Only few weeks ago the ear OF Rus.
sia announced that he would dispense
with the services Of his bureau and con.
duet the eilnirs of the empire on his own
responsibility. Scarcely had the young
autocrat made this declaration before the
shah Of Persia announced that he would
not require the assistance of his prime
lister in transacting the affairs Of the king
dom. Within the last few days the en-
peror of China, envious, no doubt, of the
honors bestowed upon Ii II Jung Chang.

With res pcct to Persia and China it is
barely possible that these ambitious de-
signs may succeed. Both countries are
still immersed in superstition, and are
prone to look upon their rulers as di-
vinely Inspired In Persia, especially
it is likely that little opposition will be
provoked by this dcspotic policy.
The young car of Russia, however, is
not apt to enjoy such an easy triumph.
