Every one of the 10 buildings was total ly demolished. Not a vestige of them remains. The debris that was strewn over the ten acres of ground where the plant was located took fire soon after the explosion and added its terrors to the disaster. The dismembered parts of the dead were burned in many in stances. Identification of many was made by parts of clothing alone. The first three explosions' were not as seri ous as the last four. Then the packing house, pressing room and magazine blew up, followed by two cars of dynamite standing on a nearby railroad siding, which were set of! by the concussion from the powder mill explosions.

Russia's Troubles. Anxiety prevails in Russian official circles over the revolt in the Caucasus. In the fighting at Baku 1 .000 people were killed or wounded in an attack on the military camp. No quarter was shown by the troops. Turkish agitators are blamed for inciting the Tartars to bloodshed and pillage. Managers of the oilworks have appealed to the Czar for more troops. The fires con tinue. The extent of the Tartar ris ing is a great surprise to the Causasus authorities. The Tartars have devastated and pilliagcd many villages and massacred the residents.

Appeals to tha Czar. St. Petersburg, (By Cable). Through a dispatch from Tirtis and current reports in St. Petersburg say that the oil works and tanks at Baku have been entirely con sumed and the town practically wiped out; according to a dispatch to the Nobel Company from Baku this is an error, and the loss, though enormous, is not complete. lhis dispatch stated that the firing in the town had ceased and that the in cendiarism had been checked. The fate of the banks and works which are not yet on fire depends on the wind, which is blowing a hurricane. ' Unless it changes and sweeps the fire back on the unaf fected districts there is hope of saving some of the properties. The sender of the dispatch was unable to give details of what had been destroyed and was not destroyed, smoke and flames preventing a close examination. The St. Petersburg press attacks the government for its indecision in handling events in the Caucasus and its neg lect to attempt to take measures to re concile the Armenians and Tartars, and declares that the ruin of one of the most inportant industries in Russia and im mense losses to industry and commerce are the fruits of the governmental dis regard for years of the most legitimate anp practical suggestions of the oil men, especially the government's refusal of their request for authority to establish a local organization for self-protection against the excesses of the natives.

A mob on Clinton Street caused the death of a little girl while trying to get at a motorman, and in the riot that fol lowed several persons were badly hurt.
