ANOTHER DRY SPELL.
That Is, if St. Swithin's Legend Holds
 True.

St. Swithins day (yesterday) passed off without a trace of rain despite the lowering skies that made their appear ance for short time just before sun down. According to the popular legend therefore we have before us forty more days with which rain will be conspc- uous for It's absence, a fate that after what we have just been through has no particularly cheerful aspect espe- cially to the farmers. In fact they have been seeing too much of the silver lin ing and would like to see some dark sides to the clouds for awhile.
 In temperance yesterday was a great relief from what we have had and the storm of the day before seemed to have accomplished something While the sun pushed the mercury well up where it got a chance, there was very clear and bracing air and when the sun had gone down 1t was delightfully."- cool for midsummer

BOMB IN APARTMENT
First Dynamite Outrage in Building Not Occupied
 by Italians,
NO CLUE TO CAUSE OF IT
Glass Shattered and Tenants Hurled from Beds in Big Harlem
 Apartment House.

New York, July l5,-With a report that was heard for blocks and force SO terrific that scores of occupants were thrown from their beds, a bomb or stick of dynamite exploded this morning in the areaway of the apart ment house known as Watts Court, Nos. lGi-l69 West One Hundred and Fortieth street. More than dozen windows In the house wers broken, doors were smashed, and a huge hole was torn in the cement flooring. The damage was more than Sl000.
 Although detectives from the Harlem bureau made investigations, ihey were unable to get any clue to the cause of the explosion. The circumstances point to the theory that the bomb was set off by Italians, for the manner in which the act was committed was sim liar to the method followed by the per petrators of other recent outrages.
 In the house live forty-two families. There Is only one Italian, n wealthy exporter He denied that he had recelv- ed any threatening letters. and said that, so far as he knew. he had no enemies. This is the first Instance on record of such an outrage in a bullj- ing not occupied by Italians.
 The building ls q seven-story struc. ture on the land once known as the Watt farm, It Is owned by the Lenox Realty company of No. 1l5 Broadway. Shortly after 3:9O o'clock the bomb was thrown In the areaway leading from the street to the basement and used for storing coal, It has a cement bottom. and the windows have been boarded up The explosion ripped off all the boards A hole about ten feet in diameter was made In the cement, and the windows on the first and seconi floors were either blown into the apart ments or out into the areaway. Win dows on the upper floors were also smashed. and the glass fell to the street.
 Immediately after the explosion there was a panic among the tenants. Scores were thrown from their beds, and ev' cry one was awakened. All made [ rush for the halls, and started to tht ground floor, scantily clad. The pres ence of mind displayed by the men pre- vented serious accidentsAand the wom en and children were quieted and flnall, persuaded 10 return to their rooms.
 Although the report could be heart far away by occupants of othe rapart ment houses. no policeman appeared for nearly half an hour. Finally { message was telephoned to the Wes one Hundred and Twenty-flfth stree station, and the reserves, under Lieu tenant McDermott, were sent to th houge

REBELS IN DISGUISE
Mexican Uprisings Incited by Agents Dressed as Mis-
 sionaries.
GOVERNMENT CATCHES FEM
Supposed Baptlsts Put Through Sweating Process Make
 Confession.

Mexico City, July 15,--The recent uprising in the northern part of Mex leo were melted by two Mexican agents of the revolutionary juntas In the United States who travelled dis- gulsed as Baptist ministers or mission aries. These men, Eulallo Trevino and Cosme Pena, were recently cap- tured at the town of Vanegas in the state of San Luis Potosi. They were brought to this city and 1oid incom- municado by the authorities. who dai- ly submitted them to a sweating pros cess. By means of some of the docu- ments captured, a confession was fln- ally forced from the men.
 According to the admissions In the dispositions taken, Eulalio Treylno was president of a Mexican revolu- tionary club In San Antonio, Texas which was subsidiary to the junta at St Louis, Mo. He came 10 Mexico under the name of Leopoldo villareal and worked his way among the sym pathizers of the juntas in the north ern part of Mexico in the guise of a Baptist minister
 He was accompanied by Cosme Pena, another of the party and both were passing as preachers and hold ing meetings before small congreg ga- tions in the state of Coahuila and San Luis Potosi After these meetings love feats were held, In which only the elect remained, so as to keep the authorities blind as to their real pur- poses. Trevino and Cosme Pena were in direct communication with Magon the leader. who Is now in the United States, and from time to time sent him remittances from collections made. Judge Perez de Leon. how. ever. has brought out confessions from them that a portion of theil collections were fraudulently applied to their own use, and that they were using their connection with Magon tC assist themselves In robbery.
 Another important find was the key which Trevino had had In his pos. session to secret code believed tr be that which Magon uses m commun ication with his Mexican following Other documents have been found the nature of which will not be made public. but the information contained therein will be made use If largcl! when Mexico appeals 10 the United States for extradition of he partici pants in the recent raids In Coahulc and for the punishment of those class l .I

