Extreme Measures viii Be Used.

Berlin, April 9.-Carrying under
Prussias new program in the Polish
provinces, as outlined a few days ago
in the reichsanzeiger, Count Won Bue-
low, the imperial chancellor, has
promised the centrists, or clerical
party, political aid in upper Silesia,
where the centre, until lately, had al
ways elected all the candidates and
dispensed all the political patronage.
Now, however, the Polish national
agitation threatens to wrest the whole
province away from the centre. The
Prussian government will send the
powerful German Hakatist society to
assist the centre politically wherever
otherwise Polish candidates would be
elected. The society controls and dis
poses of millions of money.
