GENERAL SUMMARY.

,- J, S. Shans 1 wool warehouse in Bradford, England, was burned on July 3. The loss was £50,000. An extraordinary story which is said to have been the cause for a tradesman effecting an insurance against the royal wedding not taking place is related in the American summary as follows. It is that between four and five years ago George, the Duke of York, was married by the Roman Catholic ritual to a daughter of a British naval officer of high rank and that , there are children by the marriage. It is told by a ladylj that one Week before the marriage a letter received lrom Princess May was being shown about in Court circles in which tha Princess said to her titled lady correspondent that she knew all about the whole affair. The German Emperor is delighted at the passage of the Army BUI, and rumor has it that he will confer on Mr Caprivi the dignity of Prince. The Jews of Yalta, on the Crimea, refused to obey the decree and retire to their homes. For several days an antiJewish mob broke into houses occupied by Jews. The Jews fought back and dozens were dragged into the streets beaten, and many were killed. The houses owned by the Jews were plundered and wrecked. Troops were called to restore order. None of the rioters were killed, but a few were injured.
