The Chicago Rec ord's London correspondent cables: " The scene of the. first attack of the Boers an Gerier'ai White's fine, is, im portant, inasmuch as it shows that the jTansvajalers are followers of a well defined plan. Below Joubert, jon the Tug-el a river, is an armyN that numbers 33,uuu men. witnin liadysmith camp f there are at ldast 8,000, while the Boers number from 25,000 to 30,000 men. On the south ' of Ladysmith there, is; a strong position ealled Caesar's .'camp, fortified, and.standifng a little VSetached from- the main circle of entrenchments. This was the objective of the Boer as sault, which was delivered. wfth such boldness that the Gordon Highlanders and Manchesters had to drive them back' at the point of the bayonet . It Is part of the Boer policy to over power if possible this isolated- position, hot only because there wouid thus be gained an elevation from which to threaten the more closely beleaguered garrison,, but because thus a force, would be interposed between. White's sortie and Buller's advance. The Boers left the trench at Colenso "and galloped, uphill to their comrades "further north, obviously a concerted move, and it was expected before Buller founld the trenches in front of him fully occupied, TOWN ATTACKED ON ALL SIDES, Another significant fact is that the Boers overcome their dislike -for cold steel. The Morning Post's correspond ent, telegraphing from Frere Camay Saturday -afternoon adds, on the strength of private heliographic mes-j sag-e -from LadysmitW that the town; and camp were attacked on all sides in great force anS that three distinct at-r tacks were repulsed. Commenting on this information,, the Morning Post savsS -J t "There -ban "be tttoese "uttaeks meanc: rrnff'Boer com- mander Friday rugflt sure in3 ne had secured a day dr two,1 or even more, 'during which he could1, attack Ladysmith, - without the possibility of interference by General Buller. His lines south of Tugela river could neith er becarried nor turnefl ln less than, a day, and a second -dy would be needed to get General Buller's force aoross the Tugela; and when there, except in case of a direct move by Colenso, which after the last battle was" unlikely, General Buller would be more than a day's march from his objective . ! "As a matter of calculation the-probability, of, the chance of General White's escaping frorm the grlp'of the Boer forces that surrouna him is indis tinguishable "from; hat,of the chance that General Buller will attack .and, der feat the Boers 'in front-of (him-. While General White's resistance is unbrok en General Builer on, Saturday was not ready. His resource on hearing of the attack on General White -was to order a demonstration. He might as well have ordered a display -of fireworks. TIME FOR VIGOROUS ACTION .

" EXAMINATION FRfE. lWJ;fISiISt TJERRUlcGOVERN -' WINS If) EIGHTH ? - After a Game Tistnhe little Colore JCiampion Throws Up the Sponge; , "-Great Crowd Pre ent. New York, Jan. 9. Hopelessly beat- thoughk - oot quite . knocked out George Dixon -surrendered the title of !&3 the featherweight championship to T6rry McGovern, lnTthe eighth round, at the Broadway Athletic cluib tonieht. J ORourke,- Dixon's chief second, per formed an act of, -mercy when he threw UP the sponge, the little colored man had been knocked down five times and there was no hope for him. His career warranted a merciful end ing, for no pugilist in the worfd, today can show .a cleaner or more sports manlike record th&ai Dixon. Though nfr .indulged, in more than eight hun dred contests, he probably never met a "man' before equal to McGovern. It ws truly u test of youth and. strength against age and experience. McGovern showed conclusively that he is the fighting marvel of n the present time. irnperviaus-to-aJl blows, regardless of the best scientific methods, he simply triumphed because of. his magnificent pinysique, bulldog tenacity and wonder ful punching' ability. Thexfight was the fastest and most sensa.tional, encounter at the . weight that has ever been seen in this coun try. Fiora the first stroke of the gong until the endoame it was a' desperate battle. Dixon was in splendid condi tion but he was not the Dixon who WOn the title ten years ago. Still it dam be sard that he is the best feath er weight American, barring his con queror. i '; Dixon proceeded from the start to mix it up. Had he, stayed, away and. used defensive tactics he might have lasted much longer. But there is no doubt that he would have been ulti mately worn own, for McGovern was wo strong arijp aggressive ior mm at every stage. rf''For the first six rounds, Dixon sur prised the crowd of five thousand spectators;" He indulged in repeated rallies with MeGovern, giving blow for wow andi showing an equal hitting power. Dixon did the leading for the greater part of this time, driving his left into the stomach end also to : the neefc. Whenever the ocasion present ed itself George whiped over his right th'lairg'wtr-hindition Would IIHT , thesejWowa wee QOughtqJftqpr, an prdiiraryDoxer nui icpvertt siwu up under then without weakening. Once or twice Terry staggered from the force of the punches, tout Jn each case he -only increased the vigor of his at tack. McGovern followed out a plan of ac tion that showed careful study, e went after Dixon's body just as he did in his fight with Palmer. Wfth swift ly moving hands he ripped in body blows every time he got a chance, es pecialiy in" the clinches and he used his free hands upon the heart and, kidneys. Gradually the blows of . the former champion lost steam and when he be gan to hold ton. in the clinches the vet eran ring followers saw the beginning of the end. McGovern ' shifted his tactics in the last two or three rounds by swinging heavily for the Jaw and head. One .punch took Dixon's nOse in the seventh round. As the fight pro gressed McGovern seemed to become stronger and more vicious, with the Mao f winrtiner decisively. Dixon was T,aKio to atave off McGovern. Terryv literally beat down hist guard; With his nose broken and his face bruised in several places, with , .hls body hiajnmered and his wind gone, it was not strange that Dixon came up. for the. eighth round ,with weak legs. He once raoremlxed . up matters. A hook ort the jaw, followed by a swift, accurate -body punch j finally knocked Dixon down. He had slipped to the boards once or twice before but not from the force of. punch. This knock down was practicalry the direct cause of McjGovern's victory. It took all of Dixon's remaining, strength away, and made him virtually .helpless. Dixon got to his, feet after the referee had. count ed nine . seconds end - prepared tk re ceive another Onslaught.

Then he was told it was useless to proceed any further, and he accepted his defeat in a way that made every man in the crowd his friend. The receipts amounted to about $350.- 000, of which one-half went to the fighter. Of that amount McGovern will receive about 311,000.' Perhaps no , fteht i between feather weights has ever attracted the attention of the eporting- Tublic as thla one. George Dixon tolas been in the rfog oon- tSmuously for the past tnirteem years for nine of which ne has hem the champion ship. He lias tought over 100 set bat tles, not to speak of hundreds of men he has put to sleep when meeting jail com ers on theatrical tours. .- It is estimated he has earned In purses and stakes over $200,000, and as a money maker is eec ond only to Johan L. Sumvaun.- and like him has litstle or none left." He made it public several weeks ago that win or QJose last night he wouia retire, and prep arations for a monster benefit to be ten dered him to commemorate Ms retire ment from the ring have been almost completed. The affair wfll be held in about two weeks. Terry-McGovenn, ban tam . champion of the . World, moves up notch n wresting Dixon s feather- laurels from the dark skinned champ5on. His recent battles with Pedier Palmer. champion of England, , and Harry Forbes, of Chicago, shows him lo be a fighter on the order of John. L.
