WILLIAM K. IN CHARGE.

Death Of the Head of the Family Will
Not Affect Vanderbilt Properties.
NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-"Mr. Wander
bilt's death will have no effect upon the
Vanderbilt prop (Rties," said Senator
Depew in an interview. william K.
Vanderbilt, with his brothers full con-
sent, took his position at the head Of
the estate some two years ago.
The mem bers of the family are yet in
ignorance of the provisions Of the will.
Mr.. Depew said that William K. Van
derbilt is in charge of everything, as he
is at the head of the family. A gentle
man familiar with the Vanderbilt in
terests said:
mo one knows the exact value of
Cornelius Vanderbilt's estate. Although
he kept his properties carefully Item
lied, he could not t,ll their value as
the values huctuated. His estate in
creased about one-third in value during
the last IL months. I do not think the
general public will be made acquainted
with the. items. Mr.. Vanderbilt left
some large sums to charitable purposes,
undoubtedly, and this figure may be
published. - * A, II "a. ~

Influence Of the Orange Free

gers Reply. 80, =

CAPE Town, Sept. 14.-It is asserted,
in Afrikander circles here that the
Transvaal government will accept the
British note, leaving the question Of
suzerainty on the basis of the conven-,
ton of 1894. m4g-5
The report as to the time limit of 48
hours arose from the fact that the Brit
ish diplomatic agent at Pretoria, CO.
nyngham Green, in presenting Mr..
Chamberlain's dispatch expressed g
hope that reply would be given by.
the Transvaal government by Thurs
day. IL
The Cape Times and the Cape Argus
both consider the British note generous
and conciliatory and all the papers,:
including the Krugerite organs, assume
that the Transvaal will comply with
the British demands.
1t is believed that the Orange Free
State volksraad will be summoned to
consider the situation. =.
Military Developments continue and
the work of preparing for emergencies
goes on.
Upon the arrival of the next batch Of
British troops the headquarters Of the
royal artillery will be transferred
to Kimberly, whittier a battery will
proceed to protect the diamond mines.

SLIGHTLY AGGRESSIVE,
Chamberlain Note to Kruger Not Con-
sldered an Ultimatum.

Chamberlain Note to Kruger Not Con-
sldered an Ultimatum.
LONDON, Sept. 14.-A representative
of the Associated Press learns that the
British message to the Transvaal does
not demand reply in 40 hours, the ex-
act wording being request for IAN
immediate reply" The message is not
an ultimatum, in the generally ac-
cepted sense of the word. It expresses
the hope that President Kruger will &C
cept the propositions to relieve tho
present tension"
The only part which is at all aggres-
sive is the reiterated decl1nation Of the
British government to discuss the mat
ter of sovereignty in any shape or form.
The Times regards Mr.. Chamber
lain's dispatch as "clear, resolute and
earnest, without being peremptory, not
necessarily an ultimatum, but q pre-
lude to an ultimatum should the Trans
vaals reply prove unfavorable.
This fairly represents tho feeling Of
London morning papers. Even the
Daily Chronicle, which is virtually pro-
Kruger in its sympathies, urges the
Beers to accept 1.-THE imperial govern
ment's reasonable demands, which
threaten no ulterior danger to the inde-
pendence of the Transvaal."

"WeM. l have" said the reporter.
1.-The star actor in the little affair was q
lumberman too. BE doesn't live herea-
bouts now, and l suppose it would be
safe to tell tho story. This lumberman
conceived the idea that he was a very
valuable and popular citizen in the COM
munity where he lived.
1.-THE hallucination was unshared by
any Of his fellow beings, but it had such
q firm hold on his mind that on one occa-
sion, when he was In New York, he de-
cided to wire homo that he had been
found dead merely to get a chance to Pc
ruse the eulogies he felt certain would
appear in the local papers.
"He intended. of course, to telegraph
later on that it was oil mistake. Well,
he sent bis first message, signing some
fictitious name, and awaited develop
ments. In \ couple Of days the local pa
pers came to hand, and when he read
them he nearly had fit. They had ut
once adopted the theory that he died
from the results Of n big spree and print
ed a spicy resume Of his past career to
support the hypothesis. They also init
mated that the community could struggle
along very nicely without him.
AFTER he had dgested these pleasing
tributes he concluded not to send the 9TH
er telegram. but to return in person and
pay his respects to the editors.
II forget now which licked. but the
affair was the talk Of the section for
months and effectually cured the lumber
