 London, Sept. 23.-The demonstration at Varzin was marred by the heavy rain which fell throughout the day, The roads were hardly passable. but this did not deter the people from the vicinity from gathering about the rail
 way stations at Hammersmuhle to await the arrival of the special trains The northerners from Dantzig and Elb-
 ing arrived at Hammersmuhie at 1o:3C q. m. They were under the command of Baron Fournieck The southerners from Grandenz arrived ten minutes
 later. accompanied by two military
 bands. Councillor von Gerlich, who
 was In supreme command. ranged the arrivals under the best shelter to be | found at Hammersmuhle and provided them with luncheon. The utmost good
 humor prevailed, despite the drenching
 most of the party had received. Seeing no signs of cessation of tbe storm Prince
 Bismarck telepraphed from Varzin to | the committees:
 l Don't trouble yourselves to come to l varzin It will be bad marching in the mud and rain, so I will come and meet you at Hammersmuhle." | Councillor von Gerlich put the Ques- | ton to the committee whether they should stay at Hammersmuhle or march to VarZin.
 The great mass of the visitors shouted
 "let us go to Varzin."
 Soon after this great number of ladies. forming separate battalion
 part of them marching and part oc- cupying harvest cars, formed a column and proceeded toward Varzin. On leaving Hammermuhle they gave three cheers for the kaiser. The rest of the procession followed. As the head of the procession marched into the yard the processionists were singing "The
 Watch on the Vistula," and "The
 Watch on the Rhine."
 As far as possible the yard had been covered with boards and tarpaulins
 but they did not suffice to keep off the rain. Prior to the arrival of the pro- cession Prince Bismarck had welcomed
 several members of the committee. He deplored the weather conditions and l expressed sorrow at the meagreness Of the shelter in that vicinity.
 About noon the procession entered
 the yard with 300 ladies ih front, eact carrying a bouquet. Prince Bismarck ordered forms arranged for the ladies
 to sit on while he was speaking. The
 battalions formed in good order, each
 under a standard showing the district
 from which they were deputed. The banners were inscribed with a variety of notices, such as faithful" from
 EIbing and "true" from Grandenze, etc., etc. As Prince Bismarck made his ap- pearance there was a prolonged cheer
 of "Hoch." Then the choral 'Deutsch-
 land Ueber Alles" was sung and Baron l Fournieck presented the ex-chancellor with an address, adding:
 You are our ideal statesman. Our
 star Is still old Bismarck"
 There was chorus of hurrahs at this
 and the band played "Ich ben ein l Prusse."
 The prince then drank glass of
 brandy and soda and said:
 1T am greatly pleased with your visit, | and all the more so that the bad wealth l CT did not deter you from coming. None of you can longer hope, fear or expect from me. What leads us together Is
 common love for the fatherland. 1 (Cheers)
 "It is distinction that state collea- l gue of mine, and no Prussian minister ever experienced claim nothing except that have done my duty in the service l of a master with whom am bound in common faith toward the country.
 within the last eight days we have heard manifold expressions from friend | and foe in regard to the demonstration l on the part of the deputation from 1 Posen. am pleased to find satisfaction expressed by Journals not ordinarily friendly to me, yet though this is @ 1 broad national feeling concurring in | this question against Polish assump- 1 lions. the Poles are dissatisfied. did not | speak too sharply of the Polish nobil- ity. Especially in regard to the proceed 1 ings at Lemberg, the Poles seem natur- 1 ally unable to refrain from making known their ends and aims. In this re- l spect they are unlike the social demo l crats. who do not make known their | aims. This is partly because they them [ selves do not know what they want. | The Poles know what they want. They want great Polish empire from the l Baltic to the Black sea, but even the reconstruction of the grand dukedom of | Poland is impossible without a great European convulsion. It Is Utopian 1 dream. If 1t could be achieved 1t would be a misfortune to us. Neighborship with Russia is something uncomforta- ble, but Polish neighborship would be unbearable. would rather negotiate with the czar than with a schlachter in Warsaw even though great Poland would be a protection against Russian l invasion" Continuing Prince Bismarck said:
 "The Polish army in 1881 was only brave, thanks to the Grand Duke Con- stantine's drilling. Privately I would have enjoyed seeing the Poles beat the Russians. When the Poles were in need they were unable to unite and 1t Is only | in time of peace that they have united against the Germans. What hope for Is to be able to externinate the sympa- thies of my German countrymen with the Poles. (Cries of "bravo.") The
