EVENTS IN POLAND.
A STATE OP EMERGENCY.
BTBINGENT LEGISLATION,
WARSAW, June 7.
Dispatches from Warsaw state that the Cabinet has authorised the Polish Minister of the Interior to proclaim a state of emergency in the former German districts of Posen and Pomerania.
This step is due to a revolutionary agitation which has been started by German Chauvanists.
The decree forbids open-air meetings and empowers the authorities to restrict street traffic.
It also provides for the confiscation of foreign newspapers if their contents endanger th« security of the State.
The Warsaw correspondent of the "Times" says that in the presence of Marshal Pilsudski, who sat aloof from the other Ministers, Dr. Moszicki was sworn in as President of Poland.
The ceremony took place in the battlescarred castle of Zamek instead of in the Parliamentary Chamber, Pilsudski having changed the venue at the last minute. — (Reuter.)
