The Late William III. Vanderbilt and
His Father
Cincinnati Enquirer)


The recent death Of Mrs. William III.
Vanderbilt In New York has been the oc-
casiOn for the printing IN the New Crk
papcrs Of a great deal about her and her
DISTINGUISHED husband. II was the read
ing of one of those articles that led a
prominent gentleman in this city 10 recite
an experience he had with the late VII
liam VI. He had concluded negotiations
with the railroad masnate IN very large
deal and was his guest at his country
home for the night. Mr.. Vanderbilt grew
very talkative after the dinner, and re-
cited a number Of very interesting Incl
dents In his early life. He especially dwelt
unon the troubles that he had with his
father and told how the old Commodore
had ostracized him, both for the reason
that he did not think him possessed OF
any business tact and that he had mar
ried against his wishes Mr.. Vanderbilt
said that the Commodore told him he
could live on a farm that he owned on
Staten Island, and that that was all he
would do toward his support. Some time
after that when their circumstances were
unusually poor and they We're having
decided struggle for a living. the son went
into his fathers office. During the CONVEX
sation that ensued the old gentleman in
quired OF the son how his farm was doing.
The latter replied that the crop was not
good, and the farm seemed to need fertll-

and he wrote out an order upon his sta
bleman for the one load. The next day the
Commodore went TO his place and was
surprised to see the entire collection had
disappeared. Where has that gOneg' he
asked OF his stable hand.

II appears that William II. upon getting
the order had secured the assistance of
one OF the fiatboats used a great deal by
Staten Islanders and had had Il taken up
back OF the old mans place and all OF the
refuse was loaded onto II. This seemed
to open the old mans eyes. for a day or
two after that he paid the first visit he
had In months to his sons residence, and
soon after that his son was ordered TO
the city, where he ever afterward lived.

VICTORIA, Il. c., November 25.-The
opening Of the Boring Sea Claims Com,
mission witnessed some preliminary
fencing between Hon. y. c. Peters. the
senior British counsel. and Hon. Don NJ.
Dickinson, senior counsel for the United
States. Formal proceedings were opened
and Chandler T. Anderson, OF New York,
was chosen secretary. The rules OF
procedure were then taken up Both
sides agreed on all but one, and here
they were Numerically opposed Mr..
Peters wanted the Canadian claims dealt
with singly, but to this Mr.. Dickinson
strongly objected. arguing that the Brit
ish seaiers should put in all their
claims and then the United States au-
thorities would submit their defence at
san Francisco. Mr. Peters replied that
II might not be necessary to sit at San
Francisco.
The point was finally settled in favor
of the British contention. Sixteen Brit
ish claims. with total of Si59,5O) and
with interest added from the time Of
seizure, were filed yesterday, and ten
more will follow to-day.
