FIRST MEETING IN MONTHS
THREE MEMBERS WERE AWAY,

MOST OF THEIR TIME TO CON-
sIDERING THE CUBAN slTuA.
TIoN-MAGooN TO HAVANA.

Washington Oct. 2.-The first cabf-
net meeting for more than three
months was held at the White House
today. 1t was attended by Secretaries
Root, Bonaparte, Wilson, Metcalf;
Postmaster General Cortelyou and At
torney General Moody, the absentees
being Secretaries Taft, Shaw and
Hitchcock
There were a number of important
matters brought up, Cuba naturally
occupying the most conspicuous place
in the discussion.
1t is understood that proposition
was under consideration to send Gov,
Charles e. Magoon of the canal zone,
who arrived in Washington this MORN
ing. directly to Havana to act as the
representative there of the civil
branch of the war department In case
such an official is deemed necessary.
This, of course, would indefinitely
postpone the assumption by RTagoon
Of the office Of vice governor OF the
Philippines.

BRAKEMAN R !. \! KILLED
HE WENT TO SLEEP ON THE
RAIL.
His Train Was Waiting for the De-
layed Passenger and he Used the
Rail for a PilIow-The Body Was
Terribly Manuled.

Larimore, N D., Oct. 2.--Clarence
F. Harvey, freight brakeman en-
ployed by the Great Northern, was in
stantly killed by being struck by the
east bound Oriental Limited, running
= ts,'everal hours late.
" 'rakeman Harvey was employed on
- nductor Williams train, which had
taken the siding at Petersburg to al
low Train to pass. Presumably he
laid down with his head across the rail
of the main line track and went to
sleep. The engineer of Train 2 no.
ticed the man lying there, but suppos-
ed that the signal whistle would
arouse him and he sounded it several
times. The brakeman did not move
and then the emergency was turned
on but it was too late to save the life
OF Brakeman Harvey, whose body was
terribly mangled.
b An inquest was not considered neces-
sary and the remains of the unfor-
tunate young man were brought to
Larimore last night on Train 6. Har-
vey had been employed by the Great
Northern for some time and was re-
garded as faithful employe and ex-
ceptionally careful. How he could so
far forget himself as to lie down on
the track and go to sleep can hardly
be- figured out by his friends

TERRIBLE SLAUGHTER.
ccssacks Beat Peasants to Death on
a Wholesale Plan.

Khersoil, Oct. Ninety seven
peasants were tried here on the charge
of having devastated the estate of M
Kriyoshein. formerly minister of rail-
roads. Sixty three were sentenced to
Imprisonment while thirty -four were
acquitted.
The trial brought out number OF
horrible atrocities committed by the
authorities upon the accused. The
chief of the district, accompanied by d
detachment or cassacks reached the
estate soon after the devastation. All
the peasants on the ground were at
once gathered in, No Investigation
was made. The chief invited priests
to administer the last sacrament to
the prisoners and then ordered the
cossacks to beat them all to death.
The butchery lasted for four hours.
Twenty three peasants were killed
and 135 mutiiated. The cossacks, then
thoroughly tired ont, compelled the
peasants to continue fiogglng each
other. and men had to beat their own
brothers. sons and fathers The VIC
Tins of this slaughter were innocent,
those really guilty having escaped by
flight. In spite OF these revelations
the court found sentences as related
above.

CASEY At TINE ur.

There was ease in Casey's manner as
he slept into his place;
There was pride in Casey's bearing
and smile on Casey's face:
And when. responding to the cheers.
he lightly doft his hat.
No stranger in the crowd could
doubt twas Casey at the bat.
Ten thousand eyes We're on him as he
rubbed his hands with dirt;
Five thousand tongues applauded as
he wiped them on his shirt;
Then, when the writhing pitcher
ground the ball into his hip.
Defiance glanced from Casey's eye,
sneer curled Casey's lip.
And now the leather-covered sphere
came hurtling through the air,
And Casey stood a-watching it in
mighty granduer there.
Close by. the sturdy batsman the
ball unheeded sped,
That amt my STYLE" said Casey.
Strike one!" the umpire said.
From the benches. black with people.
there went up muffied roar.
Like the beating of the storm waves
on the stern and distant shore:
Kill him. Kill the umpire!" shout
ed some one on the stand,
And it's likely they'd have killed
him had not Casey raised his hand
With a smile of Christian charity
great Casey's visage shone;
He stilled the rising tumult: he
bade the game go on:
He signaled to the pitcher and once
more the spheroid flew.
But Casey still ignored it and the
umpire said Strike two!"
Fraud" cried the maddened thous-
and. and the echo answered
Fraud
But one scornful look from Casey
and the audience was awed;
They saw his face grow stern and
cold, they saw his muscles strain.
And they knew that Casey would not
let that ball go by again.
The sneer is gone from Casey's lips;
his teeth are clinched in hate;
He pounds, with cruel. vengeance.
his bat upon the plate;
And now the pitcher holds the ball:
and now he lets it go,
And now the air is shattered by the
force of Casey's blow.
Oh. somewhere in this favored
land the sun is shining bright.
The band is playing somewhere;
somewhere hearts are light;
And somewhere men are laughing;
somewhere children shout:
But there is no joy in Mudville.
Mighty Casey has struck out,
