JEFFRIES IN 26 ROUNDS Greatest Heavy Weight Fistic Battle on Record. Referee Awards Decision on PoIdIs Sharkey Forced Most of the Fighting Champion Retains His Title by Small Margin. Ringside, Coney Island Sporting Club New York, Nov. 3. Jamea J. Jpffrlcs retains tuo championship of (ho world ltefcrco Gcorgo Slier giving him the decision at the end of the 25th round orer Sailor Tom Sharkey, at tho Conor Island Sporting Club tonight. It was one of the most marvelous hnttles that has ever taken place, and tho greatest crowd that over gathered In tho Coney Island clubhouso witness ed the despernto alrugglo for suprema cy. In five totiuds Jeffries had tho bqttcr of tho fight In tho llrst two and tho last three. During the other 20 Shar key forced tho Issue, and, Ilka a bull terrier, was at his man with both hands unceasingly. It seemed at llrst as though It would ho a short light, for In the second round Jeffries put the sailor to tho ropes with n left on tho jaw and the referee began to call off the seconds as Sharkey kneeled on the floor. Dut from tho third round on Sharkey, with his vicious swings to tho ribs and tho jaw, kept tho crowd on Its feet watting for a knockout Jeffries stood tho ter rlflo punishment, nnd with his cyo, noso nnd ear split, came back just as viciously In the last three rounds and almost retrieved himself. Then camo tho unfortunnto and un satisfactory ending, Jcffrles's glove fly ing oft", bringing tho fight to an end, although tho crowd urged Sharkey to rush In and end It. Thta ho tried to do, hut Jeffries fought him back and Hcfcrco Slier rushed to the rescue, it was noticed" that Jeffries U8ed his weight to tho best advantage, throw ing himself all over tho sailor, but tho latter did his share of tho hugging, too, nnd both wero warned repeatedly. Jeffries had behind him Billy Do laney, Ernest Roeber, Tommy Ryan. nnd his brother, Jack Jeffries. Shar key was led to tho southwest corner by Tom O'Rourko, and was attended by Cicorgo Dixon, Morris Kelley and Tim McGrath, O'Rourko superintending the entlro proceedings. George Slier refe recd. Jeffrlea weighed 212 pounds and 'Sharkey' 25 pounds loss, but the lat ter looked to bo in better condition, tho Callturnlnn being sallow nnd hav ing staring eyes, nnd giving other evi dences of not being In tho best condi tion. They shook hnnds nnd shaped up well. Jeffries landed several times but wns generally over nnd under. On tho other hand, tho sailor was wild, going into the light with both hands swing ing wildly, but ho did not land tho first blow. Again in tho second round Shar key was flopping around, nnd ho came in for a nasty loft that rolled him over. It lookod then ns though Sharkey was clearly outclassed. O'Rourko, how ever, gavo tho sailor a talking to, and, to tho amazement of nil , Sharkey swung on Jeffries' ribs nnd Jaw almost nt will, and thero was wild applause. As tho light went nlong round by round tho sailor fought his way Into tho hearts of thoso who marveled nt Jeff rlos' capacity for punishment. The Callfornlan crouched down low, and, though his eyes blazed, ho smiled, gen erally over at O'Rourke, who waa coaching his man over the ropes. Sharkey's vicious punches bogan to tell, and at tho close of the seventh It seemed as though Jeffries could' hardly walk to his corner, nnd It seemed certain thero would bo a new champion. Sharkey's car was split in tho eighth, unci It nuulo him like a bull. Ho rushed, swinging lefts and rights, nnd landed nearly all of them, with Jeffries throwing himself ovor the sailor. The Callfornluu pushed his man oyer tho ropes nt every oppor tunity, and somo of tho rounds rested his great head on Sharkey's shoulders, so much that he was hissed and Jeered.' Jeffries landed a terrllic uppercut id the 10th, and Sharkey's eyelid waa split, but in tho 12th Sharkey got back with a half-dozen left swings and a straight right, nnd It was wonderful that they did not end tho light; Jeffrlea hueced tho sailor hard nnd shook his head as he went to his corner. Every round carried Sharkey acrosa the ring nt the start, and he was ngnung mo chamnlon all over the canvas. In tho 16th Jeffries mado a bluff at forcing, but Sharkey-was nt him again like a bulldog, and swung high and low and landed almost every tlmo ho swung. The Callfornlan mado llttlo effort to land. Ho preferred tho do fonBlve, and he wns Minded. Sharkoy too, was tiring fast, nnd they punched and swung and staggered and clinched nil around tho ring for tho next few rounds. Tho crowd shrieked from the sound of tho gong to tho close of each round. Doth men wero covered with blood, and Jeffries was bleeding from tho nose, which Sharkey's savage right had split. Suddenly, In tho 22d round, Jeffries seemed to take on now life. Just at tho close of this round the champion Bwung his right and loft on Shnrkoy's Jaw, and almost took him off his feet. Ho reeled, and tho gong saved him. Ho camo back hard, however, in tho next, but Jeffries had the better of It, putting in two right uppcrcuta. Jeff ries' frlenda howled themselves honrso, while