JACK DEMI'SEY DYING Consumption About to Claim Him as a Victim. HAS HUT A KKW DAYH TO L1VK Ths lltn of Murw Than Throw-Hours and Toa Haiti Vlahtliii HI .i right. Portland, Or., (Jet 84. Jack Dump oy, the Nonpareil, from whom Fits iuiniim won hi title to the middle weight championship of the world, I dying at hi homo, iu thi city, 8H9 (irauii avenue. The dread disease fastened itself upon him during hi last Eastern tour, which oommouoed about eighteen mouth ago, aud when he returned home last July, hi physi cian, Dr. Harry La no, pronounced hi case ImiKiles. Other phylciaim of note were consulted, but all agreed with Dr. Lane that the noted ring gen eral might live a few month, but hi case would terminate fatally. Last night the Nonpareil's condition was considered critical, so critical, iu fact, that a rumor wa current on the streets that the end had come. A re porter on calling at the house at a lute hour, fouuil no uoullrmutiou for this rumor, but Msoertuiucd that tbe ex- champion ws sinking rapidly, and the end might come any time. Dr. liarry Lano, who ha been a per si mul friend and medical advisor of Dcmpsoy since ho llrst came to Port laud, U'U year ago, said hint night that Mrs. Dempaoy had lawn cognizant of her husband' true condition for many weeks, aud, like a true wife, hud kept back her grief, that his last day uiigt be peaceful. "1 uuver hud the heart to tell poor Jack," said tho di:tor. "He would not have believed me had I told him, for he never did take much stisjk in the opinions of medical men. He ha boon planning what he would do when ho got well, and we have planned with him. it has leen hi ambition to wit ties tbe coming will between Fitzsim nmus and Corbett. aud with me and others of his frieuds he has spout hour discussing the matter, after a sick mail' fashion. Ho think Corbett will win if he keep hi head, but ha an excellent opinion of the Australian' wonderful prowess in the riug. He say that the fight will be a terrible one, and will probably last a long time." THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY. Kualanl Sorklna on Kntrantio to the l.old Mlil or the Vukon. Hostile, Oct. 25. Tho agitation of the Alaskan boundary question ha been taken up bodily by the American residents of Juneau, aud a move is now beiug made to form a boundary club at that plaoe, to keep the people aud tho government fully alive to the danger of losing the invaluable Yukon mines. A already indicated, the war-cry, "Teu marine leagues or fight," is be ing sounded. The situation is clearly niveii by O. B. Swiuehart, editor of the Alaska Mining Keoord, at Juneau, who i uow in this city. He say: "If Kugliuid can effect an entrance to tho Yukon country she will be satis (led, aud she hope to aoocmplish that object by securing Dyea inlet a a port of entry. She will also try to obtain Annette .island, but will waive that and all other consideration in order to control the rich mine of tho north. She would undoubtedly relinquish all claim to the rest of tho territory to gain her end, aud, if ho succeeds, we might as well give up any claim to Alaska. " F. Otis Smith, editor of tho Alaskan, published at Sitka, is also in this oity. He says: "All Kugland wants is a seaport at the entrance to tbe Yukon country, and ho has raised thi pretended claim on the southern boundary so that 8he may figure in the eyes of the world as magnanimous. She will forego this olaim, magnanimously, if tho United States will admit the claim she i set ting up iu the Chilkat country and let her have a seaport, giving access to the Yukon. But tho bouudary has long bwu established, aud I do not see why we should submit anything to arbitra tion." Brand to lletollate. New York, Oct 25. A special of the Herald from Bnenos Ayre says Rio Janeiro, Braxil, telegraphs that, in the event Braail should be ompclled to pav what her government regard as outrageous demand made by European nations, she will retaliate. Retalia tion will take the form of an increased rate of duty upon all goods entered at the custom-house from countries which press their claims. The cabinet has already decided this qnestion.

Otfciimis- aioner-Ueueral Stump, of the immigra tion bureau, has reporteu to tne secre tary of the treasury the result of an investigation recently made by him in person of tho allegation that Japanese ueru imnorted into this country under contract iu violation of the alien-con-tract-lubor law. The commissioner- general visited all the port in the NnrtliweKt at which Japanese could enter the Unitod States i-u tbePaciflo ooust, and, after tho examination of all the facts, be finds no reason to lear an influx of Jaoanese. and tho statement that numbers t them have been im properly admitted, he say, l untrue ithoufc foundation. He finds that it i not the policy of the Japan ese government to encourage emigra tion, and that Japan cause eacn per mm leiiviinr the country to be supplied with a passport, which is only furnish ed those having ample means to reacu their domination. The census of 1890 showed that at that time there were 8.0S0 Japanese in the country, and it is the opinion of the commissioner that thi immlier baa not been materially increased. The arrival of Japanese at all ports in 1BU4 l statoa to nave Deeu 1,931, aud during the last fiscal year i.i fid. a decrease for the year of 781. The number of Japanese' who arrived at San Francisco during the last half of the fiscal year is given at 329. At Vancouver, the arrivals lor tne same period amounted to 884.

