THE EMPIRE OF PERSIA.

Now that there is rum0r afioat
that Russia is about TO send an ulti-
matum in order to arrest the anti
Russian policy of the Persian Gov
ernment, it would be but proper
that the readers of the "Washin9-
ton Press" should know what the
Empire of Persia was in the past
ages and what it is to-day.
The empire of Persia has 800
years of existence; has produced
such great men as Darius, Cyrus,
Arthaserses, Sappur, Zoroastro, and
Nadiz Shah, the last of whom lived
in the time Of Peter the Great of
Russia. In ancient times the from
tiers of Persia extended through
Turkestan to the borders of China,
and Armenia, Caucasus, and AZ
ghanistan belonged to the Persian
empire, and Batum on the Black
Sea was Persian port.
The Persian empire of to-day is
under the rule of Emperor Nasser-
ul-din-Shah, born in the year 1880
of the Kajar dynasty and succeeded
to his father, the Emperor Moham-
med Shah, in the year lS48 of our
era and l247 of the hegyra.
The population of Persia is at
present about 20, 900, 900 with about
10, 100000 more dispersed all over
Asia, especially in Turkey, Russia,
and India, where they are promi-
nent bankers and merchants, and
they are best known as the most po-
lite and most digniied native gentle
men of Asia. The army, composed
of all arms, is 30, 900 strong of well
built, brave, disciplined, and robust
men, and very faithful to their SOW
ereign.
The Persian nation processes the
Mohammedan religion with the eX-
ception of few Jews, Armenians,
IIindocs, and Zoroastrians, better
known as the Fire Worshippers.
The Persians are proud of their
great ancestors and of their glorious
history, and while they are very
courteous in manners and of beneVo-
lent character they will resent very
quickly an insult or II want of po-
liteness toward them. The Per-
slams are a very interesting race,
which improves on acquaintance.
The Pcrsians, like all the Muosul-
mans, are very honorable, chiVal-
Tous, hosptable, and generous
hearted people.
The present Emperor, Nasser-ul-
din Shah, is great man, OF proud
nature, with the best blood OF the
ancients in his veins and the spirit
Of the moderns in his brains, has
made twice the tour of Europe, and
has three sons, viz. the crown
prince, Mozefferdn Mira, COVER
nor Of the province of Aderbaijan,
in the northwest of Persia, near the
river AaTas, which divides Persia
from Turkey and Russia. The sec
ond son, Prince Messoud Mira
Zellol-Sullan, is the governor of the
province of llyspahan, bordering
the Persian gulf in the southi the
third son, Prince Kameran Mira,
is the minister of war of the EN-
pire,
The empire of Persia has an area
of 1000 square miles of territory
! and is divided into fourteen pro-

FULL STATEMENT TO COME.

As intimated in yesterdays issue,
the Finance Minister'S statement of
expenditures for the quarter ending
Dec. 81, 1888, does not give enough
particulars to satisfy some tax pay
ers. For their benefit we would
state that we have authority for say
ing that it is the Minister'S inten-
tion to publish II statement for the
year, containing full particulars, at
the close of the financial year, Mar.
81, 1889, and for that reason de-
tails have been omitted from the
quarterly statement that would
otherwise have been included.

vinces, governed by governors and
pashas, who are sons, brothers, and
relatives of the reigning emperor,
who is the supreme ruler, politically
as well as religiously.
The frontiers of Persia are, in the
south, the Persian gulf and Belo-
chistan, which is twO-thirds under
the rule of Persia, and onc-third
under British India; on the west
with Turkey in Asia Minor; on the
north, with Russia on the Caspian
Sea, and on the east, with Afghan
istan.
The public schools are very num-
erous in Persia, and, besides the
Persian language, the French, Eng
lish, Russian, German, Arabic, and
Turkish languages are taught.
There are in Persia many large
cities, such as Teheran, Hyspahan,
Tauric, Meshed, Shiranz, Iezed,
Herman, ETC., with good seaperts,
both on the Persian gulf, in the
south, and on the Caspian sea, on
the north.
Persia has superb climate and
fertile land, producing cotton, silk,
opium, rice, indigo, tobacco, grapes
and fruits of all kinds, and large
amount of them are dried and sent
to Russia; mines of gold, silver,
copper, iron, sulphur, petroleum,
and turQuoises, which are not yet
| properly developed. The country
is well stocked with good horses
mixed with Arabian blood, mules,
camels, and large quantity of cattle
and other quadrupeds.
Railroads have begun to he built
in Persia, street cars run through
Teheran, Gaz; telephone and tele-
graph are used in Persia, which is
awake now and is ready to receive
the benefit of all the modern inven.
tiOns. The Persians are a progrcs,
sive nation, and under the reign Ct
the present emperor, Nasser-ul-din
Persia has made wonderful progress
and the European and American
civilizations will make their head
way triumphantly in the vast en-
pire of the shahs. 1t has been il
view of all this that the Persian
monarch has sent as his minister tc
the United States Hadji HusseiI
Gouly Khan, a noble parsonage o
high rank and the son of the prime
minister (visir) of Persia in 1857
when war broke out between Eng
land and Persia.
The empire of Persia has treaties
and diplomatic relations with Italy
Russia, France, England, Germany
Turkey, Holland, and the United
States, and Persia has a minister II
all those countries except Holland
and desires TO expand her relations
and communications with all th
nations of the world. Persia i

Persia, like China, Japan, Corea
and Siam. is one of the greatest in

wer. At any rate it stands tor as jolly a

no little complaint in social circles that
the young gentlemen OF the village are
lacking somewhat in gallantry. They
attend dancing parties, sociables and
other evening entertainments, but too
often alone, and of course, they expect to
find the young ladies present, but appar-
emily give little heed as to how they are
to get there. In rebuke of this policy Of
selfshness the Guess What club gave q
dancing party at Odd Fellows hall on
Friday evening at which not single
young gentleman was invited and a ollier

CoNGREHILARITY.-On Friday evening
last Grand Army hall was well filled with
members of the order and of the Women s
Relief Corps, and other ladies and gentle
men for the purpose of extending con-
gratulations to Gov. Barto, who had
been elected commander ofthe Minnesota
department of the Grand Army. After
the crowd assembled a committee con-
Ssting of Messrs. Jacques, Kells and Hen
dryx was appointed to summon the COM
handkerchief to the hall and upon his ap-
pearance Mr.. Jacques introduced him with
4 ringing speech. He told Of the pro-
ceedngs of the Grand Army encampment
which resulted in the selection of Gov.
Barto and the universal satisfaction in
the order which the election gave. He
was followed by James A. Norris, Chas
F. Hendryx and Gel. E. Bridgrnan, all of
whom extended the warmcst greetings
and congratulations on behalf ofthe post
and the citizens. Space will not admit
of a detailed report of the speeches. Gov
Barto was deeply affected by the warmth
of the eulogies and the expressions of
pleasure at the honor accorded him and
made an eloquent response. He said it
gave him more pleasure to receive such
an ovation from his neighbors and per-
sonal friends and acquaintenances at
home than from all other sources. He
dwe!t at some length upon the order, its
condition and its objects. it was pleas
ant affair and a cordial tribute to a
friend and neighbor who is held in uni
