THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : THUD AY , NOVEMBER 3 , 1S)1 ! ) > . BOTH FIGHTERS IN FINE TRIM Jeffries and Sharkey Dosatt Training Qim tors and Qo Into Oily. CHAMPION IS FAVORITE WITH THE SPORTS ShnrUoy Wiia iXrxrr In ItHlrr Cotull- tliin niul recln Coiillili-m Hull Ho Can AVhi 4li < - riininil | i * till V < -r > l.ltdo llcliltiK. NEW YORK , Nov. 2. Jim Jeffries anil Tom Shatkcy will fight tomorrow night In the arena of the Coney Island Sporting club for the heavyweight pugilistic championship of the world. Although Jeffries , as the champion and the bigger man , Is the favorite of the Bportlng men , many strange stories Irnvo been told of him since ho went to England nnd since hli return. Illlly Delaney - laney of San Francisco , who trained Corbett for his successful venture with Sullivan , eald today : "My man Jeffries will bo heard ot to good advantage tonight. 1 told you five months before ho met 1'ltz that It was a sure thing for him. Now take my advice , do not worry nbout all these stories which your hear ot Jim's sickness. He's all right and he'll win sure. " The Allenhurst training quarters were de- eertcd late this afternoon. Jeffries , Delaney - laney , Tommy Ryan and n party of attend- nnt closed up the shop nnd came to Now York. Early In the day Will Curlcy , the Jngllsh : featherweight , left the Allenhurst cottage , nccompanled by two of his spar ring partners. Eight hours later the entire fighting colony came to thl city. Before Jeffries left Allen hurst he had gone over several miles nt a Jog-trot , after which ho skipped the rope 750 tlmcfl with out a misstep and his leg movement was all that could bo desired. Other than this work he did nothing and ulrnply prepared himself for his move on Bharkey , ns he facetiously expressed It. When the camp inqvcd from Allenhurst nil bands were in the beet of spirits nnd none of them were more confident than Jet- Ties. They arrived hero late this afternoon and Immediately repaired to' the Vander- bllt hotel , where Jeffries will rest until to morrow evening. ExoriiiH ii < Slinrkcy'N ( luiirlor.N. The seaside resort at Nowdorp , S. I. , where Sharkey has been training for some weeks , was also the scene of an exodus this afternoon. Sharkey , who never seems to tire ot work , was on edge this afternoon when a message came from his manager , Tom O'Rourko of Now York , to break camp and come to the city. George Dixon , who has a very Interesting engagement on hand to night , has been In training steadily nnd earnestly with Sharkey for the last flvo weeks and both fighters took their release from their grueling neighbors as a boon. Sharkoy said : "I'm In tiptop condition ; BO Is George here. Aren't1 we , " said the Irish-American , addressing his little dusky partner. "You bet yer life , " replied George. "Hoth ot us will bo on top at the cud of the outfit. I'm surer of your success than I am of mine oud that means neither of ue can lose. " Sharkey was never In better condition. Ho has trained faithfully and , In every sense of the word , has lived up to the Instructions Elven him by bis manager. A comparison between his condition and that of Jeffries could scarcely bo drawn. Doth are fit , each has trained assiduously. Notwithstanding rumors to the effect that Jeffries is in an unfit condition ho seems to bo fit to fight lor his awd a dozen other men's lives and , as to Sharkey , to use the vernacular , "There Is nothing doing" if ho needs any Improve ment to win the championship. .A prominent man up town who Is in the labit of holding a great many bets said tonight : "There seems to bo a lack of sporting Wood , BO far ns bets go , on' tomorrow's flght. Interest seems at fever heat and yet snen will not wager their money. Queer reports In the respective training quarters of the fighters as to their inability to put up to a good argument scorn to have had a deterrent effect on the betting market. To my mind both men are In the best possible condition. The most conservative and well Informed patrons of the ring agree with mo that the contestants will have a hard battle for eight rounds and. If It lasts longer. It will be a question ot the man with the stamina to win. " IVwVHJS TM n I'Muht. ' Many sporting men from different parts ot the country arrived In this city tonight. They all came to see the big battle. Del- egations from Chicago , St. Louis , Kansas City , Minneapolis , Denver , Omaha , Cincin nati , AVashlngton , Baltimore , Boston , Buf falo and Albany registered nt the various hotcJs. Many of the visitors seemed to favor Sharkey , but they asked for cdds ot ten to six and an a result they made few wagers. The sale of seats for the contest has been enormous and the Indications point to the largest arermbloge ever seen nt the rlng- sldo in this country. Every box nnd moro than half the reserved seats have been sold tip to midnight tonight. As the manage ment ot the Coney Island club Is charging J10 moro for box seats than was ever asked for u championship battle in this vicinity before all concerned will reap n rich har vest. The winner of the contest will re ceive three-quarters of CO 2-3 per cent of the gross receipts. It was estimated tonight that the wlnucr'd share would bo about $30- 000 , qulto a sung sum for an evening's work , Jeffries and Sharkey are scheduled to en ter the ring at ilfleon minutes to 10 o'clock. Ench principal has promised to bo In the quarters at the clubhouse at 9:30 : o'clock. Jeffries' dressing room will bo on the west eldo of thu building , the snmo ho occupied when ho fought Kitzsimmons. Sharkey will use the dressing room on the east aldo of the building. Preceding the big event there will bo a ton-round bout between ' "Kid" Dotilettc ot Rochester uud Tommy Moran of Brooklyn. They will fight at 128 pounds.

