, Carson City Is Practically Deserted by
the Sports.
THE NEW CHAMPION’S PLANS
Corbett “'ants Another Crack at His
Conqueror—His. Programme For the
Future. HOWever, lino Not Yet
Been Clearly Illapped Out.
CARSON CITY, Next, March 19.—A11 the
special trains have gone, taking home the
San Francisco crowd and most of the east—
ern people to Reno, where they made con-
nection with the fast train for Denver and
Omaha. The regular trains north and
south today took away the remaining vis-
itors, those from Nevada towns, and Car-
son City has resumed its normal condition.
The majority of the people are glad that
the fights were held here, as the visitors
left a large amount of money. The, hotels,
boarding houses, restaurants, livery sta-
bles and gambling houses got about a‘ll of
it, but the storekeepers, in addition to the
profits from the little trade theyhad, will
ultimately receive a large portion of it, So
they, too, are pleased. The ministers and
their congregations are the only ones who
feel any chagrin and speak‘of the disgrace
brought upon Carson City by entertaining
a lot of pugilists and their friends and ad-
mirers. The fakirs have disappeared, hav-
ing gone away with the shell men and the
.wheels of fortune, but the gambling
houses are open as usual, having dropped
' back to their customary games. The sports
from abroad patronized them night and
day; but, it is said, they did not take home
with them-much of the capital. _
Charley White started for San Francisco
early today taking with him Corbett’s oth-
or trainers. Despite the defeat of his man.
White was congratulated on all sides for
his worklin putting the (-x-champion into
the superb condition in which he entered
the ring. White was given free swing in
his training and used his own method with
such success that he has taken first rank
in his profession.
Fitzsimmons did not leave for San Fran—
cisco last night, as he had intended, and
spent the night at his old training quar-
ters at Cook’s ranch. \He showed very few
marks today of the punishment he re-
ceived in the ring. His lower lip was
split and was slightly swollen, but there
'werc no other marks about him to indi-
cate he had just gone through a hard hat-
tle.
“My lips are very thin,” said Fitzsim-
mons, “and crack open without being
hurt. I know that I lost some blood yes-
terday, but it did not weaken me at all,
and things looked much worse with me
than they really were.”
“Pompadour Jim" In Frisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, March‘ 19.——P0mpadour
Jim Corbett, vanquished, but hopeful of
having.another chance at the Cornishman.
arrived in this city after aflying journey
from the scene of his defeat. He was met
by a large crowd of people at the depot.
As he stepped from the gangplank it was
noticed that he was dejected and seemed
moody and morose. -
The only outward sign that he had been
in a. fight, however, was the swollen con-
dition of his left cheek and temple. He
did not say much of his defeat except that
it was a chance blow which deprived him
of the championship and that he had 1‘ in.
going when the terrible blow was struck.
He wanted it distinctly stated that he was
conscious at all times and that the intense
pain caused by the blow drove everything
else out of his mind. He says he will force
Fitzsimmons to fight again and intimated
he would follow the champion from town
to town to bring about another bottle.
Jim was very anxious to know how the
news of his defeat was received in this cit.-
and seemed pleased when he heard that the
majority of the people were sorry for him.
“I will get another chance some day."
he said, “and then I will win.”
Corbett’s Plans.
Corbett said in speaking of his plans tO-.
day:
“The way matters stand it can be
readily understood that all Of my arrange-
ments for the future are wrapped in doubt.
Fitzsimmons is the champion and I am
the cox-champion. . I will do no further
boxing until I have convinced myself that
all efforts to get Fitzsimmons into the
ring again will be in vain. I will go about
the thing in a businesslike manner. I
have plenty of backing. Every one of my
friends who spoke to me seemed to be
satisfied with the fight I made. Consider-
ing that I was ahead in every round until
the fatal punch came it seems to me that
another go between us would interest the
sporting world. .
“I naturally feel very depressed, and I
will rest for a day or two.
“The punch under the heart is paining
me very much just now. I will soon re-
cover from it, no doubt, and just as soon
as I am myself again I will formulate
plans for the future.
“I have no fault to find with my condi—
tion or with the way my trainers handled
me ,in my corner. They gave me every
attention that I couldpossibly desire, and
my heartfelt thanks are due to them for
that. I know that they are as much as-
tonished as I am at such an unlocked for
ending to my contest. There is this dif-
ference between us, however—they have
nothing to blame themselves for and I
have everything.
“If I had been less confident in that
fourteenth round, I would not feel as
broken hearted as I dost this minute.”

TARIrP BILL “iINRRPORTRD.
The House “’ays and Means Committee:
Was Not Quite Ready.
WASHINGTON, March 19.——Slight interest
attached to the meeting of the house today
after the two days’ recess, for the reason
that the ways and means committee was
not quite ready to report the tariff bill.
The ways and means committee planned
to be in session all day in order to put the.-
finishing touches to the majority report on
the tariff. Speaker Reed and the house
leaders are determined that nothing shall
be done until the tariff bill is out of the
way. The minority of the ways and means
committee will in its report make a
sharp attack upon the Republican meas-
ure, and the report willbe used as a basis
for the series of night and day speeches.
Before the house met it was noticeable
that a large majority of the members were
reading newspaper accounts of yesterday’s
prizefight. One of the territorial dele-
gates did not even lay down his paper dur-
ing the chaplain’s prayer. When the house
met, Henderson Tower announced thatthe
ways and means committee could not re-
port until tomorrow. The house promptly
adjourned. ‘ .

IWIIII III DISASTER.
