MOUNTAINS OF ICE
PILED ALONG SHORE
Green Bay Ice Field Breaks and Almost
Wrecks Steamer.

ESCANABA, Mich, April 24.-Driven
by a northwesterly gale, with a We
locity of forty miles an hour, the ice
field that has covered upper Green bay
for nearly six months, passed out into
the lake today. Carried by the ice
field as 1t was driven south, the steam
er Duluth, of the Escanaba Transpor-
tation company's line, was torn from
its moorings and carried to within ten
feet Of the shore. One of the /. Ste
phenson company's lumber docks is
buried under mound of broken ice
nearly thirty feet high.
All along the shores of the harbor
ice is piled in great mountains. The
Stephenson passenger and freight dock
is in great danger of being carried out.
and unless the wind abates soon the
damage to all Of the docks on the north
shore will be considerable

MINNESOTA LAND
TO BE THROWN OPEN
Is Located In Duluth, Cass
Lake and CroOkston Land
Districts.
Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi, April 24.-Official
announcement of the prospective open
ing on June 15 of nearly a quarter of
a million acres of government land
in Northern Minnesota, is to be made
tomorrow by the pnblicat ton of formal
notices, describing the property and
giving the terms under which entry
may be made. The property is. located
in fifty-seven townships in the Cass
Lake, Crookston and Duluth land dis
tricts and includes part of the Red
Lake, Pigeon River, Bois Fort, Deer
Creek, White Oak Point and Winnibi-
goshish Indian reservations.
While many Of the rules which gov
ern land openings will govern in the
present case, there will be some i'm
portant changes which are of vital
interest to the prospective settlers.
The question of prior rights, has been
entirely eliminated and it will be i'm
possible to obtain any claim to a par
ticular tract by settling on it in ad-
vance. In fact residence. on the land
before the date of opening is for
hidden, although settlers will have free
access to the property, in order that
they may be able to select valuable
claims.
Some Of the richest agricultural
lands still in the possession of the gov
ernment in Northern Minnesota are to
be thrown open at this time What
is considered the most desirable prop
erty is located in the Cass Lake dis
trict, in the neighborhood of the head
waters Of the Mississippi river The
soil there closely resembles that in the
Red River valley and 1t is thought
that the farms which will be estab-
lished there will eventually prove as
rich.
1t is expected that the opening of
this vast tract will bring about an
unprecedented rush of settlers 1t will
be necessary that they be bona fide
settlers and the opening is sufficiently
early to give them ample time to pre-
pare for the winter. The first man
at the land office on the opening date
will secure choice Of claims and they
will be taken in regular order. During
some of the recent openings in the
Duluth district the file extended outside
Of the federal building and into the
street and there is every reason to be-
lieve that the demand will be even
more keen on this occasion. The
Indian lands, contained in reservation
have long been a source of.much envy,
on the part of the people who con-
templated taking government claims.
They were beyond the reach of land
grabbers and they have been preserved
intact, until this time.
Of the land to be thrown open, g
whole township will not be available,
in any instance. A portion of the land
has already been taken during other
openings and in some instances, the
property which will be offered by the
government will be in a comparatively
populated district

 so,OOO.
 The dedication exercises of the New St. Michaels Italian Roman Catholic church in Wooster Square, which has risen out of the ruins of the building which was destroyed by fire last Jan- uary, were held yesterday morning. The new building has been erected on more elaborate plan than the old, and is a handsome structure. The new aI- tars are larger than the old, the seats are arranged in different fashion and the two side aisles, of the former edifce are replaced by main aisle in the cen tetr of the building. The building has handsome new tower which contains large bell The H. Hall 6 Co, organ builders, of this city, are building a new organ for the church, but although the parts are now ready it was not pos sible to set the organ up in time for the exercises. The cost of the improve ments is about sS00OO.
 It was large congregation that surg ed from Wooster Square into the church yesterday morning at 1O:SO o'clock. The dedication exercises were conducted by the Rt Rev. Bishop Tierney of Hart ford. The service was in the Latin tongue. Rev. Father Russell of St. Patrick's church sang the dedicatory high mass. About ten priests from the various Roman Catholic churches of the city were present. The exercises were largely musical in nature. Miss Helen Coyle of Branford, soprano, and Miss Marie Hugo, contralto, sang spec cial solos.
 Rev. Father Alussi is the pastor of the church. The trustees are Alfonso Maresca and Donate Vece.
 Thus the society passes from the old regime into the new.

