WHAT BISMARCK SAYS

SWINGING AROUND THE CIRCLE IN GERTAAIALY.

••Minding HI* Hearers What He One* !.-... Wa» ud What the Pretest Chancellor 1* to the Empire—Hia Ancient

Lore of Frankfort.

BSRI.IX, Aug. 30.—In his speech at Kissingen to a number of citizens from Frankfort-on-the-Main, Prince Bismarck reminded his hearers of the days when he lived in Frankfort and became so domesticated that he selected a spot in a church yard there iqt his own grave. During the war of 1606 he wu never able to get rid of the tAiftptation to make Frankfort part of Prussia, although he wished the connietion to be voluntary. It was nd desire for conquest, but Frankfort was the bridge over the Main, the tete dfc pont, for Germany's unity, not in a military, but in a moral and commercial sense. If Frankfort had not become North German it was more than doubtful whether the neighboring southern states would not have followed the example of that great commercial emporium. This visit is a proof that all the old wounds had healed and that they bore him no ill will for his share in the matter.

In regard to the charge of his being a particularist the prince said that there was no legal handle against the ministers. The only thing was for the people to be able to say to the in: "That Was a clumsy, not to say stuDid, pieoe of work." The national cause was based on a calculation that all the factors would work together on common questions. If this failed the national feeling would diminish and this would be a serious matter in case of a change in the European situation. "I should never dream," continued Prince Bismarck, "of replacing the imperial with the Prussian government. The empire must be ruled by the united efforts of the twenty-five governments. I am uneasy when there is a chancellor who acts without consulting any* one. I had rather see him in the leading Btrings of his Prussian colleagues. His chief importance lies in his being a member of the bundesrath. If the bnndesrath ha-d a more direct feeling aHth Bavaria, Saxony and other states, and if the empire was in good order, I think the postoftice wr.uld gain a great deal by means of their correspondence. My hopes, however, have not been fulfilled."

At this point, Prince Ki6m'arck abruptly concluded his speech, excusing himself for doing so by remarking that he did not d«sire to tire the ladies by talking politics. He then called fo* cheers for Frankfort, which were heartily given.

CONVICT LABOR NOT WANTED.

Jffo One Will Bid for the 400 Prisoners at .Stillwater, itllnn. STILI.WATKR, Minn., Sept. 7.—The l»oard of prison managers was surprised and chagrined at its meeting yesterday to find that not a single bid had been received for the Minnesota convict labor from Oct 1, to Oct. 1, 1895. No such state of things ever before existed since the state was organized and the managers were at a loss what to do.

The Minnesota Thrasher company has been making use of this labor for the last eighteen years, and as this company lias-erected a large plant adjoining and in the penitentiary it was the general impression that the company would again bid for the convicts at the old price of -l~ cents a day for each prisoner.

The thrasher company made no statement whatever, but one of its officers sa in an interview that it had become generally known that convict labor was being used in the manufacture of its thrashers and that it was losing business on that account. It had therefore cot eluded not to use convicts in the making of its machines any longer.

After recovering its breath the board of managers passed a resolution ordering the thrasher companv to remove all its effects from inside the prison walls in the next twenty days. The *tate of Minnesota, however, temains in its dilemma of having 400 convicts ©n its hands without a stroke of work for them to do.

IOWA BLUE-BEARD ON TRIAL.

William Mawhor, the Alleged Murderer of Many Wives, In Court. Diss MOINES, Iowa, Aug. 30.—The trial of William Mawhor, the aged and wealthy farmer of Fremont county, Iowa, began at Avoca yesterday. He is charged with the murder of his fifth wife, whom he met in Kansas City in 168], in answer to an advertisement. The case is peculiar,and as the other four wives died very suddenly, Mawhor is regarded as a veritable "blue-beard." The coroner's inquest revealed the presence of strychnine in the victim's stomach, and a bottle of the same poison was found in Mawhor's tobacco pouch. Previous to his wife's death Mawhor had secured a §s,000 insurance policy on her life. Since his arrest Mawhor has spent much of his time in jail at Council Hluffs. He has behaved very quietly, showing no signs of insanity and reading his bible almost constantly.

He saw fourteen box cars that had been blown from the railroad track and turned over. All the phosphate works in the city were blown down or badly damaged.^ There was a schooner lying high in the streets, having been driven from its anchorage.

From midnight to 1 o'clock the wind blew a gale of sixty miles an hour. The rain fell in torrents. Its was almost a cloudburst. Men rowed around in boats from store to store in the lower part of the city, carrying merchants and clerks to their place of business and removing valuable goods and books. The streets resembled lagoons instead of business thorougfares. The wharves were completely submerged, if not destroyed. Street cars moved along Bratt street with water running over their floors.
