Paris, July 8.-The great jewel mer-

or Amsterdam have been thrown into a.
panic over well defined rumor that
the collection Of precious stones belong

placed on sale In the open market.
1t is well-known fact-duly regis.
tered In the Almanac de Gotha Of jewels
-that the Leeds collection Is one Of the
most valuable in the world-outrivnling
many collections of European crown
Jewels-and to be thus put up at auc-
tion might have the effect Of breaking
the worlds jewel market, which Is often
OF fictitious value in the best of times,
and would In that event cause many
houses great financial embarrassment.
The reasons assigned for the proposed
sale are Of great political significance.
Princess Anastasia recently underwent
two operations and now is living in
Paris and is considering the likelihood
OF going under the surgeons knife for
the third time. The wedding of her
eighteen year old son. William Leeds.
Jr., with the Princess Xenia Of Greece,
has been postponed until Princess Ana
stasia's health will permit her to attend
the ceremony
Tho greatest efforts nre being made
to preserve the life % the former Mrs.
Leeds until the wedding is a fact. 1t
