Siberian Convicts1 Land In Alaska but Are Not4 Wanted. ' Cordova, Alaska. July 19. The St. Croix has brought, here 100 Russians, part of the 800 landed at Nome by the Russian Bteamer Vaarg and held up as the result of a Nome mass meeting, but finally landed when it was found they had the necessary amount of . . . . . i i money, uoraova ODjects to tneir inu- ing and they may be taken to beattie. Among the party are Feveral who are believed to be members of the band of political convicts who escaped from a penal colony in the interior of Siberia Beveral months ago and who on June 20, were reported to be working their way toward East cape, on the ex treme Eastern coast of Siberia in an effort to cross the Behring straits and reach America. The men believed to be the escaped convicts are wearing old Cossack uni forms. These men have been keeping their own counsel, refusing to com municate even with the other Russians who came down from the North with them. The party reached Nome from Si beria, on the Russian steamer Vaarg. After arriving in Nome the men re embarked on the Bteamer St. Croix, and came to this port, where they asked for work in the construction camps of the Copper River & Northwestern rail road. The uniforms worn by the men sup posed to be the escaped political exiles show very hard usage. It is believed the clothes were taken from the guards killed in the battle at Chupotosk, near the Arctic circle last March, when the convicts defeated a company of pursu ing Cossacks. The Russians who came from Nome on the same vessel with the suspected men profess to know nothing of their identity, and share the belief that they are the survivors of the band of exilep who were fighting their way across 1,- 500 miles of Siberian waste. 50,000 WANT LAND.
