LONDON, July 28.—The Russian cor- | respondent of the Times says in this morning’s issue that the strike at Baku seems to have been the most serious la- bor disturbance that has ever occurred in Russia; that it extended to Tiflis, to Nostoff and Novo Teherkaak, in the dls- trict of Don Cossacks, and that the Far Eastern Rallway employes were concern- ed. According to the same authority the disturbances have been renewed at Bor- aisoglebsk, on the railway between Voro- nezh and the lower Volga. e e WASHINGTON, July 28.-~The Treasury ‘De- partment has decided that drawbacks will be allowed on imported fresh salmon when canned and exported.

John Wild, S. A. Stewart, George P. Gerber, C. Rigney, Michael Cooney, C. H. La Franceand E. Sinas. The evidence of Warden Wilkinson, Captain of the Guard Murphy and other officials told how the break from prison took place and how Cotter and Joseph Cochrane had been slashed with razors and stabbed with dirks by the band of desperate convicts. The jury quickly returned verdict that Cotter came to his death at the hands of the thirteen convicts, whose names were added to the findings. A charge of willful murder was recorded against the thirteen men and other unknown accomplices who are said. to have been cognizant of the plot and who will be forced out by a rigid investigation. The body of Cotter was shipped on this morning’s train to his home in Sacramento, one of his| sons being in charge of the re- mains. Joseph Cochrane is lying | at the Warden's house mortally wounded. Everything is being done that medical skill can ac- complish, but his condition is very grave and the doctor will not ex- l press a definite opinion as to his chances of recovery until the next twenty-four hours have elapsed. Most of the prisoners here were locked in their cells to- day, and only a few, necessary for certain work, were seen about the yards and grounds. PLOT A YEAR OLD. Now that the excitement of yes- terday has partly subsided and al careful review of yesterday’s out- break is made it is the general opinion of all that no blame can| be attached to any one person. Evidence is already in the pos- session of Warden Wilkinson showing that the outbreak was | planned a year ago and also to‘i take place six months ago. On both of these occasions some of the band of convict plotters weak- ened and gave certain information that led to the frustration of the plots to break for liberty. One year ago dirk knives were found in the cells of some of the| convicts, and a similar discovery was made months ago. Con- vict Wqods boasted of the plots yesterday to Guard Klenzendorf while the officer was a captive of the escaping prisoners. “You thought you were pretty smart, Jack,” said Woods, as he brandished a big dirk in the' of- ficer’s face, “but we were too smart for you this time and your band of stoolies. We could have turned the trick a year ago, and also six months ago, but your stoolies peached on us and you got our knives. But this time we fooled you all.” Guard Klenzendorf is the of ficer who on the above mentioned occasions discovered the knives in certain cells and portions of the prison. Thereis no doubt but that certain convicts enabled the band to make a successful break for liberty. While some of the long dirks that werée wielded yes- terday were fade out of files, the presence of razors showed that outside aid had been secured. A piece of broken razor was picked up in the prison yard last evening, and it must have belonged to one of the weapons used in the battle in the office of the captain of the guard. It is blood-stained and its edge is keen and smooth. The razor and many others must have been smuggled into the prison at some time, as it is impossible to make such weapons out of any of the prison implements used in the PANKEE 3KIL HAS NO EQUAL William Cluff Finds an Exemplification of Fact Abroad.

Two years ago Mr. Cluft and his family started on an extended tour of the world and got as far as the Nile, 'when the sad news of the death of his brother, Thomas Cluff, caused them to abandon thelr trip and hasten back to San Francisco. Last January they start- ed again, going direct to Madeira, Portu- gal, and from there to Gibraltar, Malta, Smyrna, Constantinople, Beirut, Java, Jertisalem, Jericho and the principal cities of Europe, traveling leisurely and seeing all that was to be seen. In discussing his trip last evening Mr. Cluff said: My travels have left one fact deeply pressed upon m Dpeople of the T im- ta: complain of their condition are far better off commerc: than the peonle of the cities in the old coun- tries.
