who can find no similar phenomena in tho
contemporaneous records OF Islam.
As regards the prospects OF Christianity In
Persia. Mr.. Curzon's testimony Is that tho
missions are complete failures He often in
quired for a converted Mussulman. but was
never able to find ono: he excludes. OF
course. those derellcts or orphans OF Mussul-
man parents. who are brought up from child
hood in Christian schools No objection how
ever. Is raised by the Governme ont to tho set
tlement Of missions or the building OF schools.
chapels. and dispensaries In tho country. to
the free circulation OF the Christian Scrip
lures. or tho distribution OF Christian
books. But the attitude OF tho Govern
ment Is not always reproduced In tho at
titude OF individual Governors. and the
security and freedom enjoyed by the Christian
missionaries depend very much upon the
character OF the latter. Tho missions must
reckon always upon the active hostility Of the
Mullahs. Then too. not tho least OF the OBJ
stacles with which Christian communities are
confronted arise from their own sectarian dif-
ferences. Protestants squabble with Roman
Catholics, Presbyterians with Epscopalians.
while the Protestant HISTORIANS look with no
very friendly eye upon tho HISTORIANS proper.
and these again are not on the most harm onious
terms with the Chaldeans. or Catholic Nestor-
ians. The Armenians gaze askance upon tho
United Tor Catholic) Armenians. and both COM
bine to retard the work OF tho Protestant mis-
sons. Finally the hostility Of the Jews may.
as rule. be counted ON. We are told. BY tho
way. that the Persian Jews. considered as a
community. are sunk In great poverty and
ignorance. They have no schools OF their own
except In the synagogues whore they are only
taught to repeat their prayers which the ma
jority do not understand. Usually compelled
to live apart In ghetto. or separate quarter
of the town. they have from time i'm emorial
suffered from disabilities OF dress and habits
which hava marked them out as parluhs. Tho
majority OF Jews In Persia are engaged in
trade especially the sale Of jewelry. In wine and
opium manufacturing. or In vacations to which
but little respect is paid such as those Of
musicians. dancers. peddlers, and scavengers
They rarely attain to leading mercantile po-
sition. In Isfshan. whore they are said to

while In Bushfre they are prosperous and

when an outburst OF bieotry takes place. the
jews are apt to be the FIRST victims.

the extent to which religious liberty obtains in
Persia. that universal as 10 the spirit OF skep-
ueism among tho intelligent classes. concilia-

EMIN'S OLD PROVINCE
The First News Since His Departure or the
DoinRs There.

During the last expedition OF Emin Pasha he
met. west OF Albert Nyanza many OF his former
soldiers. and they told him tho story OF tho
fate OF the equatorial province. There has
been much speculation as to the Egyptians
whom Emin left behind. and as to the success
Of the Mahdists. who had seized tho northern
part OF the province and were likely to absorb
the whole OF 1t. Not word about the province
and its people was heard from tho time Emin
left until he went back and recently returned
to Victoria Nyanza with the news
The Mahdists did not overrun the province.
The Egyptian soldiers under tho leaders
who had rcbelled against the rule OF Emin
gave the Mahdists battle on two or three oc-
casions, and. though they won no signal Vie

In book called The English Rediscoperv
OF America. by JOHN B. and MARIE A. sH1r-
LEY London. Elliot Stock. we have an elabo-
rate attempt to depreciate tho value Of the
work performed by Columbus. and to prove
the discovery OF the North Am ercan continent
by tho Cabots an achievement moro worthy OF
commemoration. Tho authors seem to be In
spired By rabid hatred OF tho Church OF Rome:
they denounce Columbus as o pirate and
slave hunter. and appear to regard him as a
secret agent Of the INSCRIPTIONS Borgias:
and they charge him with claiming for himself
the discovery OF n country Of whose existence
ne had acquired positive knowledge dur
Ing sojourn In Iceland. They do not
seem to perceive that II all their
charges could be made good they
would not impeach tho fundamental truth
that tho name Of Columbus is inseparably as
ISOLATED with the first decisive step toward
bringing tho Old World and the New into
permanent INSTRUMENTATION. It Is this
fact, the most tremendous In the history OF
mankind. which is to be celebrated this year

Among the evidences OF civilization that
have been or are capable OF being introduced
into Persia, conspicuous place belongs to
roads. In 1889 Persia possessed only two
carrlageable roads Of any extont. These were
the roads from KaZvin to Teheran and from
Teheran to KUN. each between ninety aud
hundred miles in length. Upon the former
road is organized q service OF teiegas and
tdrdntasses. after the Russian fashion. and
series OF post houses. superior In equipment to
any OF the ordinary mail-post stations. at In
teryals Of from fifteen to twenty miles.
This road cost q sum officially re-
turned ut $1,000 tomans. or about Sl25.OOO.
but alleged in reality to have amounted to
more than double that total. Tho Teheran-

IN THE CORRIDORS.
Interesting Chat at the Different
Hotels.

w. G. Taylor, of Bristol, was at the
Ponce de Leon yesterday. In speaking
OF Tennessee politics he said: 1.-The
Farmers Alliance and Third party
movement are on the decline in our
State. Some time ago the Third party
held its convention in Nashville, but
deemed it advisable to adjourn and wait
for the action of the Democratic con-
vention before making nominations.
The State Democratic convention will
meet on the 9th instant, and it is proba-
BILE that Buchanan will go before it,
and IL defeated will be nominated as the
Farmers Alliance standard bearer
There is little doubt that Judge Turney
will be nominated and less doubt of his
election. He is an able and conserva.
| tive man, sound lifelong Democrat
and has the confidence of the people.
| The talk that is being made about
Tennessee going Republican in the
national election is all nonsense. 1t
will give Cleveland a larger majority
than ever before. Even if there had
been no danger of force bill the State
would have given large Demo
cratic majority, but since tho PEG
pie consider that an issue in
the campaign they will overlook minor
| issues and Farmers Alliancemen and
Prohibitionists, will, in the national
election, align themselves squarely with
the Democratic party.
LAS in Tennessee so it will be in the
other Southern States. The South was
once taught by sad experience the evils
OF negro supremacy and carpet bagism
and never will it support party that
seeks to foist upon it's people reign of
81 ontn
speaking of Ex-Governor Taylor, of
Tennessee, he said: bob is a peculiar
genius. At an early age it required all
; of his fathers power to keep him from
| going on the stage. He Is an inimita BILE
mimic, and Of late has turned his atten-
ton to literature. He is now on lee
turing tour, the subject of his lecture
being the Fiddle and the Bow. He
has met with great success, as his lee
ture deals with the homely every day
life of the people, especially during
early days of the South"
w. b. Wells, OF Chicago, was yester-
day at the Ponce dc Leon. Mr.. Wells
said in regard to Illinois politics. "Ch;-
cago itself l consider Democratic, but
as how the State will go in the No
| vember election no one can say. At
best these matters are guess work. I
am we'll pleased with Roanoke and Vir-
ginia. This is great country and has
a bright future before it,"
Henry j. Jackson, OF Albany. Ca, is
in the city. In regard to the political
outlook in his Safe he said: Georgia
is, of course, Democratic. The Third
party Is on the decline and the election
this fall will snow the Third partyites
under so deep that the sun Of many
| campaigns will not thaw them out. Tom
Watson and his little book must go. In
political circles we regard him as a traitsr
to party and principles and those kind
of people do not thrive in our atmos-
phere."
