The Shah has heard Of the result Of the
late war. He feels NO more confidence in
the officers now instructing his troops. He
says Prusian officer or none, and Prus-
sian officer he will have. A Prussian Colonel
is being or has been engaged to inetil into
the Persian soldiers the strategy Of Marshal
Moltka and perhaps Bismarckian annexa-

NEW YoRK, Sept. 6.-At the interview
held with the President, yesterday, BY the
Yarmouth, Louisiana, Republican Delega-
ton, they unanimously assured the President
that unless the offending officers were re-
moved, the State of Louisiana was irrevoc-
ably lost to the party. The President pro-
missed that q strict inquiry into the charge,
would be made and suitable action taken.
He denied that he received kilograms, asking
for Instructions, from Packard, and was un-
aware that the troops had been used until he
saw the statements in the newspapers. The
delegates express their satisfaction with the
reception they met and say they do not de-
sire Yarmouth men for any new appoint
ment, and decline to commit themselves on
the question of the denomination Of President
Grant.

SYRACUSE, Sept. 6.-The State COnven.
ton of the Anti Dram shop Party was held
here to-day. c. c. Lie9le, Of New York,
was made President Of the Convention, and
on taking the chair made speech prophecy
| ing that if drunkenness increased In the next
decade as rapidly as it had in the past, in q
quarter of a century the Republican institu-
tons would be overthrow; that the political
action of both parties was now controlled by
the dram shop, and if this thing continues
the people will seek refuge by calling some
Imperial monster or king to save them. He
had no hope either Of the Democrats or Re-
publicans He had been one of the fathers
Of the Republican Party, but was obliged to
confess that the management of that party,
especially in his section Of the State, was left
to as great a set of scallywags and williams AZ
ever cursed any party::leaders of the Rspubl-
can party; they were bought and sold by
the rammany Ring the same as beefsteak
and chops in the market. The only hope
for the temperance cause, he said, WAS in
separate political action, relying ON Provi-
dence for the result.
Rev. A. c. Rose, from the Business Com
mittee, reported the declaration principles of
the Anti Dram shop Party. They decidedly
oppose, among Others, that form of law en-
titled local prohibition, which allows the
majority Of voters in any town or county to
legalize and establish dram shops, believing
the State has no right to legalize crime or
endowering number OF her citizens with
the right to make that which Is morally
wrong virtually right.
