BUT LITTLE REALLY KNOWN
About the Engagement Of Katherine
EIkins and Duke Of the Abruzzi.

Elkins. W. Va, Nov. 9.--While in
creased interest seems lately to have
centered in the reported engagement
OF Miss Katherine E.kins, daughter of
United States Senator Stephen 3. Ell
kinS, and the Duke of the AbruZZi, it
is declared here today in circles cloae
to the Elkins 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 also but little discussion to
denote the strong attachment between
the young Italian and Miss ElkinS but
that the affair has approached the
trousseau stage is nowhere admitted.
1t is further pointed out that if there
ever should be formal announcement:
it would come. according to court
etiquette. in an official statement from
Rome.
There are 50 many considerations
entering into a proposed marriage OF
this sort aside from the personal
wishes of the young peope involved
that even Miss Elkins' closest girl
friends here are not discussing the
matter with view to early eventuai-
ties, while that young lady herself. a
typical and loyal American girl, in all
her views and modes of life, is enjoy
ing herself in buoyant spirits with
gallops into the mountains amongst
which she was reared and in hunting
trips with her brothers, who are no
more enthusiastic than she over the
joys of out OF doors.
The many unauthorized and specu-
'ative stories that have been printed
regarding the affair, have been very
annoying to Senator Elkins and the
members Of his family. This was
especially true of the report that
morganatic marriage had been sug-
gested 1t is declared that there has
never been the slightest intimation OF
such an arrangement and none would
be considered for a moment. The re-
port that Miss E'lkinS had ordered
trousseau is declared to be without
the slightest foundation 1t is also de-
clared that talk of special doWry is
entirely erroneous and that such
subject has never been broached.
1t is finally stated that correspond
nnce between Turin and Elkins has
been confined solely to the Duke and
Miss Elkins herself This being the
case. it is pointed out that many OF
the published stories have not only
been erroneous but unjust to the peo-
pie.
Senator Elkins has set no definite
date for his departure to Washington,

KING EDWARDS BIRTHDAY.
Premier Asquith In His Address Dis.
cusses Relations Of the Powers.

London, Nov. a-The prime minis
ter, Herbert H. Asquith, was the prin-
cipal speaker at the Guild Hall ban
quet tonight, which marked the inaug-
uration OF the lord mayor Of London,
Sir George Wyatt Truscort. and
brought to a fitting close the celehra-
ton Of the Kings birthday.
The prime minister devoted his OBJ
servations mainly to the European
situation. After congratulating Turkey
in the person of the Turkish ambassa-
dor, Musurus Pacha, on the success of
the most amazing revolution in the an
nails of history, he declared that, sub
ject to the important principle tthat
international treaties could not De
altered except by the consent OF all the
signatories. the British government
had no prejudice against, or preference
in favor Of any particular settlement
1t had never objected to direct ncgo-
tiations between Austria and Bulgaria
and Turkey, always provided that Tur-
key, as the most prsjudiced. should
have settlement consistent with he-'
honor and interests, and that the
agreement must be countersigned by
all parties to the Berlin treaty.
One Of the happiest results Of tht
Anglo Russian convention, he said
was that both countries had been able
to approach the, Near Eastern question
from the same viewpoint and discuss
frankly and sympatheticaliy the sad
den crisis that had arisen. His Majes
tvs government considered that Russia
I al behaved with the greatest re-
straint under exceedingly trying cir
cumstances in following a policy Of
non intervention in Persia.
Just year ago the German En-
peror, whit on a visit to England.
emphatically declared himself animal
ed by a desire for friendship with
Great Britain, and the maintenance of
lie peace Of Europe.
"Tt was that spirit" said Mr. AS
.uth." that guided all the negotiations
'etween the two countries concerning
The recent difficulties and if, as 1 be-
licve, the other powers are animated
~ q similar spirit, the clouds that are
now darkenng Europe will soon dis
rorse without storm.
''Therc ought to he no talk of isola-
tion," continued the premier, cor OF

Mr.. Asquith referred briefly to the
commercial outlook and thought that
if peace was maintained there was no
reason why the present depression.
should be Of long duration.
Both the premier and Reginald Nc
Kinna. first lord of the admiralty, dealt
with the question of national defence,
especially with reference to the navy.
in almost siilillr words They declined
to anticipate the next naval estimates,
but the premier hinted that the cost
of the navy was not likely to diminish.
but rather increase. since, having at
tained supremacy. the government was
firmly determined to maintain it, The
navy. said Mr.. A%quith, was now equal
to any responsibility that should be
thro" II upor it but it's indisputable su-
pt riOrity was not for aggression or ad-
venture. but to fulfill the elementary
duty of protecting British commerce,
industry and homes.

Captain of Commonwealth" of Fall
River Company Prevents Panic
Among the Passengers.

New York.-Of Face Rock, made
famous by F. Hopkins Smiths
story of Caleb West, Master Diver,
the Fall River liner Commonwealth
collided with and sank the Norwegian
steamer Volund early Saturday.
The Commonwealth passed through
He'll Gate into the East river at $3.50
a. IN. She is so badly damaged that
she will be taken out of commission.
The two vessels, each of heavy ton
mage, came together with a crash in
the midst of a dense fog. On board
the Commonwealth were fully 1000
passengers and only the GOODNESS of
the officers of the passenger steamer
prevented a second Slocum disaster.
The passengers aboard the Common
wealth were asleep. .
Hundreds of the sleeping passen-
gers were hurled from their beds by
the shock. Rushing on deck in their
night attire the Commonwealth pas,
sengers were met at the companion
ways by men of the crew. The crew
followed the drill in excellent shape
and passed among the frightened men
and women, assuring them that there
was no danger.

HASKELL AND DUPONT RESIGN.
Democratic Treasurer and Republican
Head of Speakers Bureau Out.

Chicago.-Gov. c. N. Haskell
of Oklahoma has rendered his
resignation as treasurer of the Dem.
Ocratic national committee.
Until nearly 1 o'clock Saturday
morning, the moment he actually
wrote the document, he minated that
he would stick and fight it out. Sud
denly, after a talk with Josephus Dan
iels and r. F. Rose, Mr.. Bryan's secrp
tary, he changed his mind and wrote
out his resignation.
MIR. Daniels, who had been with Mr..
Bryan in Ohio, had received instruc-
tons to demand the resignation.
For four hours Mr.. Daniels and
Judge Martin J. Wade of Iowa argued
with Gov. Haskell and pointed out
that his usefulness was gone, that
he was a handicap to success
Il have absolutely nothing to say
now concerning Gov. Haskell" said
MIR. Bryan, when he arrived here Sat
urday morning. 81 am preparing an
answer to President Roosevelt's let
ter. Yes, the vacancy will probably
be filled by the executive committee"
Mr.. Bryan said he would spend the
two hours of his stay in Chicago in
conference with his managers.
