Six lives have been lost.
The main financial loss Is divided be-
tween Maine, New Hampshire and
Massachusetts,, and Maine bears about
half. New Hampshire has been swept
from one end to the other, and heavy
losses at Manchester and Dover will
bring the total in that state closely upon
million dollars. Massachusetts, at
Lowell and Lawrence, and in the Mer-
rimac river valley, suffers heavily, but
$a5o,ooo will probably cover what she

Rome, March 4.-The kingdom of It.
ally today Is in condition of excite
ment, grief and anger almost beyond
description. Every dispatch from Mas
sowah adds to the gravity of the disas-
ter to the italian army at Adowa, Abys-
sinia.
When the first news of Gen. Baratie-
ri's defeat reached the city, the report
had It only 500 men had been killed
then yesterday afternoon the numbers
ran up to 5000 killed, with sixty pieces
of artillery captured. This mornings
dispatches place the number killed in
battle and the long harrassing retreat
which followed at 5000. Is is believed
that not even these figures tell the full
extent of the disaster.
No mention is made of the wounded,
and there is good reason. based on sto-
ries of recent Italian defeats by the
Abyssinians, to believe that those who
fell wounded during the retreat of over
fifty miles met more horrible fate than
those killed on the spot.
Throughout the night the garrison
here was kept under arms and mounted
patrols traversed the principal streets.
The streets were filled with people until
daybrcak, and after early morning every
public place was crowded with excited
men and women. Several disturbances
which called for police interference oc.

were the characteristic features of the

to tie chief Office in the society.
DR.. George II. Martin was accorded the
second place of honor, being elected first
vice-president. DR.. Ida V. Stan bach, q

In the evening the doctors apparently
forgot for two hours and half the stricter
teachings of their profession and partici-
pated in an elaborate banquet of ten
courses with two kinds of wine.
The Maple Hall of the Palace Hotel was
ablaze with light. Attracted about a long
table arranged in the form of horseshoe
sat sixty-tive physicians, a third of them

table itself was spread with ferns and fur

lating by subscription for the fund. Mayor
Davie is very much interested in the
scheme, and number of other prominent
Oaklanders are also pushing it along
Enough money has now come in to raise
a statue, but not SO handsome a one as the
more enthusiastic admirers of Lincoln
would like to see erected, and the proba-
bility is that the monument will not be
definitely ordered till the fund has reached
the sum OF $1,000.
The original intention was to collect
enough money to order a stereotyped Lin
coin of some Eastern firm, but a number
of admirers of the ex-President represent
that he has already suffered badly at the
hands of the stereotyped monum ent-
maker in San francisco, and they do net
want to see atrocities, in the name of art,
perpetrated upon them by the City OF
Oaks. These admirers of Lincoln as he
was, and not as he is represented on Fifth
street, are making strenuous efforts to
have the plan for stereotyped importa.
tion set aside in favor of some local sculp-
tors work.
No definite arrangement has yet been
entered into with the young California

Der of the subscribers who want the city OF
Oakland to erect an original work of art
while she is about it and not import a
stereotyped statue.
Tilden's design has good deal of orig
inality of conception, and it is peculiarly
adapted to park or other place where il
would be in the open air. Lincoln is rep
resented resting on bench at the top of q
wide fight of stairs. His attitude is ex-
pressive of rest after labor. He leans
against the back of the bench, his head
bent slightly forward and his hands
folded.
On the bench beside the figure of the
great abolitionist lie number of open
letters and at his feet lie several news.

hands before he fell into reposeful rev.

would cost $4,000. The statue of Lincoln.

tionately heroic dimensions. The stair

unique idea, it is stated, for people ac-
quainted with the most celebrated statues
and monuments here and in Europe, state
that they have no recollection of having
seen design representing bronze figure
seated on marble bench.
Behind the staircase, rock towers to a
considerable height on the right hand, the
idea being to drape this with ivy. The
rear of the staircase at the left is blank,
but if suitable oak tree can be found, the
monument will be built near it, about
ten feet from the trunk, so that the
branches can overhang the figure seated
on the bench.
The money subscribed belongs to the city
OF Oakland and it is expected that before
long there will be enough collected to
accept designs and set to work the mon
ument for Lincoln Park
