The Senate .Busies Itself With a Discussion of the Manner of Approval of Increased Rates By In terstate Commission.

Washington. May 24.-Chairman Tawney of the house appropriations committee today succeeded in framing an amendment to the sundry appro- priation bill. providing the president with $250,O0O to obtain information on prices of manufactured articles that stood the test of the rules of the house.
 By a strict party vote of no to S3, the amendment was adopted Pre- viously the house. by vote of S4 to lO6, had rejected the Fitzgerald amendment reducing the amount to 75.000.
 Two provisions to accomplish this geenral purpose had been ruled out of order by Mir Mann of Illinois. who was in the chair The first. proposed by Mir Tawney. called for a mass of information beyond any direct re- quirement of the tariff law, while in his second amendment there was a provision that the president should make an investigation of such prices that he might make recommendations to congress. Both were out of order, as they provided for actions not spe- officially authorized by law.
 Preceding the decision ruling out the first amendment. Mir. Tawney ac- cused the democrats of desiring to be in ignorance of facts about the tariff.

BOXED ELEVEN ROUNDS WITH ALL HIS PARTNERS
Jeffries Was in a Humor for Hard
 Work.

Ben Lomond. May 24.-Eleven rounds of lively boxing served the visitors at the training camp .oday the best show they have enjoyed in week Jeffries was in good humor and felt like working He wanted to go Q round or two more. but sam Gerger was not Tn condition to accommodate the fighter after two rodnds of fast milling.
 Boo Armstrong was used three rounds. This bout was not exciting as the negro was extremely clever in defensive work, and Jeff always finds it difficult to reach him. The work with Armstrong is considered splen- did practice for Jeff. because of the similarity of the tactics of his spar ring partner and those of the black champion.
 The bouts with Brother Jack, Der ger and Choynski were of the rip and-tear order. The Choynski affair was particularly interesting for the spectators Jeff handled the veteran in anything but a gentle manner and Choynski came out of the ring with a broken tooth, a bad ear and a dam aged nose. Rope skipping and hand ball followed the boxing. and in the afternoon Jeff put in another hour in the gymnasium. He was happy and whistled and sang all through his work.
 Jeffries will leave camp on Fri day afternoon for San Francisco, where he appears in a sparring eN- hibition that evening. He will re- turn in an auto which he has just purchased.

only sixten years Old was recently

her father and his household are To-
Gated, to be welded to Namih Bey,
son OF the ex-grand vizier, with
whom marriage has been arranged
for her. But the young princess,
showing more spirit than most Turk

she did not love.
Fer protest against the marriage
took the very modern form of writ
ing to the Newspapers, saying that
she had not been. consulted in the
matter Of her marriage and was de-
terrnined not to submit to d com
pulsory marriage. Her letter was
published, and the effect was Ito
bring official. notice to the, press that
the marriage would not take place.
