Existence of a Secret Polish
League in Chicago.
Is StOutly Denied by Men Prom
inent in Polish Circles.
AFFIRMED BY OTHERS.
Instructions OF the Past Have
Taught Them a Lesson.
Revolution to Be Brought About
on Different Lines.

Chicago, Feb 21.-Polish citizens of
Chicago are divided on the question of
the existence of a secret league to free
Poland in case of war between Russia
and England or at any time in the near
future. The news of the recent ar
rests in Lemberg and the statements by
prominent Poles in this city are the
principal topics of discussion among
Poles. Some deny that there
exists such secret society,
others say there is such a league, but
that its purposes are not to secure
Poland's freedom by insurrection and
the third support the revolutionary
views of Frank H. Jablonski. president
of the Polish National Alliance.
Alderman John F. Smulski, a prom
inent Pole, spoke as follows:
Il have noticed a number of items
concerning the recent arrests of sup
posed Polish revOlutionists in Warsaw
organization in Chicago which is sup
posed to cooperate with the conspira-
tors in Warsaw and Lemberg. AS one
individual L wish to deny the existence
OF any secret organization in this city.
In saying this I feel satisfied that the
vast majority of the Polish residents
in this city are of the same opinion.
and the Poles now resident under the
governments of Russia, Germany and
Austria who are led by men of mature
though and experience, certainly ap-
preciate the present situation. They
know that such a movement would be
impossible and could only result in
greater prosecutions and that a move
ment to overthrow the governments of
Russia, Germany and Austria would be
madness.
I'VE have had three revolutions by
force of arms. They were all unsuc-
cessful. Every one of the instructions
resulted each time in prosecutions and
deportation of thousands of men and
families to Siberia, conf1scation of
property, countless executions and the
devastation of the country
'"fhe three former unsuccessful at
tempts have taught the Polish people
to be cautious. Since 1863 they have
commenced to plan a fourth inSurrec-
tiOn and that is an insurrection which
by a result of thought, energy, en-
iightenment. and education will yield
a moral influence sufficient to force
their enemies to recognize in -hem a
nation strong enough in mind, virtue
and intelligence to govern themselves
We are against all secret political con-
Spiracies. 1t is the ideal of every Pole
to see his country free and to secure its
freedom, not by political conspiracies,
but by rational, constant and untiring
education of the masses and to bring
about this last insurrection of moral
and mental power"
Stephen w Barszczewski, editor OF
Zagoda, said:
There is a secret Polish league,
which is organized for the purpose OF
creating and nurturing a patriotic Po-
lish current among Polish youth and to
encourage love for Poland. I do not
believe, however, that they are now
planning an insurrection to free Po-
land"

CARNEGIE RETURNS.
His Big Lawsuit Causes Him to Aban-
don Southern Vacation.

New York, Feb. 21.-Andrew Carnegie
returned to New York early last night
and went directly to his home. He
would not say a word about his plans
or the litigation in prospect.
Mr.. Carnegie. according to dispatches
received in this city yesterday was to
go directly to Pittsburg from Florida,
but instead of that he came to New
York in order to have talk with Chas.
Schwab, president of the Carnegie COM
pany. before going to Pittsburg. He
wants to become thoroughly familiar
with every phase of the Frick case be-
fore he goes to Pittsburg to take up the
matter. Mr.. Schwab has been in the
city for several days. He has declined
to talk, but he has been in constant
communication with Mr.. Carnegie and
with his representative in Pittsburg. 1t
was deemed advisable, both by Mr.. Car
negie and Mr.. SchWab to have confer
ence in New York rather than in Pitts
burg. 1t is expected that either tonight
or Thursday both Mr.. Carnegie and Mr..
Schwab will go to Pittsburg.
