WORST IS OVER.
Waters at Chippewa Falls Rapid.
ly Receding.
THE MERCHANTS ARE MOVING BACK.
Situation OF Keshena, However, IL serl-
ous-lce Gorge in the Menominee River
Michigan Farmers Flooded-Much
Property Destroyed.

Chippewa Falls, Wis, Dec. 5.-The
danger is now over. The water has re-
coded three feet and continues to fall.
Many merchants have commenced to
return to their business places. Others
areyetwary and will not move until next
week. Mayor Lindley, Col. Jones, United
States engineer, and party made trip
down river in special train, stopping
at various points to examine the condi-
ton of the gorge. After that party re-
turned Mayor Lindley made the follow
ing statement: 1--WE are oil quite firmly
convinced that the receding water is
permanent and that the gorge will not
become any more menacing than it is
at present. It is quite evident that the
water has cut a large passage beneath
the gorge and Col. Jones thinks that
the snow and ice may disappear gradu-
ally until all danger Is passed. We
have nature to thank for the happy re-
lief, and If this weather continues for
a week the gorge will be rendered as
helpless as it has been threatening.
Anchor ice is still coming down in large
quantities, but it is passing beneath the
gorge and not adhering to it as it did.
The condition has undergone COM
plete change, and such sudden aud
satisfactory termination of what threat
ened to be great disaster was hardly
looked for by the most sanguine."
Ice Piled Thirty Feet High.
Shawano, Wis.,, Dec. 5.-The situation
at Keshena grows serious. At Keshena
Falls, two miles up the river, ice is
piled below the falls 80 feet high and
packs up SO that the falls are covered.
The ice jam extends two and half
miles down the river and is piled high
against the lower or Keshena bridge.
Water is backing up creek at the vii
lage and part of the place is under
water. The flood is steadily rising. At
the government planning mill the water
is seven feet deep, and all of the agency
property is in danger. In this city peo-
pie are waiting anxiously.
Michigan Farms Flooded.
Menominee, Mich, Dec. 5.-An ice
gorge has formed in the Menominee
river at Fischer and the river has over.
flowed its banks in several places as far
up as Twin islands. The large relay
farm of the Ludington, Wells & Van
Setback company is covered with -four
feet of water. Above Fischer the rive,
has virtually changed its course and
has swept into the Cedar river channel
Much property is destroyed.

TEXAS A FAILURE.
The Big Battleship Utterly Unfit for
Service.

The Big Batucship Utterly Unit for
Service.
New York, Dec. 5.-The battle ship
Texas, which has been undergoing re-
pairs for two weeks, was hoated out
Of the timber dry dack early Thurs
day morning, and with the assistance
of two government tugs was moored at
the Cob dock. The ship is unfit for
service and will in all probability be
put out of commission in the near fu-
ture and undergo extensive alterations.
Besides the weakness of the bulkheads,
the water-tight compartments and the
hydraulic apparatus that works the
12-inch guns, the big turrets are found
to have been so faulty constructed that
the guns can only be loaded from two
positions. Should the turrets become
damned, the guns would be useless.
covered. The piping to the hosting and
rammer gear is unprotected when it
traverses the space between the pro-
tective deck and the floor of the re-
doubt. This means that the main but
terry can be disabled by shot from a
small gun.
All told, the Texas has cost the gov
eminent $4,125,OOO, which enormous
sum has been literally thrown into the
sea. The vessel represents series of
mistakes from the very beginning down
to the present day. 1t was built ac-
cording to the design and plans of an
English designer, who tricked the gov
eminent by submitting gun and deck
plan that would legitimately call for
1o,0Oo-ton displacement, whereas the
specifications were for u battle ship of
5000 tons displacement. When this
defect was discovered the department
engineers tried to tinker the plans so
that they would do, and the result is q
heavy top, all out of proportion to the
light bottom, and the only thing left
for the department to do is to.abandon
her. Two weeks ago the Texas sank
into the mud in shallow water. The ac-
cident might have happened at sea, and
If it had, not a man would have sur
vived. The crew would have gone
straight to the bottom, imprisoned like
rats in coffin prison of steel.
