EURRENDERS COME TOO LATE

ST. PETERSBURG. August 29.-The lib
fal papers welcomed the semi-official state
hent made yesterday in behalf of the gov
ernment to the effect that it would be a
great mistake to suppose that revolutionary
terrorism will be met by terrorism on the
part of the government, and adding that
the cabinet intends to continue in the path
of the reform.
But the papers plainly manifest their dis
trust of whether the ministry will be able
to master the situation by the publicat ton
of the ukase providing for the distribution
of land to the peasants. Some of the pa
pers. however, hail the announcement as
being distinct concession from the posi-
tion which the government took two weeks
ago. when Premier Goremykin returned a
non possumus to this demand on the part
OF parliament
The strana calls attention to the fatality
with which the government SurrenderS al
ways come too late, and says that had the
appanages been offered with the crown
lands when parliament raised the question
1t might have furnished the basis for a
reconciliation. At present the paper doubts
whether it will greatly affect the situation.
The Rossa extols the ukase as being the
emperor's gift of land to the people, and
for which the latter should be thankful, as
the price of land is rapidly increasing the
imperial income last year from the portion
to be distributed being s., S43,O 900.

Young American Charged With Al
legged Swindle.

LONDON, August pa well-dressed
young American, posing as a member of
the Harvard crew, victimized West End
tradesmen out of several hundred pounds
sterling during the past week. His plan
was most simple. Registering at the large
hotels under the name of one of the Har-
ward crew, he would go to stores and or
der clothes and other articles to be sent
to the hotel where he was stopping, asking
that the bill be forwarded the next day.
In every case the tradesmen fell into the
trap, and the articles were sent. But
when the collectors went for the money
they were informed that the man had left
soon after the arrival Of the parcel. Gun
makers, taiiors and others were among .hs
victims.
Apparently merely for bravado the man
called on the curate of a fashionable church
and spent three hours with him, discuss
ing church affairs. Before leaving he
promised to contribute more than $1,000 to
various charities After waiting some days
for the money the curate called at the
American embassy to inquire for the man,
who had given the name of d. A. Newall,
number in the Harvard boat and found
that he had been deceived

FREAKISH WEATHER.
All Grades of Prognosticators Baf1ed
by the Conditions.


The prevailing freakish weather Is un-
guessable. and defies alike the official fore
casters of Uncle Sans weather bureau and
the weather-wise sages who base their
forecasts on signs and omens. predic-
tion of clearing weather is pretty sure to
be followed by drenching and continued
fall of rain, with dense and suicide-pro-
voking cloudness, while prognostication
to the effect that there will be rain is apt
to be met by fair skies and a glare Of
torrid sunshine.
The freak weather conditions which be-
gan to manifest themselves in June have
continued to play all manner of meteoro-
logical pranks, until "Old Probs." in sheer
despair, has thrown up both hands and ac-
knowledges that his probabilities" are
away up in the air.
Abnormal conditions have marked the en-
tire summer season, accompanied by quick
and bewildering meteorological changes.
Never since the weather bureau began ks ep-
ing official tab on the meteorological con-
ditions, more than thirty-five years ago,
has this city and vicinity witnessed such a
rainy August, with rainfall of nearly thir-
teen inches. Other abnormalities have been
noted until 1905 will be written in the rec
ords as the freakiest freak year Of all.
What Is the weather outlook now?"
asked Star reporter this afternoon, ad-
dressing one of the weather officials.
1T is difficult to say he replied, but
present conditions point to continuance OF
unsettled weather and more showers"
In explanation of the fickleness Of the
weather he said the rainy conditions are
general through the south Atlantic states.
The immediate cause of so much precipi-
tation Is that moist air is being forceu over
the continent by the prevailing east and
southeast winds. These winds are coming
from over the Atlantic ocean and are con-
sequently freighted with moisture The ba-
rometric conditions are also unsettled. The
records of the weather bureau show that
there are no very high or very low p. p.essares
anywhere, therefore the difficulty of making
accurate predictions.

CoBWEBs ON THE BIG STICK.
President Has Decided to Let Cuba
Alone.

That the President has decided on a POI
icy of hands or or non-interference in
Cuba, as recently stated in The Star. has
been confirmed by later advices from
Oyster Bay. 1t is announced that the Pres
ident Is fully assured Of the ability of the
Cuban government to efrectually suppress
the insurrection within a short time, and,
as he himself has expressed his position
in the matter, Cuba will be allowed to
work out her own salvation without help
from the United States other foreign
government"
This explains why neither warships nor
troops have been sent to Cuba, and why
this government is simply confining its eff
forts in the Cuban affair to the enforce
ment of the neutrality laws.

One Man Killed and Several Seriously

How Brakeman Died.
PROMPT ACTION

NEW YORK, August 29.-One man was
killed and seven others seriously injured in
freight-train wreck on the New York
Central railroad at 174th street and Park
avenue early today.
The man killed was Charles Mahoney,
twenty-seven years old, brakeman, of
White Plains, N. Y.
John Leonard, twenty-four years Old, of
White Plains, N. Y, brakeman, fractured
right leg and general contusions Of body.
Patrick Masterson Of White Plains,
brakeman, badly bruised.
The wreck was caused by the breaking
apart of freight train which left White
Plains half an hour after midnight, bound
for the yards at 72d street, this city. The
rear cars broke away and they crashed
into the cars which still remained attached
to the locomotive. There were thirty-two
cars in the train originally.
When the crash came the tenth and elev-
enth cars were smashed, while seven others
left the track and fell over to track No. 2.
Mahoney, the brakeman, was standing on
car about in the middle of the train
when the crash came. He was thrown to
the track and one of the overturned cars
crushed him to death.
Averted Serious Accident.
The prompt action of the engineer, Sidney
Velsor. Of the Brewster Express No. 2,
averted serious accident and one that
might have been attended with serious loss
Of life. The express was due at the point
of the accident and was close behind, the
freight. Engineer Velsor's train was on
track and he was going at the rate of
forty miles an hour, when he noticed the
obstruction caused by the wreck His
prompt work stopped the express with the
pilot of the engine actually touching the
wreckage. The express passengers were
thrown from their seats by the sudden stop
but none was hurt.
The eoroRer's investigation developed that
Brakeman Mahoney's death was probably
caused by the Brewster express. Mahoney,
who had fallen under the last overturned
car, was still alive when--thes express
touched the wreckage. The jar was suf-
fcient to crush him to death. When a cor
oner arrived on the scene and heard this he
ordered the arrest of Engineer Velsor, who
only few minutes before, had been re-
ceiving the congratulations of his passen-
gers for saving their lives.

That indictment was on nineteen counts,
