JACK DEMPSEY DYING
Consumption About to Claim
Him as a Victim.
HAS BUT A FEW DAYS TO LIVE
The Hero of More Than Three-ScOre
and Ten Battles Fighting Ills
Last Fight.

Portland, Or, Oct. 24.-Jack Demp-
sey, the Nonpareil, from whom Fitz-
simmons won his title to the middle
weight championship of the world, is
dying at his home, in this city, 389
Grand avenue. The dread disease
fastened itself upon him during his
last Eastern tour, which commenced
about eighteen months ago, and when
he returned home last July, his physi.
clan, DR.. Harry Lane, pronounced his
case hopeless. Other physicians Of
note were consulted, but all agreed
with DR.. Lane that the noted ring gen.
eral might live few months, but his
case would terminate fatally.
Last night the Nonpareil's condition
was considered critical, so critical, in
fact, that rumor was current ON the
streets that the end had come. A re-
porter on calling at the house at late
hour, found no confirmation for this
rumor, but ascertained that the ex-
champion was sinking rapidly, and the
end might come any time.
Or. Harry Lane, who has been per-
sonal friend and medical adviser of
Dempsey since he first came to Port
land, ten years ago, said last night
that Mrs. Dempsey had been cognizant
Of her husbands true condition for
many weeks, and, like true wife, had
kept back her grief, that his last days
migt be peaceful.
II never had the heart to tell poor
jack" said the doctor. HE would
not have believed me had / told him,
for he never did take much stock in
the opinions of medical men. He has
been planning what he would do when
he got well, and we have planned with
him. 1t has been his ambition to wit
ness the coming mill between Fitzsim-
mons and Corbett, and with me and
Others of his friends he has spent hours
discussing the matter, after a sick
mans fashion. He thinks Corbett will
win if he keeps his head, but has an
excellent opinion of the Australian's s
wonderful prowess in the ring. He
says that the fight will be terrible
one, and will probably last a long
time.

THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY.
England Seeking an Entrance to the
Gold Fields Of the Yukon.

england Seeking an Entrance to the
Gold Fields OF the Yukon.
Seattle, Oct. 25.--The agitation of
the Alaskan boundary question has
been taken up bodily by the American
residents Of juneau, and a move is now
belng made to form boundary club at
that place, to keep the people and the
government fully alive to the danger
OF losing the invaluable Yukon mines.
AS already indicated, the war-cry,
Ten marine leagues or fight" is be-
ing sounded. The situation is clearly
given by q. b. Swinehart, editor of
the Alaska Mining Record, at juneau,
who is now in this city. He says:
If England can effect an entrance
to the Yukon country she will be salts
fed, and she hopes to accomplish that
object by securing Dyea inlet as port
OF entry. She will also try to obtain
Annette island, but will waive that
and all other considerations in order to
control the rich mines of the north.
She would undoubtedly relinquish all
NA~AAN W thO ANSO Va blO W
gain her end, and, if she succeeds, we
might as well give up any claim to
Alaska. "
+. Otis Smith, editor of the Alaskan,
published at Sitka, is also in this city.
He says:
All England wants is seaport at
the entrance to the Yukon country,
and she has raised this pretended claim
on the southern boundary so that she
may figure in the eyes of the world as
magnanimous. She will forego this
claim, magnanimously, if the United
States will admit the claim she is set
ting up in the Chilkat country and let
her have seaport, giving access to the
Yukon. But the boundary has long
been established, and do not see why
we should aubmit anything to arbitra-
tion.''

Washington, Oct 25.--A letter re-

commander Of the United States ship
Yantic, at Montevideo, states that Sep
tember 10 last, the steamship San
Francisco carried from that port over
1900 Spaniards who had volunteered
to join the Spanish army in Cuba.
Eleven hundred Of these were from
Uruguay and the remainder were de.
serters from the Spanish army who had
volunteered to return for service in
Cuba. A great proportion Of the total
number were mere boys They were
taken charge Of on the San Francisco
by guard of Spanish soldiers and not
allowed to leave. The ship had no
Spanish flag or insignia of nationality.
No formal enlistment took place ashore,
but each man, on boarding the vessel,
presented paper proffering his service
to Spain.

