ROME. March 18. The Italian eager ly awaits news from America regard ing the reported engagement of the Duke of Abruzzl to wed Miss Katherine Elkins. Admitting the truth of the reported engagement, the point that principally interests people is whether the mar riage will be considered a morganatic one. The Duke of Abruzzi's mother was not of royal blood, but her mar riage was not considered morganatic, and she enjoyed all the privileges of her husband's rank, and even became Queen of Spain. The opinion prevails in court circles that. If the marriage takes place, it will not be viewed as a morganatic alliance. Gas Company Given Notice.
