St. Petersburg, Russia, July g.
Dispatches received here yesterday
from Samara state that two regi-
ments garrisoning that important
provincial capital, have mutined
and presented a series of political
and service demands. Their officers
promised to satisfy the service de-
mands if the mutineers would return
to duty; but the men replied that
they would be satisfied only with a
compliance with all Of their demands.
The mutineers command the stu
alton, but are not indulging in ex-
cesses. The situation is complicated
by the fact that in Samara the
revolutionists are pushing the move
ment to proclaim republic in case
a general strike is declared and may
seize the present opportunity to
further their aims. The foment
among the soldiers and sailors at
Odessa and Sebastopol continues.
No inkling Of the reported riotine
and pillaging at ylaaivostok has
reached the Russian public, but Mill.
tary authorities who control the
telegraph lines would be able tt
withhold for days any news Of suct
conditions.

An interesting debate on foreign at

the five person, 80 horse power,
side touring car, Buick, yesterday
morning, which was received last
Monday by the company from the
factory. Several persons were after
this machine and 1t was race to see
who got there first. This is claimed
to be the most powerful machine in
the state. 1t ignores hills and rough
prairie and seems to possess natural
instinct, putting forth renewed
energy when it meets these obsta-
cles. Several carloads of Bucks are
expected in the near future to meet
the demand for strong machine.
The other two machines were
bought by H. T. Lightner of Roscoe,
the popular land man, and Mr.. Bah
cock of Rockford, both machines be-
ing five person touring car Cadil-
lacs of the latest designs.
Several deals are still hanging
fire for these makes of machines,
which shows their popularity.

near the present conduit at the end
of the depot platform. The drop there
will be about four feet and will
gradually grow deeper as it ap-
proaches the Moccasin. The depth
Of the sewer will be from five to
thirteen feet. The course of tn esewer
will lie on Railroad avenue until the
city limits on the east side are
reached. From there it will con-
tinue in it's easterly direction until
it reaches the Moccasin.
The cost ofthe sewer will vary
according to the pipe used. The 49,
inch pipe will cost about $4,000,
while the 24-inch pipe, which Mr..
Washburn favors, will cost about
$4,000. The former sized pipe will
pass about 100000 gallons per day
while the 24-inch pipe will pass
about 4,611,00o gallons. It will be
seen from this that an expense OF
about $4,000 in addition to the cost
of the smaller pipe will more than
double the capacity. The difference
in cost is about 60 cents per foot.
Bids for the constructor of the
sewer will be opened on July 23d.

the tug Volunteer bound to Baltimore. She
was towing behind a large barge, and in
the gale and snowstorm Monday night she
broke loose from her tow and was not again
seen until reported capsized. The over
turned vessel was seen and reported by a
number OF steamers arriving here and at
Baltimore, and all her marks correspond to
those on the Russell. Tuesday night the
schooner John A. Curtis bound from Balti-
more 20 Hampton, collided with the wreck,
which was recognized as the Russell by
Capt. Mumford or the Curtis. When last
seen the wreck was drifting down the bay
toward the capes, but II is stated that the

Trade, to Be Sold for
Almost Nothing.

There never has been given a
chance to buy a fine piano at the
prices at which the enormous stock
of Pfeiffer's Piano House is being

pianos have been dumped into the
big Pteltter warerooms, at 1928 F
street, croWding it to the very
doors, and many more are coming
for the spring trade. This great
stock MUST be sold Immediately,
and the great cut in prices will
take them off in a hurry.
Slightly used uprights, including
such makes as Weber, Hazelton,
Nose, kroeger and others, will sell
for SIoo, $II8, $I37 and upwards.
No pianos will be reserved and
none will be held for any one. They
must be delivered Immediately.
Get your money ready for cash
or monthly payments, and be here
on time. The best bargains will be
snapped up by wise buyers.
This is a genuine, honest cut
price sale of standard, warranted
pianos, the like of which has never
been seen in this city. 1t will last
only until the warerooms are
cleared of goods, and the right is
reserved to discontinue without
notice.

THE OLD WAY AND THE NEW
NEEDS OF THE TERRITORY

s'Great changes have taken place in
Klondike in 1898. and this is particularly
true of the mall service" said Mr.. John p
Clum, post Office inspector; to a representa-
tive Of The Star last night. Mr. Clum has
gone to Alaska every summer for the past
seven years. as the representative of the
Post ONCE Department. He has just been
appointed postmaster at Fairbanks, the
largest city in the territory, and expects
soon to leave for his new post
Comparatively few realize" he contin-
ued that the vast territory in the north
west comprises an area equal to twelve
times that of the great state of New York.
That Alaska is. as yet, sparsely populated
Is true enough, but the mining camps and
commercial centers are so distributed as to
make it necessary to operate the mail serv-
ice practically throughout the length and
breadth of this remote In some respects in
bospitable, but wonderful and rapidly de-
veloping country
''In 1898 there was only one post office on
the Yukon west of Dawson, and there was
no mall service either along the Yukon or
to Boring sea points. During the present
winter malls will be carried twice week as
far north as Fairbanks, on the Tanana:
once a week a s far Nome. on the north
Boring sea coast; twice a month as far
north Kotzebue. on the arctic coast and
two trips will be made during the winter

most point of the American mainland and

Want Better Facilities.

IAN of these developments and indus
tries cry out for mail-more mail-better
mail facilities, and the second assistant
postmaster general has four acting chief
clerks of the railway mail service stationed
in Alaska summer and winter, whose duty
it Is to supervise the transportation of the
mails and to report upon and act In emer-
gency cases.
"A limited rural free delivery service is
practicable in Alaska. During the summer
of 1902 Hart Humber was the efficient
carrier forty-mile route, which he
covered twice week to the creeks ada
cent to Nome-to the great delight of the
miners operating there during the busy sea-
son. A similar service would be equally
desirable at Farbanks-and possibly at
Council and Solomon.
IF the Postmaster General were given
full discretion in the matter of the eX-
penditure of the special appropriation he
would be able to meet all emergencies in
a manner that would mean the best service
at fair compensation.
