JACKSON AND JEFFRIES
PILLED THE PAVILION UNTIL IT
.RAN OVER
THREE ROUNDS WERE ENOUGH
(To Show That Peter Is a Sure-Enough
Has Bean and That Jeffries Is a
Coming Champion
Associated Press Special Wire
SAN FRANCISCO, March 22.-Jlm Jef
fries of Los Angeles easily defeated Peter
Jackson In the third round tonight at
Woodward's pavilion. Jackson did not
make much of a showing after the first
round. He displayed some ot his old-time
cleverness In ducking and jabbing with his
left, but could not land hard enough to
stop the rushes of his ypunger and stronger
antagonist. Jeffries showed considerable
Improvment in cleverness, using his hanus
with both judgment and precision. The
second round was lively until Peter got a
hard left swing on the jaw, which sent him
down on his back. He arose only to go
down again from the same blow, and was
saved by the gong sounding time. Jack
son came up looking fairly fresh for the
third round, but soon received a hard left
on the jaw which made him wobble help
lessly about the ring. Another blow from
Jeffries sent him against the ropes, where
he hung, unable to lift his hands. Jef
fries magnanimously stepped back, await-
In the recovery of his opponent, but as
Peter was plainly out, the referee stepped
between them and declared Jeffries the
winner.
THE LOS ANGELES LAD RUSHES JACKSON
The appearance of such fistic celebrities
as Fitzslmmons and Corbett would scarce
ly have brought out a greater crowd than
that assembled at Woodward's pavilion to
night. It was a full exemplification of the
adage, as applied to matters puglllstl". "the
bigger the men, the bigger the crowd."
Jackson is popular in San Francisco. In
fact, he has always been popular with the
sporting public of this city since, on May
21, 1891, he fought the memorable battle
of sixty-one rounds with Jim Corbett. Ills
cleverness, gameness and his sportsman
like conduct on that and subsequent occa
sions gave him standing with the patrons
of flstiana second to none. During all
these recent years of idleness and. some
say, considerable dissipation. Jackson has
lost none of his popularity, and when the
big colored boxer announced his deter
mination to again enter the arena and
contest with the younger men who have
come forward in the last two years, his
decision was hailed with delight by his
admirers. Some feared Jackson could not
condition himself to withstand the hard
knocks of actual batlle, but his splendid
work in practice dispelled all such fears,
and Jackson again became a factor In the
championship question.
The public quickly came to realize that
a great contest was to be decided, and
tonight they poured Into the big building,
packing it from roof to pit. blocking the
streets In the vicinity of the building to
such an extent that all traffic was sus
pended rom 7:30 until 9:30 oclock. Profiting
by their experience with the howling,
surging mob on the occasion of the Green-
Wolcott battle, the police were out in ade
quate numbers tonight. A new entrance
to the building has been opened to the seats
on the lower floor, and around this and the
• two doors leading to the galleries the po
lice formed a cordon, extending for a block
In either direction on Valencia street. In
order to keep back the non-ticket holders
and the mob of curiosity-seekers and hang
ers-on, many of whom were seeking,
through every conceivable excuse, to gain
admittance. All seats were sold by 8
oclock, and those who failed to provide
MARCUS A. HANNA
themselves with the pasteboards earlier
were confronted with closed doors when
they sought to purchase them. It Is es
timated that 52,000 people were outside the
building during the progress of the fight.
Inside the big pavilion, the largest at
present available In the city, men were
packed like sardines. Every seat was
occupied, while the aisles were filled, and a
human walnscoatlng skirted the walls of
the entire building. Scarcely less than
9000 men were within the walls when time
was called.
At 9 o'clock Jeffries came into the ring,
seconded by Billy Delaney, DeWltt Van
court and Spider Keliy. Jeffries chose the
northwest corner of the ring. He was
lustily cheered.
The house went wild when at 9:03 Jack
son stepped Into the ring, followed by
Patay Corrigan, Henry White and Young
Mitchell.
At 9:09 Referee McDonald called the
men to the center of the ring and Instructed
them.
THE FIGHT BY ROUNDS
Round I—At 9:10 p. m. the gong sounded,
and the men came up quickly. Jackson
was aggressive, feeling of Jeffries. Jef
fries led with left, but fell short. Jeffries
rushed, and led with left, but Peter duck
ed. Jeffries landed light right on body,
and got the same blow In return. Jef
fries missed left swing for body and landed
lightly on head. Peter put straight lef ton
body. Peter landed right on body, left
on face and right over heart In rapid suc
cession. Jackson jabbed Jeffries hard in
face. Jeffries put hard left on the body.
Jackson put two good right blows on body
as the round ended.
Round 2— Jeffries missed a giant swing
for the body, and was jabbed in the face
with left. Jeffries put good left on head
and clinched. Peter came in close, and put
In short right arm blow over heart, and
Jeffries clinched. Jackson jabbed Jef
fries hard on mouth with left, drawing a
little blood. Jeffries rushed, but Peter
cleverly got under his swing. Jeffries
swung left on jaw, knocking Jackson
down. Jackson got up and went down
again from a left swing just as the gong
sounded.
Round 3—Peter came up pretty fresh.
Jeffries landed left lightly on head. Jef
fries landed repeatedly on. Jaw, an 3 Peter
went groggy; he got Peter against thu
ropes and swung left on Jaw. Peter fell
against the ropes, and the referee stopped
ihe right and gave the decision to Jef
fries.
A PRELIMINARY
"Kid" Barker of Boston finished Henry-
Lewis of San Francisco in half a round.
Lewis went down from every blow, and
the crowd yelled "fake."
The Herald Bulletins
The Herald's bulletin service, giving re
ports round by round of the Jackson-Jef
fries tight, attracted a great deal of atten
tion last night, several hundred people
waiting until at 9:23 p. m. the stereoptlcon
flashed the news upon the screen that three
minutes previously the Los Angeles lad
had added another scalp to his belt.
The crowd filled the street and lined th 6
sidewalk on the other side of Broadway.
The Darktown folk were out in force, loyal
to the last to Mr. Peter Jackson. When
Jeffries picture was thrown on the screen
with the Inscription, "Our Jim. The Com
ing Champion." the crowd cheered lustily,
but the final result was not received with
extraordinary enthusiasm, as Jim's easy
victory hadi been confidently expected.

