No Definite Announcement Is Expected by Elkins Family in the Very Near
 Future,
NO M0RGANATIC MARRIAGE
Subject of Special Dowry Has Not Been Broachcd-AfTair Has Ap- preached Trousscau
 Stage.

f,lklns, Va, Nov. 9 While increas- ed interest seems lately to have cen tered in the reported engagement of Miss Katherine Elkins, daughter of United States Senator stephen R El- kins, and the Duke of the Abruzzi, 1t is declared here today in circles close to the Elklns household that there has been no change in the status of affairs during the last several months and that no definite announcement of any sort Is to be expected in the very near future.
 There Is absolutely no disposition here to deny the strong attachment | that exists between the young Italian nobleman and Miss Elkins, but that the 1 affair has approached the trousseau l stage is now here admitted. 1t Is fur ther pointed out that if there ever should be a formal announcement fl would come, according to court eti. quette, in an official statement from Rome.
 There are so many considerations en tering into a proposed marriage of thi sort aside from the personal wishes Q
 the young people Involved that ever
 Miss Elkins closest girl friends her
 are not discussing the matter with ; view to early eventuallties, while tha
 young lady herself, a typical and loya
 American girl, In all her views, anc modes of life, is enjoying herself Il
 buoyant spirits with gallops into tn mountains amongst which she wa
 reared and in hunting trips with he : brothers who are no more enthusiast
 than she over the joys of out of doors
 The many unauthorized and specula tive stories that have been printed re
 garding the affairs, have been yer,
 annoying to Senator Elkins and tn members of his family This was espe
 clally true of the report that nor
 ganatic marriage had been suggested
 It Is declared with emphasis that ther = has never been the slightest intimatio of such an arrangement and non , would be considered for moment Tn report that Miss Elkns had ordered = rousseau is declared to be without tn ; slightest foundation. lt Is also decar
 cd that talk of special dowry is on
 tirely erroneous and that such a sub feet has never been preached | II Is finally stated that correspond \ ence between Turin and EllSns ha been confined solely to the Duke an Miss Elkins herself, This being tn case t Is pointed out that many of th published stories have not only bee erroneous but unjust to the young peo pie.
 Senator Elkins has set no 'definit date for his departure to Washington

ANTICIPATING MR.. RYAN.

Mr.. Bryan's tour of observation In
New Jersey is to be anticipated by a
gathering of the Democratic faithful
who are not convinced that 1t would
be polite to nominate for a third time
for President the candidate who twice
led the Democratic party to disastrous
defeat. 1t Is expected hat several
Democratic national leaders will be
present at a banquet to be given in the
New Auditorium on January 30, and it
is possible that then and there a n
didate opposed to Mr.. Bryan will be
named.
1t is possible, indeed, that the atti-
tude of the New Jersey Democracy :ay
decide the Presidential nomination at
Denver. This State may be regarded as
a political barometer for the East. 1t is
right in the heart of the East, it re-
fleets the thought of all the North At
lantic States, and it is necessary to a
Democratic candidate. OF what avail
is it that a candidate shall be chosen
by the votes of strong Republican
States of the West, when the wishes of
the Democrats of New Jersey, New
York and Connecticut are disregarded?

A SURGICAL

The far-reaching Importance of the
surgical feat accomplished by Professor
Simon Flexner, of the Rockefeller In
stitute for Medical Research, who has
succeeded after WI years of expert
ment in transplanting arteries from one
animal to another, can hardly be over
estimated. OF course, 1t will need much
further experimenting before a similar
operation a be performed upon man,
but that that ultimately will come is
not to be doubted.
When it does come many diseases of
the arteries now regarded as incurable
will become durable. Thousands of suf-
ferers from tumors will have their suf-
ferings permanently relieved. 1t Is yet
to be proved that the artery trans
planted from a lower animal could
Withstand the blood pressure in a man.
The whole thing is. in fact, still very
much in the experimental stage. But
the discovery is epocha1 in medical cir
cles none the less.
1t has often been remarked that the
science of combating human disease
has not kept pace with advances in
other sciences, For that reason dis
coveries like that of DR.. Flexner are
all the more gratifying.

MINING

Revised statistics of deaths from
mine disasters during the year just
closed place the total at 3,0S6. with
2,721 persons seriously injured, and fully
a quarter of the killing was done last
month, when several explosions &C.
Cured in coal mines in various parts of
the country. AS has been shown before,
the mortality from mine accidents
in the United States greatly exceeds
that of any country in Europe, even in
proportion to men employed.
The conclusion must be that, notwith-
standing our boosted up-to-dateness in
safety appliances and precautions, we
are behind Europe in the care exercised
for the safeguarding of the life of the
miner. The unprecedented number of
fatalities in the closing month of 1907
should impress upon lawmakers the
necessity for more stringent laws and
regulations for guarding miners at their
work. Heavy penalties enforced for
gross negligence and carelessness, to
which perhaps most of these disasters
are due, ought to lessen the number CT
fatalities.

successful in the scholarship, thus de-
monstrating the ~all-around development
which the endowment was made to
encourage. Several achievements of
distinction have been won, the Chan
cellor's Latin prize being especially
notable among the other coveted prizes
and scholarships that have fallen to
the scholars on the Rhodes foundation.
The first batch of scholars to graduate
secured a commendable proportion of
high grades in the various honor
schools. That their honors were earned
in the distinctively intellectual courses,
literature and the humanities, fore
shadows a dissemination of English
culture which was a main object in the
establishment of the fund. Indeed,
from the report of the trustees. it
seems that the success of the project
has been complete, and that the ideals
of Cecil Rhodes, who wished to pro-
mote the harmony and unity of the
entire English-speaking race, to stimu-
late educational life at Oxford and
spread English culture to the four cor
ners of the earth, are certain of re-
alization.

