THE NEW SHAH OF PERSIA
Barely Escapes the Designs Of the
Assassin
The Criminal Q Member Of the Same Fanat-
icaI Society Which compassed Tho
Death Of Nazr Ed Din

TIFLIS, Persia, June 27-It is reported
at attempt has been made on the life
of the new shah at Teheran. The at
tempt was unsuccessful, the assassin
being arrested on the spot. He proved
to be member of the Babe Mahomme-
dan secret society.
Muzaffer Ed Din, the second son Of the
late shah Of Persia, Nazr Ed Din, was
proclaimed shah of Persia May 2, 1896
His father. Nazr Ed Din, was assassi-
mated May by fanatic when about
to enter the inner court or shrine of Shah
Abdul Azin, about six miles from Te-
heran. The assassin, Mollah Ria, was
member Of the Baptist sect, the same
fanatical society which, according to re-
ports just received from Tiflis, is re-
sponsible for the attempt upon the life
of the present shah of Persia. The dis
content of the Babists is said to be due
to the fact that the former shah, Nazr
Ed Din, and his successor, Muzaffer Ed
Din, would not allow them to establish
their religion. The refusal was based
upon representations that it would con-
flict with the existing faith of Persia
and split the people into religious fac
tions. At the time of the murder of
Nazr Ed Din many persons thought the
elder brother Of Muzaffer Ed Din, Mas
soud Mira, governor of Ispahan. who
was barred from the succession because
his mother was Of inferior rank, would
try to seize the throne. that Russia
would back one claimant and England
the other and that serious complications
might result. 1t was even announced
that Massoud Mira was really respon-
sible for the assassination Of the former
shah, it being known he entertained
very bitter feelings against his father.
AS trouble was averted, however, by
the graceful submission Of the elder
brother, who Immediately declared al
legiance to Muzaffer Ed Din, the latter
being duly recognized as shah by the
powers.

SPOKANE, Wash, June 27.-Wtllis
Sweet, delegate to the st. Louis conven-
tion. arrived here on his way home to-
day. In an interview he said:
"If the silver forces unite they will
elect the president, and everything in
dicates the success Of the movement to

all parties, fully realize that the only
hope is in mutual concessions, and they
are willing to make these. If they unite
and silver man is nominated, think
he will be Senator Teller, in spite of
Democratic statements to the contrary.
Understand, I don't believe the Demo-
Gratis will nominate Mr.. Teller, for don't
believe they will nominate any one in the
Chicago convention. 1t takes a two
thirds vote to nominate president in
the Democratic convention. Neither
party being able to command the two
thirds vote, 1t will result in a bolt of
one faction or the other, and in that
event the silver men will indorse Sem

RIO DE JANEIRO, June 27.-(Copy-
right, 1896. Special correspondence Of
the Associated Press.) Since the revolu-
tion Of 1894, the republic of Brazil has
had a great deal of diplomatic difficulty
with Italy, in many instances arising
from claims made for indemnity as a re-
suit of the execution of Italian subjects
during the revolution
Consequently, the diplomatic relations
between Italy and Brazil at certain
period of last year were upon the point
of being interrupted. In February last.
however, an understanding was reached
between the two powers by which it was
decided to submit the claims Of Italy to
the arbitration of the president of the
United States. The points in the case
were communicated on July 90 by the
Brazilian minister OF foreign affairs to
the congress of Brazil This agreement
was approved by the italian government
on May Is, and will be accepted by the
national congress of Brazil within the
first week of July, SO that it may even
now be considered as in force.
The Brazilian government has been
asked by the minister of the United
States If it Is disposed to accord the nee
essary facilities to delegates of the prin-
cipal chambers of commerce of the
United States who are desirous of going
to Brazil in order to study the question
of improving the commercial relations
between Brazil and the United States.
The minister for foreign affairs an
swered this question today, saying the
Brazilian government would be most
happy to see the American delegates
among them, and that the Brazilian gov
ernment will do all in it's power to facil-
itate the accomplishment of their mis-
sion.
The Brazilian minister for foreign af-
fairs has notified the chamber of depu-
ties that Brazil, connected with nearly
all the South American republics by the
tributary streams Of the Amazon and
La Plata rivers. has with them many
commercial interests which cannot be
controlled by an automatical regime.
If these reasons, he added, are not suf-
f1cient for the defense of the treaties of
commerce and Of navigation, the direc-
tion which their products have taken in
the different republics of the South
American continent, would suggest a
commercial agreement which will secure
to them the best conditions of trade and
consumption.
AS Brazil and the Argentine republic
dominate the coasts of the South Attain
tic ocean and Chilli dominates those Of
the South Pacific, an alliance Of a COM
mercial nature between these three re-
publics is proposed for the development
of maritime commercial of South
America.

