LONDON, June 1S.-The Shah of Persis
crossed the channel to-day in the Royal
yacht, accompanied by a fleet of iron ciads,
and arrived st Dover at 2:30 P. M. The
dock was gaily decorated and crowded with
visitors and the shipping in the harbor was
covered with flags and streaplers. As the
Royal visitor landed salutes were fred from
the feet aud the shore. He was received
by the Duke of Edinburgh and Prince
Arthur. The Mayor and corporation then
presented an address, to which the Shah
replied by thanking them for this kind re-
ception on entering her Msjesty's domin-
ions, a reception, he said, which made Lin
feel be was among friends.
The Shah and su tie accompanied by the
royal princes took special train for London
and arrived at Charlng Cross Station at 6
O'Clock. The station was festooned with
flowers, and the platform covered with
crimson cloth. A heavy rain prevailed, but
immense crowds surrounded the place and
fill ed the adjacent streets. On alighting
from the cars the Shah was met by the
Prince of Wales, Prince Teck, Prince
Christian and the Duke of Cambridge, who
cordially welcomed him to England. The
entire party then entered carriages and
drove slowly to the Marlborough house.
Notwithstanding the inclenent weather,
which somewhat marred the splendor of
the spectacle, the streets, windows and
house tops along the line of the procession
well filed with people, who kept up the
most enthusiastic cheering. The Shah
dined at the Marlborough house tonight
with the Prince of Wales.
Mount Calvary
Correspondence from Jerusalem saws
that the geological plate, just completed by
the Oriental Typographical Corps no" en-
gagged in making surveys and sketches of
the bible lands, shows that the exposed and
skull shaped line of the upper strata of the
hill outside Damascus gate and near the
north wall of Jerusalem is strongly sug-
gestiVe of Golgatha, tie place OF skulls.
This supports the theory of this hill being
Calvary. The Oriental Typographical
Corps have arranged by means of telegraph
from Joppa to Jerusalem, for accurate bar
ometric vertifcation of attitudes on the coast
between the Mediterranean and Dead Sea.
