ISrlef Speech,
Yarseln, Germany, Sopt. 10.—Tills
little village never before saw suell a
festival as began liero this morning,
Preparations bad been making fur days
to receive tbe people and Prince Ills-
niarck's admirers. WitU.daybreak vis
itors came from tbe surrounding dis
tricts by the score. They found tbe
streets already decorated Tvitli garlands,
flags and arches on the roads. Police
men, who had been gathered from
Stolpe, Costlla and other ' near by
po.nts, cleared the approaches to the
castle so as to leave free way for tne
delegation.
Tbo Prince and Princess Bismarck
rose at S) o'clock. Only members of tbo
family circle were rft breakfast, among
them Count William Bismarck, bis sis
ter, the Countess Rantzau, and Dr.
Schweuniuger, who came to the castle
last evening so as to be with the prince
during the excitement of the reception.
Tlio arrangements had been made so
carefully that all the accommodations
of the castle and park were taxed to
the last point. Special trains left 1 Po
sen, Gnescn and Itavltch at 10 o'clock
Inst evening. At Schneldemuehle they
were joined to tbe trains from'other
points. The great line of cars, all
packed to tbe last bit of standing room,
was divided into two sections and rau
thus to Vursein about half an hour
■ apart.
The first train readied Uammer-
mueble at 11:25 a. m.; the other one
Just before noon. Tents for their re
ception had been erected und tbe tables
for luncheon were spread before 11
o'clock.
The young men walked from tbe rail
way station, to the castle. The older
men were carried in the prince's car
riages, in vehicles used at his factories,
and til whatever else had wheels anil
.something to sit on. The procession
was marshalled * byilaj." V6o -Tied*
maun, who divided it into three battai
lous. At a farm bouse near the station
every battalion baited and bad grog,
coffee and sausages served by men from
the prince’s estate. After tills .refresh
ment tlie procession was reorganized.
Me count then showed that 2,500 men
wero present nnd eager to take part in
the march past the castle. Maj. von
Tiedemanu ordered a halt again when
tlie head of the column arrived at the
platform which wf, erected yesterday
in front of the o' lie entrance. Dele
gates hastily bro; - ranks and, crowding
forward, gather! (in a big semicircle
to utvalt tbo p( ace’s coming.
Prince Bismo ck bad already been on
tlie veranda. He found to tlie lighl
and left of the door several tables,
where sat, elbow to elbow; the repre
sentatives of all the largo journals in
North Germany.
“I am afraid you will find this
rather poor affair,” be said, after ex
changing greetings. “I am feeling
rather fatigued and fear I cannot givo
you much for your papers. I can tell
you that I hope none of you will ever
know the plague of lumbago such ns I
contracted at my work.”
Lieut. Fischer, ono of the originators
of tlie demonstration, replied: “Wo
have dono very well, your grace."
Bismarck seemed hardly to bear. him.
He looked over the row of reporters,
clasped his hands behind his back and
said, with a suggestion of sadness:
“And all theso gentlemen have sacri
ficed themselves for two nights to como
and seo what is but a ruin.”
"Dut wihat Is more." Lieutenant Fis
cher answered, “coralderintr that your
grace sacrificed so many nigt.tu for the
benefit of the fatherland.”
"Those days are over," said Bismarck
with a slight gesture. “They will not
come again. Nt>w 1 must go indoors
and stay there until the procession ar
rives."
lA reporter asked after the prince's
health.
"It is hard to say.” answered Bis
marck. "lust how I do feel. I do not
know whether my lumbago is worse
when I sit t>r when I walk."
As he turned to -the door he noticed
on one of the -Dress tables a velve t and
sliver ibound volume. He opened it, dis
closing the text of sn illuminated ad
dress. but quickly closed It, with the
words: "I must not Deep into toe se
crets In store for me.”
Dc. Schwemiinger. who bad been
beckoning to the prince for a moment
or more, at last caught his eye and in
duced him to go to the house. After
ward tbe dbetor explained to a reporter
that he feared for the mines on account
of the lumbago. The prince’s genwul
health -was good, the doctor said, and
would carry him thrugh many more
years.
It waa about 10:50 when the bands
were heard coming with the procession
from the village. After the delegates
h.i'd gathered around the platform the
choir started “The Watch on the
Rhein.” Nearly 3.000 voices responded.
The last strain of the grand chorus had
hardly re-echoed from the castle when
t-he old chancellor came forward. A sea
of hats, handkerchiefs and flags swept
Instantly over the heads of the crowd
and tor several minutes everybody
cheered like mad. As the cheering
ceased JCij. von Tledemum stepped on
the platform and proposed a final cheer
with some sentiment. K was lost In
the tumrjH of enSiuaiasm. Councillor
. Duenematm read the address. He said:
“Thousands of men of all classes have

