National Movement Is Spreading Among the People of the Once Great Kingdom.
THREE NATIONS AFFECTED
Austria, Russia, and Germany Would Be Embarrassed if the Outbreak Should Come.

    LONDON, Wednesday, Oct. 30.— A Vienna dispatch to The Dally Mail says:
    "For the first time since Napoleon's invasion of Russia, a hundred years ago, the White Eagle of Poland is raising its head and looking to the threatened conflict between Austria and Russia to free the Polish Nation from the hated Russian yoke.
    "While the eyes of Europe are riveted on the battlefields of Thrace and Macedonia, a great national movement is spreading in Poland. Its aim is to unite all the Poles in common action for the possible outbreak of hostilities between Russia and Austria.
    "The Polish Nation numbers 25,000,000, of whom 12,000,000 are Russian subjects, over 6,000,000 Austrian subjects inhabiting Galicia, and 4,000,000 Prussian subjects. There are 2,000,000 Poles in America."
    The information upon which the correspondent bases the foregoing is somewhat slim, being to the effect that meetings are taking place all over Galicia with a view to removing the political differences existing between the different parties in Poland and between the Poles and Ruthenians.
