WILL MARRY MISS EIIKINS.
Duke of the AblRzzi Returning tG
Italy to Get Kings Consent.

Rome, March 21--The following ex-
planatiCn of the present situation with
regard to the reported engagement Of
iie Duke ct the Abruzzi and Katherine
Elhins' daughter Of Senator Elkins OF
West Virginia was obtained today
lom unimpeachable authority.
The Duke of the Abruzzi came to
Rome in February and dined with
King Victor Emmanuel. He did net
ask his majesty's consent to an en-
gagement with Miss Elkins. He did,
however, obtain leave of absence from
the minister of marine and went to
America
AS a matter of fact, it is learned
the Duke spoke to the king with re-
gard to the Elkin family some time
prior to this and with such persis-
tence that the king questioned him
specifically about the family but at no
time did he ask the consent Of TIE
king to his marriage with Miss Elk
ins.
1t Is because of this, when the first
news reached here from America, that
the court denied the engagement. Ev-
en- now, nothing officially is known of
the engagement, but 1t is admitted
lIlc1L "udL uco udppSnCO III IAO SAA~
ed States seems to be proof that the
Duke is determind to marry Miss Ell
kins, in which case it is believed the
king will give his consent without
restrictions as the real spirit of the
Italian law does not contemplate the
1enunciation of princely rights or a
morgantic marriage. The morgantic
marriage of Victor Emmanuel Ii. with
Rosa Vercellana, who became the
countess, of Mirafiore, was On excep-
ton.
1t is believed here that the Duke of
the Abruzzi is coming to italy to ask
the consent of the king. This delay
is not SO strange as would appear, as
it is understood that the duke intend
&c to arrange matters with the Elk
ins family privately before pleading
his suit with Victor Emmanuel. A de-
finite decision is not likely to be Civ
ell until after the duhe reaches Rome
about ADril 1St.

Washington, March 21.-Wfthout
being materially amended the forti

by the bureau today. During the
closing debate the war department
was criticised by SeYera! members re-
garGing the money spent on lorti
fications at Subig Bay which It was
charged was wasted in view Of
later recommendation that the de-
fenses at Cavite be ngthened.
Criticism likewise was offered to the
estimate of the department which re-
commended an appropriation of
over $50, 900, which it was stated
could not have been expended within
ten years. The democrats at one
time procured the adoption OF an
amendment permitting the secretary
Of war to purchase abroad ANY" war
material, but the republican leaders
soon rallied their members and then
reversed that action, leaving in the
bill restriction to limited guam
titles
At 5;45 p. m. the house ad-

ST. LOUIS THE VICTOR.
Defeated French Boat I'm Race Across
the Atlantic.

New York, March 2i.-SwinEing
by Sandy Hook late today with scc
propellers churning foamy wake
that laid the following course for her
beaten rival, the steamship st. Louis
of the American line defeated ths
French liner LaTouraine in most OF
the most exciting ocean races In trans
Atlantic steamship travel
LaTouraine left Havre, France,
about o'clock last Saturday morn
ing and the st. Louis departed from
Cherbourg eight hours later on her
voyage across the Atlantic. The Am
erican slowly crept up on LaTou-
raine and on Thursday afternoon the
two steamships raced along prov and
prov. The tunnels OF both steam
ships emitted dense clouds OF black
smoke and the passengers who lined
the rails knew that a contest was on.
For six hours the steamships hung
together, the cut water OF one and
the other forging out ahead. Greet
ipgs were exchanged by wireless be-
tween the passengers OF the liners
and several wagers were made as to
which vessel would make port first
Toward nightfall the st. Louis edged
her way to the front and began to
draw away from the Ice OF LaTou-
lorraine but II was nearly 10 o'clock
tEat night before the forward watch
on the Frenchman saw the lights OF
the st. Louis disappear behind the
rim OF the western horizon. The La
Touraine hung tenaciously TO the
Americans trail and though the
smoke of the ST I0uia was ganayaI- :
ly visible, the passengers on the
Frenchman did not again catch q
glimpse Of the St Louis until La
Touraine passed Sandy Hook this af-
ternoon just one hour and thirty
six minutes behind the American
steamer.
