Berlin, Sept. 23.—Apparently with a
desire to associate tlic opening /if Abe
. relchstag In tlio new and splendid par
liamentary building In Lelpziger-Strasso
with the imperial bouse, the kaiser lias
ordered that the ceremonies begin on
November 21, the anniversary of the
birth of hts’ mother, tire, ejc-Kuipress
Frederick. The builders of the cdilleo
protest against this, declaring that It
will bo impossible to complete the In
side decoration and other work by the
date mentioned. Part of the work ,8
being done by contract and the nlen
are working night aud day endeavor
ing to finish tbetr work In the time al
lotted to them.
It is the expectation of a majority
of the high officials of the empire thnt
the coming session of the relclistag will
be dull, and that the government's pro
posals Increasing the paval estimates
will lie accepted by the chamber with
out much opposition. The bills for this
purpose are the only ones that have yet
been submitted to . the buudesmth.
There will be a great deal of insurance
legislation and bills will be Introduced
• regulating emigration, reforming the
code of criminal procedure and dealing
with the question of the taxation of
tobacco. The last named measure Is
the only one over which there is likely
to be any party contention. The budget
is expected to show that even after the
expenditures under the increased na-
- vat estimates the total inereose will ltd
very small. ,
The King of Saxony, Prince Itegent
Luitpold of Bavaria, the King of Wur-
temberg and every uead of the federal
government will attend the opening of
the session In the new building, but tile
urgent Invitations of the emperor to
Emperor Fiuitcls Joseph of Austria,
King Humbert of Italy, the Prineo <u
Wales and several others have declined
for various reasons.
The resolutions which’ will lid ’ sub
mitted to the coming Socialist congress
will show that tile attcutiou of that
party Is again, occupied with the ques
tion of religion as next in importance
to that of property. One of the resolu
tions already prepared affirms that the
Socialists have nothing at fill to do
with religion, and mi amendment has
been prepared declaring that socialism
means the negation of all religion. In
regard to the property, n resolution will
bo Introduced declaring that the own
ership of property Is tnoft and on
amendment to this resolution will bo
offered demanding the nbolltlujnj ot pri
vate ownership of land. This demand,
however, Is aimed only at the big land
owners, a clnuso In' the amendment de
claring that small land holders might
not to bo disturbed. Tlio ground of
this resolution Is the contention that
the large land owners are keeping the
ground out of the hands of those who
have tho strongest right to It and are
therefore acting In opposition to tho
public welfare. The executive cora-
mlttco iu Berlin Is disinclined, as be
fore, to discuss the question of religion
aud will pcrliaps make no uuthorltntlvo
deliverance on this subject.
Neither- socialism, anarchism or any
other “Ism” is liegiunlng so strongly to
perturb public opinion ns tho Polish
question. Suddenly the Poles seem to
have become unchained and tho Polish
nation is reviving. Prineo Bismarck's
speech at Varsem last Sunday lias
called attention to the movements of,
leaders In Prussian aud Austrian Po-'
land, distinctly po'uting out the facts
that there is in existence a concerted
ag 1 ration with the objtct of keeping
the Poles ns n untied race before the
world. The emperor a favorite, Baron
von Kosclclskl. whom the kalBer re
cently proinoicd to the Hcfrcnlimis, In
a speech on the occasion of tlio I-am-
berg fetes declared that Poland could
not be divided no matter bow she was
made to appear on tho.maps, aud thnt
she would always remain undivided.
"Separation,” bo said, "pains our
pearls, bnt It docs not destroy Polish
organization. We will always bo a na
tion of ouo blood, jour hearts healing
In unison."
This utterance, taken together with
the reception recently given a depura
tion of Poles by Emperor Francis Jo
seph and the declaration made n few
days ago by Dr. Werkle, the atunga-
rlan premier. -In regard to the historic
career of the Hungarian and Polish
cavalier, cruses the question td be
asked: ' . -
“What does it all meant”
The Frefraining- Zeltung recalls the
