Of course, mob violence is simply one form of anarchy;.and anarchy is now, as it always will be, the handmaiden and forerunner of tyranny. “I feel that you have not-only reflected honor unto the State which for its good fort has you as its chief executive, bu the whole nation. It is incum- t upon every man throughout this country not only to hold up your hands course you have been following, but to show his realization that the mat- ter is one of vital concern to us all. GROWTH OF LYNCHING. “All men must feel the gravest alarm over the growth of lynehing in this coun- pecially over the pecullarly in the so oft aken by mob vio- n colored men are the victims, | which occasions the mob seems to I most welght not on the crime, but on the color of the criminal. In a portion of these | ases the man lynched has been guilty of a crime terrible, tion, a crime so horrible that as himself is concerned he has forfeited the right to any kind of sympathy! whatso- ever. “The feeling of all good citizens that such a hideous crime shall not be hideous. 1y pu hed by mob violence is due not in he least to sympathy for the criminal, but to a very lively sense of the train of readful consequences which follow the taken by Fuman vengeance for an inhuman wrong. In such cases, moreover, it is well to re- member that the criminal not merely sins gainst humanity in unpardonable fash- fon, but sins particularly against his own does them a wrong far greater ny white man can possibly do Therefore in such cases the col- sple throughout the land should in every possible way show thelir belief that - them they, more than all others in the com- | munity, are horrified at the commission of such crime and are peculiarly con- 1 taking every possible measure prevent its recurrence and to bring the criminal to immediate justice. The slight. lack of vigor, either in denunciation of the crime or in bringing the criminal to Jjustice, is itself unpardonable. LAW SHOULD BE SWIFT. “Moreover, every effort should be made of justice in the case of such an awful crime, but it cannot be necessary in order | to accomplish this to deprive any citizen | of the fundamental rights to be heard in his own defense which are so dear to us and which lie at the root of our liberty. It certainly ought to be possible by th | proper administration of the laws to se- cure swift vengeance upon the criminal, | and the immediate efforts of all legisla- tors, Judges and citizens should be ad- dressed to securing such reforms in our legal procedure as to leave no vestige of excuse for those misguided men who un- dertake to reap vengeance through vio- lent methods. “Men who have been guilty of a crime like rape or murder should be visited with swift and certain punishment and the just effort made by the courts to protect them in their rights should under no circum- stances be perverted into permitting any mere technicality to avert or delay thelr punishment. - The substantial rights of the prisoner to a fair trial must, of course, be guaranteed, as you have so justly in- sisted. That they should be made subject to this guarantee the law must work swiftly and surely and all the agents of the law should realize the wrong they do when they permit justice to be delayed or thwarted for technical or insufficient reasons.

Boris Saraffof, the head and front of the movement, is with the insurgents in Macedonia. His representatives here be- | lieved that the desired results would be | gained through the present movement. | “The object of the present rising,” said the Macedonian committee, “is to win re- form which will assure the Christian peo- ple of Macedonia security for their lives and property and the right to participate in the administration of the country. “The present revolutionary organization | came into exletence nine years ago, when the persecution of the Bulgarian popula- tion of Macedonla became flagrant.

The Bulgarian Ministry is closely watch- ing the situation in Macedonia and has decided to increase the frontier forces. Orders have been telegraphed to the fron- | tier authorities to redouble their vigilance | | and prevent all unauthorized persons, as well as insurgent bands, crossing the Turkish frontier. ¢ The Foreign Minister has informed the representatives of the powers that the Government will use its utmost endeavors to quell all unrest in Bulgaria occasioned by the events in Macedonia, but the pow. ers must do their part to take the neces- sary steps to induce the Porte to stop the persecution of the innocent and the em- ployment of Bashi-Bazouks in suppress. ing the revolution. The massacre likely to follow the letting loose of the Bashi. Bazouks, added the Minister, is likely to precipitate the movement in Bulgaria in favor of the revolution and thus force the hand of the Government. e Ordered Wholesale Arrests.

