THE SICK MAN RESTING COMFORTABLY AND Ap-
rARENTl-Y MAKING STEADY PROGRESS
TOWARD COMPLETE RECOVERY
fBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBuYEl
Newport, r. l.. July 27.-At The Breakers to-
day everybody wore an air OF cheerfulness and
satisfaction with the world at large and the
situation IN the house in particular which indi
Gated plainly favorable condition for the
master Of the house, Cornelius Vanderbilt. At
noon, when reporter called DR.. McLane had
left the premises for little time and had left
no message behind. While nothing definite
could he learned regarding the sick mans con-
dftion. the impression was strong In the house
that his improvement during the night and his
general condition after the ordeal Of the trip
from New-York were such as to surprise and
greatly crafty the physicians.
This evening In response 10 an inquiry, DR..
McLane said that Mr., Vanderbilt had passed a
remarkably good night Sunday after his ar
rival here. his condition had been excellent dur
ing the entiie day. he was thea resting COM
fortaby, and there was every indication of an
other favorable night tonight.
Mr.. Nanderbilts general condition is salts
factory and the outlook decidedly encouraging
for continued improvement and steady progress
toward complete recovery.
When Chauncey NJ Depew reached home at :
O'Clock last evening he found telegram awaiting
him from Newport which said that Cornelius VAN
derbt had not suffered the slightest discomfort
from the trip to Newport. and that his condition
had been growing steadily better ever since his
arrival. Mr. Depew said that Mrs Vanderbilt and
DR., McLane would remain with MT Nanderblit:
and that the physician would only leave Newport
when 1t assured that Mr.. Vanderbilt was really
beyond the need Of his attention.
1t reported yesterday that Cornelius Wander
bit Jr who has been i'll with rheuma tism. has de-
cided 10 take European trip in the hope OF gaming
relief from his trouble. Young Mr.. vanderbilt, as
is we'll known. is engaged 10 marry Miss Grace VII
son. The marriage was postponed owing TO MS SICK
ness. He Is improved In health, but the physicians
who have attended him have urged that he take
long rest and spend a few months In European
travel Mr.. Vanderbilt Jr.. has not wished 10 take
trip but now IL is said ne believes II may beneht
him and will go abroad as soon as IL Is a certainty
that his father will not need his presence here.
