Preparations for the Vanderbilt
French wedding at Newport.

NEWPORT, r. l., Jan. u-Today was
the worst day Newport has experienced
this winter, but it in no way interfered
with the arrangements for the Wander
t-French wedding. 1t has rained all
day, and as fast as it fell the rain froze,
making the sidewalks and streets a sheet
Of ice. Mr. Vanderbilt went for Miss
French early this morning in an electric
brougham, and with General and Mrs.
Eaton they visited the city.
Mr.. Vanderbilt. before leaving. provided
himself with a bucket of sand, and at all
stopping places he sprinkled it on the
sidewalk that his prospective bride might
not slip on the ice. While out Mr.. Van
derbilt had a novel experience with the
automobile. The streets got so slippery
that the rubber tires refused to work.
Every time Mr.. Vanderbilt would turn on
the current the wheels would revoiye. but
the carriage remained stationary. Word
was sent to the power house and men
came and wound the tires with rope. when
the machine. queer looking object pro-
ceeded On its journey.
Miss French is not superstitious. Fri
day is as lucky with her as any other day,
and she did not hesitate when Mr.. Van
derbilt asked her this afternoon to ac-
company him to procure a marriage IL
cense. They were driven to the city hall
and took out the license which is num-
bered 3,070.
Miss French gave her age as twenty
one years, her place OF residence as New
York City, and siened her name Ellen
French In the declaration the birthplace
of the applicant mother is asked for,
but neither Mr.. Vanderbilt nor, Miss
French was able to answer the question.
Some of the wedding party arrived today.
Robert l.. Gerry and Frederick u. Davies.
two of the ushers are here. Mr. and Mrs.
william E. Shepard and children arrived

THE ASPHALT CONTROVERSY.
Danger of Trouble with Venezuela
Not Yet Ayerted.

Developments in the Venezuela asphalt
controversy yesterday tend to show that
the threatened trouble has not been
ayerted, but that, on the contrary. a con-
fiict is likely to result between the Vene-
zuelan soldiers and the armed force of
the trust. Should this occur. it is believed
that this Government, by reason of the
position il has taken, would be drawn
into serious complications with Venezuela
Advices received from Minister LOOMS
yesterday, it is understood indicate that
the Venezuelan Government is not in
clined to act in accordance with the
wishes of the State Department as con-
tained in the instructions sent to the
United States Minister at Caracas. This'
Government has taken the position, in
supporting the claims of the Asphalt
Trust that the matter should be decided
by the Venezuelan courts, and that arbi-
trary action by the Venezuelan executive
should not be taken against the New York
and Bermudez Company, a part sof the
trust.
The representatives of the trust who
have appeared at the State Department in
the matter have contended that the first
attempt made by the Venezuelan Gov
eminent to dislodge the New York and
Bermudez Company from its claim was
the abrogation OF the companys conces-
sions. They have asserted that the com
pany appealed to the courts which rem
dered a decision, holding that there was
no warrant for the Governments action.
and that the concession could only be alb
rogated by judicial proceedings. and not by
the executive. AfteTward, it is asserted.
the President of Venezuela attempted to
dispossess the company under the conten-
ton that the asphalt deposits which the
company was working we're not within the
bounds Of the concession which had been
granted to it by the Government. There
upon the authorities granted other parties
new concession of the disputed terri
tory which was acquired by the Warner
quinlan Company. II is the possession Of
this territory which is now in dispute.
= The State Department some time ago
accepted the represeDtatio made by the
trust and instructed Minister LOOMS 10
insist upon having the controversy sub
mitted TO the courts to determine the
right of possession. This. 1t Is indicated
In the despatch received from Mr. Loomis
yesterday, the Venezuelan Government is
not disposed to do.
While il is believed that no positive re-
fusal has been made by the Venezuelan
Government to act in accordance with the
wishes of the United States, yet it is
stated that the Venezuelan authorities Go
not take kindly to the suggestion of this
Government interfering in the matter,
and are disposed to consider The final de-
csion in the matter rendered.
The trust insists that it will not yield,
and the only manner in which it can be
dispossessed is by force. This is regard
ed as certain to bring on a conflict. II
this Government continues to back up the
trust in its claims it is feared that the
friendly relations of the two countries
may be broken.

Threatened Attack of RevoIutionists
Did Not Occur.

According to advices received yesterday

turbances in that vicinity have quoted

A few days ago Mr.. Gudger reported that

Panama with the intention of attacking

sary to repeat its warning of last sum
mer, when Panama was threatened also
that it would not permit any interference
