There have been all sorts of con-
lectures among the upper ten, but those.
In position to be best informed declare that
the objection is found in the DISPARITY be-.
tween the ages of the pair.
The prospective bride is just eleven years
older than her husband-to-be, if one may
take her own words for it, and those whose
social memories extend as far back as 1884
will do so. They remember distinctly the
season or twelve years ago when the bride :
OF today went about among her friends
boasting that she was then a full grown
Woman-21 years old. According to that She.
must be 80 years old. Cornelius Vanderbilt,
Jr., Is a little past his twenty-second BIRTH
day. His father, therefore, bases his OBJ
lection upon the disparity in the ages of the.
pair.
There is nothing weak about Cornelius.
Vanderbilt, and those who talk of speedy
forgiveness will be disappointed, no doubt
One thing is certain-the Vanderbilts of
Cornelius line will not be at the wedding
on Thursday. Not more than fifty persons
in all. exclusive of the immediate bridal
party, are to receive the cards of invitation
There is still much doubt as to who the.
guests will be. Those who are favored will
have to cancel their engagements in a hurry
for the ceremony will be performed in the
drawing-room of the Wilson home at thirty
minutes past noon on Thursday, rain or
shine.
