The natives OF mixed blood adopted
the name, but 1t never was conceded TO
them. The view is common in some
parts of the United States, but it is
an one, that the name OF
creole implies some admixture greater
or less of African blood. A Cuban is a
native or ihhabitant of Cuba, usually
of Spanish descent, but not at all neces-
sarily of mixed blood.-Ed.l

Great RELIGIOUS Parade.

Boston, Special.-What was prob
ably the greatest parade of reli-
gious character in the history of New
England brought to a close Sunday
the centenary celebration of the
founding Of the Roman Catholic Do
cese of Boston which was begun on
Wednesday last. 1t is estimated that
fully 10000 men representing the
Holy Name Societies of the Roman
Catholic churches in the five counties
which constitute the Diocese, with
over 15O priests, participated, march
ing to the music of 100 bands. Thous-
ands of spectators filled every point
of vantage along the line of march.
Passing before the arch-Episcopal
residence on Bay State road, the
parade was reviewed by Cardinal
Gibbons and Archbishop William H.
O'Connell, together with a number of
visiting prelates, from a reviewing
stand. The day was begun with

leging that they were members of a

held throughout many counties.
The contention of the plaintiff is
that all persons who are members of
the night riders organization are
bound by the acts of the several
night riders, all being alike respon-
sible for the conduct and actions of
the others, done in furtherance Of
the general object of the conspiracy
which was to force all independent
raisers and handlers of dark tobacco
to place their tobacco in the pool
controlled by the Dark Tobacco Asso-

presence of Sheriff Haines, Judge
Harris and Mayor Cleveland DON
aldson, "Tid'' Burton, the Night
Rider arrested at samburg, made
full confession in the Lake County
Jail here, and told remarkable
story of night rider depredatiors
near Reel Foot Lake. confessing to
the part he played in the outrages
which reached a elimination in the
putting to death of Capt. Quentin
Rankin, an attorney of Trenton,
Tenn, on the banks of Reel Foot
Lake week ago, and duplicating
men prominent in this part of the
State
Of the persons who he declared
had part in the killing of Capt.
Rankin more than half are now in
custody at Camp Memo. the military
base near Saplbure. The confession
was made at the Tiptonville Jail to
Sheriff Haines, Judge Harris, owner
Of a large tract of land in the Reel
Foot Lake region, who has suffered
much at the hands of the riders and
Mayor Cleveland Donelson, of Tip
tonvillc.
The confession was made freely
and voluntarily and apparently with
out a qualm Of conscience he gibly
unfolded his story.
While Burton denies that he was
present when Capt. Rankin was put
to death, he. admits that it was
through his influence that the band
congregated and took the attorney
while he was sta-ing at the hotel
at Walnut Leg.
According to Burton's confession
Tom and Garrett johnson, under ar
rest, and VIM. Watson, under bond
in connection with another raid, were
the leaders cf the band.
Burton declares that the first part
he PLAYED as member of the night
rider band was when he aided in the
burning Of a fish wharf at Samburg.
Several weeks later he was one of
several that crossed the county line
from, the Reel Foot Lake region into
the adjoining county of Lake and

Coming to the killing of Capt. Ran

before the lynching he went to Wal

Carpenter, al attorney of Union
City. at whose solicitation Rankin
and Judge R. z. Taylor, associated
in the West Tennessee Company,
owners of the land on which the
lake is situated, came to the lake. 1t
was stated that the visit Of the two
attorneys was to discuss a timber
deal with Carpenter. After this con-
versation Burton says he commune
Gated with night rider leaders and
told of the intended visit of the rep
resentatives of the land company.
On the following night he saw the
two attorneys at supper at the Wal

jury is investil ating the night-rider
depredations in this section which
eliminated recently in the murder of
Captain Quentin Rankin. The Gov
trnor said:
= +. etThe proof which has thus far de-
yeloped is positive as 10 the guilt of
some of the men under arrest and i'm
plicates many others. This will all
be presented TO the court at the pro-
per time and long step has been
taken to discover and suppress law
lessness in this region. Conditions
have been extremely bad, the night
riders going from one lawless act to
another until the elimination came
with the murder Of Captain Rankin
and the attempted murder of Colonel
Taylor. We know who fired the shot
and who put the rope around Ran
kin's neck The number of men ac-
tually at the killing was probably not
more than ten, while some stood
guard and others held the horses. The
whole number engaged in the under
taking did not exceed thirty-fve.
The inquiry will be further prosecut-
ed and the State will have ample evil
dence to convict"

RAMPANT RUSSIANS
Object TO Abiding By Decision
of the Powers
OFFICIAL POSITION DIFFERENT
Parliamentary Leaders Say that the
Idea of an international Congress
Will Be Abandcned-Foreign Of
fee Says Negotiations Are in
Progress.

st. Petersburg, By Cable.-Interest
in the Balkan situation is centered in
the positive statement of several
parliamentary leaders that Russia
has determined to drop the idea of
the proposed international congress
and will refuse to recognize the an
nexation by Austro-Hungary of Bos-
mia and Herzegovina.
This information, although pur-
porting to be from official sources is
not entirely exact. Russia has finally
committed herself to the principle
that the question of the annexation
of the provinces may be discussed in
a conference of the powers, and
Austria will permit the status of
Herzegovina to be included in the
programme, but only on condition
that the delegates will refrain from
questioning her action, and content
themselves with registering the abro-
cation of the article referring to this
matter in the Berlin treaty.
The Foreign Office states that the
negotiations between Russia, Austria
Hungary and other powers on this
question are still in progress and con-
siders that an acceptable formula for
submission to the congress may
ultimately be found. 1t is difficulty,
however, to foresee how satisfactory
agreement may be reached without
one side or the other withdrawing
its contention.
