ENGAGEMENT NOT DENIED
Betrothal of Duke of Abrnzzl and
Miss Elklns Regarded as True.
ROME, March 19. Nothing . is known
here of the attitude of the royal family
with reference to the reported engage
ment of the Duke of Abruzzi and MiBS
Biking, notwithstanding the statement
sent out from Rome purporting to be a
forecast . of the court's action in the
event of a marriage.
It may be observed, however, that aa
there has been no official ,denial of the
engagement it is generally taken to be
true. Furthermore, If King Victor Em
manuel disapproved .of the engagement,
he undoubtedly would have made known
his objections as the Italian law govern
ing marriages among1 the members of the
royal family holds such unions invalid
without the consent of the King.

MEXICAN PAPER HAS SCARE
Urges Country to Prepare for War
With United States.
CITY OF MEXICO. March 20. El
Tlempo, the organ of the Catholic
Church In the Republic of Mexico, pub
lishes on it's-first "page "today an article
which appeared in a New Tork news
paper recently. In- which the writer ad
vocates the purchase by the United
States of the Peninsula of Lower Cali
fornia. Commenting editorially on the article,
the paper urges that Mexico immediately
begin to prepare for a war with the
United States, as it is charged that the
Northern Republic, failing to obtain the
consent of Mexico for the sale of the
peninsula and its harbor, Magdalena,
will take it by force of arms. The ed
itor speculates on the result of the pre
dicted war, saying that Great Britain
would take advantage to seize the Phil
ippines should it occur, and the Republic
of Colombia would undertake to regain
Panama. v
The editorial is not taken seriously by
the rest of the press and Is looked upon
as the views of the clerical party and
is pronouncedly anti-American.

the United States in which local option
and prohibition has been tried it has
proven a failure.
"I believe that the liquor traffic has
its vrltues as well as Its vices. Christ

since then has been a balance of J19,
153,207 on subscriptions to J85,25,123 new
preferred stock. Its need o' new capital
is occasioned by its improvements and
extensions in the West.
On the Cananea. Taqui River & Pacific

gon Western Railway some 83 miles of
expensive construction is contemplated

had already been provided and tunneling
and grading were progressing at the
close of the last fiscal year.
It will be perhaps conservative to say
that the Southern Pacific in the current
