THE OLD WORLD.

The excitement in Germany over Bis
marck's continued enforcement OF his edict
Of exile Of Russian Poles from Prussia con-
tinues unabated. Great relief committees
have been sent to assist the unfortunate
exiles at Limberg, Posen and Cracow. The
relief committee at the latter city reports
that 2,OOO Poles in one Russian settlement
were recently ordered to settle up their af-
fairs there and quit Prussia without delay.
A majority of these are Roman Catholics.
aud many Of them have lived in Prussia 20
long that they have forgotten their native
language. They have all been compelled
to sell their property in haste, and specu-
lators in the favor Of the local officials have
taken such advantage of the situation that
very little Of the property thus forced upon
the market has brought more than one
fourth of its value. To make matters
worse, Russia has issued an order prohibit
ing the entry Of these exiles into the czar's
domain, unless they can prove that they
were born therein. In consequence or this,
there are encamped at one place on the
frontier 800 e,tiled Poles; penniless, home
less and most miserable, without the right
at hard labor staring them in the face II
they dare to return.
Servia has declared war against Bulgaria.
The Servian government has informed NJ.
Rangahe, the acting Servian agent in Bull
garia, that in consequence OF the uniustifia-
BILE attacks on Servians by Bulgarians, Ser
via has decided to declare war against Bull
pOvpSn kSS Rans.c he

10000 roubles to FRINGE Alexander
The British authorities have issued procla-
nation to natives of Burmah assuring them
none will be molested in trading, religious
or other privileges, and all native, civil and
military officers will be retained as long as
they remain loyal, but will be punished II
they maltreat Englishmen.
Despite the adverse criticisms made by
the editors Of the great London dailies on
Mr.. Gla,.s' ones treatment Of the disestab-
lishment i>s.n ! cannot be denied that he
has succcc' IN largely convincing the
churchmen in England that the church is
NOT threatened with immediate attack, nor
that he has pretty we'll convinced the
Scotch voters that for them the issue is d
separate one, and within their own con-
troll. The result is becoming apparently
advantageous to the Liberal cause. The
ex-premier's great speech has stopped the
stampede from the Liberal party, which
was taking to the Tory side thousands who
had begun to deem it their duty to 60 that
| way to save the Church of England, and it
will undoubtedly bring back to the Liberal
ranks large proportion Of deserters. By
his admission to the Scotch that SO far as
they were concerned he was willing to
bring the question of disestablishment to
an issue whenever they desired it, 1t is
thought Mr.. Gladstone has really strength
ened his following in Scotland.

persons convicted in the Eliza Armstrong
abduction case, lr. Stead, editor of the
Pail Mall Gazette, three months; Rebecca
Jarrett, six months; Sampson Jacques

with hard labor. Mr.. Stead says he
had fair trial, that he does not lquarrell
with the verdict and will not attic mpt to
have the sentence set aside.
