DRIVEN OUT OF POLAND.

The Persecution of Jews by the Russian* Still Continues. Darkest Russia, a London monthly publication, announces that Russian persecution of the Jews is extending to Poland It says that 480 families have been expelled from the Ronda-Gonzowskl district alone. All the heads of families thus treated were engaged in trade and possessed more or less real estate, which they were forced to abandon. Some of the expelled families, Darkest Russia asserts, have already passed through London on their way either to America or to Cape Town, South Africa. Most of these people are educated and are well supplied with money. A correspondent learns that this driving out of the Jews is not a new outburst of persecution on the part of the Russian authorities, but is merely the outcome of measures that Gen. Gourko initiated six months ago.
