PRINCE BISMARCK SPEAKS.
Some Important Utterances From the
Ex-Ohancellor.

BERLIN, July 2e.-More than 1,100
excursionists from Brunswick arrived
in Friedrichsruhe yesterday afternoon
and marched to Prince Bsmarck's
house. In response TO an address from
their spokesman, Bismarck made q long
speech. His most notable remarks were
these:
"Such opposition as / experienced
when | was Minister President OF Prus-
sia has not been attempted recently.
During the old regime, however, no SER
ious danger was apprehended from OPP
position, because the fullest confidence
was felt that neither the Empire nor
Prussia could be endangered as long as
the helm of State was in the firm hands
OF the old Emperor and his ministry.
Enthusiastic cheering. To-day the
same belief In the solIdity and stability
OF affairs can hardly be said TO exist.
"Although the army bill was assailed
at frsr'from all sides, many voted for IL
rather than bear the responsibility for
the consequences OF second rejection
and a second dissolution. My son tells
me it was known generally that the
government would encounter the most
serious complications In case OF the Sec
ond defeat OF the DILL.
"As regards the commercial treaties
the Ministry nullded It's influence In
Parliament by acting In accordance
with the principle, diUtde ct inDertd.
Every faction fearing that IT might be
outdone by every other faction voted
yes The weight OF Parliament being
suspended, the consequence was the
creation OF vacuum which has been
filed, not by monarchism but BY . red
tape hierarchy, by bureaucracy. the
same bureaucracy which cleared the
way for the French triumphal wave In
1906, which collapsed before the Berlin
barrlcades In 1s4s. I have not advo-
Gated particularlsm among the German
States. / have advocated that patriot
ism should be cultivated In the small
est diets In the empire.
"You must not care too much what
foreign newspapers say about German
affairs, although the respect enjoyed oy
the empire in foreign countries ought
not to be undervalued. AS far as / can
perceive, German interests have made
progress recently In oaly one direction
ia which we dared not look formerly
that IS is in the direction OF our Polish
com patriots. What in the old days
could not have happened in hundred
years. has now come to pass. The
Poles have brought their votes into the
Ministerial camp. What they Wish to
obtain do not know, but they remind
me OF the glft-bearing Greeks. can
not bring myself to the belief that the
Polish nobility and clergy will long re-
main in harmony with the Ministry"

,MEMPHIs, TENN, July 25.-The jail
of Shelby county, within the city limits,
was broken into by several hundred
man at midnight. and Lee Walker, a re-
p slve black man, aged % years, was
taken out and strung up to telegraph
pole near the bank Of Wolf riger, and a
few hundred yards Of the jail. After
wards his body was cremated in the
yard OF lumber firm near by.
The negro culprlt was a native Of
North Mississippi, and his crime is
among the blackest in history. Within
the past week he has made four at
tempts to commit rape, two being sue
cessful, one victim being small col
ored girl three aud half years old,
who was badly lascerated, and the
other a married woman Of his own
color.
When the mob took him out for exc
cution, be made full confession Of his
bestial crimes.
Wild disorder reigned about the Jail
as the mob gathered to wreak ven
geanee. The gate Of the south wall OF
re massive structure was forced with
Sbar OF railway iron used as batter
ing ram on the shoulders OF men and
aFsuaseveral attempts, squads OF men
crowded their way within the walls.
Sheriff McLsndon was struck over the
head With a chair within the jail door,
as he tried to keep the mob out Of the
door. He was carried up stairs, placed
IN bed and received surgical attention.
NONE OF THE MOB WERE MASKED
and they seemed to be mainly young
railway switchmsn and men Of other
callings.
The man was marched out amid the
pells Of the mob sll the jail doors be-
ing thrown wide open but no other
prisoners interiered with. The mans
clothing was torn from. his body as be
moved with the mob to Williams lum-
Der yard 200 yards north Of the Jail
where he was strung up to a tel
egraph pole. He was naked,
a lighted gas lamp near by making him
plainly visible 10 the throng. He was
lacerated with knives. his throat was
cut before being finally hung.
His hands not having been tied he
clutched at the rope when raised of his
feet. The sight was a CHASTITY one. he
was a man OF powerful build, his head
towering above those OF the mob who
surrounded him.
At 2 o'clock this morning his mortal
remains were only ashes among the en-
bers Of the funeral pile with which he
had been destroyed.

