He will spend the night at the DeleVan
House, starting for Sycamore hotel,
Coney Island early Friday morning, and
remaining there until called upon to face
Jeffries in the ring.
The articles OF agreement under which
Jeffries and Sharkey will tight for the
heavyweight championship of the world
call for twenty-five rounds. They will
battle for Sc 2-3 per cent of the gross
receipts of which sum the winner will
receive Is per cent.
Opinions of sporting men and pugilists
on the result of the contest are interest
ing. Peter Maher, considered by many
experts on pugilistic affairs the most
dangerous man in the ring to-day, picks
Sharkey Maher has bet $3.50 against $3.50
that the sailor will win. He says he likes
Sharkey best because the sailors record
as fighter is superior to Jeffries ring
achievements He says Jeffrles has only
one good fight to his credit, and that was
with Fitzsimmons, but he does not think
that Fitzsimmons fought properly when
he met the Californian, or he would have
George Considine gives as his reason
for selecting Sharkey the latters superior
He says Sharkey cannot be knocked out
and in support of his opinion points to
the fact that Peter Maher, Kid Mccoy
and Bob FitZsimmons all knocked him
down. but could not make him uncon-
scious He regards Maher and Fitzsim-
mons as harder fighters than Jeffries and
figures that Sharkey, who can deliver a
harder blow than the Californian, will
surely land a Knockout on Jeffries, who
he thinks cannot take very much punish
ment.
Al Smith figures Jeffries the winner be-
cause he is taller, heavier, longer in reach
and from scientific standpoint out
classes the sailor. Jimmy Wakeleys S
views are precisely the same as Smiths
Late tonight Tom Sharkey, through
his manager, Tom O'Rourke bet $1700
against $4,000 with Martin Dowlng and
500 against $1,000 with Nat Goodwin on
himself against Jeffries.

life, and when once we have accepted the
premises, the consequences develop nat
urally, or, at any rate, plausibly We
may even say that in the art of intrigue
spinning, which was afterward somewhat
foreign and unattractive to him, the poet
here shows himself scarcely inferior to
the Spaniards of his own or a later day,
remarkable as was their dexterity.
Now and then the movement is sus-
pended for the sake of an exchange of
word plays between master and servant,
but 1t is generally short and entertain
ing. Now and then the action pauses to
let Dromio of Syracuse work off one of
his extravagant witticisms, as, for exam

marriage.
Antipholus s.-How dost thou mean a fat
marriage?
Dro. S.-Marry, sir; she's the kitchen wench
and all grease; and know not what use to put
her to but to make lamp of her and from
the tallow in them will burn a Poland winter;
longer than the whole world
AS a rule, however, the interest Is so
evenly sustained that the spectator is held
in constant curiosity and suspense as to
the upshot Of the adventure.
At one single point the style rises to a
beauty and intensity which shows that,
though Shakespeare here abandons him
self to the light play of intrigue, it is
diversion TO which he only condescends
for the moment The passage is that be-

The odds on the big fight remained the
same In this city yesterday. 10 to 6, with
Jeffries favorite, being the ruling figures.
The dollar bettors in the mutuels at
Harry Corbett's also favor the big fellow
on every line. OF the 1858 tickets sold 4a4
were on Jeffries and 1854 on Sharkey. The
majority of the bettors apparently think
Jeffries will win somewhere between the
eighth and the eighteenth rounds. The

