NINETY MEN ARE IN PRISON.
Officials Declare That the Most Im
portant of the Marandera' Baad Arc
Now Under Guard Mra. Rassaksr,
Mother of Three Accused Bora. Ie
Dead of Baart Failure.
Union City. Tenn. (Special).
That at leaat fix night rldera will
hang for the killing of Captain nan
kin at Reel Foot Lake Is the belief
at Hamburg, where Oovernor Pat
tereon Is In charge of the troops who
are hunting down the members of
the band.
Corroboration of the confession
made by "Tld" Burton at Tlpton
vllle. Is said to hare been obtained
from Frank. Ferrlncr, another alleg
ed member of the band which killed
Rankin, and as a result of bis story
Oarrett and Tom Johnson, and four
other prisoners are being hold In
solitary confinement, while ovory
prisoner made by the scouting par
ties of troops Is being specially In
terrogated before being horded Into
the "bull pen."
Oovernor Patterson Is living ihe
life of a simple trooper In the camp
at Hamburg. He sleeps and eats
with the officers and Is determined
to remain on the Bcene until the las'
actor In the Runkln murder Is hunt
ed down.
"We are getting some mighty
strong evidence," he sold. "I am
confident we will capturo and pun
ish the members of this marauding
band."
In addition to the confession of
Burton and Ferrlner, much evidence
of the organization and activities of
the night riders has been given by
10 men examined by the grand Jury.
There are now more than 90 pris
oners held at Camp Nemo. Tho pris
oners are complaining little, being
apparently too much frightened to
aay anything. In one tent 3 4 were
placed together.
It Is practically certain that the
most Important night riders are now
under guard, and while tho soldiers
do not expect to go home for tome
time, It Is generally supposed that
tho greater portion of the work has
been accomplished. A heavy guard
Is watching every movement of the
suspects and they are not allowed
to talk to their friend except when
a guard Is present to hear their con
versation. A number of women have
visited them bringing baskets of
cakes and other eatables.
Captain Zopfl, of Nashville, with a
email squad of men, went to the
home of "Bob" Haffman and forced
him to get out of bed and accom
pany them to the camp. He Is be
lieved to be a prisoner of Importanco.
Editor James Bryce. of the Trov
News-Banner, who was brought in

A report has reached here thnt
James Dunn, night watchman at tho
Obion Cooperage Company, was

whom he refused permission to
sleep In the bollerroom. Whether
they were night riders Is not known.
P. C. Ward, proprietor of tho hotel
at Walnut Log, was given his liber
ty. Nothing Important was secured
from him.
A Tlptonvillo (Tenn.) dispatch
says that Tld Burton, confessed night
rider, who disclosed the secrets of

Particular -Ills Account of What He
Really Said.

special to the Standard from Kalle-
poll say that tho Atlantic fleot was
sent to Japan to the request of the
Emperor to overawe Mu(auhltos sub
ject, was the statement made by
United States Senator Joaeph M.
Dixon In an address at Kallspell.
Mr. Dixon said It was known at
Washington long before the fleet
started on its spectacular voyage
around tne world that the WntlBMBt
of many of the people- of Japan was
nicely to bring on war. This senti
ment was not shared by the ruler
and hi councillors, but was so great
they could make no headway against
it.
Then It was that the Emperor de
cided to ask President Roosevelt to
assist him in clearing the situation
by sending a large nnd Imposing fleet
to strike torror to the hearte of those
Japanese subjects who Insisted on
war with a power of whose Immense
resources they knew nothing. It
was to bp an object lesson.

cated with, and later the plan was
approved, and the great fleet prepar
ed for its trip around the world.

tor, wa successful, evon before our

empire.

