Persia, Pitiful Plight.

Persia is in Il sorry way indeed. As
if she had o been sufficiently punish
ed by having an indecent. shameless
brute to rule over her. and call himself
the king Of kings" she is now tied up
III IL hard financial knot. She has Il debt
Of $2.5Oo, 900 to pay, and Nc money to
pay it with. Russia very kindly offered
to loan it TO her. though where Russia
was to get il from does no appear. But
the Persian border is uncomfortable
near the point at which Russia wishes
to extend her Territory. SO Persia has
felt constrained 10 decline the courtesy,
and will now apply to England. She
may, however. ind that She has escaped
from the bear only to fall IL victim To
the lion, for England'S Indian border is
also very near to some choice Persian
territory, and when England finds it
necessary to protect her '%'innocent
b%ondholders" she usually does a. she
has done in Egypt. and occupies the
country of the bankrupt permanently.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The administra-
ton men are more confident than ever of
MI HarrisoD's denomination. They claim
that they have GOO delegates pledged 20 him,
and that they are strong enough to beat any
opposition candidate, not excepting Mr..
Blaine.
Senator FELTON, In an interview to-day
complimented Mr. Harriscn's administra-
ton very highly. He said: president
Harrison is one of the ablest men it has
ever been my pleasure TO meet. and every
tine have official intercourse with him I
become more and more an admirer Of his
sterling qualities. His administration, if
not absolutely brilliant, as l was about to
term It, has been at least very clever. lie
Is clean, brave, able man. and makes
model President"
Representative Butterworth of Ohio,
who is now in Washington, said to-day:
"Ot course the party is not solid for Harri-
son. but do not think a mans disappoint-
ments ought to weigh as much as his delib-
crate judgment"
representative Henderson Of Illinois said
that he could not pretend to keep track of
the multitude Of Presidential rumOrs many
Of which he believed We're Idle and un-
founded. As 10 the talk about Blaine, he
said that there was no doubt about
the very great popularity Of the Sec
retaTy of State, ana if be were the
nominee he henderson, would support
him heartily, as would the party
at large. He did not believe that Mr.. Blaine
had given any one the right to suppose that
he was in the field for the nomination. and
for his part he did not see why Republicans
could not Let well enough alone, and re-
nominate President Harrison, who certainly
had given the country a splendid admins
trGtiOn. Henderson said he still believed
that President Harrison would be Tenomi-
mated, and he thought that the prevailing
opinion among the Republicans Of Illinois
wss in favor Of his denomination.
The Evening Star says: One of the big
four delegatrs-at-laTge from New York
wrote a letter last night, which was dis
cnssed at the White House to-day, declar-
ing that there were 30 delegates in New

LONDON, May 27.-The Cabinet counsel
convened to-day for the special purpose Of
determining the dale Of the dissolution Of
Parliament. The bulk of the ConseTYa-
tive election agents are of the opinion that
It is urgently necessary to dissolve Parlia-
ment within O month, as is the case with
the Unionist members Prior 10 the coun-
ell anumber OF members had an interview
with Balfour and impressed upon him the
necessity Of settling the question without
delay. Almost unanimous representations
we're made which advised the dissolution
either TO take place at the end Of June or
else be postponed until the spring Of 1888.
The tenor Of the communications made
after the council adjourned indicates
the decision Of the Government to proceed
with The Irish local government bill and the
abandonment Of the intention to resort to
dissolution Balfour PROMISES in a definite
declaration this evening Whitsuntide