Its Motive Power u Furnished by
Men.
III MI Daney. in the Office Of the
Southeastern Passenger association at
Atlanta, gives an interesting account
Of d funny railroad in Japan where the
motive power IS furnished by men who
run behind and push the cars up the
steep grades, says the Atlanta Consi-
tuition. Describing the road, Mr.. Dancy
said: "The japanese have a two foot
gauge railroad from station near
Tokyo over a very hilly and crooked
route along the sea FOR about twenty
miles to a bathing resort where there
are hot springs and the views Of the
sea are said to exceed even the love
lest shores of the Mediterranean.
"The cars on this road are nearly
cubical and too low for European Of
ordinary height to stand in. The frst
class cars seat only four passengers.
These are dispatched in what may be
called conveys, usually Of three, not
coupled, but few yards apart.
"In front trots the conductor, blowing
a horn to warn people at crossings, etc.
The motive power on the up grades is
furnished BY three men pushing each
Cur. These men when a summit is
reached mount the footboard by which
the car is entered, and So coast down
hill, on the long and steep ones at a
terrific speed, which carries the car well
up the opposite slope and frightens the
passengers half out Of their wits
"At the turuouts Japanese girls
serve tea and fruit to the passengers
and trainmen alike and on arriving
at the terminus (the twenty miles are
usually made in four hours) the pas
sengers part from the conductors and
wagon pushers with many reverences. "

Bravery Of the Russian Artist In an
Asiafic Campaign.

Bravery Of the Russian Artist In an
Asiafic Campaign.
The late YassilI Yereschagin, the dis
tinguished Russian artist and greatest
Of modern battle painters, accompanied
General Kaufman who undertook the
conquest Of Tartary, Bozhara and the
Pamirs, pushing the Russian domain
up to the very gate Of India, says the
Washington Post. NJ. Yereschagin ac-
companled the expedition, remaining
throughout the entire campaign. The
two paintings that made him famous,
the @Kirghez Head Hunters and
Russians Surprised by Tartars, were
the result Of this trip.
The FIRST is a life size painting Of a
group Of wild Kirghez Tartars who
have ridden down and captured some
Russians, whose heads they are carry
ing as trophies back 10 their encamp-
ment The other represents an action
IN which the artist was personally en-
gagged Riding one day with an adj
vance guard Of cavalry and taking
hasty sketches Of the central Asia to-
biography. they were suddenly surround.
ed and cut of BY a large body Of Tar
tar cavalry. A bloody engagement fol-
lowed, both sides fighting desperately.
for in this campaign neither side gave
quarter
The artist was thrown to the ground
and almost killed as a result Of his
horse being shot and instantly killed
running at full speed. The result OF
this was that he was cut OF from the
command, along with one OF his friends.
an officer OF the detachment, who had
been seriously wounded and had fallen
from his horse With magnificent cour-
age Vereschagin, stunned and his face
covered with blood, sprang to his feet
and, standing over the PROSTATE form
Of the wounded officer. emptied two re-
volvers, ten shots In all, at the mob Of
bowling Tartars closing IN on them,
bringing down savage at every shot.
The timely appearance on the scene of
the main column was all that saved the
pair.
Later IN this same campaign yeres-
chagin made bis temporary headquar
tiers in the ancient Tartar city Of Sam
arkand, tn Asia The city had fallen
into the hands Of the Russians only a
short time before his arrival. and Gen
eral Kaufman. thinking that a small
garrison would be sufficient to hold it,
left the place In charge Of 800 Russians
and departed with the main body Of
the army to reduce Bokhara. A few
days later force Of 10000 Tartars ap-
peared on the scene and laid siege to
the town Yereschagin held no com
mand whatever. but rather than see
the Russians lose this important strong
hold he assumed command and for
FIVE days held out against the over
whelming force Of Tartars until Gen.
eral Kaufman, to whom word had been
sent, returned to the relief Of the be
leaguered city.
For this he w9s decorated by the car
with the cross Of st. George, the high.
est military honor conferred by the
1 Russian government.
