ROME, March e. 1905.


ROME. March q. 1908.
<If am not surprised is the COM
ment most frequently heard here
among Italians on the reported
engagement Of the Duke Of Abruzzi and
Miss Elkins, the daughter of a United
States senator
In fact. looking back. one can see that
the princes whole life has been leading
up to something of the kind. It is quite
safe to say that there is not another
royal prince in Europe who has known
commoners all over the world as init
mately as the Duke Of the Abruzzi. He

on an equality with the best. but never
using his rank to his own advantage. In
the navy it was the same. He was on
friendly terms with all, and mingled with
all sorts and conditions of men, his ex-
perience making him a perfect man Of the
world and conSummate Judge of his
fellow creatures.
The Italians know him less than any
other Of the royal princes, because he is
SO seldom here If not off on one of his
expeditions he is on a man-Of-War, and
only comes to his native land off and on,
but they are intensely proud of him be-
cause Of his very real achievements, and
the endurance, almost superhuman, which
he has shown in so many different ways
In Alaska, at the north pole, and on the
RuwenzoT, in Africa.
*
When the dukes friends wish to get a
rise out of him they declare that he is not
an Italian at all. How can the son of
the King Of Spain be Italian?" they cry,
and. in fact, the duke. although the son
of Prince Amadeo. brother of King Hum
bert and for two years King of Spain,
was born in the royal palace at Madrid.
in the room which Queen Victoria now
uses as a nursery for the crown prince,
and he was then third in succession to the
throne. This mode of reasoning rouses
him to great wrath, especially as since
his first year he has never again been in
Spain.
He showed young of what metal he was
made by his ascent of Mount ST. Ella in
Alaska, but far more interest was shown
in his arctic expedition. in 1899, when he
was only twenty-six years old, especially
as it was an open secret that he was
spending a good deal more than he could
afford, and that it would leave his re-
sources much crippled. The whole royal
family encouraged and helped forward the
project. The DOwager Queen Margherita
was then reigning, and took the prettiest
