WISCONSIN CHEERS JAPAN.
Notable Dinner of the Badger State So
ciety in New York.

A dispatch from New York last night
says: If there We're any Russians around
the Wisconsin Societys dinner at the Wal
dorf-Astoria last night never one of them
showed his face lifted his voice
Consul General Sadazuch Uchida of ia
did the rest. After the New York immi-
grants from the badger state got into their
swing the dinner might as we'll have been
a Japanese mass meeting.
Gen. Joe Wheeler started the ball rolling
apparently quite unintentionally, by cas-
ual reference to the mikado and a few
pleasant compliments for Mr.. Uchida.
Apparently Mr. George Francis Kerr
and the rest of the dinner committee had
foreseen hot time coming, for they bound
the menu cards in Wisconsin asbestos.
Over the grave and revered head OF
Justice James A. Blanchard, who presided
at the dinner was cage containing live
badger. The cage was draped with Ameri-
can flags The badger was out at the front
of the cage, standing up against the bars
most of the time, and Joined cheerful
squeaks to the cheers of the diners and the
applause of the ladies in the galleries for
Japan.
Justice Blanchard said that 1t had always
been his custom In greeting a member OF
the confederate army to remind him that
he had spared the members life in the
great civil conflict He now had the honor
of seeking the thanks of the Wisconsin
Society for sparing the life of Gen. Joe
Wheeler so that he might talk to them

NO DANGER OF FLOOD
ICE ABOVE THE CITY MOVES
QUIETLY AWAY.
Gorge Breaks and Passes Down Poto-
mac in Hugh Blocks, Doing
No Damage.

The ice gorged at the Three Sisters in
the Potomac above the Aqueduct bridge Is
no longer a menace to the railway bridge
or the safety of shipping in Georgetown
harbor. In broken masses 1t Is floating
down the Potomac, and will pass to Chesa-
peake bay If it does not melt before 1t
reaches there. When the residents of
Georgetown went to bed last night the
gorge was still holding on Notwithstanding
the efforts of the tugs and the use of
dynamite to dislodge It, When they awak-
ened this morning it was broken up and
floating down the river.
Unlike most gorges that have refused to
move at the behest of man, it did not
start with a loud grinding noise,' that
could be heard for miles, but slowly and
silently, in the darkness of the night, it
gave away, piece by piece. until the pack
ed ice was disrupted and nothing remained
for the dynamiters to do.
The tugs are at work keeping the big
cakes of ice from lodging between the pers
of the old and new railway bridges. Ex-
cept for this there would be no need of
their services and it is expected they will
be able to lay off tomorrow afternoon at
the latest.
The fleet of gorge breakers worked at
the ice pack all day yesterday, breaking
off piece here and piece there, but
apparently producing but little effect on
weather no dynamite was used yesterday,
but it was the intention of Commodore
Sutton to try it again today in larger
charges; but during the night a current
caused by the heavy rains in the noun
tains about the headwaters of the river
started running. The gorge already
weakened by the ramming of the tugs
and the dynamite explosions, was ready
to yield to the pressure of the current.
AS the water worked it's way through
the crevices of the ice it dislodged the
key pieces under the surface of the
stream and the huge structure, which
has defied the best efforts of the tugboat
men for nearly three weeks, broke away,
and with it went all danger of flood.
The current is running under Long
bridge today at the rate of five or six
miles an hour, and it is carrying the ice
along with it. Some of the passing cakes
stand three or four feet above the sur
face of the water and are covered with
mud, showing that they must have lain
on the bottom of the river.
The mass of ice above the Three Sisters
which was held back by the gorge is now
coming out, and it is only a question of
twenty-four hours before the Potomac
above Georgetown will be free of ice.
The gorge which has just given away
formed early in January and has re-
manned solid and immovable since that
time. 1t is the biggest gorge that has
been seen in the river in over thirty
years and will go down in history as the
most stubborn to move that has ever
formed in the vicinity of Washington.

WORLD FROZEN STIFF -
Something About Vladivostok and Its
VICINITY in Winter

Russia has patiently worked and has
expended millions of rubes on the de-
lenses of Vladivostok. the eastern termi-
nal of the Trans-Siberan railroad and
the cars Gibraltar of the north, which
the Japanese bombarded Sunday for
a short time 1t will take, it is thought
not only a mighty force by sea, but a
great army to reduce it.
The harbor is admirably located with
narrow entrances, bordered on all sides
by hills of ample height to give excel
lent elevation to batteries and to afford
splendid protection for gun position. All
the channels from the sea are commanded
by many batteries of modern ordnance
Few of the guns are, however, of create
caliber than ten inches. Within the last
two years many old guns have been re-
placed with new ones.
Possesses Excellent Anchorage.
The city of Vladivostok is located al
most at the toe of the Muravev Amurski
peninsula, on a harbor which affords ex-
cellent anchorage for warships as well
as merchantmen. There is located here
a large navy yard. with adequate dry
docks and repair-shop facilities.
In admirably formed repression on
the Muravev promontory, across the har-
Dor, south of the city, is located a large
battery of powerful mortars The en-
trance to the harbor and the passages to
the are guarded by heavy batteries,
and these channels in a time like the
present heavily mined.
Within the last two years a ship canal
was built near the upper end of the Super
nui peninsula. The strategical value of
this is to permit torpedo craft from the
defenses an opportunity to sortie against
enemy bombarding the city from dis
tance without attempting to run the bat
terieS, all of which are connected in the
rear BY sunken roads, which permit the
rapid transportation of ammunition from
one to another without danger from the
enemy's fire.
Well Protected by Land Batteries.
only from the north, the city is we'll pro-
tected by strings of land batteries con-
nected one with the other by sunken
roads, and which are equipped with the
heaviest ordnance in northern Asia
In winter time Vladivostok and It's vi
cinity has been aptly described as a black
world frozen stiff There is little snow
nothing more, in fact, than a frozen mist.
or an icy dust, which leaves the Landscape
hard and bleak. Even at this time of year
the cold is intense. Great breaking
or leaving the harbor, which is entirely
frozen over.
To allow ones furnace to go out at
night in Vladivostok means to be frozen
to death. During the long winters drunk
enness Is very prevalent, and is often at
tended by fatal results. Men fall intoxi-