HARRISON'S DEMAGOGY.
The Ex-President Speaks on the FinsnCIal
situation.

The Ex-President Speaks on the Financial
situation.
New YORK, July 23..The World this
morning prints the following views on
the situation expressed by Ex-President
Benjamin Harrison:
"The Sherman act Is not alone re-
sponsible for the prevailing want OF
confidence that everybody now expert
ences. The distrust is not against silver
only; 1t is not against the government
issue Of money; people are not holding
gold throughout the country. Relatively
gold is circulated as freely as silver,
people are Withdrawing money, gold
silver and paper alike from the circulat-
ing banks or the savings institutions
and are locking it In safe deposit vaults
or hiding it away In old stockings. They
do this not because they have no conf
dence in the government, but because
they are fearful OF business calSmitles.
The dlstrust is increasing and the out
look is gloomy. The Sherman act is
not the sole cause of bad times. That
measure has served its purpose, it is
true, but it is not responsible for the
depression which overhangs commerce,
trade and agriculture. The heterogeneous
political elements that will meet at
Washington in August would represent
free trade and many theories contrary
to business stability. The conservative
people of the country stand aghast at
possibilities Of legislation, and are trim
ming sails to suit the weather. The
outlook is dark, because 1t is difficult to
see how relief Is to come, How can the
present somewhat analogous condition
be changed by suddenly inspired conf
dence. The leaders Of the party in
power will scarcely acknowledge that
its principles are mistaken ones; that
the Chicago platform was false and
should be repudiated. l can see no
Moses at present who will lead the
business world out Of its Egyptian
darkness"

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM
In the situation Among the New England
Cotton FACTORIES

In the situation Among the New England
Cotton FACTORIES
New YORK, July 23.-The Herdld's
Boston correspondent says: A review Of
the situation among the cotton factories
of New England is not assuring, but
there is nothing to occasion great
alarm. Managers of the companies feel
that they are in perplexing situation,
such as has never been forced on them
at any former period in q quarter of q
century. Ordinarily at this season it
is nothing strange for some of the fac
tories to close down, but the shutting
out Of the doors now has much signifi-
eance far more than common. There is
an uncertainty in the air which may
swell into momentous proportions or
dwindle into nothingness. Just as the
wind watts, and canvass of some OF
the leading cities indicates that silver
has much to do with the situation, no
manufacturers go so far as to say that
they await the decision OF Congress on
the question whether the silver law
shall be repealed with fear and trepida-
ton and the companies In other indus
tries which are more or less allied to
cotton maintain similar views.
By the first week In August there
promises to be half a million pieces on
hand and then the manufacturers will
begin to talk seriously of general shut
down. There will be no running shorter
hours, but q general shut down for E
stated period. The print cloth market
Is proveroially uncertain and the mill
men are not without hope that one OF
those unexpected booms may come at
any time. 1t is practically certain that
they will stop production when the
stock on hand has reached one million
pieces, il not before.

Harrison's Views on the Finan-
cial Situation.

WASHINGTON. July 23.-oongressmen
who were most interested In defeating
the passage of the force bill, 1t sreport-
ed, may aid their Western colleagues In
opposing the unconditional repeal OF the
Sherman silver bill.
This state Of affairs is represented to
have been brought about by correspond
ence between Western silver Senators
and many Southern Senators. 1t Is said
that at the time the Force bill was be-
fore the Senate the Western silver Sen
ators bolted their party caucus
to aid their Southern friends
and resisted to the bitter end
all efforts TO "whIp them into line,"
that It was through their efforts united
with those OF the solid Democratic
minority led by Senator German, that
the fight against the force bill was sue
cessful and that much diplomacy was
necessary to gather sufficient strength
from the Republicans to defeat the
force bill, and that obligations were
consequently then incurred which have
since benefited the Republican Sena-
tors who aided the Democrats. Tariff,
silver and all othet questions were at
at the time relocated to the background
and every energy was put forth by the
Southern people to prevent the passage
oil the force bill.
A southern senator friendly to silver,
said to-day, that he felt very much like
going to the aid OF his fellow senators
in the West, on the principle that one
good turn deserves another. BY so do
ing he added that he could repay an OBJ
legation that both he and his people
felt was due to those who aided to de-
feat the 'cursed force BILL"