IKOJIK MKTHODH OK lKttlUATISO live Plan For Illrlbutln Water Teted at the I'tah Utlon-How to Make reel Oder. In Utah there are two ooiumon y tem in vogne. One i the system of cov ering the ground with water, or .Imply flooding it, and the other ia irrigation by furrow. Everything that can be planted iu row i o planted and fur row plowed between the row. With the small grain an instrument or ma chine is run through the field Jut after planting, leaving the ground in small farrow alwmt a foot apart When thi machine i crudely made, it is called a "go devil," and the practice is called "go deviling." With corn, potatoes, beet, etc., the furrow syntm of irriga tion i practiced. At the Utah station, along with other methods, wa tested the merit of these two system by di rect comparison of tho yield by the two methods with both wheat and corn. Tbe common flooding system g"ve an in-creui-i'il yield of more than 2'i per cent overtbut irrigator! by the furrow or "go devil" st m. The yield of struw was ulho increased by flooding. This being the work of but one season it may be well to tuko tho results with somo cau tion. Iu the corn tests, which covered four years, the fnrrow irrigation was that commonly in use. The corn whs planted in bills and furrow rnn through one way and the water allowed to run through these furrows bet worm the row. In flooding the com was irrigated a is a level field of wheat by simply cover ing the entire surface with water. Re sults show that for every year except 1891 there was un iucreuHe of yield in corn amounting in 1894 to more than 03 per cent by the method of flooding over the furrow irrigation. The aver age for the four year show an increase of more than 15 per cent by flooding. The yield of stover was the same for tbe first two years by both systems, while for the lust two years there was an in crease by flooding, making for the aver ago of the four years an increase of near ly 10 percent in the stover for the flood ing over the furrow irrigation. Follow ing is a summary of the tests made: Of five different methods of distribut ing water ou grass land distributing by a network of small ditches gave tbe bent results. The methods which dis tributed the water most evenly over the ground gave the highest yields. There was an increaf-e iu yield of wheat of more than 28 per cent by tbe common flooding system over the furrow or "go devil" system. Result of dupli cate plats for but one year. With corn there was an increase of more thau 15 per cent by flooding over the furrow system. The coru stover in creased nearly ten percent by the flood ing system over the furrow system. Professor P.ichman at this station found that "irrigating potatoes by flood ing gave better results than irrigating between the rows." As the hilliug method of cultivation is found to decrease the yield as com pared with level cultivation, it is thought probable that this had as much to do with the results as did tho differ ent methods of irrigation. By flooding fields of coin the same as wheat and cultivating tbe ground as soon as dry enough we have reached a yield of more than 90 bushek per acre of White Flint coru, the average for five years being 46.72 bushels per acre. When the flooding system is practiced, it is thought that cultivation at just the proper time is very important Sweet Cider. Numbered with popular methods for keeping cider sweet is one explained by Farm, Field and Fireside: Add to the cider after it has begun to ferment as much white sugar as will equal one fonrih to three-fourths pound to each gallon of cider, according to the acidity of the apples. Then let fermentation proceed until it has the taste to suit, then add one-fourth ounce sulphite not sulphate of lime to each gallon of ci der. The sulphite should first be dis solved iu a quart of cider before putting it into tho barrel. Agitate briskly, then lot the cider settle, and the fermentation will cease at once. Let it stand three days to become clear, then draw off and bottle carefully, or remove the sediment and return to the clean cask. It is also told that cider may be pre served absolutely sweet by puttiug it up in airtight cans after the nianuer of preserving fruit The cider should be first settled aud racked or drawn off from the dregs, aud fermentation should not be allowed to commence before cau ning. Keeping of Winter Squashe. The squashes onght to be thoroughly ripened before tnkeu from the vines and gathered before they are nipped by frost Handle carefully. If intended for win ter use, they must not be bruised or tbe stem broken, as the slightest injury will increase tbe liability to decay. Discard all the soft shelled or unripe ones. Much depeudson keeping them from moisture. Dampness and an uneven temperature are fatal to good keeping. If kept in a warm, damp cellar, they will soon rot The best plan is to place them on a shelf or on the floor in A frostproof garret If stored in heaps, the under ones will send out tbe moisture and cause the whole lot to rot in a short time.
