MACON, GA., MONDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 17, 1891. HONOR BISMARCK IN HIS OLD AGE A Great Gathering of the Old Chan- l cellor's Admirers to Pay Their Respects. “THE WATCH ON THE RHINE" Was Stine by Thru Thom,nil Voice, and Cheer After Cheer Echoed lu the XlUls-Ulsmaeck Made * 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 KT’mte? 10 lwnor tSe man who J*S SLJft&y* «tnsny generations . «*•* see.

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- mermuehle. , BEHEADED FOUR JAfS.

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. THE DOSE WiAS FAIIAL.

Tlie local magistrate demand ed from tlie officer In charge of tho reg iment to surrender tho guilty soldiers, but this was refused, nnd one is not surprised, fur if the officer had dared to comply with any sueh demand ho would probably have Deen the next victim. There is a rumor to tlie effect that this officer is to lose his Heart.

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 at n championship meeting. Tlio record smashing began nt tho first event of the day, when tlio woraVs swimming record at 100 yards was brokuu by A. T, Kennedy of Philadel phia.
