SEN. ELkINs spuRNs A TITLE
Refuses to Become italian Duke to
Obliqe Nobility.

Rome, Italy, March 25.-"Are we to
be spared bumiliation?" cries high So
ciety in Rome on hearing that Senator
Elkins has spurned a proposition to
make him an Italian duke so the kings
cousin, Duke D'Abruzzi, may get wife
not without rank when he marries Miss
Elkins, as it is now understood that
he certainly will do Indeed there is
a rumor that the marriage has already
been solemnized privately, which in
tensifies gossip. Feeling in royal, aris-
tocratic and popular circles has been
raised almost to the boiling point by
accommodating circumstances connect
ed with the duke falling desperately
in love with an American girl.
There was strenuous opposition to
the match at the outset because the
duke had chosen for his bride a woman
with no rank in European eyes, and
not even the faintest claim to the
lowest order of titles. Then, when
gossip spread that d'Abruzzi was after
Senator Elkins' millions, Italian pro
tested that the duke has an income OF
$4,000 q year and through his rank
has membership in the house of Savoy
and because of his personal fame he
was eligible to wed the wealthiest anC
! proudest of European princesses. Blu
= it was explained that the duke alway'
2 has been democratic in his views ant
greatly admires American institutions
: Report persists that Miss Elkins re
:. fuses to change her religion and tina
the match has been broken off. Thi
; story would be willingly believed, bu
6 those who are acquainted wit
C d'Abruzzi and with the facts in tn
O case, ignore it.

Gllmore's New Ptay.

There is said to be great deal of
character, expression and even grace
in the manly figure of Jack Hartley in
George v. Hobarts new romantic love
idyl, The Wheel of Love-" and Paul
Gilmore is said to play it almost 10
perfection. The part is totally differ
ent from the one in which he was last
seen here, Dick Seeley, the Yale stroke
in AT Yale" but it has many OF the
same qualities, notably those Of hero
ism, manliness and courage. II is a
ripper part, one in which the popular
young actor accentuates the good
points noted in Dick Seeley rather
than adds many new ones.
The piece will be brought to Spo-
kane Friday, Saturday and Sunday
nights and Saturday matinee. The
production is said to be particularly
beautiful one and the cast more than
adequate. Altogether the Wheel Of
Love" is one of the great hits of the
season.

DECLARES ARMY WEAK.
Only $4,000 Men, Including Militia,
Available fer Quick Service.

Available fer Quick Service.
The army establishment of the
United States is in an appalling condi-
ton. Weak numerically, with not
enough officers to handle it efficiently,
it is further handicapped by lack of
supplies.
I'm case of foreign war the coun-
try is in such a plight that a strong
enemy could wrest from it territory at
home and abroad, the recapture of
which would be accomplished only at
the cost of thousands of lives and the
expenditure of millions of treasure.
Either this would be the case, or the
United States would be forced to lower
the flag to the terms of a humiliatine
peace"
Briefly this is the opinion of an army
officer of high rank who is now in
Washington.
There are only $4,000 men in the
regular army" he said. This include:
all branches, combatants and noncom
batants. OF this number there are 10,
900 in the Philippine islands,. 5000 il
Cuba and 1000 divided between Alaski
and Hawaii
