THE JEFFRIES OF OLD.

ball parlance, everything" He did

leaves open the question whether or
not Jeffries can go over a long route.
Jeffries has always been a law unto
himself and was the despair Of
Billy Delany, one of the greatest
trainers and makers of champion
pugilists in the history OF the game.
Jen always knew himself better
than anybody else. and this was
proven time after time when he was
preparing for his matches.

eral in the foreign offices of every Eu-

Awaited With Anxiety.
Japan's first move in this direction
has been awaited with anxiety. That
it is not far off was the declaration OF
a statesman who has closely studied
the far eastern problem. today.
A Russio-Japanese entente, reported
in dispatches received here, adds to
the complexity of the Korean and
problem. It is declared
that the object OF Ito's trip to Harbin
where he was shot, had as one of its
objects. the completion of tentative ar
