DeHipsey OutDOXes the Heavyweight,
Doniniok McCaffrey.
JERSEY CrrY, January 31st.-In the glove

irey and Jack Dempsey, the latter won in
ten rounds. Dempsey did nearly all the
leading, and scored three points to Ne
Catfreys one. Jere Dunn was the referee.
AT 11:3O Dempsey and McCaffrey entered
the ring. The fight, taken as whole, was
very tame affair. Dempsey weighed I5S
pounds, and MeCatfrey 16S. In the first
round McCaffrey cut Dempsey on the fore
head. In the second round Dempsey struck
McCatfrey in the right eye. Dempsey was
aggressive in the first part of the battle. try
ing to settle his opponent in short order.
In the last five rounds he acted on the de-
fensive, ana McCafrey lad to follow him
ali over the ring, several times begging him
to stand up and fight.
McCaffrey tried his best to knock Demp-
sey out, but the Nonpareil " always cley-
erly avoided punishment. Several times
McCatfrey tried to swing his right, but
Dempsey cleyerly lodged. In the third
round Dempsey struck McCaffrey in the
right eye. In the fourth round he caught
McCaffrey in the right temple, raising an
ugly mark.
In the fifth round Dempsey struck Nc
Caffrey, but did not draw blood In the
sixth round McCaffrey tried to put Demp-
sey over the ropes, but Dempsey got away.
The seventh round was all in Dempsey 8
favor, he doing all the leading and planting
blow after blow on McCaffrey's ribs and
shoulders. -.
In the closing round there were four
blows, all given by Dempsey. Three
ounce gloves were worn.
Dempsey, at the end of the exhibition,
appeared very fresh, and said he was able
to go ten more rounds. McCaffrey took his
defeat very sorely. He was also in good
condition, with the exception of his bruised
eye and forehead. There were nearly 100
police present during the contest but there
was no interference. There was no protest
by the spectators against the decision. The
contest lasted 40 minutes. Thirty five hun

OUR sURyEYOR-GENER
He Starts Hence a Major, and Become
Colonel in Washington,


TCopyig 1883, by tie California associated Press
WASHINGTON, January 31st.-R. P. Ham
mond, United States Surveyor-General for
California, arrived here to-day. Colonel
Hammond says the report that he is a can
didate for Commissioner of the General
Land Office is absolutely without founda-
ton. He would not take the position, he
says, if it was rendered him on golden
platter. Colonel Hammond will be intro
duced to the President tomorrow by Rep
| resentative Thompson. He win present to
him the engrossed memorial of the Iroquois
Club of San Francisco, telling why the
Presidents views, as expressed in his mes
sage on the subject of the tariff, will, if
adopted, not injure the industrial interests
of the Pacific coast, and expressing the
views of the club on the Chinese question.
Hammond's purpose in visiting Washing
ton is to obtain, if possible, increased ap-
preparations for the surveys of public lands
in California.
A great deal of amusement has been af-
forded him by the idea that his visit here
has some reference TO the return of John
A. Benson from Copenhagen to stand trial
in San Francisco for making fraudulent
surveys. Hammond jerkingly suggested
that it would be good scheme to transfer
Benson from the deck of the steamer on
which he will arrive to a United States
revenue cutter, by which means he might
be taken To Panama, transferred across the
lsthmus, and thence taken TO San Francisco.
Hammond thought that his suggestion
might be taken as the basis for sensational
dispatch by some enterprising reporter. As
matter of fact, he knows nothing about
Benson's arrest, nor the manner in which
he will be returned to this country.

dozen responded to their names. The

burlington, farmer; owen Bearns, farmer
Before the Court adjourned Judge Rut-
ledge admonished the jury to permit nc
one to approach them on the subject on
which they are to pass. He said he
was exceedingly anxious that nothing inn
proper should transpire during the trial OF
the case.
BY consent of counsel, Morrow was not
remanded to the custody of the Sheriff,
but 1t is probable he will be placed in the
custody of the Sheriff tomorrow.
Previous to adjournment Attorney Hayes
asked that the case be not called till after
the arrival of the morning train, as several

quest was granted.

A LARGE CAvE.-A correspondent of the
Bieber Tribune, writing from Dry Lake,
Modoc county, thus describes some of the
wonders of that section of country: "On
the 9th of this month, as two vadueros
were limiting horses east of this place
about five miles, they observed steam issu-
ing from crevice in the lava. On exam
lining they discovered cave which they
explored some distance, but it was so dark
they could not see to walk So, on the fol-
lowing day, after supplying themselves
with candles, they penetrated the lower re-
gions two miles or more, at descent of
about four inches to the rod. The roof
seems to be of solid lava. The floor is vel
low sand, and about one mile from the en-
trance there is large room, ten or twelve
feet high and sixty feet across, and the
main cavern turns and runs in northerly
direction, and another runs cast or nearly
so. The north extension has tempera-
ture of about ninety degrees, and grows
warmer at every step, and the descent
grows sleeper as far as it has been explored.
As the candle grew short, the explorers
were compelled to return to the outer
world and leave the wonderful cavern un-
explored for the present"
