MILLIONAIREs TO. ORIENT.
John Jacob Astor, With Other Rich
Americans, to Visit the East

New York, Dec 23.-J. J. Astor is the
last to conclude to start for the east
and the Nourmahal is already being
fitted out for a cruise that may be eX-
tended to the AntipOdes.
George Vanderbilt started for India
a few days ago.
Cornelius Vanderbilt left France for
Egypt this week.
The Bradley Martins are scheduled
for reign in the shadow of the
Sphinx. and Eugene Higgins, the car
pet knight and millionaire, has started
for the east in his big steam yacht.
Mr.. AstOr will make one of the unUs-
Ual tours that delight him. The NOur-
mahal will clear for Gibraltar or Mar
seilles late in January or early in Feb
ruary. Mr.. and Mrs AstOr will cross
in an ocean liner and with their party
meet the NOurmahal at one of the ports
named. They will then cruise in the
Mediterranean. Algiers will be their
plans. Then will follow Tunis and TrI-
poll, Cairo and Alexandria. The Astor
party may meet the VanderbiltS on a
trip up the Nile, which will be covered
in one of the Cook chartered steamers
if made.
Then Mr.. Astor will leave the beaten
track of yachtsmen. After visiting
COnstantinOple the NOurmahal will fly
the United States flag in the Black sea,
where only Mr.. Higgins yacht is yet
known to have displayed the New York
Yacht club pennant.
on its return the party will visit the
island of the Grecian archipelago, and
Venice, MeSsina and the Riviera will
round out a three months cruise.
Beyond these points Mr.. Astor has in
contemplation a trip to India with the
NOurmahal by way Of the Suez canal.
If business affairs do not demand his
return it is possible that the NOurma-
hal may reach Australian waters and
the trip be prolonged into next fall.

wide observation vestibule. The trains
are lighted throughout withs Pintsch
gas and equipped also with standard
and compartment sleeperS-
