THE MACON TELEGEAPH: FEIDAY MOENING, AUGUST 13. 1897.
THEY ARE NOW IN TROUBLE
AUSTRIA AND BULGARIA NOT ON
GOOD TERM*.
Crow Out of (ho Refusal or the Bulga
rian Premier to DieaTOw ao Inter-
xletT in Which an Insulting Re
mark was Made Against Austria
8o(ia. Bulgaria, Aug. 12.—'The Austrian
charge d'affaires, Baron Call Vou Kitlm-
bach-Roaenberg, has left Bulgaria on an
indefinite leave of absence. His depart
ure Is owing to the refusal of ithe Bul
garian premier, M. Storloff, to comply
v-'lth the demand of the Austrian govern
ment to formerly disavow an interview
with the premier, published in Lokalan-
zslger of Berlin last month, in which, re
ferring to the Insistence of Austria, upon
which the punishment of Capt. Berichoff,
the former aide de camp of Prince Ferdi
nand of Bulgaria, recently conTicted of
the murder of his. paramour, Anna 8.
Zilmmo, an Austrian subject, he drew an
insulting parallel between the officials in
Austria and Bulgaria.
London. Aug. 12.—The Austro-Bulgar-
inn trouble is a suspension, rather tban
a rupture, of diplomatic relations, Baron
Call Von Kulmbach-Rosenberg, the
charge d'affaires at Soda, having en
trusted the business of the legation to
the secretary during hU absence. It Is
not likely that Austria will do anything
furiher. Matters are likely to remain as
they are for the present, and as Bul
garia survived a breach with Russia,
she will also survive d breach with Aus-
*■ tria.
It Is suggested that her masterful pre
mier, M. Stoloff, wishes to embarrass
Prince Ferdinand, who must choose be-
tweu dismissing his premier and offend:
ing Austria. It is also alleged that the
sultan has urged Prince Ferdinand to
resist with a view to creating a diversion
of European pressure now exercised
upon Turkey with reference to the peace
treaty. Mr. Stoloff’s antipathy towards
Austria is notorious, while the relations
• between the Austrian count and Prince
Ferdinand had already ceased entirely,
the Emperor Frances Joseph having ob
stinately refused to receive the prince.
Russia, according to a dispatch from St.
Petersburg, declines to give.the slightest
a&ilstance to a declaration of Bulgarian
Independence and the dispatches say all
the powcw desiring peace would equally
resist such a step.

Some years ago the rulers of the lit
tle republic of Andorra decided that
the country should possess a cannon.
Krupp, therefore, was ordered to man
ufacture one of the most modern type.
The great gun arrived at Its desti
nation In due time, and was placed on
the highest point In the "country," so
that the citizens could see that the
valley was well protected. A day waa
appointed to try the cannon, which
was able to send a ball eighteen kilo
meters T odlrect the shot, however,
toward the surrounding mountains
wunld be the same as firing at France
or Italy, as the ball would necessarily
fall on the territory of one of these
countries. A wsr might be the re
sult.
It was then decided to ehoot the ball
In the air. hut some one suggested this
would endanger the lives of too many
people in Its descent, and possibly bore
a great hole In the republic of Andor
ra. Good council prevailed and the two
artillerymen were commanded to un
load the gun. The shot has not yet
been fired, according to the latest ac
counts. and the good republicans are
uncertain what to do with their ex
pensive gun.

