Gen. Kolpakovski, the military gov
ernor of the vast territory lying be-
tween the Syr-Daris and the Chinese
border, and conqueror of the province
which Russia is now restoring to China,

rare in Russia-the self made officer. A
private soldier Is years ago, he is now
commander-in-chief of an army, and
~undisputed ruler of a territory o. large
- the states of New York and Pennsyl-
vania combined. Over six feet in
height, with an erect and muscular fig
ure, q bold, sun-burned face and close
cropped black hair, he looks "every
inch q soldier" while his splendid
horsemanahip and seemingly mex
haustible endurance have won him
the name of "The Iron Chief"
among the native tribes, whose best rid
ers he has more than once tired down.
His men are fond of relating how, when
crossing the hills with q Cossack detach-
ment he sent back q trooper whose horse
had fallen lame, but when . second,
wishing to avoid the toilsome march,
came to him with the same story, Kol-
pakovski babe him dismount and lead