RAILWAYS DISAGREE
Officials Not in Accord on the Immediate Raise of
 Freight Rates.
HARTMAN IN FAVOR OF IT
Railroad Presidents Meet ln New York Soon to Discuss Ten Per
 Cent. Increase.

New York, July 15.--Contrary to the prevailing belief, difference ot opin- ion exists among the officers of Eastern railroads over the proposed increase In freight rates. t Is agreed that In many cases reldjustment of rates Is roceseary, but a number Of prominent railway men, including officers of the Reading, the Lackawanna and the Le- high Valley, are opposed to making any increase at this time.
 Among the roads that favor the ir. crease are the New York Central, the Erie, the Baltimore and Ohio, the Pennsylvania and the Delaware and Hudson.
 IL ls a matter of common knowledge in railway circles that E. H. Hartman president of the Union Pacific has talk en prominent part in the movement to increase rates. Harrlman's Interest in the freight rate situation of the Eastern roads lies in his persona, large holdings of Erie and Delaware and Hudson securities, and in the Union Pacinc's ownership of s39,5iO0OO. Balti- more and Ohio, ani $li,2s5,0O0 New York stocks These shares were &C., qulred by the Union Pacific in the course of the bull market of 1906.
 Early next month presidents of all of the Eastern roads will hold meet ing in this city to take up again the question of a general increase of 10 per cent. in freight rates. Whether the difference of opinion now existing will | be adjusted before that time, Is a mat | ter of much inetrest in railway and fln- ancial circles To make the proposed increase effective, 1t is absolutely ne- cessary to have all of the roads act to- gethr.
 In Wall street to-day the proposed l increase in freight rates was the chief | subject of discussion Those who op- posed each action at this lime pointed out that the Steel corporation fought a reduction in prices un;il business dragged on the bottom Then prices were cut 10 per cent. and business be- gan to pick up. The iron people, lt was pointed out, made reduction of 3S per cent. in prices some months ago, while the price of copper metal was reduced from 26 cents a pound to F 1-2 cents, because consumers de- cined to buy at the higher prices.
 At the close of 1907, when the New York banks showed a heavy deficit sixty and nlnety-day loans were quot. ed at from 1-2 per cent. to F pei cent To-day, when the surplus TO. serve is the largest since 1894, and the supply of idle capital the largest on record, sixty and ninety-day loan; can be had for from 10 2 IA pei cent.
 Since last October two 10 per cent reductions have been made in ths price of cotton goods. Similar reduc. tlons were made in other branches oi trade to attract business

PACIFIC GERMAN AIMS
Prince Uon BueIosC's Viezcs ON Reld-
tions uith ENGLAND.

London, Sept 14--'The Standard" this morn
ing prints a long interview with Prince Won
Bdlow, the German Chancellor at Norderney.
It deals mainly with the relations between Great
Britain and Germany and with Prince Won
Buiow's opinions several anti-German eru-
cles which recently have appeared in British
periodicals.
With reference to British epprehensions in the
matter OF German naval aggression the Chan
cellor thinks that it would be more natural and
excusabe If the Germans were apprehensive Of
being attacked. pointing out that Great Britain
has not been invaded since the time of William
the Conqueror Continuing Prince Won Bulow
says:
l can assure you that nobody Of any sense or
influence in Germany dreams Of picking quar-
insane idea as that of invading England. But
for us Germans there are far more tangible rea-
sons for apprehension through exposed geo
graphical position, let alone our dark historical
background
So far as the idea of Germanvss power being
a menace to other countries IS concerned. Ger
many you well know, is only one of the great
powers which has waged war during the last
thirty seven years
The Chancellor discussed a great variety OF
subjects relating 70 European politics. but main
ly of academic interest. He. however, ridiculed
the notion that Germany aiming to attain
the greatest naval power of the world, or was
likely within a couple of years to challenge
British naval superiority.