fact th.it the kaiser assented to the
nomination of a Pole as bishop of Po-
Sen and re-estsbllshed the Polish lan
guage and religious teachings In the
Polish schools, thereby making po.iee
with Rome through Cardinal L«do-
ebowskt.
Court gossip attributes the growth of
Polish Influence to the emperor's pla
tonic affection for the Baroness Kos-
clciskl. The action of the German and
Aurtrlan emperors, taken together, sug
gests the idea of a concerted policy to
the end of the revival of Polish nation
ality as a counterpoise to the pan-aa-
vlc movement.
-As the authorities of the Prussian
government ere nuking preparations to
celebrate the 330dth anniversary of the
birth of Gustav Adolphus of Sweden,
objection* ere being raised by the Cath-
oli-s through the medium of the col
umns of Germtuils.
Tbe»e protests are hosed on the
gre and 'hat the Swedes devested Ger-
m ny and did nothing to help her to
establish her unity. These articles
further declare that the movement Ip
supported by Protestants merely for po
ll tical reuerma.
The Vb-sslsehe Zeltung, in reply to the
Catholic protests, reports that no mat
ter what the reasons for the celebration
nisy be. It Is an indisputable fact that
Oustavua Adolphus enacted the rule of
a savior and secured the lilicrly of c.m-
ectence when there was the greatest
need of It.
The council of the relchsbank at its
last meeting favorably discussed the
proposal to- renew the advances upon
Russian securities.
Starting circles are greatly disgusted
«-t learning, on Friday last,'that the
Kivnch own. iu .if burses entered In the
Berlin’steeplechases, which are to be
run on October 4. have, with one ex
ception, withdrawn their entries. The
auestlbn was mooted In the clubs
whether a protest should not be sent
to Part*, but tt was finally determined
In the negative. However, it ts well un-
demtood that no French sportsmen will
hereafter bo tolerated on any German
race course, even Including Baden-Ba
den. •
Dr. Ahtwart’s arrangement to pay the
costs of the libel trial which was de
cided against him baa been accepted.
The costs amounted to 11,200 inarko.
which the doctor offered to pay at the
rate of 3 marks (75 cents) a month,
claiming that he was unable to pay any
larger Installments. At this rate, pro
vided the payments are made regularly,
it will take 390 years tb liquidate the
debt.
Tiie new. trade mar law which goes
iato, effect October first resemoles the
English law governing trade murks. It
requires manufacturers to have their trade
marks registered at the patent oriic,?
and with the supreme court at Dclpsic;
but they are allowed four years r.ruce In
which to register, this extension being
made to suit the foreign trails.
The demonstration at Varseln today
was marred by the heavy rain widen fell
throughout most of the day. The roads
were hardly passable, but this did not de
ter the peopls of the vicinity from Fath
ering about tbs railway station at Ham-
meremuhlo to await the arrival of the
special trains. The ncrtlien delegations
from Damslg and Ething r.rrlved at Ham-
morsmuehte at 1:38 a. m. They were un
der tho command of Baron l-'ournier.
The southerners arrived at 10.-W a. m.,
accompanied by two military bands.
Councillor von Gerhich, who was in su
preme command, ranged the new urrlv.ils
under the best shelter to he found at
nammersmuchle and provided them with
ltmchfon at his own expense. All ot
the viands obtainable were procured and
there was plenty tor all. The utmost good
humor prevailed, despite the drenching,
the most of tne party had received. See
ing ho signs ef cessation of the storm,
Prince, Plrmorck telegraphed from vnr-
sein to the command: “Don't trouble your
selves to come to Varseln. -It will be
marching In the mud and rain, so I will
ccme and .meet you at Hnmntursmuehle.”
C'nunrtllor von vlerlitcb put the question
to the entlrec ommand; whether they
should stay at Uammersmuehtc or march
to Varsein. The great Mara of the vis!-
tors shouted: “Let us go to Varseln.”
Thev'had come to go there, they said,
and wanted to go. After a tew short
Speeches by members of -the committee.
It was decided that Varsein wps as sacred
resort for Germans, and that they must
go there. At this point, a great number
of ladles forming a separate battalion,
