A scene Not soon to be Forgotten.

The desloate view of the New Rieh'
mond of to-day is one not soon to be
forgotten. Among the broken ffag-
ments of their homes the people wan-
der, helplessly striving, somewhat
aimlessly and hopelessly, to gather to-
gether what had been left 10 them.
On the east and west limits OF The
city many houses were still standing
with little or no damage, and TO theae
homes the occupants welcomed tteir
less fortunate neighbors and friends,
giving them such aid as was possible.
Property Loss Almost Total.
The property loss can not he esfi'
mated at this time, and may never lie
accurately known. 1t was almost TO-
tai, for the insurance agents say no
tornado insurance was carried in the
town, and only a small number of
places where fire joined in the Gestruc-
ton of property will the business men
be at all reimbursed for their losses

FIELD TRIALS.
Second Days Contests at Bakers
field Not Exciting.

ERSFIELD, Jan. 1.-THE sec
ond days contests of the Pacific Coast
Trials Club were not exciting. Birds
were plentiful, but the cover was poor.
The first series of the Derby was fin
ished, and all but one brace and the
second series was run.
The following dogs won out in the
first series, and were matched for the
second series: Romeo VS.. Valsmark;
Ashbury VS.. Merry Heart; Gladstar VS..
Veronical. The latter brace will be
run tomorrow.
After deciding the Derby stake, the
all-age stake will be run. The dogs
entered and matched are as follows:
Alex. G. VS.. Senator; Fannie G. VS..
Countess Glenbeigh; Orion VS.. Sambo;
Count Harold VS.. Cuba of Kenwood.
This stake is still open to dogs in the
Derby. The winners will probably be
entered tomorrow after the finish.
The club now intends running the
all-age stake tomorrow and the finals
on Thursday, concluding the meet on
Friday with the champion stakes.

Knocks Out Young Pluto in the
Tenth Round.

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Once more
George Dixon proved his cleverness and
hard hitting ability tonight at the
Lenox Athletic Club, where he met and
defeated Young" Pluto of South At
rica in the tenth round of what was
to have been twenty-round bout.
The knockout came in the shape of
a left swing in the stomach, which
crushed the wind out of the latest ar
rival among the short haired fraternity
in this country. Pluto was heralded as
a world -beater by his friends. but al
though he is very clever in defensive
work and undoubtedly game, he was
never dangerous.
Dixon soon battered down the Afri-
cans guard, and early in the fight dem
onstrated that he was master. Pluto
looked weary when he came up for the
tenth round. Dixon. sent four lefts to
the face and right to the head. Then
with a left on the stomach he lay
Pluto on his back for nearly twenty
seconds, when his seconds finally car
ried him to his corner.

FRANCE DESIRES PEACE.
The Little Friction Over the Fash
oda Incident Exaggerated.

LONDON. Jan. 1.-THE French En-
bassador to Great Britain, NJ. Paul
Cambon, replying to an address Of the
international Arbitration Association
at the Embassy here to-day, said 10
feeling of hostility toward the British
existed in France. The press on both
sides, he added, had exaggerated the
little friction over the Fashoda Incl
dent, which was only temporary.
He assured the people of Great Brit
ain that neither the French nation nor
the Government of France desired war,
and speaking from experience, Mr..
Cambon could say that no European
nation desired war. On the contrary,
there was an earnest wish for peace,
and France cordially supported the
Cars aims, but the Embassador ex-
pressed the fear that their practi al re-
alizations will be long time coming.

respondent OF the Times" says:
Last Friday an American visitor and
his wife were viewing the ruins of j.
mosque at Indrapal. A native who had
been crouching in the balcony suddenly
dashed at them with frantic yell, ana
aimed a blow at the gentleman with a
thick club. The American warded OIL
the blow, and a severe tussle ensued.
lasting many minutes.
The lady struck the native across the
head with her umbrella, whereupon he
turned and hurled her down the steps,
then reattacking the husband, who,
though quite unarmed, managed to
keep the ruffian at bay.
The cries of the lady brought a crowd
of natives, who did not interfere until
the husband had overpowered and dis
armed the assailant.
The American was roughly handled
and narrowly escaped being thrown
over the balcony to the pavement be-
Meath His wife's head was cut by the
fall down the steps.
The fanatic was arrested, and feigns
insanity.
