Special to THE MORNING CALL

PORTLAND, Feb. 2s.-Jaek Dempsey ap-
peared in the ring tonight for the first tins
since Bob Fitz'immons wrested the middle

Orleans about two years ago. Billy Keogh,
heavyweight, who gained some notoriety
recently by defeating Patsy Kardiff. under
took to knock Dempsey out in foar rounds
for purse and the gate receipts at the
Pastime Athletic Club.
Dempsey showed that he had lost none Of
his former cleyerness and successfully
avoided the big fellows rushes and hit him
when and where he wilied. At the end of
the fourth round Keogh had failed In his
effort, and the referee awarded the contest
to Dempsey.
The event was preceded by four DreIimi-
nary set-tOs between local men of the light
and feather weight classes. After long
and tedious wait, which heavily taxed tue
patience of the crowd. Keogh entered the
ring at :15, followed soon after by DemD-
sey, whose appearance was the signal
for great applause. which continued
until he had reached his corner. The
announcement was then made that Jack
Robertson mad been chosen referee
Keogh'S weight was announced at 100 and
Dempsey's $50. Both men bore evidence Of
having trained well. When they faced each
other in the ring Dempsey seemed IilIiPu-
lion by the side of his big opponent.
When time was called both men sprang
lightly into the ring and shook hands
Dempsey led with his left and caught
Keogh in the side. Keogh reached for
Jacks jaw. but fell short. Dempsey land
ed on Keoeh's jaw. The men clinched and
the round closed.
Keogt rushed Dempsey into corner and
the men cliuched. Dempsey feinted and
landed a right-hander against Keogh's Jaw.
SecOnd-Dempsey assumed the aggres-
sive. Keogh made q left.hane swing, graz
ing Dempsey's neck. Dempsey led for
Keogh's wind, but was stopped by the
latter's right. Dempsey again made for
the big mans wind and succeeded In land
ing with his right.
Third-Dempsey landed on KeOgh's
stomach and the latter rushed Dempsey
into his corner, but the middle-wsight
escaped without damage. Jack jabbed
Keogh in the mouth. Keogh rushed Demp-
sey into corner, but he evaded him, and
after cleyerly getting away raped Keogh
on the nose. Keogh continued his rushes,
but Dempsey cleverly got away and led
KeOgh around the ring.
In the fourth and last round the same
tactics were pursued. Keogh was unable
to find Dempsey. who would land at will on
the big mans stomach and face. In break
ing away from a clineh Keogh struck
Dempsey on the jaw and cries of foul
were raised, but were not allowed. At the
end of the fourth round the referee awarded
the contest to Dempsey.

SO Swiftly That Escape for All

Special to THE MORNING CALL

VIENNA, Feb. 28.-A terrible calamity
has oyertaken the village of Gergely, near
Paks, Hungary, owing TO the sudden rise of
the Danube. Its 1900 inhabitants wers
forced to flee from their mud huts to the
church and school.
The advancing waters finally compelled
them to fee from these refugees or be
drowned in them. When they turned out
again the flood surged nearly to their
waists. The children and infirm were as
sisted by the stronger as they struggled
along toward Paks with the waters continu-
ally rising.
The FIRST victim was a mother with her
five children. who gave mp. sank and per-
iSbed in the food. They were followed by
many others. the number Of whom is un-
known. and the survivors reached Paks in
an exhausted and pitlable plight. There is
not any doubt the number drowned is very
large.
The people of Paks are deeply concerned
for their own safety. as the Danube is
twenty feet above normal.

tions. argued that monometallism was a
national misfortune, and fixed bimetallic
ratio was the sole remedy for the existing
difficulties growing out Of the currency
problem.
Samuel Montague. Liberal, well known
as member of the banking house Of SAM
uel Montague & Co., earnestly supported
Sir Henry'S motion, and other bimetallists
addressed the House in behalf of the propo-
sition.
Mr.. Gladstone. in reply. reminded the
House that the International Monetary
Conference met at the initiative of the
United States. and that it would be an un.
precedented proceeding now to deprive
America of the initiative. In the opinion
OF the Government, no plan as yet proposed
showed how it was possible to change
the standard of value in Great Britain.
Hear, hear.
Gladstone said that England was not
alone among civilized nations in a deter
mination to adhere 10 the present monetary
system. Half of the powers rel resented at
the conference had show that they leaned
toward bimetallism. but as yet they had not
given the faiutest shadow of an indication
OF what change they were prepared to make.
In conclusion Gladstone made an elaborate
exposition of the benefits of mOnometal-
lism and the dangers of bimetallism.
Chaplin, president of the Board of Agr-
culture under the last Salisbury admiuiS-
tration, supported the motion of Sir Henry,
and Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Chan
cellor of the Exehequer, declared that the
failure of the conference was due to the
absence of all definite proposals. If the
United States should reconvene the con-
ference and submit definite proposals, the
British Government would be happy to
send back the delegates, but it could not be
expected to provide scheme for the more
extensive use of silver.