PAYING The PRICE.
- Anqeles Ferald.l

Los Angeles Herald
Once more the people Of Great Britain are
paying the price Of the policy Of imperialism.
Queen Yictoria's peaceful reign has been
marked with an almost constant sacrifice OF
blood and treasure, and In almost every in
stance the cause has been either greed for gold
OF territorial aggrandizement, OF both.
Queen Victoria has reigned 81 years. In this
period England has been at war in IS years and
at peace only in Is. The blOOd-stained list
follows:
1sS7-1S5s-RebeIlion in Canada.
1S4OlSE2-Chinese opium war.
1S4O-Egyptian ports bOmbarded.
1sl2-First Afghan war.
1S43-Sinde war.
1sl3-Mahratta war.
1s45-First Sikh war.
1s45-SecOnd Sikh war.
1s5Ols53-Kafir war.
1S52-BuTmese war.
1653-1s55-Crimean war.
1S53-Is57-War with Persia.
1S56-1S57-Indian mUtiny,
1S55-1S50-Second Chinessswar.
1s62-Maori war.
1S63-Ashantee expedition.
1s57Is65-Abyssinian war.
1S73-Ashantee war.
1S7S-15SO-Second Afghan war.
1s79-Zulu war.
1SSO-First Transvaal war.
1SS2-Soudan war.
1885-Burmah annexed.
1S96-1S96-Kitchener in the SOudan.
1699-SecOnd Transvaal war.
In some instances the wars have ''overlapped.' "
The Herald does not assert, BY any means,
that every one Of these Wars-Ehich in every
instance except one were with vastly inferior
forces-was uniustiiable; for in some cases
there was undoubtedly great prOvOcatiOn, and
England's talent for good colonial government
may readily be conceded. On the other hand,
it must be admitted that the policy Of doing
evil that good may come has been sadly over
worked. and that England has never failed TO
exact liberal pay for her services"
While the British government has speClhcaE
" denied any intention 70 destroy the indepen-
dence Of the Transvaal 1t is equally clear tn at
it intends to take over the gold mines when the
time comes to dictate the terms Of peace at
Pretoria and the Independence of the repub-
lie VIII undoubtedly be destroyed.
In the meantime, as we started out BY saying,
the people Of Great Britain are paying the
price. Already the British losses have exceeded
the entire losses Of the United States IN the war
with Spain, and there is at present no indica-
ton that Butler viii celebrate the holidays on
Dutch soil. much less "eat his Christmas din
ner in Pretoria" as he boosted he would do.
Q Undoubtedly the temptations Of imperialism
are great where the nation possesses the power.
But that does not make right imperialism
bought BY the sacrifice Of the principles Of lib
erty. The peoples Of the world are becoming
too familiar with the monster, a vice which
Americans have long hated and abhOrred, but
which they now seem about to embrace.

REMAINS OF A DREAM.

Steam PIUw That Was to ReYOIutiOnize
Western Kansas Farming.
The big steam pillow engine, which
has stood in BaIdwin's lumber yard for
several years, was put aboard a car
Tuesday and shipped to st. Louis, says
tbs Garden City Imprint.
During the time when it was cOnfid-
emily thought that this country was an
agricultural paradise, this great engine
with its dozen PIows was set to work on
the upland plains turning under the
buffalo sod for the planting Of immense
fields in wheat.
The coyotes from adjoining knobs
viewed the smoke-beIehing monster
with wonder and the strange thing was
a matter Of curiosity to the inhabitants
Of many prairie dog towns. The rat
tIesnake sounded his warning, but his
fangs we're powerIess to stop this orea-
ture Of fire and iron, and his mad
stroke but carried him under the great
wheels Of this juggernaUt Of the plains.
Golden dreams OF wealth fitted
through the minds Of the members Of
the syndicate and where rolled the
murky- waters OF the Amazon it was
thought to gather harvest Of thOus-
ands and tens Of thousands Of bushels
Of wheat.
But man proposes and the natural
conditions Of a country dispOses Of the
man. The water in the irrigating canal
failed, the natural rainfall was insult
eient and the amount Of grain raised
was far below expectations The bubble
rbursted, the fires went out in the en-
CINE and the projectors paid the costs.
Where once the bright shares laid
open the earth, now peacefully Craze
the beef steer and his sister, and where
once the echoes we're awakened by the
siren whistle, now resOunds the yell Of
cowboys.
The golden dream Of wealth has
given way to the actual jingle Of Uncle
Sans dollars.
