Prlnco Bismarck apparently Is not alarmed by tho threats to prosecute him, for his organ, tho Hamburger Nachrichten, to-day replied to the broadside of tho official Iloichs Anzclgcr of Tuesday, which In timated that tho fate which overtook Count von Arnttn might await those who disclosed secrets of state. Tho Nachrichten says: "Tho negotiations of those days (of Bismarck's tenure of office) were no strict stato of secrets, but belonged to history. There Is no ne cessity for nccrccy so far as Germany nnd tho drolbund is concerned, ns the treaty was mado solely in compliance with Russia's wish and Germany had nothing to bo nshomed of. On tho con trary, all peace-loving Germans havo just satisfaction. It Is totally untrue that tho treaty implied disloyalty to the drolbund. Tho latter even allowed Austria to bo neutral in tho event of a French attack upon Germany or nn unprovoked German attack on Russia. Tho wholo drolbund could Incorporate in it if Russia was willing and conclude tho same argument without abandon ing its main purpose. This would tranqullizo all the friends of peace, and if thero is any inclination on tho part v.f Russia it would bo expedient to re new tho Rus8o-Gcrman treaty." Tho Hnmburgcr Nachrichten then takes tho Reich s Anzoigcr to task for saying of its announcement of tho ex istence of tho Russo-Gcrmun treaty that "It will neither correct what is falso nor supplying what is Incom plete," saying: "The statement mado is not false, as declared by tho Reich's Anzeiger, and tho latter can only sup plement what it declares to bo incom plete by publishing tho wholo treaty. Under theso circumstances tho Ham burger Nachrichten considers itself en titled to demand a public ratification, as required by tho press law, of tho Reich's Anzoiger's assertion."

As Goncrals Palmer and Buckncr stood on tho rear platform of their car hero this morn ing to speak for tho gold standard, a number ot young men pushed up with a Bryan banner and flaunted It in tho faces of the generals. Tho disturbers hooted for Bryan, whereat a number of cx-Confcderate boldicrs cried to General Buckner: "Wo nre ashamed of them." General Palmer tried to speak, but his words wero drowned. "This in a fine country," ho exclaimed, finnlly, "and if you want to arguo your causes this way you can do so with Impunity." Fresh shouts of derision greetedGen cral Palmer and the old soldier grow indignant, whilo his oyes snapped. "Let these fellows wltn long ears bray," he exclaimed. T. B Buckner of Kansas City tried to quell tho disturbance and finally General Palmer was able to say that he simply wished to introduce General Buckner. General Buckner was cheered, but the crowd sot up renewed cheers of "Look at tho McKinley Aid Society!" General Buckner pointed at the ban ner and said: "Let me tell you who nnd what constitute the McKinley Aid society." Then referring to Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky and Ohio, ho said that the free silver agitators were tho authors of tho Democracy's ruin. "In 1802 on a sound money platform wo elected Grover Cleveland, but tho lost elections in Missouri, in Illinois, in Kentucky, in Ohio, were disastrous be cause you, you shouters with your heresies, drove the party on to failure and contempt. Hold up that banner. There is the emblem of the McKlnley Aid society. Look at it." Tho banner was then dropped to tho ground. After hesitating somo mo ments, tho taunting words of General Buckner urged them to raiso it again. Mingled cries of "shame" and hoots ensued. General Buckner said: "All through Iowa wo were treated with great courtesy. I did not believe that we would be shown such disrespect in Mis souri. I do not believe that it went further than tho few roughs." General Palmer said thai all through the South ho had not met with any thing of the sort and was deeply sur prised.

At Fay ette, a Bryan banner was advanced with nn American flag marked: "Fay ette Democratic Club," when Generals Palmer and Buckner appeared, and the bearers attempted to put tho banner in General Palmer's face. A citizen named Williams tried to urgo peace and tho gold men rallied and rushed the Bryan banner back. A man tried to punch General Buck ner with the flag pole and Williams seized it and the crowd rushed upon him and began belaboring him. He is a Democrat. The fighting went on under the eyes of Mrs. Palmer and Mrs. Buckner. The rioters tried to get nt the generals and strike them with their Bryan ban ners. Scores of men fought bitterly around the car und the train had to leave without a word from the candi dates being heard. Before the actual blows began to be exchanged, dozens of citizens rushed up and shook hands with the generals and Popo Yeamon, who was to havo introduced them. Most of the rioters were young men, members of the Fayette Democratic club. They wore high white hats with Bryan's name inbenbed thereon, aud white badges. Most of them seemed to belong to the well-to-do clement There was no warning of the intentions of tho Fayette Democratic club. Seiai.ia, Mo., Oct 30. At Hannibal, at Moberly and at Boonville tho recep tion of the generals was in marked contrast to the disorders at Paris and Fayette. At Boonville tho boys from Kemper college, in their gray uniforms, marched up and formed a line, and 2,000 men and women, most of them wearing yellow flowers and yellow badges, greeted the generals with cheers and listened carefully to Gen eral Palmer's remurks. A beautiful boquct of yellow chrysanthemums was handed to General Palmer. At Pilot Grove, where tho train only stopped a moment, a crowd with a Bryan banner was on hand to stop the speaking. At 1:30 o'clook a crowd of 5,000 met tho train at Sedalla. Tho crowd was respectful, but cold, even under tho mastersul oratory of ex-Congressman R. G. Frost of St. Louis, who intro duced General Buckner. Tho Ken tuckian made a speech of fifteen min utes' duration, in which ho nttocked the Bryan theories without mercy. General Palmer followed with his speech of warning. At 2 o'clock tho cenerals separated nnd tho general passenger agent of tho Missouri Pacific railroad took General Palmer's party in charge for Kansas City. tieneral Buckner told about the Taris and Fayette incidents and created a sensation.
