Its ways
THE L01doR Times Gays: at has become doubt
! ful whether he secret Government OF the National
Committed il not stronger at this moment IN Poland
than the Imperial authority. The command Of
money has at last told, and n machinery ha6 been
constructed aud set at work which has turned kus
sian officials into agents OF the revolution. Ii is u
new state Of things, formidable than any ordi-
nary iusdrrectiOh.'
According TO news from Waraw, rumor wac
current that tne Government intended issuing Il
manifesto Oh tho 1911, ordering tho reorganization
Of the police, gendarmes, aud peasants. The mani
iestO would, VIA said further order the cOnisca
ton Of the property Of all insurRent landed proprie
tori, aud the levying of contribution throughout
| Poland.
On the LIST inst, Jezwraush defeated the Rue
sihha near Zauek, clOse 10 the Galiclan frontier

si.n riies.
The soldiers stationed there made m attack on the
