DAUGHTER and Duke, He Says.

EIkins. W Va, Sept l--Emphat1c de-
NAL was made to-day by Senator Ste
phen q. EIkins of the rumors that ne Is
preparing to go to Paris. or that his
daughter. Miss Katherine Elkins, Will
marry the Duke of the Abruzzi in Feb
ruary, or at any other time, or that MS
family is TO be presented 10 the Italian
court.
With some impatience the Senator has
declared that he has denied rumors un-
til he is worn out and that ne would like
to have it accepted as a fact that there
is no contemplated union between MS
daughter and the Italian duke. All
these things were denied two years ago.
and there is no more truth in the rumors
now than there was two years ago, said
Senator Elkins.
The sole purpose, he said, the Eu-
ropean trip Of Mrs. Elkins and Miss
Katherine Elkins had was the benefit Of
their health. They have been going
abroad each summer for number or
wears. Since the adjournment Of Con-
gress Senator EIkins has been resting