part of them marching and part occupying
harcest carts, formed a column and pro
ceeded toward Varseln.
Oh leaving HammersmueUle they gave
throe cheers for the kaiser. The rest of
tho procession followed. As the head ot
tho immense, procession marched into
the castle yard- at Far»)in the bands
were playing and the procession nlngirg,
“The Wathtem llheln.- As far us tiossh
-ble the yard had teen covered with boards
and tarpaulins, but they did not suffice
to keep off tne .-sin. Prior to the arrival
of the procession Prince Bismarck had
welcomed several members of the commit
tee. He deplored the state ot weather.
The ram temporality ceasing, tlio ex-chan
cellor expressed nope- that the ladles In
tho procession had not been harmed.
Princess Bismarck, he said, would take
race of them In the|r arrival. Ho referred
to the procession of the marching of the
Polish delegation last Sunday, and eald
it could pot be expected that It tould be
excelled on a lay like this. Referring
again to the weather, he expressed sor
row at the meagerness of tho shelter In
that vicinity, it would not have mat
tered, he said, If they were In a "Icmity
of a great city where lodgings could be
found, but it was absolutely Impossible to
find them in Varseln. About noon the pro
cession entered the yard with 800 ladles
in front, each carrying a bouquet. Prince
Blsnnrck ordered forms arranged, for the
ladles to sit on. whlis he ,wss speaking
and walked behind and around the ladles
to see that tlisy were comfortably seated.
The battalions formed in goo-1 order, each
under o standard chewing the district from
which they were deputed. The banners
were. Inscribed in a variety of mottoes,
such as -faithful,” from Eibing, end
“true," from Grandenx, etc.
As Prince Bismarck made bis appear
ance, preparatory to speaking, there was
a prolonged cheer of -holla," llaron Four,
nleck leading tho cheering. Then the
choral "Deutschland Obor Alles," was
rung if |d Baron Foumlcck presented the
ex-chancellor with an address, adding:
"You are our Ideal statesman. Our star
la still old Bismarck.”
There pas a cheer at this and the hand
played "Ich Bln Eln Preuss."
Prince Bismarck, before beginning his
speech in reply to the addrew, drank n
glass of brandy and soda. Then easting
tils eyes over the assemblage, said: "I
am greatly pleased with your visit, all
tlte more sa that the bad weather did not
deter you from coming. None of you
can longer hope, fear or expect anything
from me, yet here you are. What leads
us together Is tlio comlnon love for the
fatherland. (Cheers.) -ft Is a distinction
that . no state colleague ot mlna w no
Prussian minister ever experienced. 1
claim nothing except that I have doro
my .duty In the rervlce of a master with
whom I am hound la common faith to
ward the country.
"Within tho last eight days we have
heatd manifold expressions from friend
and too in regard to the demonstration
on the part of the Poles from Posen. I
am pleased to find satisfaction expressed
by journals, not ordinarily friendly to me,
yet though there is A broad national feel
ing concurring in ibis question sglnit
Polish assumption, the Poles ure dissat
isfied. 1 did not apeak too sharply of the
Polish nobility, especially In regard to
the proceedings at Lemberg, the Poles
seem naturally unable to refrain from
making known their ends and alms. In
thl3 respect they are unlike the social
Democrats who do not make known ttoelr
alms. The Poles mow what they went.
They want a Polish empire from llie Hal-
tie to the Black oea, but even the re
construction of the grand dukedom of
Poland Is imposilblo without a great Eu
ropean convulsion. It is an utopian
dream. If It eoull be achieved la would
bo a misfortune to us. Neighborship with
Russia Is sometimes uncomfortable, but
Polish neighborship would be unbearable.
1 would rather negotiate With the czar
than with aSchlaichter In Warsaw. Even
though a great Poland would be a pro
tection against a Russian Invasion.”
Continuing. Prince nismarcx said- -The
Polish army In 1831 was only brave, thanks
to the Grand Duke Constantine's drilling.
Privately. I would have enjoyed eeetog the
Poles beat the Russians. When Ihe Poles
were In need they were unable to unite,
and tt Is only in time of peace that they
have united against the German*. All