Result OF the Last Race.
New York, Oct. 25.--The following
cablegrams were posted ON the bulletin
board Of the New York Yacht Club to-
day:
Newmarket, Oct 25. Secretary Of
the New York Yacht Club: Owing to
a general impression that my challenge

"Ryde, Oct. 25.- Secretary New
York Yacht Club: have received a
letter from Rose, withdrawing his
challenge for the Americas cup. Have
called the committee, and will mail
you officially. Thelluson.
The receipt Of the above cable dis.
patches did not cause as much surprise
as will be generally expected. The at
tacks made upon Mr.. Rose by the Eng
lish press are enough to discourage any
body, and it is now believed the ques.
ton of a challenge for races in 1896
will be left in the hands of Lord Dun.
raven and the Royal Yacht Squadron,
as IT is not thought likely any other
club will take up the challenge, in
view of the attitude in which the Royal
Victoria Yacht Club has been put by
Mr.. Roses action. However, the chal-
lenge of Herbert Moier, the well.
known colonial yachtsman, who raised
500, 900 in short time to build a
yacht to be named West Australia, for
1897, may now do for 1896. Then
again, Sir George Newnes may issue a
challenge, as he announced himself as
being ready to do so soon after Lord
Dunraven's yacht was defeated.
Percy Thelluson, secretary of the
Royal Yacht Club, replying to ques-
tion to him by the Associated Press this
evening, said the Royal Victoria had
no challenge for the cup.

London, Oct. "a. With reference to
the interest which Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain is taking in promoting a
Pacific cable connection between Brit
ish North America and New Zealand,
the Post says in an editorial;
ut is a matter of satisfaction that,
although the Hawaiian concession for
an American cable will compel our Pa
cific cable to take longer route

ment if the cable is not an accomplish

IL Is as Far From Distribution as when
the Millionaire Died.
San Francisco, Oct. 25.- Charles
Lux has been dead nearly nine years,
and left to his heirs, executors and ad-
ministrators half interest in an estate
conservatively valued at $16, 900, 900.
BY this will Mr., Lux divided the prop
erty belonging to him equally between
his wife, Miranda w. Lux, and his
brothers and sisters, who are known as
the German heirs" AS executors of
his estate, he named the woman who
shared his name and her son, Jesse
Sheldon Potter. Mrs. Lux died year
ago and requested by her will that her
share of the kingdom belonging to Mil
Ter & Lux be devoted to various chari-
ties and relatives. During the life of
her son, Potter, the income from her
heritage was to be his.
Charles Lux died in 1887, and today
not dollar has been passed in the dis
tribution of his estate. The heirs have
not received penny of the fortune
which some day will be theirs Mrs.
Miranda Lux, his widow, was left $4,-
900, 900 by his will. yet she died in
comparative poverty. Lawsuit after
lawsuit has been instituted to obtain a
distribution; expert accountants and
bookkeepers have given the results of
their examinations of the books of the
millionaire; attorney after attorney has
acquired wealth by advice and counsel
in these proceedings, but today the
gigantic estate of Lux is as far away
from distribution, figuratiyely speak
ing, as the day he died.

Don VI. Dickinson Says the Law of HUI
manIty is higher Than Neutrality.
Detroit, Oct. 25.-The News today
prints an extended interview with the
Hon. Don M. Dickinson on the Cuban
question. Mr.. Dickinson's expressions
show him to have been a close student
of Cuban history and Spain's oppres.
sions, and his conclusions are regarded
to be, to some degree, indicative of the
sentiments of the national admins
tration. In the course of the inter-
view Mr.. Dickinson says:
while we must maintain the law
of neutrality, yet the law of humanity
is higher, and whether or not the
United States recognizes the belliger-
ency of the independence of Cuba, this
country should certainly intervene in
the interest of civilization to restrain
the atrocities upon persons and prop
erty daily perpetrated on the island.
This is what the Cubans are hoping
and praying for. No law can restrain
the expression of our natural feeling
of sympathy, nor should it restrain, in
my opinion, such an expression from
this country.
Cuba is at our doors in the high
way of commerce-so near that as the
murders are done we can hear the
shrieks of women and children and
can see the horrors in Cuba that were
practiced by Alva in the Netherlands.
We can send our sympathies to Greece,
to Poland, to Hungary, but here at
home, at our very doors, shall this
struggling people.

Division superintendents Advanced.

San Francisco, Oct. 25.-Heretofore
there have been nine division superin-
tendents in charge of the Southern and
Central Pacific systems between this
city and Portland, Ogden, and Ell Paso,
who were directly under General Su-
perintendent Fillmore. The latter's
promotion to the position of manager,
however, left the general superintend-
ent's place vacant, and the position, or
rather title, has been abolished. This
left quite gap between the official
titles. Hence the determination to ad-
vance the division superintendent one
round higher in rank. Hereafter they
will be officially designated as super
intendents," and will have full charge
and be personally responsible for every.
thing on their divi ions and will have
more authority in transaction of rail-
road business.
