The thirteenth round was a repetition.
Nothing done in either.
Fourteenth Round-Jackson caught Me-
Auliile lightly ON the chin and again in
the throat, the latter knocking him against

sent him lightly to the floor. When he
rose Jackson forced him in the corner and
pounded him on the head numerically.

him from further punishment.

at the call of time looking considerably the
worse for the severe pounding he had re-
ceiycd in the few preceding rounds. Jack.

very little advantage. McAulile led out
several times but seemed unable to reach

BABY HUMORS.
And all Skin and Scalp Dis
eases Speedily Cured by
Cuticura.

Our little son will be four years of age on
the 2oth inst. In May, 1885, he was attacked
with very painful breaking out of the skin.
We called in physician, who treated him
for about four weeks. The child received
little or no good from the treatment, as the
breaking out, supposed by the physician to
be hives in an aggravated form, became
larger i'll blotches, aud more and more dis
tressing. We were frequently obliged to get
up i'll the night and rub him with soda in
water, strong liniments, etc. Finally, we
called other physicians until no less than six
had attempted to cure him, all alike failing,
and the child steadily getting wors, and
worse, until about the Goth of last July, when
we began to give him CUTIcURA REsoLvENT
internally, and the CUTICURA and CUTIcURA
SOAP externally, and by the last of August he
was so nearly well that we gave him only one
dose of the REsoLvENT about every second
day for about ten days longer and he has
never been troubled since with the horrible
malady. In all we used less than one-half of
a bottle of CUTIcURA REsoLvENT, a little less
than one box of CUTICURA and only one cake
of CUTICURA SOAP.

Special TO the Globe
Dies MONIES, To-, Jan. 10.-Wilson's
managers forced the calling of the sem
| atorial caucus to an earlier date than
was anticipated. 1t was O'Clock this
morning before the joint caucus COM
| mittee of the senate and house had all
subscribed their names to the call, which
fixed the date for this evening. The
Hepburn followers were greatly in
cenSed at the way the Wilson workers
had been allowed to rush matters. They
talked bitterly throughout the day, and
threatened to make fight in
the caucus for postponement
They kept their word. No sooner
had the caucus been organized
tran motion was made to postpone.
| Several brief speeches were made. The
| Hepburn men did the most talking and
| Senator Harsh frankly admitted their
candidate desired more time. Charges
of breach of faith were freely made
| against the Wilson managers. Senator
| Clark appealed to the fOrty-nine soldier
members OF caucus to grant the request
of Col. Hepburn for pOStponement. A
vote was finally reached and resulted in
defeat of the motion by the close vote
| of fOrty-tive to fOrty-seven. Senator
| Finn then moved to pass the election of
senator and take up the election of

a vote of forty-four to forty-five. Sen
ato1Ir Finn moved to take an informal
ballot for United States senator and

This aroused further debate.
The closeneSs of. the vote
frightened the Wilson forces. They
finally rallied on substitute offered by
Senator Caldwell directing that the
caucus proceed to formal ballot. This

Steamship Line Knocked Out.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 10.-According
to the published interviews with the
agents the Del Campo steamship line,
which was started three months ago, in
opposition to the Pacific Nails new
company, has decided to cease opera
tons. The company has four steam
ships here which have been ordered to
be tied up until further orders. 1t is
claimed the reason for this is found in
the fact that the Del Campo line was not
afforded any facilities whatever by the
Panama railroad, and that the per
cent rebate granted by the Central
American states ON all duties on goods
shipped by the Del Campo line was not
made an exclusive grant to them; but
that similar concession had been made
to the Pacific Mail. For these reasons
Marquis Del Campo has given orders
stopping all the steamers on their way
to the Pacific and ordering steamers here
and at Panama to be laid up indefinitely.
Freight rates, which had been lowered
by reason of the competition of the new
line, have not yet been advanced.
