New York, Nov. 3.-James j. JEFF
fries, champion pugilist, this morning
sent kilograms informing his friends
that his condition was better than
when he met Fitzsimmons. He
weighs five pounds more than he did
at that time Trainer Billy Delaney
said today that Jeffries was trained in
some particulars in opposition to his
(Delaney's) wishes. Delaney OBJ
jected to Jeffries continual running
and sweating. All Jeffries friends
consider him to be in the pink of per-
fection and are confident he will whip
Sharkey tonight. Billy Delaney in
spite of his objections to the severe
methods of training adopted by JEFF
fries says he sees no possibility of
defeat. Jeffries and his trainers left
at 10 O'Clock for Coney Island. JEFF
fries will remain quiet there the re
mainder of the day Sharkey went
6..1ec.ly from the training quarters to
Coney Island. In betting odds of 10
to 7 are given ON Jeffries.
New York, Nov. 3.-Sharkey said
he felt in prime condition and was
confident as ever he would win.

During the winter of 1897, Mr..
James Reed, one of the leading citi-
zens and merchants Of Clay, Clay Co.
w. Va, struck his leg against a cake
of ice in such a manner as to bruise
it severely. It became very much
swollen and panied him so badly that
he could not walk without the aid OF
crutches. He was treated by physi.
clans, also used several kinds of lin
iment and two and half gallons OF
whiskey in bathing it, but nothing
gave any relief until he began using
Chamberlains Pain Balm. This
brought almost complete cure in a
weeks time and he believes that had
he not used this remedy his leg would
have had to be amputated. Pain Balm
is unequaled for sprains, bruises and
rheumatism. For sale by K. d. Good

The Commission Says That Per
manent American Control
Is Essential.
SUGGEST GOVERNOR GENERAL
To Be Assisted In Governing the
Islands by Cabinet of Chiefs
of the Tribes.

New York, Nov. "a special to the
Herald from Washington, says: With
the submission of their preliminary
report to the president, members OF
the Philippine commission felt at lib
erty for the first time since the arri'
val in the United States to partly dis
cuss the subject of their investiga'
tion. Said Admiral Dewey:
Il indorse every word of the com
missions admirable report l can
say this with perfect propriety for
the reason that / did not write it. On
every conclusion reached we were
unanimous. There never has been a
moment since the first gun was fired
that the United States could have
withdrawn from the islands, and the
reasons set forth in the report why
permanent American control is es-
sential, are in my opinion, immovable.
There is no other alternative. Later
advices show very decided improve
ment in the situation. | look for an
early termination of the war. In
fact, | firmly believe the bottom has
dropped out of the insurrection.
"As soon as the Tagalo insurrection
is suppressed" said President Schur-
man, "the United States should i'm
mediately establish a government to
be administered, first under the direc-
tion of the war department, but by
successive stages finely to be placed
in the hands of Filpinos undeer Amer
ican sovereignty. What character
this government shall be has not been
touched upon by the commission in
its preliminary statement 1t is pro-
posed to deal carefully with this mat
ter in the report of the commission.
/ should think at first there should
be a encouragement appointed by
the president who should be assisted
in administering the affairs of the is
land by cabinet composed of repre-
sentative men Of the several tribes.
This would eventually develop into
legislature of the archipelago. The
provinces should be administered by
Americans or educated Filipinos, un-
der American guidance, and the cities
and towns by mayors elected by the
people"

Secretary CAGES Currency Plan

New York, Nov. "a special to
1he Herald from Washington, says:
Secretary of the Treasury Gage, dis
,cussing with the Herald correspond
,ent the financial question, which will
come up for consideration by con
gress indicated very clearly that in
his annual report he will repeat in
a general way, his recommendation
for the establishment Of the golt
standard in law and for such reforms
in the banking laws as will give the
country a more elastic currency.

London, Nov. 3.-Belated dispatch
es from the British camp at Lady.
smith, Natal, add l.ltle -nlormation
i garding Mondays .ghc, except esti
mates of the Boer losses which are
now said to be 95 killed, 200 wound
ed, mostly victims of the artillery
shells which wrought such great
havoc that it is said that General
Joubert, the Boer commander in chief
in a written letter to General White,
the British commander, protested
against the use Of Lydlite. Accord
ing to all accounts the presence at
Ladysmith of the long range naval
guns and the splendid shooting of
the British commander, protested
proved the position of the British.
A temporary armistice was declared
Monday evening to allow the collec-
tion of the dead bodies and the wound
ed.
A dispatch from Kimberly, dated
October 29th, said all the wounded
were doing well. Small bodies of
Beers, about 400 strong, were then fire.
quently seen. They apparently came
from Mafeking for the purpose of
either assisting the attack on Kimber-
ly or to resist the advance of rein
forcements. The absence of water
outside the place causes the Beers to
continually move their camps.
London, Nov. 3.-While wires to
Ladysmith are cut, the optimism of
the war officials yesterday evening, in
refusing to believe that Ladysmith
has completely invested or Colenso
captured, appears to be justified.
This morning, it was asserted the
railroad is still open though traffic
has been conducted with the greatest
caution. What, however, was only a
rumor yesterday evening, may, it is
claimed, be reanty any moment, as
General Joubert with large and Won
derfully mobile force, is expected to
detach a force of several thousand
men and make dash ct the railroad.
Rumors of all kinds are springing up
here. 1t is even asserted that Gener-
al White has been compelled to fall
back on Pietermaritzburg, leaving the
wounded behind. Probably such ru-
mors have their origin in the recollec-
tion of an ominous silence which pre-
ceded the evacuation of Dundee. But
on the other hand, it is asserted the
conditions are altered and the British
guns now seem more than equal to
the artillery of the Beers, thus en-
hancing the difficulty of any assault
on the British lines
A Cape Town dispatch reports re
pulse of the Beers by the British yes.

London, Nov. 9.--An army order

with field guns, are concentrated a
