Private letters from Poeen and Silesia describe the present ex pulsion by Germany, at Russia's request, of Russian Poles from those provinces, as being attended by the most cruel and heartrending incidents. Many of the Poles who are now being driven out bave been settlers in German territory for many years, and had thoroughly identified themselves with local in terests. Most of them went to Posen and Silesia to escape from intolerable despotism at home. The decrees of expulsion issued by Herr von Puttkamer, German Minister of the In terior, arlects about 30,000 Poles resident in Germany. Eight thousand of these have al ready been arrested without warning and conducted to the German frontier by Prus sian troops.

Tbe remainder of the 30,000 ordered out of the Empire consist of those who bad obtained permits of settlement The de cree of expulsion gives these a short respite in order to allow them time to settle up their aflairs, dispose of their property, and other wise prepare ior extradition. Whole villages bave already been depopu lated and their refugee inhabitants turned over to the Russian authorities at the Ger man frontier. Numbers of the poor Poles are fleeing into Austria to escape enforced return to tbe land or their birtb. Tbe news of this cruelty bas cast the chill of despair through out Russian Poland. It is ail interpreted by the Viennese as a freh evidence of the bind ing nature of the present connection between Germany and Russia and of their united policy to entirely suppress the Polish nation ality.

BEECHER'S REED. The Famous Preacher not an Kvolutlonlst but Progressist, Bkooklvn, May 24. Rev. Henry Ward Beecher began a series of sermons on "Evolu tion" at Plymouth Church this morning. The edifice was crowded.

Mr. Beecher said he saw no bridge between the human race and tbe animal kingdom in their origin. Man bad gradually grown up from barbaric condition. Man appeared on earth ages be fore the time given in Christian history. The first people to gain any knowledge of God were tbe Hebrew race.the people on whom all the Christian world to-day impress their feet.

Gradually men bave found God by experience- God gave no instructions to man originally, but left him to find out everything tor him self. The only revelation was after man had gained some idea of moral quality. The rest of Mr. Beecher's sermon was a demonstration of tbe development of tbe idea of God in the mind of men.

PERILOUS VOYAGK OF OF BKKLIN. THE CITY Collision With An Ice Mountain on tbe Banks Bow Stove In Fifteen Hundred Passengers in a Panic. New York, May 24. The carefulness and coolness of Captain Land, of the Inmam steamship City of Berlin, prevented what might have been the mysterious loss of that vessel and nearly 1500 lives on Tuesday morning last. At 3.35 A.M.

as tbe steamer was going at half speed, being near the edge of the banks of Newfoundland, in latitude 43 30, and loneitnde 40 30', the sailors on the lookout on tbe forecastle deck suddenly saw a white object looming high in the dense fog which had bung over tbe vessel since eight P. M. on Monday. They shouted "An iceberg! an iceberg!" and ran aft. aptain Land, who was on the bridge with Chief Otticer Tarleton and Second Officer Barker at once telegraphed tbe signal to re verse tbe engines, but before they could be stopped tbe great ship crashed bow on into an immense iceberg.

The bowsprit was smashed into splinters, the pressure upon its stump tearing up tbe deck for ten feet aft. The figure-bead was knocked on, the prow was stove in even with the stem, the upper plates were ripped open almost to tbe collision bulkheads twenty feet aft of the stem, and forty tons of broken ice were hurled down upon tbe dec K. The passengers leaped from their berths in great fright. In the steerage they were seized with a temporary panic, which was, however, soou subdued. Those in the cabin were quickly reassured by the surgeon and some of the passengers who had been on deck.

Tbe boats and life-rafts were made ready for launching, but a hasty examination showed that the damage was all confined to the apar deck. Henry K. Abbey, who was one of the pas sengers, slept through the confusion until he was awakened by the purser, who asked him if he would not like to see an iceberg. Then be went on deck, and fcr about forty seconds, during which the fog lifted, he had a view of the big mass of ice. It was about 150 feet high by 400 or 50ft feet long, and looked like two mountains wita a valley between them.

The vessel lay to for abont forty minutes and then went on her way. About forty or tbe passengers met Captain Land at the Union Square Hotel yesterday afternoon, and Edgar Stanton, United States Consul-General at St. Petered or who was one of the passengers, gave him a costly gold watch in their behalf- Captain Land responded in a short speech. After giving an account of toe co.lielon with the iceberg. Captain Land said to a reporter: "Tbe ocean in literally packed with icebergs between 41 and 50 north latitude, and 45 and 50 west longitude.