Sharkey's urged htm with loud cries to go in hard and rough It Ho threw down his terrier-like head, nnd, though his strength was fast leaving him, ho had Jeffries guessing until the gong sounded. No ono could say who would get In tho knockout blow, nnd neither seemed to bo able to put forco enough into the blow to drop tho other. In tho midst of tho 25th round, near ly ono mtnuto beforo tho close, Jeffries' glove flow ncross tho rtng, and Slier ran to help him on with it. Sharkey held back until his friends yelled at him not to stop, and It waa a three cornered fight for n fow minutes. Tho roferee got Jeffrlea' glovo and tried to draw it on. This was a difficult thing to do, and then Sharkey rushed. Jeff ries throw up his gldved nnd ungloved hand ,and with 'the former uppercut Shnrkey. Sltor rnn between them nnd made a second attempt to assist Jeff ries. Tho sailor wafted n moment, but, wildly excited by tho shrloks of the spectators, ho rushed ngaln. Slier dragged Jeffries nway and the gong rang. Tho reforco pointed to Jeffries' corner, nnd his seconds nnd friends cheered wildly. Tho mnjorlty of thoso at the rlngsldo hardly thought Sharkey would get worso than a draw , for tho sailor fought furiously, was always after his man with good judgment, nnd out pointed tho champion. On tho other hand, Jeffries, whllo ho had tho better, by long odds, of tho last three rounds. did very llttlo leading In tho other 22. nnd when ho led ho was cither too high or too low, getting In but a few good punches. . The decision was not an nounced from tho ring, or, If It wns, few beard It, nnd n great mob surged around for several minutes, yelling nnd shouting for tho victor and vanquish ed.

Mason IcT'cmple." HONOLULU, H. I., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 35, LADYSM1TH IS SURROUNDED Boers Have Gen. White Cornered Id UIs Stronghold. Probable That White Can Hold Out Till Buller Arrives- Rumors of Capitulation Are Hot Confirmed, London, Nov. 4. Tho War Offlco has Issued tho following announcement: "Tho colonial offlco has received" In formation to tho effect that tho Drltlsh troopa have withdrawn from Colcnso and have ppneentratod further south, but wo have no news of any engage ment In that neighborhood." Tho evacuation of Colenso is un doubtedly n most serious matter for the Drltlsh In Nntnl, ns It not only tes tifies to thu complete Investment of Lndysmllh by the Doers, but makes re lief of General Sir Gcorgo Stewart Will to nn extremely difficult opcrntlon. Colcnso Is tho point whoro tho railway from Lndysmllh crosses tho Tugela rlvor, which is now In Hood. Tho town Itself is of small Importance. It Is dominated by tho hills on the north side of tho river, nnd so was untenable It the Doers have ndvnnccd, na they seem to have done. Moreover, only a small naval nnd colonial force wns sta tioned at Colenso. Tho seriousness of tho evacuation, however, Ilea In tho fact that Comman dant General Joubcrt, whllo completely Investing Sir Georgo Whlto nt Lady smith, can seize this Tugcln bridge, and. If ho has sufficient troops, can de tach n forco nnd send it southward on Pletcrmarltzburg, nnd, In any case, by destroying the brldgo and railway, can prevent any relief expedition reaching Sir Gcorgo Whlto for some tlmo. MIHtnry men opi'-Mstlcally predict that General Jouberi Ml withdraw from Natal Immediate) Sir Redvers Dullcr's foieo enters tho O ran go Freo State, hut tho latter cannot bo far on hia way ,for nt least threo or four weeks, and oven then General Joubcrt may not decide to intercept tho Drltlsh on tho Freo State's open veldt, which would suit the Drltlsh admirably, but he may wait until tho Inst moment, and then proceed by trnln back to Pretoria and take up strong defensive positions on tho rnngo of hills lying In front of Johannesburg nnd Pretoria. Thus General Joubcrt might remain In Na tal several weeks longer endeavoring to forco Sir Georgo Whlto 'into capi tulation, tho destruction of tho Tugela river brldgo helping him In cutting off Drltlsh relief. .Moreover, another Doer forco Is ro-1 ported to liavo marched through Zulu land In tho direction of Durbnn nnd nltcady to havo reached tho Natal frontier. Thus, It will bo seen tho posi tion lu Natal, taking Into considera tion a posslblo uprising of tho disaf fected Dutch, Is very disquieting, and, lu fact, may bo described as critical. Drltlsh reinforcements lu any event cannot reach Durban before tho end of next week. Tho news that Colenso ha3 been ova cunted la arousing fear that tho Contin ental statements of tho second serious defeat of General Whlto may provo true. It lu a significant fact that the war ofllco does not say when Colenso was evacuated. The statement which emanated Thursday from Dr. Leyds, diplomatic representative of tho Trans vaal, who Is located nt Drussols, that the Doors occupied Colenso was possib ly true. Thero la much apprehension that tho war ofllco la impressing bad news. Won't Discuss Defeat. Capo Town, Nov. 2. (Delayed In transmission). A dispatch from Pre toria, under data of Tuesday, Bays Col.