supposed murderer, of Forest Crowley
out at Westwood Park, nuking curtain

recognised, the uatect'v-.-s quickly lift
oil their Investigations Mul, hurrying
their prisoner buck, into tho their cur-
rlngo, turned buck totvitrd the c-ljr at
a run. • •
Chief Wright was^nftnid of trouble
with the Roswell people and would
take no chances. When tlio moil reached
the spot where tlio carriage used by tho
detectives had stood they wore greatly
excited. But for the promptness of tlio
detectives In getting the prisoner away
tlio murdered uinq's friends would cer
tainly have made fin attempt to avenge
him.
During tho excitement that followed
the flight of the detectives tlio Roswoll
party gave vent to their feelings In
very plain language.
“That fellow's hie Is. not worth n cop
per," exclaimed the murdered man’s
uncle. “There are a thousand men In
Cobb couuly ready to kill him if ho es
capes through the courts. We will not
do It with masks on our faces, either:
out openly."
Similar eipresslons cume from others.
One young man who had worked with
Crowley, pale with excitement, shook
Ills fist toward the Hiving carriage aud
wished only for a moment's sight of
tho prisoner, and then he would “tend'
to hint. , .
The polfco were aware that it number
of men from Roswoll had come to the
city this morning, but the trip to tlio
scene of tbo killing with tho prisoner
was so.secretly planned that tho first
they knew of the pretence of tho Ros
well party In tho neighborhood of West-
wood Turk was when the first of tlio
crowd appeared over tho ldll where the
murder was committed. It looked like
an ambush. Tho detectives had only
begun their examination, and hail to
go back again this afternoon, but this
time without the prisoner.
Meyers arrived in tho city nt 0
o’clock this morning in charge of Chief
of Police Connolly ami four nu-n, who
wore armed with Winchesters, prepared
to protect tho prisoner from tlio ex
pected attack at Austell. Sheriff Me-
Lane 0 f Cobb county also hail ten
armed deputies at Austell to prevent
mob violence to .Meyers. These pre
cautions prevented ahy attempt to In
tercept the train.
Meyers still ailoka to Us first state
ment, that ho was a tool lit tlio hands
of a man uamed Brown Allen, who Jind
him In Ids power on account of Ids
(Meyers) relations with Allen's sister.
Jones, Conley, and Drake, who arc
still under arrest, nru completely ex
onerated by Meyers, who says tho al
leged Brown Allen alone dhl tho actual
killing.
Meyers declared, that, ho had not left
tlio buggy when no drove Crowley out
to WeStWOOd Park, but today 11 wus
clearly proven that footprints leading
toward where the body was found were
tils. A pistol with blood stains on the
handle was also tak-'it from Movers'
pocket when arrested. It seems In
credible that an l.S-year-oId boy should
plan and execute such an atrocious
murder, but the evidnne-j strongly sun-
ports this theory. 1
Chief Connolly today received a let-
ter which may result la establishing
Meyers' connection with .another mur
der. He will give no details, but be
lieves tlio crime which has up to date
remained a mystery will ho fixed upon
MeyerS.
Ben Allen, who It Is thought may lie
tho man Brown Allan, was arrested la
Birmingham this afternoon. Hon Allen
Is known hero, but Brown Allen Is re
garded ns a myth. . *
Tlio police also had n woman, sup
posed to he the alleged Brown Allen's
mistress. In custody tills afternoon, but
later released hor, as- she proved to
know nothing of the man or the murder.

Tho story wns known in Brooklyn lust

published at that time. The frir.uils ol
Judge Gnynor say thnt Ills count: when

mul that lie deserves nothing Imt praise*

Is itlno Mid tlmt Bona tor Ilillmid other ,
leaders ltavo investigated the story and
found (lathing In It to injure Hie cimnccs
of Judge Gnyutnv should he bo noml-

the Democracy cannot afford to con
duct n cimipalgii of defense df cltnrac-
ter Hits year, and 'this assault upon
Judge Gnynor will make him umivall-
ablu ns ji oaadidate.
The avilHablllty of Judge Gnynor will

It was announced that tho latter would
