LONDON, July 23,-The announcement from
Teheran OF the serious illness of Nassar-Ed>

cal speculation in London az 10 the political
probabilities In the event of his death.
Though Persia is tho most remote of tho

view has constantly engaged the attention of
European statesmen more especially those Of
Russia and England. each Of which Govern
meuts has repeatedly sought 10 conclude
With the Persian monarch q treaty Of COM
merce 40 the entering wedge to greater en-
croachments upon his territory.

ooncuoines 40 officer In the Persian army. a.
his successor, Instead Of the rightful heir.
Mouzsaffer-E -Ed-Din. his legitimate son. This
raised tremendous row and the Shah finally
yielded 10 the opposition and abandoned
his idea. The matter WIS kept as quiet
as possible, but those who were Awsre Of il
nscribed the Shah'saction 10 ku ussian intrigue
The seeds of discord having been thus sown
the likelihood OF an uprising III favor on the
pretonder after the death Of the Shah is not
remote. and Just such a circumstance is what
Is more feared by English statesmen.
Russia has Thousands Of troops on
the frontier OF Persia within easy marching

England three months H. get troops there il
their presence should DO necessary. Should
any disturbances occur ia Persia through

that the Shahs illness Ia indeed serione.
