THROUGH ICE FIFTEEN FEET THICK.

TUGS BREAK WAY THROUGH KBNEBBC RIVER.
WHICH WAS NEVER BEFORE CLOSED AT BATH.
Bath, Me, Dec. 22.-After continually pounding
the big ice jam in the Kennebec River for four
days, tugs succeeded in breaking through this af-
ternoon The Jams had started from the narrows
in the river below the city it broke up after
the big flood week ago, but it completely closed
last Wednesday, leaving the tug Seguin frozen in.
Three other tugs went her assistance being later
Joined by the Bangor tug Bismarck and the cutter
Woodbury., and they slowly broke the ice away.
The channel was cleared this afternoon and IL
will be kept open hereafter. All the tugs were
badly battered by their hard work. Ice fifteen feet
thick broken out for several miles. The river
was never closed before.
An attempt will be made tomorrow to break the
channel at Gardiner and liberate the schooners
there. The long expected fleet of Golfers and lum-
Der sChooners now reach here.

RUSSIAN JEWS.
From The London Globe.

One point in the answer given by the Russian
Minister of Education. General Vannowsky. to the
students who recently waited upon him at Moscow
TO ask for university reform Is of special sisnih
canoe Among other requests put forward by the
deputation one for the removal of the restric-
tions upon Jews who desire to study at the univer-
stiles. AT present university in the empire is
allowed to receive greater proportion OF Jewish
the Minister was solicited to cancel or modify the
regulations. SO far appears General Vannowsky
was not personally unwilling to comply. He had
received the deputation with courtesy. and freely
discussed various subjects during the interview.
But the proposal to relax the strngency of the
ant-Jewsh law he replied that il did not lie within
his competence to deal with it: the matter was. he
said. affecting general imperial policy The
meaning of this answer is perfectly clear. 1t is
still part of the imperial policy of Russia to con-
tinue to subject the Jewish race TO exceptional
treatment and the head of the Education Depart
ment Is apparently unable to suggest a nlodi-
fcation of IL. 1t appears to be imagined by some
persons in Russia that General Vannowsky's re-
mark foreshadows new Jewish persecution. That.
however. is probably too wide an inference to be
drawn. What his words certainly do is hat
the Jews in Russia must still regard themselves as
dsenttled to equal rights with their Christian fel-
low subjects. -

divided into oxygen and hydrogen. and these COM
bining with the carbon, are igrited and passed
Through the boiler. So intense is the heat that

INFRAcTIoN OF AGREEMENT
The present crisis arises from an infraction OF
this agreement. Il appears that notwitnstano-

the status quo. Chill has been discovered to have
been building roads across the cordillera TO the
east of the Argentine line, at the same time
throwing bridges over ravines and gorges at
certain strategical points establishing colonies,
with shops and boats and all the necessary
paraphernalia for the transportation OF troops
far beyond the eastern valleys within Argentine

built to facilitate the work Of the surveyors

scientific purposes and general utility, and be
