San Fbancisco, Feb. 18.-Over two thousand spectators wore present to wit ness the great battle between the -mid-dleweights, Jack Dempsey and Eillie MoCarty, which oame off to-night at the gymnasium of the California Athletic Club. Hiram Cook was appointed referee. Jack McAuliffe and Denny KfiiiAtitj were behind Dempsey and Jmirnie Car roll, and Paddy Goran, seconded Mc Carthy. The conditions of the con-est were that the men should weigh under 156 pounds, and when they appeared m the ring to-night, McCarthy was aJUtle under that figure and Dempsey was a few pounds lighter than his adversary. It was after nineo'clooK wnen lacfuu- eipals stepped into the ring.

Sixteenth rund This was the liveli-ilr eat round up to this time, and when it closed there were loud cheers for Demp sey. He landed on the Australian's body and jaw about as he pleased. The latter's eyes and checks began to puff up and when it closed he was evidently groggy. Dempsey repeated this punishment in the seventeenth, and though he stagger ed McCarthy with th blows he rained on his neck, he was not able to score a knock-down. Eighteenth round McCarthy seemed somewhat distressed, but oontinued to lead out for Dempsey's jaw. The only OREGON, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1890. punishment be received during the round was a sharp righthander under the arm. Nineteenth round McCarthy scored with his left on Dempsey's mouth, and received a rap on the chin which knock ed him back a few feet. Twentieth round Very little was done. Dempsey reached McCarthy's ribs once or twice, but the blows were light. Twenty-first round McCarthy struck Dempsey between the eyes with his left. Dempsey gave bim a vicious up percat as the round closed. Twenty-second round D e ni p s e y's right again fell heavily on the Australi an's neck and ribs. The latter turned completely around and struck Demp sey heavily on the stomach, receiving in return a terrific jab on the chin, which almost sent the Australian off hi3 feet. Twenty-third round McCarthy con tinued to fight stubbornly, but Dempsey by his quick movement saved himself from blows aimed at his face and body and was able to rap his antagonist hard before the round closed. Dempsey airain doubled McCarty over in the twenty fourth by a savage right hand blow just above the stomach, but when McCarthy recovered he reached the back of Dempsey'a neck with a hea vy right hand swing. DEMPSEY BEGINS THE KNOCKOUT. Little or nothing was done in the twenty-fifth ronnd, but in the twenty sixth Dempsey went in in earnest to fin ish his man. Three or four terrific risibt and left hand blows on the Australian's neck B3ade the latter extremely groggy, and then Dempsey hit him when and where he pleased. McCarthy staggered around the rin like a drunken man, and though Dempsey continued to rain blows on his neck, he kept his feet, till the Nonpareil, iu uilv tor his victim, asked him to give up. McCarthy retimed and as the round was about to close Demp sey would not puuisa him any more, but tool; him by the arm and led him to his corner, amid cheers. UEJirsEV TOTES HIS VICTIM. McCarthy came f-jrward iuthe twenty-fy-seveut'h just able to stand on his feet. A blow iu the face sent him to the floor. He arose, blood streaming from hia nose and mouth, and Dc-mpsey again sent him down. McCarthy rose a second 'una and Dempsey begged him to give np. McCarthy still refused, and Demp sey struck him lightly and he fell a third time but rose in eight seconds. More en treaties from Dempsey met with refusal from the Ausiralian to give up, and Dempsey knocked him down a fourth time. He struggled to his feet in tinia to save a knockout and the round clos ed. While McCarthy was led to his corner, covered with blood, loud cries were heard all over the house asking him to give up the fight. When tie gofig sounded for the twen- eightLfsMcC'n'thy staggered to the :etfor ot the rintr and Dempsey implor- iuen. prevailed ail over the .uifiliag! Mingled cries of "Knock him out, Jack,' 1 and "give it up, MoCarthv," were heard everywhere. The Australian still refuc- ed to acknowledge himself defeated, and Dempsey beat him into his corner and sen him down in . a heap. He arose again and leaned against the ropes for support. DEMPSEY S HEART FAILS HIM. Dempsey walked ud to finish him. but , his compassion for the pitiable object before him was too much tor the .Nonpa reil, so he stepped up to the referee and declared that he had not the heart to punish the man any further. Just then Paddy Gorman, McCarthy's second, Jke into the riug and dragged his .rl''-''r.al over into his corner and refus--rlo permit him to stay in the fight longer. Dempsey was accordingly de clared the winner, amid loud cheers from the 2000 men who admired his compassion for his game antagonist. HIS CALIFORNIA FRIENDS DELIGHTED. His Clear Head Mude Him Invincible. San Francisco, Feb. 19. There is but little talked about on the streets this morning aside from the great Dempsey and McCarthy fight last evening. The I ,.,rii ,r(:t,. Kni.tWI n, - ' ...... Dempsey again arising to the pinnacle fru which he was recently knocked by '.kmche. Those who were quick to against tho Nonpareil when his , c r'-. was announced, are now among ;.toremosfe who eloquently maintain at they always knew Jack was the .neatest man m the wond. lhereeeems b9 but one opmion al)0ut the fight, and that is that McCarthy was no match for Dempsey, although the former is game man aud a soiautifio boxer. But Dempsey's headwork was what did Mc-tf'?