POLISH EXTIRPATION.
DEADLOCK IN GERMAN POLAND. OVER THE LANGUAGE LAW. Received 28th, 4.36 p.m. Berlin, October 27. Herr Von Tchirshky, German Minister of Foreign Affairs, visited the Pope. The visit is suppposed to be largely connected with the deadlock in German Poland, where the Archbishop of Posen was fiercely attacked for urging parents to supplement in Polish at home the instruction the children received in German at the schools. Twenty thousand children in Bromberg district, obeying parents, refused religious instruction in German, Many Polsh parents elsewhere are allowing their children to be detained and flogged, rather than consent to their receirng religious instruction in German. A Polish fanatic threw a bomb filled with petroleum at a school at Bentschew, and the structure was burnt. [The policy of Russia and Germany ,wka regard to their Polish domin ions, w to discourage the Polish language. Amongst the numerous degradations to which foreign domination subjects the Poles, thcro is none to which they appear more sensible than this attempt to complete their national destruction by the extirpation of their native tongue.]
