THE NONPAREIL AT HOME.
Jack Dempsey Returns to Portland and
Gives His Opinion of Maher.

PORTLAND, Feb. 2-[Special.l Jack Dempsey
returned yesterday morning from the East,
where he had been for nearly three months.
The Nonpareil was accompanied by his wife and
child. Dempsey spent the day with old friends.
He is sick man, and he's never entirely recov
cred from the malaria that attacked
him before he went into training for
his fight with Fitzsimmons. Last fall
he lett Portland with Young Mitchell to give
boxing exhibitions with theatrical company,
but after sparring few nights in BIZ ooklyn
was compelled to seek his bed He has not
appeared in public since that time. When
asked atout the authenticity OF the report that
he intended to retire from the ring the great
middle-weight said that it depended on circum-
stances, but OF what nature he would not say.
Speaking about the coming Maher-Fit sim
mons contest, Dempsey said that the former is
a tall, well-built young fellow, without an
ounce of spare flesh; active, has plenty of cour-
age and dash, and is likely to give a good
account OF himself. sMaher is ready and willing
to fight any man In his class Sullivan excepted,
but, being newcomer in the arena, he finds it
rather difficult to secure financial backing, and
has to be content with the matches arranged for
him by Billy Madden. Corbett and Mitchell,
Dempsey says. did great deal OF talking about
"IoTcing Maher TO fight" but both gave him a
wide berth when matters were brought down
to fighting point. The Nonpareil thinks
Maher has the making of great fighter

LONDON, Feb. 2-Lord Salisbury today spoke
at Exeter, where he met with an ovation from
the Devonshire Conservatives. He criticised the
Liberal programme as obscure, indefinite and
full Of empty promises. The Radicals were
specially ready 70 assure voters that they could
obtain measures ct the expense of their neigh

erals appeared 70 rely on the creation of parish
councils a. q means TO improve the con-
di1on of the laoorers by adding interest
20 the village. The evil arising rom multiplied
local bodies was overlooked By the advocates OF
parish councils. he commented on Chamber
lains old age assurance measure, and said he
was hopeful that this scheme would remedy the
distress prevailing among the working classes.
II would be effective, however, only when car
Yied ont on sound business principles. An
other remedy for relieving distress was the crea-
tion OF small rural holdings. which the govern
ment trusted would confer great advantage by
relieving the suAerings OF the poorer classes.
Ireland, however, remained the burning cues
ton OF the hour. on which would rest no. only
the result OF the next election, but perhaps Of
Others, and he appealed to the country 10 up

The premier said possibly the manifest luke

We have now arranged the matter. Mr

TO take water from our tanks, nor about oel
allowing him to take fuel from Us. We did no
charge him with anything for this, but gave. ];
as al act OF courtesy. We did not refuse to d.
liver coal to the Great Northern at Boulevar
nor did We threaten TO tear up the connectoa

In his work as engineer and right-of-way
agent for the bicycle railroad between here and
Tacoma George W. Chapman has made some
interesting discoveries on the ridge between the
Sound and the Duwamish valley. Near sunny
dale he found an Indian mortar, weighing four
and one-half or five pounds, cut out of hard
stone resembling serpentine, which appeared TO
have been used to crush grain. When Mr..
Chapman found it it was being used by 4
rancher as a weight on barrel Of sauer kraut.
On the hill overlooking Des Moines AZ an ele-
walton of over 40 feet above the sound he found
a great bed of clam shells on the surface OF the
ground. They were so thick that II seemed -
though wagon loads Of them had been hauled
up the hill and dumped there. This Is taken IS