NEGOTIATE FIRST TREATY Chlim anil Mexico Kilter Into a Con vention for Mutual AVASHINOTON , Nov. 2. For some tlmo negotiations have been in progress In Wash ington toward establishing treaty relations between China and Mexico. The negotia tions have been carried on by Ambassador Aeplroz of Mexico and Minister Wu Ting Fang of China and arc now so far along that the signing of the instrument is expected to occur early next week. Aside from its Importance in being the flret treaty ever negotiated between the two countries , Its terms are such as to yield large bcnetlts to each of the contracting parties , Provision Js made by which Mexico will receive the benefits of the "favored nation clause , " Insuring as low duties on Imports as those given to any other country. Mexico will also receive the right of extra-tcrrl- torlallty In China. Another advantage se cured by Mexico will bo access to the Im portant treaty ports of China , which servo as the gateways to the commerce of the em pire. Up to this time Mexican trade in China has been admitted nt the treaty ports , not ot right , but on suffrnnce. On the part ot China other important advantages are gained under the treaty. There Is a considerable number of Chinese In Mexico -who thus far have not had the protection secured by a treaty and by the presence of consuls and a diplomatic repre sentative ot the government. China also receives favored nation treatment nnd a number of other advantages in trade anO navigation. AVbcn the treaty Is consum mated the two governments will proceed to establish their respective ministers and con sular representatives In each country. A unique feature of the treaty Is that English Is selected as the "official language , " insteai of French , which Is the universal language of diplomacy.

A frlngo of Ice forma around the- edges of tlu > lakes every night the year round , yet they contnln nn excellent variety of flsh , called the pojerray , which Is caught near the shore nnd sold at Puna nnd In other nelKhhorliifl towns. The two largest lakes , Snracoeln nnd Cochlpascuna , with several smaller ones In the same neighborhood , are owned by the family of Mr. Homnna. of Arcqulpn , who has just been elected president of Peru. He owns Immense trr.cts of land In this locality , with thousands of sheep , cattle , llamas , al pacas nnd vicunas , which are herded upon It. A curious phenomenon about the lakes la that they keep at the same level all the time , regardless of the dry nnd rainy sea sons. No amount of rain will make any difference with their depth , which , how ever , In the center Is unknown. And this adds to the nwo and mystery with which they arc regarded by theIndians. . There are no boats upon the lakes , except a few- small balsas , or rafts , made of bundles of straw , which keep very close to the chore , for fear of being drawn Into whirlpools that are said to xlst In the center. There la some foundation for this fear , for only two or three ye-ars ago a balea containing five men disappeared In the darkness , and was never heard of again. Of course , It may have tipped over nnd Its occupants have been paralyzed by the cold water In art or dinary way. Hut their bodies never wore discovered , nor did the balsa ever Heat to shore. Therefore the people think the whole party was lured Into a maelstrom and swallowed up by the unysterious waters. The whirlpool near the center of Lake Pope which receives the waters of Lake Tltleaca Is well known and hundreds cf men have lost their lives by venturing too near It. Boats that nre drawn Into the current are whirled swiftly around a few times and ( hen disappear. Kor the pro tection of navigators the government of Bolivia has anchored n lot of buoys In Lake Pope and boatmen who observe them are In no danger. There supposed to be an underground outflow from all of these lakes. It Is claimed that articles which have been thrown Into their waters have afterward been picked up on the scacoast near Africa , and careful observers gay that on the beach In that locality are frequently found cornstalks , reeds and other debris which do not grow on the coast , but are found In great abundance among the In terior lakes. WHY DO IIIHDS MIGRATE ? Quentlon Which NuturallwtN Arc Still Vnnlilc to u\Kfce Upon. A scientific