__._——-
Loss of the Ville de St. Nazaire With 1
Rear] y All on Board.
FOUR: SURVIVORS LANDED.
Itory of Their Frightful Suflerings In an
Open Boat—Driven to Madness and
Death-by Starvation and Drink-
ing of Salt Water.
NEW YORK, March 19. —If any more
than four persons were saved from the
French line steamer Ville de St. Nazaire,
which foundered off Cape Hatteras March
8, two days after she left this port for the
West Indies, no tidings of the additional
rescue has yet been received. All that is
known is that four persons, Captain Berri,
one of the inspectors of the Compagnie
Generale Transatlantique; Dr. Maire, the
ship’s surgeon; M. Stauts, the third engi—
near, and a single passenger, Mr. Teja-
da, were taken from an open boat, in
which they had drifted helplessly for a
whole week, and landed at Perth Amboy
by the schooner Hilda, Captain Rives,
which snatched them from a more horrible
death than the sea ever offered—starva-
tion.
' The tug Idlewild towed the Hilda to the
Amboys and brought to this city the small
band of survivors. They were utterly bro-'
ken down as a result of the fearful cold and
hardship which they experienced in that
open boat, and were unable to tell any-
thing like a jointed or intelligent story of
how the steamer went to the bottom.
The Ville de St. Nazairc left this port on
Saturday, March 6, for West Indian ports,
her first stopping place being Cape Hai—
ticn. She had been but about 24 hours
out when she met with the storm that was
raging on the south Atlantic coast, and
was off Hatteras on Sunday evening at
sunset. As the night were on the storm
increased in violence and the ship labored
heavily in the waves. Sea after sea poured
over her decks, but she shook herself free
from the water and plunged on her way.
Soon after midnight a sea. heavier than the
others came aboard, flooded the engine and
boiler rooms and extinguished the fires,
rendering the ship helpless and putting
her at the mercy of the gale. Captain
Jagueneau Saw that there was no hope of
saving his ship, and at once began to make
preparations to leave her in the boats, of
which there were plenty, all well equip-
ped. -
Lifeboats Smashed.
The first boat lowered was dashed
against the sides (2” the ship and broken
into pieces by the iorce of the waves, and
the next three met with the same fate. ,_No
one was in these boats. Then in a slight
lull in the tempest the leeward boats, four
in number, were safely launched, and into
them were crowded the passengers and
crew. There was room enough for all in
the boats in ordinary weather, but in the
storm they were overcrowded. In the boats
wcr . oars, sails and rudder, with the usual
W;'1-".‘ tanks, and each boat was in charge
of .-.:I officer of the ship with the excep-
tion of the fourth, which was commanded
by .‘aptain A. Berri, an inspector and
audItor of the company who was on his
annual trip to the various agencies.
In Captain Berri’s boat, which is the
only one that has been heard from, «were
35 persons, including Mr. and Mrs. Tejada
with their four children. This boat took
the lead and carried signal lanterns in
how and stern notifying the others to fol-
low. The storm was so heavy that it was
all the little boats could do to keep afloat
without paying any attention to the direc-
tion they were pursuing, and they were
soon separated. and all that is now known
positively is what became of Captain Ber-
ri’s party. ,
The story of the survivors is one of mad-
ness and death brought on by the days
spent on the ocean in an open boat with-
out food or drink. For seven days the boat
floated on the sea almost within sight of
land and in the track of many stwmship
lines, yet nothing was sighted, altl'hugh a
close watch was kept day and night.
Deaths In the Little Boat.
During the first day there was a good
deal of suffering among the children, as
they were too young to understand why
they could not have the food and the drink
they cried for almost all the time. Life
was not long for them under the circum-
stances, and they soon died, and their
bodies were thrown into the sea. The
mother soon followed, and then one by one
the members of the crew became mad and
jumped overboard, the madness being due
to drinking sea water, or succumbed one
by one to exhaustion and were buried in
the sea by the survivors. -
This state of affairs continued until
Sunday afternoon last, when Mr. Tejada,
who was sitting in the stern of the boat
clinging to life with apparent desperation——
for he was not nearly as strong apparently
as many members of the crew and the offi-
cers who had died before him—saw a sail
in the distance, and calling upon his com—
panions to help succeeded in getting a re-
sponse to signals from the schooner Hilda,
which bore down upon them and rescued
the 4 who wore left of the 35 originally
in the boat. They were taken into the
cabin and cared, for by the crew of the lit-
tle lumber schooner, and, as before stated,
were brought to port. .
As soon as they arrived at the pier of
the French line, the agent of the company,
A. F. Forget, took charge of them and
had them removed to a comfortable place.
The two members of the crew were taken
on board the Normandie and the Ville de
Brest, other ships of the company lying at
the pier, and were said to be resting well
and slowly recovering from their terrible
experience. Captain Berri was taken to
the Hotel Martin, and Mr. Tejada refused
to go to the French hospital as suggested
by Mr. Forget, but took a cab and went-to
the home of a Spanish friend.
Captain Berri was attended by Dr. de la
Plasse, Who would let him say but little
of his sufl'erings and reported that his pa-
tient was resting easily and suffering only
from reaction from the shock. Captain
Berri is a short, robust man‘ abo'ut 55
years old, and the doctor said that his
safety under the ,great trials was due to
his fine constitution. The other survivors,
employees of the company, were not al-
lowed to talk, and Mr. Tejada could not
be found. Captain Berri told his tale as
briefly as possible, and then was forbidden
by the doctor to say anything for a day or
two. .
