spoIxane's Soldiers Mt Home.

Spokane, Nov 6.-Amid the shrieking
of whistles, the ringing of bells and cheers
from thousands OF human threats, the
train bringing home the returning Spo-
kane heroes rolled into the Northern Pa
cifc depot at 9:O5 this morning.
From every car window the boys were
hanging out their heads, eager to catch
a first glimpse of the loved relatives and
friends who were lined up along the plat
form to receive them.
Many was the hearty handshake and
loving kiss that was exchanged before the
train finally came to full stop and the
boys began to climb off to be embraced
by the mothers, sisters and sweethearts
who were there to greet them.
AS the train pulled into the depot the
first thing to be seen by the expectant
crowd which had assembled to meet it was
"Old Glory" waving at the head. Armed
with the colors, Corporal Milton Rhoads
and Private Walter Haskins had taken
their place on the cowcatcher at Mar
shall and rode it into the city.
At the depot to welcome the boys was
one of the largest crowds that has ever as
sembled in this city. The depot platform
was crowded to its full capacity, the wait
ing room was full of people, and the
crowd extended all the way down Bernard
street to Riverside avenue

James ]. Jeffries retains the cham
pionship of the world. Referee George
Siler giving him the decision at the end
of the 25th round over sailor Tom
Sharkey, at the Coney Island Sporting
Club.
1t was one of the most marvellous bat
ties that has taken place, and the great
est crowd that ever gathered in the
Coney Island club house witnessed the
desperate struggle for supremacy. In
five rounds Jeffries had the better of the
fight-in the first two and the last
three; during the other 20 Sharkey
forced the issue, and, like bull ter
rier, was at his man with all his force
increasingly. In those 20 rounds JEFF
ries' great weight and Drawn helped
him hold off the sailor, and in the 22d
round he swung in a couple of vicious
uppercuts that made Sharkey groggy.
Tom came back again in the oath and
25th, but he was weakened greatly by
Jeffries' vicious blows. One minute be-
fore the gong sounded to end the fight
Jeffries' left glove came off and prac-
cree motioned to Jeffries' corner, an
American flag was flung over the cham
pion's shoulders, and the crowd on that
side and end of the arena cheered wild
ly. The crowd on the opposite side and
end in Sharkey's corner yelled for
Sharkey, and the men were led back
to their dressing rooms.
When seen in his dressing room after
the contest Jeffries said:
"Sharkey is the hardest and best
man / have ever met and I hardly ex-
pect to meet better one in the future.
Within six months have met and de-
feated the best two men in the world
and will now take a long rest, probably
nine months or a year. Never again
will l fight under the same conditions.
The heat from the lights overhead tend
ed to take away a great deal of my
steam and the glare from the floor
weakened my eyes. My left arm, the
one that was injured while training,
gave out in the fourth round and
could not use it properly for the rest
of the battle or the result would have
been different, for / think that l could
have knocked him out. Sharkey is a
game man and hard to beat, but had
no thought of any different result at
any time during the battle. After my
rest which 1 think the public will agree
that l deserve l will again be ready to
meet any and all who aspire to my
title"
Sharkey was iEconsolable and cried
like child when he went to his quar-
tiers and refused to talk, but Tom
O'Rourke, has manager, expressed the
opinion that the sailor should have re-
ceived the decision. He said that two
of Sharkeys ribs were broken and that
during the last four rounds Toms left
on Jeffries' hand. Although the decis-
ion was against him he said Sharkey
would not give up, but would seek an
other match and the next time the re-
suit would be different.
But 1 don't think this fellow will
want to tackle Tom again." said
O'Rourke, his manager, expressed the
until he agrees to another meeting or
make him crawl"
Bob Fitzsimmons was greatly pleased
at the result of the fight, declaring that
his contract to fight the winner brought
him once more the chance to fight JEFF
fries, who wrested the championship
from him.

Beers ARE STILL Aggressive
LADYSMITH HAS SURRENDERED
DR.. Leyds Receives Private Advice
1t Says That Whites Army Has
CapituIated-NavaI Guns in Action
-CoIenso Has Been Evacuated.

New York, Nov. ga cable from Brus-
sells says it is stated that Dr. Leyds has
private advices to the effect that Lady
smith has fallen before the Boer attack
and that the remnants of Whites army
are prisoners of war. The report can not
be confirmed. 1t is known that Leyds
has constantly kept in communication
with Pretoria and Transvaal, despite the
fact that the British hold the wires and it
is believed that British reverses will first
be known on the continent.
Fearful Artillery Duel.

tions, nearer the town and commanding.

this morning General White ordered the

to the Beers one"
London, Nov. 5.-Colenso has been evac-
uated today.
This is undoubtedly most serious mat
ter for the British in Natal, as it not only
testifies to the complete investment of
Ladysmith by the Beers, but makes the
relief of General Sir George Stewart
White an extremely difficult operation.
The railway from Ladysmith crosses Tu-
gela at Colenso, which is now in flood.
The town itself is of small importance. 1t
is dominated by the hills on the north
side of the river and so was untenable if
the Beers have advanced, as they seem to
have done. Moreover, only a small naval
and colonial force was stationed at Co
lenso.
The seriousness of the evacuation, how
ever, lies in the fact that Commandant
Joubert, while completely investing Sir
George White at Ladysmith, can seize this
Tugela bridge and if he has sufficient
troops can detach force and send it
southwark on Pietermaritzburg, and in
any case by destroying the bridge and rail-
way can prevent any relief expedition
reaching Sir George White for some time