Senator Joseph M. Dixon after read
ing a dispatch from Anaconda re
garding speech In Kallspell and his
allusion to the trip of the American
fleet to Japan, said that the dispatch
was absolutely untrue in almost ev
ery particular.
Senator Dixon said that In hi
Kallspell speech he alluded to tho
trip of the American fleet as an ob
ject lesson to the world, and par
ticularly to that portion of tho Jap
anese population desiring war, but
that at no time did he mention
President Roosevelt, the Mikado,
the Japanese government or any
other government, or the representa
tive of any government, as having
made any sugegstlons In regard to
the desirability of the fleet's visiting
Japan to cool off those Japanese
who wanted war.

the Intolerable state of affairs which
It has created by the decree of May
14.
"It Is only this revocation which
can confirm, as an accomplished fact,
the assurance from your excellency
that the personal fault committed by
the minister-resident (M. DeReus)
has not altered the good relations
so happily existing between the two
nations, and that Venezuela also de
sires to maintain them on the most
amicable basis."

CONFESSES ALL
"Ted' Burton
Tells a
Story.
Remarkable
Tlptonvllle, Tenn. (Special).
"Ted" Burton, self-confessed Night
Rider, told a remarkable stoiy of
Night Rider depredations, near Reel
Foot Lake, confessing to the port
he played in the outrages which
reached a culmination in the put
ting to death of Captain Qulntcn
Rankin, an attorney of Trenton,
Teun., on the banks of the lake a
week ago, and implicating men prom
inent In this part of the State.
Of the persons who, he declares,

Reel Foot Lake region, who has suf
fered much at the hands of the raid

put to death, he admits that It was
through Information given by him
that the band congregated and took
the attorney while he was staying
at the hotel at Walnut Log.
According to Burton's confession,

"Our business Is Improving right
along, but not rapidly," said a direc
tor of the Pennsylvania Steel Com
pany. Standard Oil, according to Mr.
Rockefeller, sells over half Its pro
duct abroad and brings $1,000,000
of gold Into the United States evevv
week.
Gross earnings of the International
Paper Company last fiscal year were
$20,716,304, compared with $21.
84 1,486 In 1007. Net profits wore
$2,838,170, showing a decrease of
$3,300.
It Is a curious thing that United
States Steel common never got at
high In the big bull market of 1902
aa It had been In the early part af
1901, shortly after the trust was
formed, nor did it get nearer than R
points In i : of Its hlgh-watr
mark, and so far In this bull move
ment It has got no nearer than 7
points of the highest recorded price
of 66, which was reached In 1801.
A despatoh from London said that
larger orders had Just been placed
there for copper metal than had been
given Tor an entire year.
The "iron Trade Review" will say
today: "Some contracting, especial,
ly for pig Iron, has undoubtedly been
done In anticipation of the favorable
outcome of the presidential election,
but there Is a strong conservative
fooling that It is not wise to antici
pate a decided Improvement In miri
ness next moath. Very heavy struc
tural business I pending, and proJ.
ably 160,000 tona will be let In the
early futuru."

Bradstreet's says:
Retail trade still reflects the In
fluence of warm weather and the ap
proach of election breeds conserva
tism aa regards heavy buying and
the projection of new enterprises.
However, there is moro doing and
more confident buying of raw ma
terial by manufacturers, who appar
ently forecast a change for the bet
ter In the latter part of this year
or the early part of next. The large
movoment of wheat to market Is re
sponsible for the optimistic tenor of
reports from distributive centers In
the Northwest. Effects of the drouth
are shown In almost total suspension
of steamboat traffic on the Ohio Riv
er and It tributaries, the holding up
of large quantities of coal along that
stream, the prevalence of destructive
forest Are, the low stage of water
supplies. Reports as to collections
vary, being best In the Northwest
and poorest at the South.
The situation In textile lines Is In
teresting, and not without encourage
ment. While Joblng trade Is con
fined largely to small Immediate ship
ment or filllng-ln orders, there la
fair activity in the Chicago district
and farther West, whore the break
ing of the drouth has helped senti
ment. In the cotton goods line one
feature early was a reduction In
shirting prints, but later an enlarged
demand was reported for print
cloths at Fall River, and prices ad
vanced H to H cent. Confident buy
ing by a large printing Interest IB
tho reported basis for the strength
in domand and prices.

to cairy off the palm.
"Italy is turning out the most
muslcluus, and has always turned out
the most," he cried.
"Ach, Gott!" exclaimed a German
