II is said by Senator Elbins that the

That amendments to the Hepburn RATE
law need not be expected from Congress
in a hurry is the import Of the report
adverse to the Fulton bill. which has
been made TO the Senate by Senator
Eukins of West Virginia. as chairman
Of the Senate Committee on Interstate
Commerce
This bill. proposed by Senator Full
ton OF oregon at the first session or
the present Congress. and urgently de-
manded by many shippers, was intend
ed to give the Interstate Commerce
Commission the power 10 pass on pro-
posed increases OF freight rates before
those rates went into effect.
The decision Of the committee TO re-
port the bin adversely was reached
some weeks ago, but the report has just
been handed down, and in all quarters
where there is interest in the question
of overhaullng the interstate commerce
laws, the Importance Of it IS not mis-
understood.
1t amounts 70 serving notice on those
who are bent on getting the existing

it clear that the majority OF the In

II is understood that orders will short

number of these weapons. and they will
form part of the armament Of battleshps

already been made in Woolwich arsenal.
Compared with the present twelve-inch

many points Of superiority. the most i'm

II is said to be effective at eighteen miles
and those who have seen it tested declare
II TO be the finest weapon in the world
There are indications that some orders
for the new gun will be placed with the

From the New York Press
Princess Beatrice Of England is likely
to wear a crown as Queen of Portugal.
and in that fact il is given to us free
Americans to see it is not all romance
to be born to purple. Romance has no part
III this match. The princess is twenty-five
years old; King Manuel Of Portugal is
nineteen. and looks two years younger.
Further. there is the disturbing factor OF
difference in religion. Beatrice always has
been firm in her Episcopal faith. while
Manuel OF course. looks to Rome. But to
conform to policy OF state, the young
woman must abandon religious scruple.
In addition. she has peace and comfort
in England. and as Manuels wife must
enter turbulent politics. with the shadow
Of the assassin's dagger always over her.
Little wonder she is reported to have
hesitated before accepting Manuel as a
sutton. And what q sutton. too, Coming
a stranger. with the match made long
beforehand! Surely. to be princess is
not to lie on a bed Of roses. And for
Manuel, receiving his throne as giit
from the hands of murderers, it seems
he invites his wife 10 see him wear a
crown Of thorns.
