POWERFUL ICE BOAT.
White and Kara Seas to Be Opened
with Her Aid.
Frnm thc rhilndeIphia Eecota.


The large ice-breaking steamer Ermack'
which was launched Il short time ago at
NewcastIe-on-Tyne. is remarkable for va
rious reasons. She is by far the largest ana
most powerful ice breaker that has yet
been built and she has been designed TO
carry out what may, perhaps, be called a
campaign which, up till very short time
ago. was considered to be out of all the
realms Of possibility.
There are four sets of propelling ma
chinerv to be fitted each driving its own
propeller and besides these main propeillnS
er gines there are smaller auxiliaries which
will be called upon to rotate the shafts
when the Ermack Is cruising in open sup
port the water, thus making 1t a compare
lively easy task for the massive steel bow,
rgidly built as it is, and backed by the mo-
mentum of heavy a vessel. to crash
through the half-supported pack ice and
make a large lane through which the ordi-
nary steamers following close behind the
Ermack may safely pass.
The campaign which the Ermack is des-
tined to carry out has emanated from Al
miral Makarof of the Russian navy. who
has for a long time past been making an
exhaustive study of the problems connect
ed with pelagic ice breaking, and TO the I'M
Initiated appears sufficiently daring.
The winter from November till April VIII

mack will go to Archangei, and be III time

relax it's grip if left undisturbed. When
this mission is accomplished 1t will be time

the White and Kara seas. Hitherto a voy-
age to the famous Yenisei river has been
attended WITH rather more risk than is
necessary to make 1t appeal to the ship
owners of the world n desirable cruise,
owing to the impossibility of predicting
whether the Kara sea will be free of ice
or not; and even il the outward voyage
was satisfactorily accomplished, the return
is just as perilous TO the ordinary cargo
steamer With the Ermack. however. these
perils vanish. and vessels under her convoy

CoRHELL's ROWING MATERIAL.
1t il Expected That $50 Freshme II
Will Report Tomorrow.

Captain Fisher Of the Cornell varsity
crew last night issued q call for freshman
candidates to report at the gymnasium Sat
urday The statistics of the men will then
be taken and Monday daily work on the
machines will be begun. Members of the
varsity crew, Coach Courtney and Captain
Fisher will assist the youngsters in master
ing the principles of the stroke, and soon
as the work has progressed far enough to
allow the members or candidates to be
sifted down the varsity crew candidates
will be called out.
Captain Fisher states that he expected
fully $50 candidates to report tomorrow.
Last year the number of freshmen who
tried was larger than this and it will not
be surprising if the number this year reach
es It's. 1t is also expected that this years
freshman candidates will be lighter than
last year. Those who reported in the fall
were far below the average Of 164 pounds
of last years. and there are very few
freshmen in sight.

Louisville Directors Decide to Keen
Their Cluh Intacf.

The directors of the Louisville Base Ball
Club held a meeting in that city last even
ing to arrange plans for the future. Di-
rector Caspar Hammer, one of the heaviest
stockholders of the club, said:
I'VE do not intend to sell any of our
players, and the franchise is not likely to
be disposed Of either. The stories to that
effect are all of the pipe-dream order. With
out Fred Clark the game would be dead in
this city, and we cannot spare single one
of the others They will all be kept.
1T is true we have had some offers for
Dexter Cunningham and Hoy, but We
never for moment thought of selling any
of them. When the season opens Louisville
will be found at the same old stand, with
the same old players, and We have every
reason to believe we will finish in the first
division. / think we now have the oppor-
tunity of a lifetime, and that the games
will be better patronized this season than
they ever were before
