Prince Radziwill, Cardinal Kopp, and other Polish magnates in the Upper House of the Diet have warned Prince Buelow, the Imperial Chancellor, of the danger under the Posen Expropriation Bill of infringing the rights of property, and exciting mistrust and disaffection.

The Bill was referred to a committee. The Prussian Government recently asked tho Diet to vote 400,000,000 marks (£20,000,000) for the expropriation of lands from Polish owners in iVest Prus- : fiia and Posen. Considerable opposition was shown, and Prince Buelow accepted I a suggestion to modify tho vote to 275,000,000 marks (£13,750,000).
