ICE BREAKS THROUGH.
Russia's Transportation Across Lake
BaikaI Disrupted.

St Petersburg, Feb. 17.-According
to kilograms from Missouvia, one of
those dreaded storms that terrorize
Lake Baikal has broken out, most un-
fortunately, just at the moment when
the rails were being laid on the ice.
A double rupture of the ice has taken
place some versts from Tanhoi, on the
eastern side, leaving open gaps of sew
eral yards, which will have to be filled
up with ice blocks. The work has
been interrupted some days, while
wood sleepers are still missing. Big
stocks at Irkutsk have been employed
in consolidating the railway there.

UNIQUE WAR RECORD OF A DOG

Once Owned by Botha and Followed
the Irish Troops In Boer War.
Unusual interest centered In a case
heard in the Dublin court yesterday,
in which the leading figure was bull
dog that formerly belonged t. General
Philip Botha and went through a good
portion of the South African war.
! Ernest Warrington, canteen manager
for the contractors, was summoned for
cruelty to the animal, which has been
stationed for some time past with the
Royal Irish Rifles at Richmond Bar
racks.
The bulldog, which now belongs to
Color Sergeant Edwards Royal Irish
Rifles, was accommodated with seat In
the witness box, from which point he
seemed to take languid interest in the
proceedings. He was dressed in a
-A9s aIoM puB 's5UloBJ u57I5 pEM 1900
eral South African medals with clasps.
The animals record is an eventful one.
During the Boer war he was captured
by the Second Royal Irish Rifles,
mounted infantry, from COmmandant
Philip Botha's farm in the DoOrnberg
in September, 1900.
From that time until the end of the
war he trekked with the rifles mounted
force from Griqualand In the west tc
Rasutoland in the east and he still
bears the scar of wound received In
action. Later he was with General
French's column in Cape Colony. Fol-
his service the bulldog now wears the
queens South African medal with two
clasps. Mr.. Drury remarked, wheI
the case was called, that this was th'
most distinguished dog in the country
as he had medals-LOndon Telegraph
