VANDERBILT'S FUNERAL.
NEW YORK. Sept. 13.-The funeral
of Cornelius Vanderbllt, who died yes
terday, is to be held Friday In St.
Bartholomew's church. The death mask
waa taken tonight by a representative
of Augustus St. Gaudens, who will
make a bust.
'Mr. Vanderbllfa death will have no
effect on the Vanderbllt properties,"
said Chauncey M. Depew today. "Wll
Ham K. Vanderbllt. with hla brother's
consent, took his position at their head
two years ago."
Friend of the family are yet In ig
norance of the provisions of the will,
Depew said, William K. Vanderbllt is
in charge of everything. It Is probable
that several trust funds have been
formed under the will, so that the es
tate may be entailed for at least two
goneratlons
ia an American troopship, although she
la flying the British flag, and Is not
subject to the merchant shipping act.
The authorities have been discussing
the matter all day and It Is very prob
ably that 450 of the soldiers on board
w til be left behind when she la .finally
permitted to sail for San Francisco.
Several of tbe discharged soldiers on
board the Tartar filed the complaints
of her unsanitary condition which
started the proceedings to detain the
vessel.
TROOPS AT THE PRESIDIO.
SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. IS. There

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Seeretary

Bristol, SiK) men. These ships are avail
ROOT NOT ADVISED.
NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-A special to
the Herald from Washington, says:
Secretary Root has received no ad
vices reg.inling the action of the Hong
kong authorities In detaining the
transport Tartar because of her alleged
overcrowded condition. The Tartar
has 1230 men on board and this num
ber Is not sufficient to overcrowd her.
Even if ahe were overcrowded, accord
ing to General Ludington, quorter-master-genoral,
the British authorities
would have no grounds for demanding
that 450 men be removed from the
ship, as she Is an American naval ves
sel, subject to American jurisdiction
only.
If the governor of Hongkong has de
tained the Tartar, representations will
probably be made to Great Britain on
the subject.
CAPE TOWN, Sept M. The Car
Time and Cape Argus, both consider
British note generoua and conciliatory
and all papers Including Krugerlte or-
gana assume that the Transvaal will
comply with British demands. It la
believed the Orange Free State and
the Volkaraad will be summoned to
consider the situation.
Military developments continue and
the work of preparation for emergen
cies goes on.