journal deplores the lack of trustworthy data explanatory of the migra tion of birds. Naturalists have alwavs dif fered on this subject , and the reason whv birds migrate Is fctill a mystery. It is un doubtedly n matter of Instinct , and nlso of example from older to younger bird ! , . In many cases the setting in of tin early or late winter may be foretold by the early or late migration of birds from north to south. Some extraordinary stories are told of things done by birds In carrying- out this migratory Instinct. It has been calculated that the Virginia plover llles at n height of two mileF , nnd nt a speed of 223 miles an hour. It is recorded that a Wilson's black cap warbler arrived at n certain bush in the north in three successive years nt 1SO : p. m. of the same day. One correspondent considers that the migration is fullv ac counted for by the susceptibility of the birds to temperature Influences ; that they seek in winter a warmer and in summer u cooler air , BO as to avoid being subjected to great climatic vicissitudes. But most naturalists hold that the migrations nro Inreelv a matter of thn search after food They leave a given region because a specl- llo food Is exhausted , nml thev flv to another spoclllc region because the ex periences of the tribe ns a whole have shown that desirable food can be found there. It Is not the winds that drive thorn , nor the temperature that tempts them : but sheer htmsrer fo-n-s thorn from nno nlnoo to another. The only weak point about this theory is that often the birds dlsnroeai without any npimront reason , when fond conditions are seemingly perfect. The mat ter is still as great n puzzle to the cleverest ornithologist as to any one else. THIS HUAl/rr MAH1C1JT. INSTRUMENTS placed on record Thurs day , November 2 , 1S ! 9 : ' \Vitrrini4y IJoeilN.

Lr. ) Thomas J. Hlllls of this city stlired tip somu discussion hy n paper en alcohol. Alcohol , ho said , was of many kimli. As an Ingred ient In alcoholic drinks It Is not necessarily harmful. New whisky ho denounced im unlit for use. It Is the quality ot the alcoholic product , not its quantity , that should be condemned. Dr. Unite put alcohol first among general stimulants niul heart tonics , and paid that It was an excellent food in many cases where other foods could not bo retained. Ho then paid his respects to the temperance people In the following manner : "Tho man Is Justified \\lio , feeling Inse cure , puts up n lightning rod to protect his house ; so Is the man who cannot luiudlo al cohol in a rational manner equally justified In taking a pledge nnd attaching himself tea a temperance society. There he will haVe an opportunity with the others to put lilmself on exhibition as a weakling nnd a jToraon without moral strength or resolutionVtiut ho has no right to denounce alcohol bTcause of his weakness any moro thaiV he should a lamp pool which hef" was * unfortunate enough to run foul oi when under the lulluence ot his potation. The phjelclan above all men must not bo fright ened away from his obligation to hla patient by the noise and clamor made by the clergy man or the temperance orator , the fontncr of whom may know nothing of alcohol , the lat ter too much. It Is dinicult to contemplate without pity the position of these poor men , conscripts from the medical profession and others acsciubled In the moral blockhouse , unconscious that no war exists , but who are fighting for principles that have been con ceded , and deaf to the bugle blast of common Ecnse , which demands rc < oscillation and re union as a common benefit to all. ; "Alcohol la a form ot food already digested. "It has a place on the sldeboaid and It must have a place In the sick room until we discover another agent moro efficient { and able to supplant It by virtue ot Its availabil ity and physiological action. No such asent , however , line yet been discovered , the opin ions of others to the contrary notwithstand ing. " j Duffy's pure Malt whisky is the purest al coholic stimulant known to the medical pro fession. No sick room or hospital should be without It. Over 7,000 doctors , who bel'leve as Dr. Hlllls does , prescribe and recommend It ; It Is also used In nearly every prominent hoppltal exclusively. Wrlto for our Interesting book cf Informa tion.
