The Weather in May.

The monthly meteorological summa
ry issued for May, 1906, by DR.. F. H.
Snow, Of the University of Kansas
says the month closed was warm, dry
cloudy and windy. The rainfall was
remarkably deficient, falling below an
inch for the first time during the 80
years of the record for May. and being
only one-fifth of the May average.
The rainfall for the five months OF
1906, now completed. has been less
than half the normal amount, making
a. greater deficiency for the same Pc
riod than in any year since 1870. Not
withstanding the deficient rainfall, the
percentage of cloudiness was much
higher than the average, having been
exceeded in only six preceding Mays.
The wind record exceeded that of any
May since that of 1896.

Fear Of Death H%astens End,

Though for two years he was con-
stantly living under the threat of as
sassination, with even members of his
own family among those seeking to
take his life, General Trepof's death
was due entirely to natural causes;
but the reyo!utionists can at least
claim partia! responsibility for his end,
as his illness was superinduced by the
strain due to constant fear of death,
which with lack Of exercise and recre-
alton during the last two years wore
down his originally splendid constitu-
ton. He had become so nervous of
late that recently when a military at
tache of a Continental power was un-
~expectedly ushered into his room Gen
eral Trepof sprang to his feet and
stood in ar attitude Of defense; but
when he recognized his visitor he sank
into a chair almost unnerved.
In all six actual attempts on the life
of General Trepoff have been made
within the last three years and only
last July General Kozloff of the head
quarters staff was assassinated at Pc
terhof by a terrorist who believed he
was firing upon Trepoff.

ABOUT THREE SCORE DEAD.
Property Damage at Sledlce Will Be
immense.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 13.-The re-
sumption of Geographic communion
ton with Siedlce has enabled the press
of st. Petersburg for the first time to
present a picture Of the conditions in
the ravaged town. AS in the case of
the massacre at Bialystok later mes
sages greatly reduce the number Of
dead from that given in early reports.
The property losses, however, from
the fury and cupidity of the mob and
the destruction wrought by lombard
ment and subsequent fire are placed
higher, running to several hundred
thousand dollars. Although it is said
officially that forty-four persons were
killed correspondents enumerate sixty
two corpses, mostly of Jews, which
have been gathered on the streets, in
houses n in various hospitals for
burial.
The number of corpses buried pri-
vately or consumed in burning build
ings may add another score to this
number. A pitiful feature of the tx
cesses was the death from thirst of
many wounded persons who were
abandoned by their friends in houses
from which the people were forced to
fee for their lives. Firemen are
searching deserted houses for bodies.

to whether regulation would ever suf-

government ownership of trunk lines

CITY OF CHICAGO WINS FIGH-

STREET RAILWAYS.

Chicago, Sept. 15.-Judge Thomas

decided in favor of the city of Chicago
in the injunction suit based on the
Mueller law, which provides for the
issuance of $4,000, 900 worth of rail.
way certificates by the city.
The law was declared constitutional
by the court, who also held that subse-
quent ordinances regarding the pur-
chase and operation Of the street rail-
ways, passed by the city, are in COM
pliance with the law. The decision
was a complete victory for the city,
the court holding against every point
advanced by the compliments in their
bill, which was dismissed for want of
equity.
The court pointed out that it was
the evident purpose of the legislature
and of the Chicago city council, in the
laws and ordinances passed by those
bodies, to give the city the right to-
municipalize the street railways.

FEAR BIG TARIFFWAR
DELEGATION OF GERMAN MANU-.
FACTURERS CALLS ON PRES.
lDENT ROOSEVELT.

Oyster Bay. n. Y, Sept. 17.-Pres-
ident Roosevelt during the day re-
ceived a delegation of manufacturers
from Germany who sought relief from
what they considered restrictive lesis-
lation in American customhouses
against imports from Germany. The
delegation was headed by c. Leo Zef-
fen of Aix-la-C happelle and Bernhardt
Cohnen of Gredebroich. President
Roosevelt referred them to Washing
ton, where they went Immediately and
were they were to consult the officials
of the treasury and state departments
and present in detail any complaints
they have to make against the GUS
toms regulation. After these COM
plants have been made the president
indicated that he would receive a re-
port regarding them from officials of
these departments.
After the interview with the presi-
dent Mr., Zoffen explained that the
meeting was n of vital Importance
to German manufacturers. Last July,
he said, a tariff war by Germany
against the United States was avoided
and an agreement made by which no
such action would be taken for one
year because it had been represented
that American customs regulations
would be so amended in favor of Ger
man imports so as to do away with
the veNation complained of. Up to
this time, he said, no step had seem
ingly been taken by the American ad-
m~inistration to carry out it's part of
the agreement. He said that the
agrarian members in the German
reichstag were decidedly in favor of a
tariff war against America and that
the failure on our part to amend the
obnoxious custom regulation would
serve as an excellent excuse for the
beginning of this wal next July.
