SCENES IN GALICIA.
POLES INCENSED. KAISER BURNED IN EFFIGY BY MOB. ATTACKS ON GERMAN CONSUL. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received December 4, 0.23 a.m.) VIENNA. December 3. Poles at Lemberg, chief town of the Austrian province of Galicia and Lo.domeria, formerly part of Poland, made a demonstration against the Po-ll-h legislation proposed by the Prussian Government.
Tho Kaiser was burned in effigy, and crowds smashed the windows of a hotel in which the German Consul was residing.
Prince Buelow, President of the Prussian Diet, last week introduced a Bill asking for a credit of seventeen and a half millions sterling for the purpose of further Germanising tho Polish province by expropriating the land of Polish owners. Prince Buelow declared that there was no hope of the Government abandoning tho policy which Prince Bismarck had initiated in 1886, of purchasing Polish estates to be settled by Germans. Polish members and the Centre party strongly opposed tho Bill.