As Cardinal Macchi, the dean of the Cardinal deacons, placed the triple crown on the head of the venerable Pontiff the threng of 70,000 persons gathered within the cathedral burst into unrestrained ac- clamations, the choir Intoned a hymn of triumph and the bells of Rome rang out a joyful peal. - It is fifty-seven years since the Romans and Europeans assisted at such a function in St. Peter's. The great basilica, popularly supposed never to have been ' quite . filled, .was . overflowing . with humanity. - The papal-throne, a bewilder- ing mixture of gold, red and silver, was erected in front of the high altar. Contrary to custom on these ceremonial occasions, there were no galleries, so the basilica bore more of its' nofmal aspect. On the altar, which was'dressed in white, that reds fled to the hills and forced the hand of the inner revolutionary or- ganization. stood the famous silver-gold’ candlesticks and a magnificent crucifix. . All the avail- able standing space within the cathedral 4 was divided into sectlons by wooden bar- riers, which, to a certain extent, kep! the vast crowd in order. In the early hours after sunrise a thick fog hung over Rome and one bank of the Tiber could not be seen from the other, while from the Angelo bridge one seemed to look into a fathomless abyss instead of .the river. The effect : was especlally magnificent on entering the plazza of St. Peter's. At times Michael Angelo’s great dome disappeared completely from view, while at others it appeared through an overflowing mist. The morning wore on and the fog disappeared and the sun shone with all its intensity until it became unbearably hot, and-the stones, columns and statues seemed to radiate the heat on the thousands waiting to ~enter the church. At 6 o’clock in the morning the ringing of bells anncunced the imminent opening of the doors and a commotion at once be- gan among the crowd. But ten minutes had to elapse - before —the doors were opened, and each 'seemed a century to the waiting crowd which'for hours had been standing before: the closed portals. The | police and Itallan soldlers had a difficult task in maintaining order, as the crush- Pope Pius X Bestowing the Apostolic Benediction From the Throne. ing and fatigue had begun to tell on the patience of the people. MANY WOMEN FAINT IN-THE WILD RUSH TO ENTER BASILICA ‘When the doors were opened the inrush was terrific. Many who started from the bottom of the steps outside were lifted off their feet and carried Into the cathedral. It was a great human torrent ‘let loose, thousands of persons rushing, crushing and squeezing amid screams, protests, gesticulations and ' cries for help. . But | once in the cathedral there was no escap= and the compactness of the crowd proved to be the safety of those who were caught in it. Women fainted in comparatively large numbers, and even men were over- come by heat, but mo serious accidents were reported. Fortunately there were ‘very few children present. After their entrance the people had further long hours 'of walting, and it is computed that the majority were on their feet altogether ten hours before the ceremony, Those who had received special invita- tions, including the high ecclesiastics who were not participants in the procession, ' — the diplomats and the Roman aristocracy, had a reserved entrance through the sac- risty of St. Peter’s.” Prince Massimo ar- rived accompanied by his daughter-in- law, Princess Beatrice, the daughter of Don Carlos, and they were given prom- inent seats. Duke Robert of Parma was the only other member of the royal fam- fly to attend. Among the aristocracy there was a great mixture of thoss Roman nobles who remain faithful to the papacy and those adhering tg the Quiri- nal. - Sir- Thomas Esmonde, representing the Injsh, Parlimentary party, was re- ceived by two Knights of the Cape and Sword—one of these F. C. McNutt, an American—and conducted to the diplo- matic inclosure. Inside the Vatican palace there was no less movement and -bustle as the papal procession, composed of about 50 persons, all of whom had gathered early in the apostolic palace, was formed. The Pope seemed to be the only tran- quil one among the multitude. He Arose unusually early and took a stroll in the Vatican garden. Then he allowed himseif to be dressed by the Cardinals.