FAIR IN ATLANTA.
(Continued from page 1.)
watch over the poor white girls on the
secluded farms; and If these poor
maidens are destroyed lu a land that
their fathers died to save from the In
vader's foot, I say the shame lies with
the survivors who fail to be protectors
for the chlltjren of their dead comrades.
“I do Hot'dkicouut foreign missions. I
simply say the heathens are at your
door, when our young maidens are de
stroyed in sight of your opulence and
magnificence, and when your temples of
justice are put to shame by the lynchers'
rope. If your court houses are eOama
and frauds and the law's delay Is the
villain's bulwark, then I say let judg
ment begin at the house of God and re
deem this country from tho cloud of
shame that rests upon It!
"When there Is not enough religion In
the pulpit to organize a crusade against
sin; nor Justice In the court house to
promptly punish crime, nor manhood
enough In the nation to put a shelter
ing .arm about innocence and virtue—
If It needs lynching to protect woman's
dearest possession from the ravening
human beast—then I say lynch; a
thousand times a week if necessary.
“The poor girl would choose any
death In preference to such Ignominy
and outrage and a quick death Is
mercy to the rapist compared to the
suffering of Innocence and modesty fn
a land of Bibles and churches, where
violence Is becoming omnipotent except
With the rich and powerful before the
law.
"The crying need of woman on the
farms is security in their lives in their
homes. Strong, able-bodied men have
told me that they stopped farming and
moved to town because their women
folks were scared to death If let alone.
"I say it is a disgrace In a free coun
try when such things are a public re
proach and the best part of God’s
creation are trembling and crying for
protection In their own homes. And I
say, with due respect to ail who listen
to me, that sq long as your politics
takes the colored man Into your em
braces on election day to control his
vote; and so long as the politicians use
liquor to befuddle his understanding
and make hint think he. Is a man and
a brother; when they propose to de
feat the opposition by honey-snuggling
him at the polls, and so long as he Is
made familiar with their dirty tricks
In politics so long will lynchlngs prevail
because the causes of it grow and In
crease.”
VICTIMS OF STAGE FRlGnT.
Experiences of Famous Orators When
They Begin to Speak In Public.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Perhaps It would be invidious to call
Dr. Chauneey M. Depew the foremost
orator of the day in America, but he
is certainly ns well known for his ad
dresses. post-prandlal and of every oth
er sort, as any man who ever lived on
this side of the Atlantic. He began
to think and talk on his feet at a very
early age, and many of his most felic
itous speeceks are extemporaneous, but
by far the mort Important ones are
carefully wrought out In advance, and
some of them are written and memor
ized. though not laboriously, perhaps,
for the gifted doctor has his mental
talents always fn condition. His very
first public speech of any consequence
to him was delivered when he was a
sophomore. It was called an "oration”
and was delivered for a prize, which he
won. and was learned by heart. His
commencement oration was also mem
orized. His first impromptu public ad
dress was delivered In 1866, when Fre
mont was running for the presidency.
Detiew was out of college by that time,
but he was stll la youngster. He be
lieved In Fremont, and In this he was
at odds with his father, with whom he
had held many political arguments. A
Republican mass meeting was to be
held at which .the chief speaker was to
be George William Curtle.
Deqew decided -to attend tho meeting.
When lie arrived the audience, which
« * a large one, had already been wait
ing for some time for the arrival of
Mr. Curtis. After a further wait these
fn charge of the meeting asked Depew
to speak. He protested, saying that he
was young. Inexperienced and unpre
pared. but they succeeded In persuad
ing him. When he went on the plat
form he was at first greatly embarrass
ed.
"But.” he said to the writer one day,
"I made un my mind to talk to the
crowd exactly as I had been talking to
my father, and I have no doubt I did
so. though I can not remember what I
said. When I had finished I looked at
my watch, supposing I hid been speak
ing some ten or fifteen minutes, but In
reality I had talked about an hour and
a half."
The flrst address to which Speaker
Reed ever gave serious attention was
delivered while he was a student at
Bowdoln College. He had fallen be
hind In his classes, but was very de
sirous of entering a competitive con
test for class honors. Although the
prizes were delivered solely because of
good oratory, no one could compete
whose class tanding was low, and In
order to enter the lists he had to do an
enrmous amount of "back work." He
once told the writer that he worked
harder during th* time he was pre
paring to enter the contest than he
ever did before or ever has elnce. The
subject of his address was "Death,”
and he won the prise.
Mr. Reed Is still frequently affected
grievously by stage fright. Perhaps
his worst suffering of that sort was
on an occasion when he had to deliver
an Important political spech In Boston.
He had prepared elaborately, but he
audience teemed so cold that before he
had been on tils feet a full minute he
determined to take another tack. .This
meant to prepare his speech and de
liver It at the same time. For the first
five minutes he sparred for time. He
bas since said to his friends that his
voice seemed husky and far away to
him. But after a bit he struck the
right key, his tones became clear and
ringing, and the resultant address was
one of the most brlllant he ever de
livered.
Col. Robert G. Ingersoll nevr deliv
ered a college oration, for he had not
the advantage of th* higher training.
His fir ft speech was made as a coun
try lawyer In a little Illinois town,
where he had ben studying for the bar
with his brother. His flrst fame as a
political speaker was won at Peoria,
and on that occasion he, like the others
mentioned here, was In a highly ner
vous state.

