ADENSE FOG
Delays Shipping Along the New England
Coast.

BosToN, Sept. 1G.-The harbor and
lower bay were enveloped in a fog the
whole day. 1t shut in thick Saturday night.
and continues thick tonight, with but little
sign of clearing before Monday morning
The captains of all local steamers which ar
rived, today, report having had dense fog
since midnight, Saturday. They only
reached port after feeling their way very
cautiously up the bay.
The Cunsrd steamer Scythia from Liver
pool arrived in the lower bay early this
morning, but owing to the fog being so
dense she was obliged to anchor below
Boston light for safety. Twice the fog
cleared somewhat during the afternoon.
The Scythia made an attempt to come in
before reaching the narrows. but the fog
shut down even more dense than at any
time during the day. In consequence the
steamers headed out of the channel. The
Scytbis has large number of cabin pas
sengers and several hundred in the steer
age.
Tugs Vim and Gala arrived from the
bay about tonight. The captains report
another steamer outside firing guns, proba-
bly, for a pilot. The steamer in all proba-
bility is the Boston City (Br.) from Ham
burg. Both steamers will arrive up from
below about tomorrow morning providing
the fog clears.

HONOR TO BISMARCK.
Crowds Of Wsitore Show Their Love Tor the
Ex.Chanceilor.

WARREN, Sept. l6.-This little village
never before saw such festival as began
here this morning. Preparations have been
making for days to receive the Posen dele
CATION of prince Bismarcks admirers. With
day break, the visitors came from the sur
rounding districts, by scores. They found
the streets alrerdy decorated with garlands
and flags, while arches spauned the roads
which lead to the castle. The policemen
closed the approaches to the castle so as to
leave a free way for the delegation.
Special trains left 1Posan Bromberg and
Hsvitch at 10 o'clock, last evening. At
Schneidsmeuhl they were joined to trains
from other points. The Great line cars
were all packed to the last bit of standing
room. Divided into two sections they ran
thus to Varien, about half an hour apart.
The first train reached Hammermuehl at
! 25, the other one just before noon.
Tents for the reception of the delegates
were erected and the tables for luncheon
spread before IL. Young men walked
from the railway station to the castle, and
the older men were carried in the princes
carriages, in vehicles used at his factories,
and in whatever else had wheels and some
thing to sit on. The procession was mar
shalled by Maj. Won Tiedemann, who
divided it into three battalions. At the
farmhouse near the station each battalion
halted and bad grog, coffee and sausages,
served by men from the princes estate.
After this refreshmcnt the procession was
reorganized. Twenty three hundred men
were eager to take part in the march past
the castle.
Msj. Won Tedemann ordered halt
when the head of the column arrived at the
platform erected 10 front of the castle
entrance. The delegates gathered in big
ssmi-circle to await the Princes coming.
Bismarck had already been on the veranda.
He found several long tables, around
which sat reporters of all the large
journals in north Germany. 81 am
afraid you will find this rather a poor
affair."" he said, after exchanging greet
ings. al am feeling rather fatgued and
fear l caDnot give you much for your
papers. / hope none of you will ever
know the plague of lumbago such as
contracted at my work. Bismarck looked
over the rows of reporters, clasped his
hands behind his back, and said, with
suggestion of sadness, s'And all these gen
tlemen sacrificed themselves for two nights
to come and see what is but ruin"
