or neighboriDg organs. At times, symp-
toms Of indigestion are present, as hatu-

ANCIENT PERSIA.
A Bill Passed by the House Pro-
YtdIng for the Establishment
Of Commercial Relations
with Her.
Special to the oourler.Journal.

NAA haAe
WASHINGTON, August 3.-Among
the bills that passed the House to day
is one providing for the establishment
of commercial relations with Persia,
by appointment of a Minister Resi-
dent and Consul General, the two off,
ces to be combined in one official, with
a salary Of $4,000. 1t passed the
House without opposition, and Mr..
Window said this afternoon that he
would have it taken up in the morning
it possible, and he saw no reason why
it would not pass the Senate with the
same unanimity. 1t appears that
while the other great powers are all
represented at the court of the Shah
the United States has never been.
though there is a treaty of
thirty years standing, which
establish cordial relations, and as late
as the Kurdish war, which imperiled
the lives of American missionaries,
America was invited, through Minis
ter Foster at st. Petersburg, to send a
representative. In fact the whole mat
ter grew indirectly out of the anxiety
for American missionaries, some thirty
or forty ofwhom are scattered over the
ancient empire. Representative Dawes,
OF Ohio, has a sister among them, the
wife Of REV. j. FL. Shedd, at Oroomiah.
and he fears that Mohammedan fanat.
icism, provoked by the troubles in
Egypt, may lead to some danger in
that quarter. Chairman Williams.
of the Foreign Relations Committee
of the House, will have this as a
mark of credit if it becomes a
law. Governor Curtin, to whom Mr..
Dawes surrendered his time, spoke
~eloquently Of the propriety Of the new
relations, showing the possibility Of
commercial importancein establishing
a market for American cotton, petro-
leum and other products that now
reach that country under English
official stamps. But what seems the
most important, after all, is the oppor
tunity for giving some american
scholar, with a fancy for the research,
an opportunity to join in the important
developments now being made through
the Persian and ancient Semitic Ian
guages. Scholars now at Teheran,
where our Minister will bo, are
reading the language in which
King David sang and gave COM
mands and in which Christ taught.
and there is an ample field for working
among the buried treasures of four
thousand years ago, when King CYRUS
scattered the Assyrians. Indeed. the
proposition carries one back to the
time when Belshazzar and his mobiles
painted Babylon red and Nebucbad-
nezzar originated the granger move
ment. VI course it will soon follow
that a Persian Minister will come to
Washington, and it may be with a
glittering %retinue and presents Of
shawls and things, to outshine the
silks OF the ultra oriental Chinese and
teach us luxurious ways that will
amuse us for a season, as we 20 on To

by filling his hide with mean gin and
hung his right coat tail over the
handle Of his pistol. Ants and little
men were warned to get out of the way
as Wright had dug up the Ratchet
and put on his war paint. A little
darky happened along about this
time and Wright drew his pistoI
and ordered him to come to him.
The boy saw fit to obey, and walked
up to Wright, looking down the muz

amusing himself for awhile by slap.

Attorney General Turner made an
argument this morning in the case Of
Charles Williams, the darky who shot

The evidence was that Williams
pointed the weapon first at Mollie

aside, pointed it at Jennie Graham,

away before he killed somebody. He
continued to point it a6 her, however,
