The newspapers byre continue to ex press keen pleasure at the sympathy of the United States. The St. Jaimes Ga zette says: “Fiew more graceful examples could be imagined of the courteous spirit of Amer ican sympathy with this country, which has been so often evident of late, than the project of the American ladies’ hos pital ship, which will probably be fitted out with many of those American nurses whose services were so highly valued dur ing the Cuban War. This is the first example of a hospital ship provided by a nation which is at i**uce for another during tin* stress of war, and: the wide spread and generous responses to its ap peals from both sides of the Atlantic show how warmly the merciful idea is ac cepted by the citizens in both countries.” PRISONERS AT PRETORIA.

New York, Nov. 2. —Jim Jeffries and Tom Sharkey will tight tomorrow night in the arena of tlw* Coney Island Sport ing Club lor the heavyweight pugilistic* championship of tlw* world. Although Jeffries, as the champion and the bigger man, is the favorite of sporting men, many strange stories have been told of him since he went to England and since his return. Billy Delaney, of San Fran cisco, who trained Corbett for his suc cessful venture against Sullivan, said today: “My man Jeffries will be heard from to good advantage tomorrow night. I told you five months ago lief ore he met Fitzsimmons that it was a sure thing for him. Now take my advice, don’t worry about all those stories which you hear of Jim’s sickness, lie’s all right, and lie’ll win sure.” Sharkey was never in better condition. He hits trained faithfully and in every sense of the word has lived up to the instructions given him by his manager. A comparison between his condition and tliat of Jeffries could scarcely lx- drawn. Both are tit. Each has trained assidu ously. Notwithstanding rumors to the effect that Jeffries is in an unfit condi tion, he seems to be fit to fight for his and »» dozen men’s lives and as for Sharkey, to use the vernacular “there* is nothing doing” if he needs any improve ment to win the championship. A prominent man up town who is in the habit of holding a great many bets, said tonight: “There seems to lx* a lack of sporting blood so far as bets go, on tomorrow’s tight. Interest seems at fever heat and yet men will not wager their money. Queer reports in the respective training quarters of the fighters as to their in ability to put up a good argument seems to have had a deterrent effect in the betting market. To myyfiiind both men are in the best possible condition. The most conservative and well informed patrons of the ring agree with me that the contestants will have a hard battle for eight rounds, and if it lasts longer it will lie a question of tlw* man with the stamina to win out.” his liabilities $5,000,000.
