Why the Duchess of Albany and Lord
Rosebery Did Not Wed Long Ago.

NEW YORK. July ia London dispatch
to the World relative TO the reported be-
trothal of the Duchess of Albany to the
Earl of Rosebery says: THE announce
ment is not unexpected. The widowed
duchess and the bereaved earl would have
been married long ago had not the Queen
declined to countenance the union. So
strongly did her Majesty insist that in the
seventeen years that have elapsed since
the death of Prince Leopold. Duke of AL
bany. the duchess has avoided society and
devoted her life to the rearing of her
son and daughter. She invented a pecu-
liarly-shaped school seat. for which she
received a gold medal, and which is now in
general use. In the midst of her studies,
her schemes for charity and social reforms,
she became interested in the earl. She
made a mild attempt to win the Queen
over to consent to their marriage. The
Queen would not hear of it and. as the
duchess was dependent on an allowance
made through her mother-in-law's will and
did not wish to offend her. she resigned her
self to the inevitable. All is easy now, as
the Prince of Wales, the present King,
was always on terms of closest intimacy
with the Earl of Rosebery. Within the
last few days the King has had a long
interview with the earl"
