Reported That Passing of Senator

riage of Daughter to Italian
Nobleman.
KOMB, Jan. il. Thai the death
of United States Senntor Llkins will
result in a speedy muriinge netweeu
Miss Katherinc Klkins, hi-, daughter,
and the Duke of the Abr'uvzi, is r.
opinion expressed in latlinn uewpn
pers today. The papers assert that
the real opposition to the marriag?
came from Senator Klkins.
WASHINGTON. I). C, Jan. 0
patches from Koine, reviving the
prediction of a marriage between the
Duke D'Abruzzi and ICntherino El
kins, are generally credited here. It
is believed that the senator's objec
tion to n morganatic marriage was
the real barrier to the culmination
of the romance. As the duke wiih
remotely an heir to the throne, it i.J
reported the king of Italy informed
Senator .Elkins that only a nlorgan
atic marriage with lira American
heiress was possible. The duke him
self, it is generally believed, argued
with Hildas, pointing out that the I
possibility of his cluvntio. to the
throne was extremely remote.
"Never," the senator replied, ac
cording to a story ;told by one of his
intimates today. "The man mann
ing my daughter must marry her
without any reservation. 1 will not
listen to such a proposition."
Mrs. Klkins, it is believed, favors
the match.
The senator's friends today deny
the story which was circulated in
Home, that lie demanded tho eleva
tion of his daughter to royal rani:.
