CHOLERA AND DIPLOMACY.
The Part Taken by the American Legation
During the Persian Epidemic.

The Part Taken by the American Legation
During the Persian Epidemic.
Tn a dispatch sent 10 the State Department
by Mr.. Truxtun Beale, the minister to Persia,
the creditable part taken by the American lega-
ton during the cholera epidemic, and espe-
cially by Mr.. Williams C. Fox, the American
charge d'affaires. is set out. The dispatch says:
~ think it will be of interest to the govern
ment to know that the cholera here and in the
east, as an epidemic, is over and that it will be
matter of satisfaction to the department to
hear tina. in tho country where the ravages of
this epidemic were the greatest-Persia-
representative and the American missionaries
did credit to the American name. Our repre-
sentative renamed at his post. 1t has been re-
ported to me since left Persia that when the
cholera was at its height and the people in
Ieheran were dying i'll the streets it occurred
to Mr. Williams c. Fox, our representative. to
open the American hospital to people of all re-
lgions. After conference with the mission
aries OF that station it Was found that they had
not funds sufficient to carry out Mr.. Fox's
plan. Mr.. Fox at once applied to the ministers
OF the other countries who warmly seconded
his plan aud gave it Substantial aid. This I'M
mediately brought our representative to the
front one of the leaders Of the foreigners in
Persia All news that the foreigners received
IN reiauon 10 the epidemic came through ana
from him. The English officials placed their
system of government teiegraphs at his disposal.
The hospital was filed with Europeans Persians
and Armenians. The indirect effect of this
work was very great. 1t came at time when
most needed When left that country PERSIA,
bat a few months ago. western enterprises were
in distavor. The tobacco monopoly had been
abolished The export privileges of that COM
pany had been taken from it, the managers of
other western enterprises feared they would
not have the aid and good will Of the Persians.
Many of the leading Persians were objecting TO
all attempts to develop Persia by means of west
ern capital The people of western nations had
reached the very zero Of their unpopularity.
The hospital work arrested the feeling of dis
trust that was rapidly spreading in Persia. 1t
remained for Mr.. Fox and the missionaries, who
cO-operated with him, to restore the faith and
confidence in foreigners that seemed for a time
to be lost. The conception of this plan and the
vigor with which our representative and the
missionaries executed it have done more for
American prestige in Persia than anything that
has been done since our legation there was es-
tablished."