•IT READS LIKE A ROMANCE
STORY OF A CONSPIRACY TO SEIZE
THE NATIONAL CAPITAL,
Secretary of War Holt Kept His Secret
Well—Tho Seizure a Fart of the Pina
of Secession—Troops Wero Ready
for tha Attack.
The Washington correspondent of the
St. Louis Globe-Democrat says the war,
department Is about to publish a con
fidential report made by Secretary of
War Joseph Holt to President Buch
anan on the conspiracy of certain
Southerners to seize the City of Wash
ington before the, inauguration of Mr.
Lincoln. Mr. Holt explatna the stepa
taken to defeat the conspiracy. The
revelations constitute an important ad
dition to American history. They put
the Buchanan administration In a
somewhat better light than was ac
corded 'it by the North at that time.
Secretary Holt's communication was
made on the 18th of February, 1861,
Uvol weeks before the Inauguration of
Mr. Lincoln.
"At what time.” he wrote, “ the
armed occupation of Washington City
became a part of the revolutionary
programme is not certainly known.
More than six weeks ago the Impres
sion had already extensively obtained
that a conspiracy for the accomplish
ment of this guilty purpose was In
process of formation, if not fully ma
tured. The earnest endeavors made by
men known to be devoted to the rev
olution to hurry Virginia and Mary
land out of the Union were regarded
as preparatory steps for the subjuga
tion of Washington.
"This plan was In entire harmony
with the aim and spirit of those seek
ing the subversion of the government,
since no more fatal blow to Its ex
istence could be struck than the per
manent and hostile possession of the
seat of power. It was In harmony, too,
with the avowed designs of the revolu
tionists, which looked to a confederacy
of all the slave states, and necessarily
to the conquest of the capital within
their limits. It seemed not very indis
tinctly prefigured In' a proclamation
made upon the floor of the senate,
without qualification, it not exultantly,
that the Union was already dissolved
—a proclamation which, however In
tended, was calculated to Invite on
the part of men of desperate fortunes
or of revolutionary states a raid upon
the capital. In view of tho violence
and turbulent disorders already ex
hibited In tho South, the public mind
could not. reject such a scheme at at
all improbable. That a belief In Its
existence was entertained by multi
tudes there can be no doubt, and this
belief I fully shared. My conviction
rested not only on tho facts already
alluded to, but upon Information, some
of which was of a most conclusive
character, that reached the govern
ment from many parta of the country,
not merely expressing the prevalence
of the opinion that such an organiza
tion had been formed, but also often
furnishing the plausible grounds upon
which such an opinion was based.
Superadded to these proofs wero the
oft-repeated declarations of men In high
political positions here, and /who wore
known to have intimate affiliations with
the revolution. If, indeed, they did not
hold its reins In their hands, to tho ef
fect that Mr. Lincoln would not or should
not be inaugurated In Washington. Such
declarations from such men could not
Ire treated as empty bluster. They were
the solemn utterances of thode who well
knew the import of their word*, and
who, in tho exultation of the temporary
victories gained oTer their country's flag
In tho South, felt assured that events
would soon give them the power to
verify their predictions. Simultaneously
with these prophetic warnings a South
