’3' T I THE MACON TELEGRAPH MACON, GA.. MONDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 24, 1891. BUDGET OF NEWS FROM GERMANY The Opening of Ihe Reichstag in the New Parliamentary Building in November, THE POLES ARE STILL UNITED Indications That the Folelsh Nation la Reviving Have Cauactl the Preaa to Dlacnaa the dueatlon In « Serloaa Manner, i. 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 MEYERS’ NECK.

Atlanta, Sept. 23.-(Sp«l:tl.?~\Vhlle CliteC of Detectives Weight, with three of hts men, had young Will Meyers, tho supposed murderer, of Forest Crowley out at Westwood Park, nuking curtain Investigations Vhicn required the pres ence of tho prisoner oil tho ground where tho murder wits committed, n party of Roswell people suddenly ap peared ou tho scone. On act-nut of tho repeated threats of lynching,Moyers by Cobb county |>eoplo w!u» were friends of the mmde.nl man, Ih'o de tectives were ou tlio'r gnu rd.

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. -A SUNDAY SCUFFLING BOUT.
