THE DEAD MILLIONAIRE.
Relations With His Son--The Fun
eraI and the Will.

New York, Sept 14.-Dr. Chaunceg
MI. Depew, who was believed to have
been largely responsible in bringing
about a reconciliation between Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, the dead, and Cor
nellus Vanderbilt. the living his son.
was asked IL he could tell the story OF
that reconciliation.
My dear boy" said the genial Ser
ator to the reporter, there IS no story
OF a reconciliation to tell. The relation
existing between Mr.. Vanderbilt and
young Cornelius before the formers
death were fair. That's the word
fair. For several weeks he has called
at his fathers house and been wei.
coined there, and on several occasions
he has eaten at his fathers table
What brought about this reconcilia-
tiong'
well, there isn't any story In IL. 1t
Is true that as time lapsed they be
came more or less reconciled Their
relations were faif-that's the word.
Very shortly after the death Of the
father Mrs. Vanderbilt had telegram
sent TO Newport summoning young
Cornelius 10 New York. He replied
that he would be here by the first train
and he came on at once He came M
and saw the body, and think he spent
the night IN his fathers house. But
! will not be certain AS TO this; | mere
ly think So"
The reporter subsequently learned
that young Cornelius spent the night at
his own home. COS Fifth avenne. He
left Immediately after breakfast to re-
join his mother.
The will or Cornelius Vanderbilt will
be read Friday IT was definitely All
nounced that the funeral would be held
at 1920 o'clock Friday. The body Will
then be taken by special boat from the
foot of East Fortysecond street to New
Dorp. DR. Greer will accompany the
remains and perform the burial rites
at the tomb.
The services, marked by simplicity.
can scarcely fail TO be deeply and in
tensively impressive. They will be held
in ST. Bartholomew. at Madison ave-

Pardon for Dreyfus.

Paris. Sept IA pardon for Drey-
fuS is regarded by some persons in au-
thority here as almost a certainty in
the near future. President Loubet. II
is expected, will exercise his constitu
tional right of individual pardon, and,
acting on the ''eXtenuating circum-
stances" plea of the Rennes court-mar-
tial. restore To Dreyfus his freedom.
This graceful act would be followed by
n policy which the boulevards already
sneak of as the sponge All old
scandals would he wiped off the slate
The pending trials which originated III
the Dreyfus affair viii be reduced "a
mere formalities In fact "A general
amnesty for the anti-Dreyfusites, the
Dreyfusards the Royalist conspirators
and all political spitfires would b,
granted All this. it is believed, would
go to clear up the situation and work
toward heading off the threatened In
ternational boycott of the Paris EX
position in 1900.