I have never seen so many before. I think tbat the berg we struck is aground on the edge of tbe Banks, and tbat it is tbe same one on which the R. W. Merriam was lately wrecked. There was no panic aboard- The cabin pas sengers were quickly reassured by the surgeon, and tbe purser quieted the fears of the steerage passengers.

A dozen men were at work yesterday tear ing away tbe wreckage of the steamship's bow, and she will be ready to sail on her return trip next week. TWO MONTHS WITHOUT FOOD. The Case That Is Puzzling South Carolina Physicians. Columbia, S. May 24.

The physicians wbo are attending Miss Lulu West, a young lady of Laurens, S. as well as visiting physicians, are greatly puzzled over the condition cf tbe patient.

BA SKET8 OF MAIIONK HEADS FALL- IN IN VIRGINIA. All Must Go A "Mistake" tbat Was Made In Mississippi Presidential Appointments Miscellaneous Washington Despatches. Washington, May 24. The Postmaster- General yesterday made about one hundred appointments of fourth class postmasters. The list is not yet accessible, but it is under stood that many of the appointments were made to till vacancies caused by the removal of Virginia postmasters.

Portmaster-Gene- ral Has is making as nearly a "clean sweep" as possible in Virginia, weeding out Mahone's postmasters and putting in Democrats at a rapid rate. An Indiana postmaster or the fourth-class, whose resignation was received at the Post Ollice Department yesterday, states that he was appointed during President Polk ad ministration, and has served continuously for forty years. He recommended a Democrat as bis successor. Some of his Democratic friends regret that he lound it necessary to make C. R.

May 24. Geronimo's band of fifty Apaches, who left the San Carlos re servation, have already commenced to mark their flight with blood. Two men were killed on Eagle Creek Tuesday night, and in the little mining camp of Alma, in the Sierra de I'Aguilda Mountains, on the Rio San Francisco, a party of miners were surprised at work, and lour ot them were killed and scalped.

Old man Brenton cannot be found, and Dod, wbo followed up tbe Indians, believes that he has been killed. Five miles further on, at the Gorman ranch, the owner was found murdered and his body mutilated. The In dians had also been at Montgomerv's and Welch's, where they destroyed everything. Being dark, Dod did not look for bodies, but hastened on to Alma. His horse shied often along the roads of the trail, on which were a number of dead horses and, he believes, the bodies of men also.

The Indians crossed the San Francisco river at a point five miles north of Alma, on Friday, and as the settlers had not been notified of the outbreak, many of them have undoubtedly been murdered. Dod states that Creach and McGurren started back on Wednesday for the 11 a nip- son ranch, from which no news has yet been received.

New Haven, May 24 Ou the night ol March 24 tbe Vale students bad a jollification on the campus, and a bonfire blazed to the top of South College. The whole neighborhood was bright as day with the light, and a crowd of students made the air ring with their boisterous glee and shouts. Tbe innocent cause of these tumultuous prj ceedings was President Cleveland a appoint ment ot Professor Phelps as Minister to bog- land. Policeman Selleck stood out on Chapel street near tne campus and watched the un restrained hilariousness until it got so ob jectionable, in his opinion, that he decided to stop it.

HER Earl of RosGbery Sent to Consult With Bismarck About tbe Situation Egyptian Backing Especially Wanted. London, May 4. The relations between England and Germany are just at present of paramount importance. England is not strictly isolated, as she has an ally in Italy, so far as Egypt is concerned, bat with Germany hostile, Italy's sympathy must necessarily be unavailable. As a consequence, intense interest is felt both here and on the Continent in the result of Earl Rosebery's viit to Berlin, lie arrived there on Friday m.d was received at the railway station, not Prince Bismarck, as reported, but by Count Herbert Bismarck, who accompanied hi id to the Kalserhot Hotel, where apartments had been secured for him.

It is stated that this conference was about Egyptian a flairs only. A Constantinople despatch says tbe Council cf Ministers to-day discussed Eirl Granville's note to Musnrus Pacha, the Turkish Am-stssador in London, in connection with the proposed Turkish occupation of Suakim and other Red Sea ports of Egypt. Earl Granville declares that if Turkey refuses to agree to this proposition England will be compelled to make arrangements for the occupation of the places by some civilized Power. The note adds that as soon as order and a stable government shall have been established in Egypt the British troops will be withdrawn from the country.

Meantime the evacuation of the Soudan is steadily progressing. The transports which bave been lying or) Suakin laden with plant for the abandoned Berber railway have lifted anchors and departed with their cargoes for England.