Idea, embodied hv Prince Blanurck’a
work.” (Cheere).
The m.ienner choir chanted RJIail,
Bismarck” after the add res*, and amid
repealed -dheers ©Ismarck stepped for
ward 'to reply. He e-poke fortydive min
utes.
Prince Bismarck in the course of hie
speech declared that Poland was more
Indigene able to Germany; that even Al*
fiace-Loraine and. Germany -would oplll
her If'St drop of, Iblbod and spend her
Ipot coin In defending It. The friendly
policy might pacify more of the Poles,
but at would not pacify the Polish lord
ly population. It ie the (Polish nobility
and clergy that agitate, nnd fan the
flame of present (hatred. It was through
moderation only, he said that the union
of the various tribes hud been achieved,
but 47.000.000 of Germane would never
consent t*o be ruled over by 2,000.000
of Poles, and especially not in thie era
of majorities. With the Poles their own
nwttaMWty takes precedence In confee-
sion. but -with a vast irfajority of the
Germans the reveres is the* caae.
"I am nbt able to understand If coy
person in high place encourages the as
pirations of the Poles. Germany'* op-
oonents are -the Polish nobility and the
Pofllsh clemy. E>ven the Gei'mwvspeak-
ing clergy aTe against the empire. Our
wives must enteT’the list for German
culture.”
After the ex-chancellor had finished
h lP speech ithe delegatee presented him
with various products of Varseln, such
as wine, hops, i*ug-ar, fleur, etc.
n Dr ' K * ehl then read an address to
Prince Bismarck, which was followed
by the ainigi-ng of “Deutsche Frauen,
Deutsche Prauen.”
At the end of the singing Prince Bis
marck made the round of the gathering
Indulging for a demonstration of whole
sale handshaking. He conversed for
some time with the members of the
committee and othens of the deputa
tion, and the reception ended with the
choral singing bf "icih Hutoe Mich Erge-
ben MU Herz Und Hand.”
The procession re-formed at 5:30 and
returned to Hammermauhle. The weath
er had been fine throughout tihe day.
but (became threatening at the c-lcee of
■the reception and rain began falling as
the procession marched toward Ham-

September 2:
On August 10 Japanese scouts were
suddenly attacked nt Chmvn by the

A POLITICAL TESTAMENT.
London, Sept. 16.—The political testa
ment at the late Count at Paris was
made public today. The document,
which is very brief. Is dated Stowe
House, July 21, 1894, and says:
"As I had no knowledge of my future,
Liwbutd not attempt to trace n line of
conduct for my son. Feeling with per
fect confidence that -he will always up-
holld the traditions of our house, which
are love fojjjjnnce anil for the faithful
discharge Of all the duties incumbent
upon 5ilm. I hope that France will soon
be reunited and all parties find n basis
of coptmon agreement under the tradi
tional monarchy. If I went to Frohna-
dorf -in 1873 It was to show my respect
for.the hereditary principle. Slneo-ihon
I have tried to deserve -the confidence
at my_ parity toy fighting, although in
eglte. zealously for France.”
The document concludes by express,
ing his trust that God lias not aban
doned France, to whom he gave Saint
Louis and Joan D'Arc. He felt certain
that France will return to her old re
ligion nnd that meanwhile he could
only hope for tlio unity of all existing
parties. Ho was sttro that Ills friends
would understand that tills was a nec
essary condition, tho precedent to nil
types of manhood.

ot the moat fiendish atid brutal crimes
In the history of south Georgia, wja

Dave Goosby, a burly black brute, rav
ished in a most brutal way nnd after
wards cut tbe throat of Susan, the 12-
yoar-old daughter of-Martln Kutler, a
white man living about seven miles
west of here. The girl had been to the
spring, some 200 yards from the house,
for waiter, when the black brute seized
her, aud, after accomplishing his pur
pose, held the half dead (£lrl with erne
hand, took his knife out of his pocket
with the oilier hand, opened It With his

Thinking tha-t the girl -nits dtud, he
then went home.

that this officer is to lose his Heart.

AMATEUR ATHLETIC UNION.

Travel’s Island” N. T-, Bept. 10.-A
reoro thoroughly interesting mid enjoy

ateur Athletic Union proved yesterday,
it would bo n difficult matter to 11ml.
They were ot more Importance fluff)
any set of games that have been played
in this country during tlie season, as
they decided tlie championships of the
year. Furthermore, tlio competitors
were made lip ut the very cream of the
country in ttio athletic lino and they
clearly demonstrated this fact ou sev
eral occasions by not only lowering tlie
American records but tho English rec
ords ns well.
A couple of thousand of people wero
assembled at Travers Island today to
sec tho games, but that was merely a
bundful compared with tlie numenso
throng which assembled ut tho same
place a few months ago to seo the an
imal spring games of tlio New York
Athletic Club. It may be years before
so many records will be broken ugitlu