T AND CANNON
DIFFER ON ADJOURNMENT

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. g.
"Uncle Joe" Cannon's plan to wind up
the session and send 'the boys home
to look after their Congressional fences
before the end of April, regardless Of
what legislation may be accomplished,
doesn't commend itself to the anti-ad-
ministration Republicans of the Senate.
The latter think they can score
against the game of Presidential poll
tics by remaining in Washington with
their hands on the wire-ends until the
last delegate has been elected to the
Republican national convention. This
will not be until about the middle of
May, and hence they figure that Uncle
Joe" and the boys will have to stay
here two or three weeks longer than
the Speaker planned to keep them.
The Speaker and his boys have an
eye single for the job of securing an
other Republican majority in the House
of the next Congress, and some side
thoughts of the possibility of pulling
off the Presidential nomination for Mr..
Cannon should the Chicago convention
get into a propitious snarl. But the
Senate leaders regard these considera-
tons as quite secondary to the all
important one of preventing the Presi-
dent and his friends from naming the
next candidate of the party for the
Presidency.
While they remain here they can keep
close tab on political maneuvers and
take measures to checkmate them, both
privately and in certain lines of official
action.
The situation in the South, where the
Administration absolutely dominates
the party machinery through Federal
o~ficeho1ders, will receive the special at
tention of the anti-administration Sena-
tors. Already the work has begun CT
checkmating the suspected attempts of
the administration to control the

A RAILROAD TAX DECISION SOON.

A decision before the end of January
in the railroad tax cases may be looked
for from the Court of Errors and APP
peals, which has now taken up their
consideration in conference. As is well
known, the Supreme Court, in opinions
handed down by Justices Fort and
Pitney, fully sustained the new rail-
road tax laws and on all points in
contention. and the subject has other
wise been so thoroughly canvassed
that the court of last resort has all
the light necessary for a clear and
comprehensive and just decision, which,
1t is to be hoped, will be final and
conclusive.
Depending IN the issue of this It'll
CATION is the sum of 49, 500, 900 of rail-
road taxes assessed for last year n a
year, a total of $4,000, 900, in addition
to all the taxes on first-class railroad
property to be assessed under the law
in the years to come. This money, If
paid to the State, goes to the munich
palities for the support of the public
schools, If no further contest shall be
made by the railroads, the municipali-
ties will receive the money this year,
and all municipal tax levies will be cor
respondingly relieved. 1t is not pleasant
to contemplate the possibility of a de-
cision adverse to the State or of a re-
fusal by the railroad companies to ac-
cept a decision sustaining the opinion
by the Supreme Court.

rRENToN's TYpHo1D.LADEN WATER.

1t Is, of course, a wise p~recaution for
the typhoid fever committee of Tren-
ton to make a thorough house-to-house
canvass to ascertain II there is any
other source OF the epidemic which has
laid nearly 100 victims low. 1t has been
established beyond a shadow of a
doubt that the water supply drawn
from the Delaware is sufficiently con-
taminated to account for all the typhoid
cases. Therefore the urgence of the
new Mayor, DIR. Madden. in his message
to the Council Wednesday to take i'm
mediate steps for securing a pure water
supply for the city should receive at
tention at once.
1t goes without saying that radical
means must be adopted TO put an end to
the pollution of the Delaware, but that
will be a matter of years, to be dealt
with by two States, for 1t means a new
method of sewage disposal by numer-
Gus communities on both banks of the
stream. In the meantime the only
safety Of Trentonians lies in boiling all
the water used until some u~npolluted
supply can be obtained.

THE NEW COUNCIL YEAR.

The organization of the new Com
mon Council for Newark is always an
event of general local interest. The
civic spirit is stronger in Newark than
In any other city of the State. New
ark citizens watch municipal affairs
closely, and criticise as freely, while
the periodical changes that take place
in the city government are given due
Importance. The Mayors message is
also widely read and commented on.
This abiding interest in municipal
affairs by the average Newarker makes
for the good municipal government
that our city IA usually boast of.
There will be no political change in
the organization tonight of the new
Common Council. AS last year, a
Democratic majority will elect a Demo-
cratic president and a Democratic
Mayor will send a message to the
Council and announce a number Of
appointments for the Council to con-
firm. The Mayors message will not
differ in tone and spirit from those of
his Republican predecessors, and there
is no reason why it should. Newark's
Mayors write their messages from the
single standpoint of the public inter-
ests. and If they err 1t is not by rea-
son of political partisanship.
