BIRCH FOR POLITICIAN.
ELECTORS SHOW DISAPPROVAL. Warsaw, March 1. Michael Marek, a peasant Deputy to the Polish Diet, returned to his constituency at Lipowa (Galicia) to give an account of his stewardship. He gave satisfaction until he mentioned that he voted for the establishment of an Upper House. A self-appointed committee awarded him 25 strokes of the birch, which was administered -with a warning that a further stroke would be administered later for every member of the Upper House appointed.—(A. and N.Z.)
