BY Telegraph.-Fres’ association Copyright.

New York, November 21.

Mr.- Cornelius Vanderbilt, junior, in a copyright i article in the “New York American” to-day, says that his cousin Consuelo was “sold by the heirarchy, better known as- the Four Hundred, in which her parents were the dominant factor's,” to the Duke of Marlborough, the annulment of whose marriage with Consuelo Vanderbilt by the • Roman Catholic Church recently created an international stir.' He sa’ys:—“lt is no family, .secret now to tell that Consuelo, when forced to marrv the Duke of Marlborough, was in love with an American, a handsome young man who later made a name for himself greater than he' inherited, and greater than that of the man she was forced to marry.” Concluding with a condemnation of the penchant ' of wealthy American families for “princely marriages,” _he says:—“There is one family in New York which in the past ten years has exerted everv effort to form an alliance with the British' Crown. If the Parliament in Britain were to set aside a certain ceremony required _ precedent to such a marriage, it is possible that a New York girl not so distantly related from the writer would become the future Queen of England.”
