gross indignities by the natives,
Mr.. Riley was presented to the sui,

the real power. Mr.. Riley was Inform
ed that he would not be permitted to
display the American flag 0ver the
consulate, as its appearance was dis.
tasteful to the sultan and his subjects
The consurs hot southern blood boiled
at this restriction, and he retorted In
vigorous fashion.
The flag did fly. Mr.. Riley related
that he shot to death with his fpwling
piece two members Of a guard Of sol
diers sent to cut down the eolors. The
sultana sent word If the flag flew TWEEN
ty minutes longer she would haul 1t
down in person. Mr.. Riley sent a
courteous message insisting that the
flag remain and warning her majesty
that If she assumed the offices of a
man and insulted the stars and stripes
she must accept the consequences.
According to MI. Riley's story, which
he declared was authenticated by state
department records, the sultana charg-
ed the consulate with such desperation
that he was obliged to fire upon her
and her military escort, with the re-
suit that the sultana's robes were
pierced by forty bird shot and she was
borne away and was unable to sit be-
side her husband on the royal throne

NEW YORK. Feb. 6.-New York State
Senator James ]. Frawley, who has boxed
with Jeffries Corbett, ChoyIsh. Mccoy and
the best OF them, has inaugurated a cam
paign TO make boxing first among the manly

He has begun the fight by two bills which
ne expects to get through the Legislature
within a month. one permitting ten-round
boxing bouts by professionals. the other
authorizing three-round amateur contests.
These he will urge not in the name of
the prizefighters. but 10 encourage among
young men what he regards as the finest
form Of manly exercise. With President
Roosevelt. he thinks every young man
should be taught To box.
Senator Frawley is the type OF the edu-

the fun he gets out OF IL. He is the Tam
many leader Of his district. and the Miami
Club. the headquarters of his organization.
numbers more expert boxers than any other
club OF its kind In the city. The example
set by the leader has proved infectious
among the members. All are handy with
the gloves. The senator boxes regularly
for exercise, whether he is in town or at
his legislative quarters at the Tub in AL
bany.