Could Be Plainly Seen II the Weather Were
NEW YORK, June 27.-A special to
the Herald from Paris says: The reap
pearance of Brooks comet was made
the subject Of an interview with M.
Camille Flammarion, the eminent as
Economical authority. at Juivsy. M.
Flammarion said: 1.-THE weather in
Paris has been unfavorable recently and
so the comet has not yet been seen. AS
soon as the heavens are bright we shall
be able to take observations and make
drawings and photographs. This comet
was calculated to have a period of seven
years and twenty-seven days. 1t pass
ed its perihelioh on September 80, 1885,
and should have been back again in
October next. 1t cannot be seen except
with the strongest instruments. 1t is
very far away, but it does not approach
us, and the sun and it will certainly give
rise to some very important observa-
tions.
"A curious fact is that this comet is
accompanied by three companions. The
four have been seen at once, giving the
same spectacle as Bielas comet in 1S46.
The latter is supposed to have broken
up into cosmic dust and shooting stars.
1t will be interesting to see if this comet
has undergone any changes or shows
any curious notifications"

QUICK JUSTICE
Murdercus Soldier Shot by . comrsls
Under Orders

Under Orders
OMAHA, Neb., June PA special to
the Bee from Valentine, Neb., says:
Fort Niobrara was the scene of
murder and the almost instant execu-
ton of the murdered under military or
ders today. Just before guard mount,
Private Weaver of Company c. who was
sitting on the company porch waiting
under arms to go on guard, suddenly
drew his rifle and after taking deliberate
aim, shot and instantly killed First Ser
geant Livingston Of Company D, who
was passing along the roadway in front
of Company c quarters. When the SER
geant dropped four men ran and picked
him up, when Weaver fired four shots
at them, forcing them to drop the SER
geant and run for shelter. Weaver then
fired several more shots, aiming at any
one who happened to come within range
of his rifle, but without effect.
Then First Lieutenant Clark, Twelfth
infantry, who was in Company DIS quar-
ters, ordered Private Strine, Company
D, member of the guard, to shoot
Weaver, which he did, the ball striking
Weaver's rifle near the butt, shatterinE
it and afterwards entering his body,
from which he died within an hour.
The only provocation known for the
act is that a few days ago Weaver be-
came engaged in an alteration with
Private McLeroy of Company D. in
which he followed McLeroy into Com
pany DIS barracks and was expelled
therefrom by Sergeant Livingston. Ho
swore vengeance on the sergeant at the

Then you do not look for q compro-
| mise?"
Compromise is impossible. Debase-
ment Of the currency would be more
than monstrous in effect. It would be
abandonment of principle. It would dis
grace every citizen. It would be not
merely dishonest. it would be dishonor-
able. And you cannot compromise a
question of honor"
What do you expect to do in Chi
cago?"
DO everything In my power to save
the party and protect the country That
is the plain duty of every Democrat who
|! goes to Chicago. and 1t is none the less
the duty of those who stay at home not
to hamper the efforts Of those who go.
And by those who stay at home mean
not merely Democrats but include every
good citizen, regardless of party or
prejudices. The crises which has come
upon us is the most serious menace to
national prosperity and the welfare of
the people since 1860. This is a time
when all men who love their country
must stand together to avert if possible
public disgrace and the wreck of thou
sands Of homes throughout the entire
country"
You do not despair Of success, them"
mo; we cannot yet tell what the
knowledge Of the attitude of the east
ern Democrats will affect the determi-
nation of the southern and western DEM
ocrats who have not until within the
past week known how strong the feeling
here is. The vigorous expression of our
position may cause hesitation, especially
among the rank and file of the Demoo-
racy, who cannot believe want to drive
all eastern Democrats out of the party.
I know some of the leaders assume that
attitude, but I am not yet convinced that
the people are behind them. And if not
they will make their wishes known and
felt"

WASHINGTON Aug. 5.--Reports of
maximum temperatures received by
the weather bureau show that the
present hot wave Is very general and
Is probably the most severe of the
present summer. The officials say it
Is very unusual for the temperature
to reach such a high point in so many
parts of the country at one time The
heat Is due to an area of high barom-
eter which has been prevailing over
the southern portion of the country,
and low barometer in the northern
part, which results in great waves of
heat coming toward the North. In
this city the heat during the past few
days has been intense, and today the
thermometer reached it's maximum
point, registering So degrees according
to the official readings. Instruments
in business houses and other places
were 100 and above Notwithstanding
the intense heat there were no pros
trations. The prediction of the wealth
er bureau Is that the warm weather
will continue from the middle and
south Atlantic coast westward to the
Mississippi river, though some relief
may be expected from thunder storms
in some sections. Among the tempera-
lures reported to the weather bureau

LION KILLED BABY.
Tragedy That Was Not Down ON
Animal Show Programme.

NJ
CHILLICOTHE, Ohio, Aug. SIN
Thomas Hurd's animal show at the fair
grounds here, there are, besides other
wild animals, one tiger and several
leopards and lions. Among them was
a lion chained near the entrance to the
tent as a catching advertisement 1t
was young beast and the owner
prided himself on it's docility. Eddie
Hurd, Is months old, son of the pro-
prietor, was playing near the animal
today and came within its reach The
mother called the child away, but too
late. The animal seized the infant by
the head and shook it as a terrier dog
would shake a cat. The mother, reck-
less of danger, rushed to the rescue
of her babe and might have been torn
to pieces, but for the quick presence
of mind of the father, frightening the
lion with q whip. The lion let the
child go, but it was a corpse, it's baby
head crushed out of semblance to any
thing human. The affair caused a
panic in the crowded grounds, and soon
emptied them.
The show is really a section of Hag-
enback's collection of animals, and
Thomas Hurd is manager of It, A
negro servant left the child near the
lion while she went for a bucket of
water. Some one apprised the mother
of that fact, but she said there was no
danger as the lion would not hurt any
thing.