ern journal of targe circulation and in
fluence, and which is published near the
City of Washington, advocated Its mat
ure as tz possible political necessity. The
nature and power of the testimony thus
accumulated may he estimated by tha
effecta produced upon the poptflar mind.
"Apprehension for the safety of the
capital were communicated from poluts
near and remote by men unquestionably
reliable and loyal. The resident poputa-
tlon became disquieted and the repose of
many families In the city was known to
be disturbed by painful anxieties. Mem
bers of congress, too—men of calm and
comprehensive views and of undoubted
fidelity to their country—frankly ex
pressed their solicitude to the preildcnt
and to tills department, anti formally In
sisted that the defense* of the capital
should be strengthened. With sttcu
warnings It could not be forgotten that
bad the )lte secretary of war heeded the
anonymous Tetter, which he received, the
tragedy at Harper's Ferry would hare
been avoided; nor could I fall to remem
ber that had the early admonitions
which reached here In regard to the de
sign* of lawless men upon the forts of
Charletton harbor been acted on by
sending forward re-enforcements berorc
the revolution began the disastrous polit
ical complications tbst ensued might not
have occurred.
"Impressed by these circumstances, I
earnestly besought yon to allow the con
centration at thl* city of a sufficient
military force to preserve the public
peace from all dangers that seemed to
threaten It. An open manifestation on
the part of the administration of a de
termination as well as the ability to
maintain the laws would, I was con
vinced, prove the sorest, as also the
mott pacific, means of baffling and dis
solving any conspiracy that might have
been organized. It was believed,, too,
tost the highest and moat solemn re
sponsibility resting upon a president
withdrawing from the government was
■to secure to bis successor a peaceful in
auguraflon.
"So deeply. In my judgment, did this
duty concern the whole country and
the fair fame of our Instituttona that
to guarantee Its faithful discharge I
was persuaded no preparation could be
too determined or too complete. Tho
presence of the troop* Is the result of
the conclusion arrived at by yourself
and cabinet on the proposition sub
mitted to you by this department. Al
ready this display of life and loyalty
on the part of the administration has
produced the happiest effects. Publlo
confidence has been restored and tho
feverish apprehensions, which It was
so mortifying to contemplate, have been
banished. Whatever may have been
the machinations of deluded lawless
men. the execution* of their purpose*
have been suspended, if not altogether
abandoned, In view of preparations
which announce more Impressively
than words that this administration Is
alike able and resolved to transfer in
peace and to tha president sleet the
authority that under the constitution
belongs to him.
"To those. If such there be, who de
sire the destruction of tho republic the
presence of these troops Is necessarily
offensive, but those who sincerely love
our institutions can not fall to rejoice
that by this timely precaution they
have possibly escaped the deep dis
honor which they must have suffered
had the capital, like the forts and arse
nals of the South, fallen Into the hand*
of revolutionists, who have found this
great government weak only because,
In the ezhaustless beneficence of Its
spirit It has refused to strike, even In
Ita own defense, lest it'should be the
aggressor.”