Carter of Montana of the committee on
territories called up the measure reported
by him, making further provisions for a
civil'government of Alaska, and addressed
the senate at length upon it. He said that
the committee had deemed it wise to pro

not only on account of the nomadic char
acter of the Inhabitants, but also on ac
count of the vast extent of the district.
Questioning Carter as to the reason for
providing for three United States Judges
and three district attorneys, Vest of Mis

reasonably Industrious lawyer could, as a
district attorney, transact in one month
all of the business likely to arise there in

all ooeupant* of th* property In dlsputt,
ordering them to vacate at once. In the
batch of notice* the occupants of the.
Spreckels block and about twenty others
were served and ordered to vacate. Irwin
& Co. will pay no attention to the notices,
claiming that the property rightfully be
longs to Claus Spreckels. They hold a
long lease on the building, and sub-let to
the present occupants. Mrs. Watson's at
torneys will be forced to go Into court and
seek the ejectment of the tenants; then
the matter will come up for Judicial deter
mination. Mrs. Watson admits that she
deeded the property over to her father, but
Insists that the deed Is Invalid, because it
does not bear the signature of her hus
band. Mr. and Mrs. Watson will return

A bill Is about to be introduced In the
legislature providing that from ami after
July 1 no labor contract will be enforceable

mittee has endorsed the bill by carrying a
motion to the effect that the penal feature
of labor contracts be abolished by the
present legislature. The Hawaiian legis
lature will be asked to appropriate fIS.OOO
for the coinage of nickels and dimes. Min
ister Damon states that there Is a scarcity
of this class of coinage, and the banks were
compelled to send to the UndtedlStates sev
eral times a year for sufficient smaTi coins
to meet the needs of their business. The
new coins will be minted at San Francisco,
and this government will make a hand
some profit on the transaction.
At the last session of the legislature the
duty on Japanese sake was materially
Increased in order to protect the Califor
nia wine growers, the result has- been a

restore the old duty. They claim that
the cost to the consumer under the old
tariff Was reasonable, and that the pres
ent duty ls prohibitive.

PLANS LAID DOWN
(Continued from Pag* One.)
has mapped out after mature considera
tion.
At the cabinet meeting today tt was de
cided not to make the destruction of the
Maine a bone of contention, but to take the
broad and general ground that humanity
demands an Immediate stoppage ot the
war In Cuba and the Immediate relief of
starving Cubans. It was conceded that
the conditions In Cuba Justified such Inter
ference, and the necessity for promptitude
was apparent, not only because ot the ten*
per of congress, which ls tired of delay, but
because the attitude of Spain, as reflected
by recent correspondence between the two
countries, Is haughty and unyielding to
the point of insolence.
There seems to be no doubt that the Sa
gasta ministry has decided on a struggle
for the retention of Cuba and for resist
ance to any demands the United States
may make.
The question of declaring Cuba Independ
ent was discussed by the cabinet In all Its
phases and dismissed as a course likely
to lead to endless delay, and asTfaving the
vital defect of not providing for the ces
sion of the barbarities and miseries pre
vailing In that famine-wrung Island.
The president and his advisers saw at
once that If the settlement of responsi
bility for the Maine disaster was to be
held In abeyance for a short time after
the court's report had been sent to con
gress tt would be necessary to hold con
gress in check while waiting for an Inter
vention message, soon to follow.
This Is an Important consideration, and
Democratic assistance was deemed abso
lutely essential to the success of tbe pro*
gram. Accordingly Senators Gray of Dela
ware, Gorman ot Maryland and Morgan of
Alabama were Invited to the White House
for a conference with McKinley. They
called separately this a/ternoon, and each
had a long talk with the chief executive.
While these senators absolutely refused
to discuss the purpose of their visit or Its
result, there Is no doubt that the president
outlined his policy with considerable de
tail. There Is every reason to believe that
his course, as explained, received the
warmest commendation from the Demo
cratic leaders, who promised their support
and Influence toward making the presi
dent's program a success.
