ST. PETER8BURQ, Maroch 4. - (New
York Herald Cablegram Special Telegram.)
The Herald's occasional correspondent
on the Siberian railroad writes from Bla
SoveMhtetiak. The raoat lntereatlns point
In hla letter Is that In which he tells of
the Urge number of Conacka In the dis
tricts through which he passed. All are
hardened and trained, making splendid and
enthuslastlo fighting material. The letter
followst
"BLAOOVESHTENSK. FVb. S.-8tnce
writing my last letter from Chabaroonk.
Ihe . capital of tho Usurl government, I
tiavs travelled along the Amur river, the
natural boundary between Manchuria and
the Amur dutiict to Blagoveshtansk, which
la the seat of the governor of the Amursky
district- All along the Amur between Cha
barooak and Ulagoveshtensk on Uie left
bank of the river, the northern one, there
are Cossack settlements at a distance of
every twenty verats (thirteen miles). The
distance between the two towna Is 840
versts (540 miles) and when one comes to
consider that each settlement has at least
600 fully armed and equipped Cossacks
ready fur service whenever railed out, one
arrive at the very substantial conclusion
that there Is a border defense force on
this particular Una of more than W.0C0 men.
"The general feeling of the population
In all these aettlements I passed through
Is one of peace, but in case of war they
say they will not be required to be called
twice. They say they are always ready
tnd when looking upon these men,
hardened by severe climatic conditions, one
cannot but come to the conclusion that in
these Cossack settlers Russia has a for
mldable force.
"When one considers that not only Is the
distance from Chabnroosk to Blagovesh
tensk occupied by these men, but the
whole of eastern S'berla practically, then
the position here Is certainly of a' kind to
command the greatest respect.
"Aa far as tupplles are concerned, grain
and other necessary stores are scattered
over the district In great abundance, as
well as horse food In great quantities.
This lattor, undor the circumstances, Is
of great value to this part of the country,
where no grass will be available until at
least In June.
Horses !e Brnil Endurance.
"While mentioning horsea It may be of
Interest to know the strength and staying
power of the Cossuck borae. In eastern
Siberia, to begin with, there re no stables,
whether for winter or summer. Consid
ering this fact and remembering that the
frosts here reach CG degrees below sero,
cejtlgrade, one cun Imagine how hardy
these little, InsignlAcunt horses, smaller
than a small pony, really are, They gal
lop without atopplng twenty-five versts
(seventeen miles) and at some stages even
more, at the rate of fifteen versts (ten
miles) an hour. At the end of such a
stretch they haven't turned a hair. They
are token out and stand In the open, tied
ti a post, without drink or food, for some
six hours, afterward being fed slightly
roasted oats and hay, and only then are
they watered. The consequence Is that
such a horse becomes absolutely Imper
vious to climatic changes and develops
staying powers which are almost wonder
ful, as It becomes tn reality as light aa a
greyhound. But to look at them one would
not think they could travel a verat.
'This Is the horse of the Cossack In these
parts and what concerns horsea may also
be said of ths men, who also hardly look It.
"The garrison here consisted of soma 10,
000 troops;, all told. Twenty thousand Cos
sacks were dispatched from here yesterday
to Tsltskar, a town on the Manchurlan
railway, to relieve the same number, who
will return to headquarters here after they
have been replaced and reviewed by the
military governor. Before leaving they
made a very smart appearance, being spe
cially well mounted. A distance of 450
versts (399 miles) Is to be covered -by them
n nine day'
"I am Informed that In case of war on
Corean territory Chabaroosk, In the Usurl
government, will be one of the main cen
ters of tho Russian land forces.
"The position of Blagoveshtensk from a
defense point of view Is not unlike Ma re
king In Bechunaland In South Africa, and
one can only wonder at the sclge of Blago
veshtensk In the lust Chinese war when th
town was surrounded by some 30,0u0 Chi
nese during twtnty-alx days' and defended
by only 800 of the town guard. I may ven
ture to say there must have been several
Baden Powells In Blagoveshtensk at that
time."

SEWER WORK BEGINS IN APRIL
City Engineer Explains the Saddle
Creek Situation to West
Umahana.
City Engineer Rosewater told the West
Omaha Improvement club last night, that,
barring possible litigation, construction of
the Saddle Creek sewer should begin not
later than April 1 and he estimuted ths
Job would be finished within three and
one-half months. Plans for the pipe line
that will run from California street south
to a point two blocks south of Farnam and
the septic tanks and filter beds to be lo
cated at the terminus are being prepared.
Contracts for the former probably will be
let in a month and for the latter, sometime
later. Meanwhile plans for the latteral
sswer districts In the Mg territory to be
given sewer service for the first time will
be made ready and the people given a
chance to request the council to arrange
so these smaller drains can be built.
Mr. Rosewater gave a detailed history of
the sewer, of the sewer system of Omaha
and the plans for the big engineering work
that will drain west Omaha from Hamil
ton nearly to Leavenworth street. He
brought blue prints which were Inspected
by the olub members with much Interest.
The septic tank system which the engineer
designed for Independence, Mo., and which
has given satisfaction, was explained. It
Is proponed to use the same here so that
the Saddle creek water will not be pol
luted. This feature of the work Is esti
mated to cot from 112,1100 to $15,00i
Gas Inspector Lynch was present and
told the club that the Ninth ward had re
ceived sixty-one of the new Welsbach gas
oline lamps and that Councilman Hunting
ton was planning tj substitute many dis
continued gasoline lamps with Kns and
get other lights for the ward. A res ilutlon
was adopted thanking the council and par
ticularly Councilman HuntlnKMn for their
efforts to give this ward better lighting.
E. A. Iienson Introduced it.
The gas Inspector asked the club members
to help him to protect the new lamps
against the depredations of small boys and
was given the assurance that the citizens
would help him all they could.

commerce In a systematic manner, In order
that the reader may get cienr-cut und ac
curate pictures of the commercial growth
and decay of separate nations, and an un
derstanding of the forces, Industrial, racial
and climatic, which have contributed to the
steady expansion of the world's trade," The
book may bo used not only as a text-booK
for schools, but It may ulso be UBcd profit
ably as a companion book to tho text
book. In his book the author treats of the
commerce from the Egyptians down to the
present day. Ginn & Co. are tho publishers.
Oscar Fay Adams has endeavored In ills
book, "Some Famous American Schools," to
give a superficial description of nine Amer
ican preparatory schools:. He touches but
lightly on the scholastic side but gives
within certain prescribed limits such Im
pressions us the average observer would
obtain in the course of a visit to each. It
is not intended to take tho place of sep
arate volumes devoted to the schools in
question, but rather to Ktimulato a desire
for such monographs, while answering the
more Important queries likely to arise in
the mind regarding these particular schools.