-rhy up. He was cautions and calcu lating, and these two qualities, taken in connection with a clear head made him almost invincible. President Fulda says it is one of the cleverest contests that has taken place in the history of the club. "Dempsey,' he says, "has regained all that he has lost, and resumes his former place among the great ones." Jimmie Carroll, who is to fight Jack McAuliffe, said: 'I am not at all Bur prised at the outcome of the tight. Mc Carthy made a gallant battle but Demp sey was too many for him, not so much from his strength and staying qualities as from his wonderful taotics." .K Ross Jackson, president of the Occi dental club, said: "I had no idea that the fight would result any other way than as it did. It was a fine exhibition." Hiram Cook, who acted as referee, said: "It was a great fight, and Demp sey showed himself to be a stayer, which he is." Tyranny of a Fettv Army Officer. Washington, Feb. 21. The following order of the secretary of war was to-day transmitted to General Ruger at St. Paul : By direction of the president the unexecuted portion of the sentence of D. P. Wild, late private of troop F, Eighth cavalry is remitted, in recogni tion of the fact that the punishment ad- judged was excessive in a marked de gree. The prisoner was ordered by the second lieutenant of his troop, M. F. Steele, to assist in placing a canvas upon a private Bhed. He refused to do so on the ground that he did not enlist to do such work. He was cursed and struck by the officer, soon after placed in con finement and brought before a court martial of which Steele was judge-advocate, convicted of disobedience of or ders and sentenced to dishonorable discharge, with forfeiture of all pay and allowance, and confinement in the military prison at Fort Snelling for one year. No action appears to bave been taken against Steele, whose breach of discipline was of an aggravated na ture. It is also grossly improper that Steele should be detailed as judge-advocate of the court. The president conld not believe this case just to the army that it should appear to be a fair illus tration of military justice. BURNT THE HALL AFTER THEM. Montana Republican Representatives Finish the .Session With a Big Fire. Minneapolis, Feb. 21. A Helena, Mont., special says: At 2 o'clook Ibid morning fire was discovered in the Gran ite block, and the building was complete ly gutted. There is no question but that the fire was caused by firecrackers carelessly thrown by members of the re publican legislature during the jollifica tion over the wind-up of the legislative session. The legislature's journal, books ancl papers were destroyed. The losses are: Helena Clothing Company, $52.",OOCr American Express Company. S5000 T. II. Cieinsmiiit, on buildiug, 20,000 and some miuor losses. Helena, Feb. 21 The legislature closed its ninety ibivs' sessiou at mid night last night, having accomplished nothing. At the eleventh hour the dem ocrats sprang a compromise proposition on the members of the house, and asked that all ten contestants resign and that a new election be held. They were in formed that the democratic claimants could appear in the house aud enter a formal contest which was refused. An unfortunate fire occurred last night, just after the house had dispers ed. About 2 o'clock flames were seen bursting out of the granite block, the building where the sessions have been held. After a severe fight the fire was controlled but the building completely, gutted. The origin of the fire was first ascribed to fire crackers, which the mem bers had used at the close of the session. Au examination of the premises aud statements by attaches contradict this however, and the fire is traced directly to incendiarism. The records are safe. Pendleton, Feb. 21. The two runa way Montana senators, Parberry and Redd, left here this afternoon on the Hunt line for Wallula, where they ex- Tit-M. fi-i i,.;r. f'-.e .i!h"r four who arc ptay- -wj III llnil'lliH. llley ".mi rolnrn tifc, once to Montana. The two senators be came apprehensive soon after arrival here that steps might be taken to com pel them to return and be counted and one evening left the hotel, intending, by advice of friends, to go to the house of a prominent democrat living in Adams precinct. The driver lost his way, and after being out nearly all eight they were brought back to town, where they have been keeping shady ever since. DESTRUCTIVE STORMS IN JAPAN.

DOM PEDRO A REPUBLICAN. Anxious to Resijrn and Return to Brazil as a Private Citizen, New York, Feb. 23. A Washington special says: Chas. A. Flint to-day told a correspondent that be had just seen a Paris letter from a close friend of the deposed Emperor of Brazil, stating posi tively that Dom Pedro will, when the constitutional convention meets in Rio Janeiro next fall, notify the body of his desire to renounoe all claims to his late title and ask that he be permitted to re turn to his people as a private citizen and aid them in firmly establishing the republic. The letter expressed the opin ion that as soon as the convention has received Dom Pedro's resignation, an ironclad will be dispatched to Europe to bring Dom Pedro and family back to their native land. Flint said: "I am thoroughly convinced this will be done." The Peralto Land Grant Case Decided. Washington, Feb. 21. Commissioner Groff, of the general land office, has rendered a decision in the celebrated Peralto grant case in Arizona, in which he holds that no grant of the charter claimed was ever made. He has decided against the claimants on every point, and orders the case stricken from the sur veyor general's docket. The claim has been for many years before the depart ment, and involves about 4,000,000 acres in the central part of Arizona. Bismarck's Policy Condemned by the People. THE GOVERNMENT IN A MINORITY. The Empress Sympathizes With The Working; People Bismarck's Last Vote The Beginning of a new Era in Ger many's Politics. Beelin, Feb. 20. The general elec tion for members of the reichstag took place to-day. The vote polled was phe nomenal. Election officials were over whelmed with work, and the polling places were unable to keep up with the crowds of electors who during the din ner hour hastened to deposite their votes. A majority of the factories were closed during the day. Many anti-Semitic conservatives voted for socialist candi dates in order to spite Virchow. Berlin, Eeb. 21.