President Buchanan, are interesting.

“Tho Graveyard of (lie European*.”
Eliza Rt.hamah Seldmore, author of
"Jlnrikltlit Days," contributes to the
Century an article on "Down to Java.”
The writer says:
"No Europeans lire at Tandjon Prlok,
nor In the old City of Batavia, which
from the frightful mortality during two
centuries was known as ‘the graveyard
of Europeans.' The banks and business
bouses, the Cltlneee and Arab quarters,
are In the ‘old town'; but European! de
sert that quarter before sundown, and
betake themselves to the ‘new town'
suburbs, where every house is In a park
of Its mvp, and the avenue* are broad
and straight, and all the distances are
magnificent. The City of Batavia, liter
ally 'fair meadows,' grandiloquently 'the
Queen of the East,’ mid without exag
geration 'the gridiron of the East,’ dates
from .1621, when the Dutch removed
front Bantam, where quarrel* between
Portuguese, Javanese, and the East In
dia Company hid been disturbing to
trade for fifteen years, and built Fort
Jacatra, at the mouth of a river off
which o cluster of Islands sheltered a
fine Inrlior.
•'H* position In the midst of swamps

so 'appalling as to ecm Incredible. Dutch
records tell of 87.000 soldiers and sailors

1,000,000 people died within the city walla
between 1730 and 1752, tho place at no
time claiming over 40,000 Inhabitant* all
told. The people were long In learning
that those who went away to the higher
suburbs to sleep, and who built houses
of the most open eonstruetlon, to admit
of the fullest sweep of ntr, were free
from Aba fever .of the wnlled town Stir-

this century, the quaint old, dlr-tlglit

street* were widened; and there Is now
a great outspread town of red-roofed,
whitewashed houses, with no special
features or plcturesqiienes* to make Its

or tropical. Modern Batavra has 100,000

A STATU CENSUS.
From the Boston Journal.
At th# date of the national census of
1880 there were 26T.730 person* found In
states or territories other than Mass*,
cliusetts who had emigrated frum Mas
sachusetts: In 1850 the number had In
creased to *74.740. On the other ha.iJ.
in 18S0 there were 261.021 residents of
Massachusetts who had come in from
other states or territories, and this num
ber had Increased In 1890 to 315,950. The
gains of the state as a whole from other
states, as shown In the census of 1890.
were much greater than the louse of
the state to other stales.
Confining our analysis to the figures
for 1890 only, and taking some of the
states which show the largest number
of persons moving to any fro. w e find
that persons residing In California who
had come from Massachusetts number
ed 19.788. while natives of California
who formed part of the poulatlon of
Massachusetts, numbered only t.OJS. On
the other hand, persons who had emi
grated from Massachusetts Into Con
necticut numbered 25,810, while the ac
cessions to the population of Massachu
setts from Connecticut numbered 85.-
403. the figures practically balancing
each other. In Illlnota there were 18.
898 persons who had come from Massa
chusetts. while natives of Illinois who
had come into Massachusetts numbered
but 9.019. Other western states, as a
rule, show much larger accessions of
population from Massachusetts than
Massachusetts had gained from themi
although tho figures do not In any cum
rise ao high a* in California and Illi
nois.
Comparisons based on the movements
to and from the New England.states
other than Connecticut show In Jtalne
10.385 person* who had come from Mas
sachusetts. while at the date named
there were 86.988 persona In Maseachu-
aett* who came from Maine. Natives of
Massachusetts found in New Hamp
shire numbered 21,311. white natives o'
New aHmPihlre found In Massachu
setts numbered 67,745. Vermont had
gained only 7,244 persons from Massa
chusetts. while wo had received from
Vermont 34.29.1. In Rhode Island na
tives of Massachusetts found in that
state numbered 25,574, while natives of
Rhode Island found here numbered 21.-
044. Both Rhode Island and Connect
icut have drawn more population than
they have returned.
French Fashions Doomed.
Numerous contingents of young wo
men clad In garb of n decldely mascu
line cut apepar In the streets, says *
Paris correspondent. They are not al
bicyclists, and many of them are utter
ly Incapable of using the small machine
which li fast supplanting ordinary ve
hicles. They affect the costume of the
lady cyclist- however, because It Is cool
and cheap. A straw hat or a whit* bit
lycoek, a blouse or Jacket, brief pnta-
loons, black stockings or socks, and
brown boot* do not cal for as much cx-
penditure'ns a ful lcostume, which has
to be of good material anti must be
fashionably made. Moreover, cycling
dress may be worn without the 1m
prisoning corset; It la freer, and enables
the w arer to breathe well and to en
joy air. Hence It la becoming popular,
nnd It 1* no wonder tbnt an alarm la
raised by persons who complain that
the Parlslennes are developing mascu
line tendencies In habits as wel las In
dress. The croakers cry that It will
soor be all up with French fashions,
that ladles of other nations will no
longer lok to Paris as the headquarter*
of taste In the matter of femlnlnc-op-
parcl now that the era of mannish at
tire Is setting in, and that pantaloons
are beglnnlg to supplant petticoats.
Time was when the divided skirt wa*
regarded her as a curiosity nnd
monstrosity; but now tho times have
changed, and chaos may be said to
have aet In, since nearly half the young
women met Jn the streets of nPrls now
look like boys home tor the holidays.
No one knows .what the next step will
be. but it la evident that a strong
movement Is being .made by the women
for the purpose of emancipating them
selves from the bondage of the petti
coat, which the advanced females who
have been long agitating for masculine
nttlre are unwearied In denouncing na
dangerous and useless.
