the greatest reticence in regard to the
movements and dofngs OF the duke,
averring that he was travelling in his
private capacity of a gentleman. whose
personal affairs were nobody's bust
ness but his own. For this reason
only the scantiest possible Information
respecting his doings here have been
made public. Early yesterday the
duke took leave of his host and hostess
and went to New York.
Embassy Gives out Statement.
In view. however. OF the various pub
locations respecting the dukes visit to
this country and particularly to Wash
frgtun. and the reputed results. the
italian ambassador consented yester-
day to give out. through his secretary,
an informal statement. It was sub
stantiaIly as follows:
THE question of an engagement is a
private matter and nobody has right
to know anything about it. The state
ment that there was meeting of the
Elkins family at the italian embassy
several nights ago is absolutely false.
No member of the E1kins family has
been at the embassy either during the
dukes visit or for a long period prior
to that time.
THE duke was in this country on a
regular leave of absence. granted him
by the minister OF marine. while his
vessel is undergoing some improve
ments. The vessel is at Spezzia, one
of the principal Italian ports. The
dukes leave is now exhausted and he
goes back to resume command of his
vessel. The duke is leaving on the
best terms with his acquaintances and
friends. To some of them lie has Civ
EN- assurances that he will be back in
the near future.
Therefore, statements published
here and in various parts of the United
States concerning the dukes visit and
its result are Incorrect and show lack
Of kindness and courtesy"
The latest reports in circulation here
seem to foreshadow a denial that an
engagement exists between the Duke
Of Abruzzi and Miss Katherine EIkins.
daughter OF United States Senator Ste
phen B. EIkins, of West Virginia.

In bis TENTH circular OF tnfurma-
ton Just issued State superintend.

to the complete revision OF the school
laws Of the state. and says that while
no extremely radical changes were
made, the conflicts and antiquities OF
the old law have been removed. be
sides providing for a number of adj
yancetl steps in our educational work.
In concise form the State supertn,
tendent has reviewed the new law
for the teachers aud school officers
who receive the monthly circular Of
information from his Office. Among
other important notations attention
is called to the fact that new law
does not go into effect till the Both

in accordance with the old law ap

teach in graded and high schools will
be required to pass upon those sub.

follows:

At 4 recent meeting OF the execu-
tive committee of the West Virginia
educational association. the time for
the annual session which Is to be

siderntion IS the meeting of the ma

these two dates do not directly con-

put some of our leading educational
workers to quite an inconvenience In
their plans to reach both places. In
connection also with this change. 1t
