London, Oct. 2D This London ( Dally Mall's Rome correspondent tel- egraphs as follows: The Duchess D'Aosta, mother of 1 the Duke of the Abruzzi, has offlcial I ly Informed the mayor of Aosta that I the approaching marriage of . the I duke and Miss Elkins will occur 'shortly.' The duke leaves Italy for America in the middle of November, . and a squadron of three battleships will sail at the same time. I "No wedding arrangements have been made In Italy as the marriage j will occur In America. On her ar ' rival in Italy the new princess will I be officially presented at court and I celebrations will be held In her honor in Home and Turin.

Paris, Oct. 20 Now King Edward, whose reputation for tact has been much Impaired during the past few weeks, has added to the entangle ments of the Abruzzi-Elkins match. Following the more or less official announcement of the Giornale De'ltalla that King Victor Emmanuel has not only granted permission for the marriage but has agreed that Miss Elkins shall be received as a royal princess, and the fact that the greatest opposition thereto comes from the Duke Aosta and Queen Mar gaherita Comes now the report that the influence of the English coiirt Is the influence of the English court is I also being : used against the demo- also being : used against the cratlc marriage. The reason for this OCCUR SHORTLY is that It will stand in the way of , at the assertions made by some of the the projected betrothal of the Count republicans that North Carolina of Turin and the Princess Patricia of i might go republican. . . 1 Connaught. "Mr. Taft Is always welcome In the Prince Victor Emmanuel, Count of south," said Henry, "and he will be Turin, is the elder brother of the listened to courteously. But that he Duke of the Abruzzi, both being sons will change any of the votes is an of the late Amadeur, some time King j other thing. He has evidently mis of Spain and therefore both cousins taken the hospitality of the south for of the King pf Italy. The Princess' somethln gelse. He was greeted, no Patricia Is the daughter of the Duke doubt, enthusiastically as any promV of Connaught, and therefore niece of.nent visitor would be, but that is all.r King Edward. The marriage of the Duke of the Abruzzi to Miss ElklnB and the union of the Count of Turin and the Princess Patricia would therefore make Miss Elkins a sister-in-law of King Edward's niece, a re lationship which doeB not seem to appeal to the British monarch. Queen Margaherlta was on her way to London to complete the ar rangement for the Turin-Connaught betrothal when the Abruzzi-Elkins affalr caused her to break her Jour - ney In Paris. The English court does not.cn re' to acquire West Virginia relatives In this roundabout way, and leave soon for New York, but the date is unknown.
