  We present the results of charged particle fluctuations measurements in Au +
Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=130$ GeV using the STAR detector. Dynamical
fluctuations measurements are presented for inclusive charged particle
multiplicities as well as for identified charged pions, kaons, and protons. The
net charge dynamical fluctuations are found to be large and negative providing
clear evidence that positive and negative charged particle production is
correlated within the pseudorapidity range investigated. Correlations are
smaller than expected based on model-dependent predictions for a resonance gas
or a quark gluon gas which undergoes fast hadronization and freeze-out.
Qualitative agreement is found with comparable scaled p+p measurements and a
HIJING model calculation based on independent particle collisions, although a
small deviation from the 1/N scaling dependence expected from this model is
observed.
