FATE OF EXILES
The Escaped Saghalien
COnViCtS.
What Has Become of the Band Who
Landed Here Some Months
Since.

The approaching trial of Stanislaus VaZ-
anakosky. the Russian convict. for burglary,
has set the public TO questioning concerning
The tate OF tie remainder OF the gang Of Grim
inals who were dumped on our shores some
months ago by the whaling barks Morgan and
Cape Horn Pigeon.
Stanlslaus Vazanakosky is charged with
having entered house on Powell street for
the purpose Of robbery The crime was COM
mtted soon after the man had been turned out
TO shift for himself by the proprietor of d dime
museum TO whom Stanislaus had hired himself.
Ivan kovolor, the only political prisoner OF
the gang, who, SIX years ago, on New Years day,
was arrested for assisting students in their
fight with the police, had nothing in common
with the Tartars who made trip 10 the cold,
rigid katorga TO serve life term for murder
and assault. No sooner did the manager OF the
dime museum get tired of the conyicts, who
posed as freaks for the sake of some Door cloth
In z and board, than Ivan found ample means to
Ike en- the wolf from his door. There is in this
city, as vel as In other cities, society of revo-
lutlonary Russians no lent helping hand
and sent the homeless ko yolioff TO New York
where he found work AT his trade OF shOemak-
ing.
Charlamie NikitIn. the paper hanger, is be-
coming more and more AmericaniZed, joining
the ranks of the great army of ordinary tramps
and men who never WORK. Day IN and DAY out
he can be seen IN Fakevile and in all other
places wherever and whenever ticket for a
meal or bed can be obtained.
Stefan USSdkOf Is the brave frontier guard
who dreamt of corporal stripes and received
those of d convict Instead. He Is brave, strong
man. and obtained in his time more lashes of
the knout than he can remember. But all his
bravery and physical strength stand very little
show against present hard times, thus Stefan
Ussakoh presents sight plIIful to behold.
The water 'front.' Is at present honOred by his
presence, for Stefan still CheriSbes some hope
OF finding work on one OF the big whaling-ves-
sells. His experience with the Russian priests
OF this CITY was strange. USsakOff and his COM
TadeS believed that they owed their wonderful
escape TO The mercy of the saints, and the next
morning all Went to the Russian Church on
Powell street for prayer. They tiled 10 touch
the heart OF the priest with the pathetic story
OF their misery. Alas for their hopes and
dreams!
The priest, after consulting the Russian I'M
perial Consul, MIR. Artgimovitch, needed not 10
their appeals. He rebuked them severely for
breaking loose from the Little Fathers prison
and finally overflled their cup of bitterness by
a generous offer TO pay their fare back TO the
Czars domain, at the very reminder of which
the poor men shuddered
Far more successful were the three Moham-
medans. Medic Solar, MerZa Beck and Nj oham-
med MeligoD. A kind-hearIed American, with
boX OF candy on his shoulders happened TO
meet the men, and they went together. The
water front was carefully canvaSsed for some
Gays, until work Was finally found for the fol-
lowers OF Monammed on a whaler bound for a
long trip 10 The Boring Sea.
