rebellion of 1898. 1t Is said that they
will petition the British government to
prohibit any demonstration in honor of
the rascally rebels who slew their an
cestors in the last century. What the
government will do is matter Of con-

The centenary OF the rebellion or
1898 was ushered in ON New Years day

The Nationalist wanted no red coats
in their civic procession in such a
year as 1893, when they considered the
barbaritfes committed by the British
scldery on their ancestors during the
famous rebellion they intend to cele-
brate. The lord mayor countermanded
the invitation to the military, and
thereupon Lord Roberts, commander

country. And so that is how the new
year dawned on unconquerable Ireland.

TOLD BY OUR CONSULS
Novel Ice-Breakine Steamer

Consul Metcalf sends from Newcastle con-
Tyne description of the launching of the
ice-breaking steamer Ermack, recently built
for the Russian government. The steamer
is 305 feet long, II feet in breadth and 421s
feet in depth. When fully loaded the draft
will be rs feet and displacement 5000 tons.
The dimensions and appearance of the YES
sci would suggest battleship but for the
cutaway bow. The principle upon which
this vessel attacks the ice is an improve
ment on the old idea of running up onto it
and breaking it down by what might be
termed brute force. Science has added to
this brute force by placing forward pro-
peller to disturb the water under the ice,
deprivng the latter of its support and rem
dering it comparatively easy task for the
heavy vessel to break through. 1t is held
by men of experience in navigation amid
frozen waters that there will be no great
difficulty in keeping open many, if not all,
of the principal trade routes of the world
which are now rendered impossible every
winter. In addition to conveying merchant
vessels through the ice she is capable of
carrying a heavy cargo as well as ninety
passengers.
