OUTRAGE BY POLES.
(Reuter.') LONDON, July 6. There was a stormy debate in the Polish Diet when Scheffer related happenings at an anti-Jewish pogrom at Cholm, where there were dreadful scenes. When the Poles attacked a women’s hath, women plunged into the water, but were compelled by men armed with rifles to emerge, whereupon many were severely flogged by the soldiers, who attempted to drive the naked women on to the streets. The women resisted, and were beaten with whips and rifle butts.
