TO CARVE UP PERSIA.
One Alternative in the Anglo-Russian
 Complication.

London. Jan. 13.-Soma concern i5 manifested in the foreign office at the recrudescencs Of Russian activity in Persia, and it is evident that trouble is expected in that cOnn5 5ctiCn. For years past the Russian and Brit sl ministers have been ceasely intrjg lin g at Teheran. The old shah used to play the sultan Of Turkeys game Of setti1 g the entire diplomatic corps by the eavs, but the present occupant Of the throne lacks the nerve to resist the al- ternate menances and cajoleries of the Russians with the result that the shah's sovereignty in the provinces ad- joining Russia is now little more than nominal.
 Russia's latest move is the dsma1d Of a concession to build a railroad right acrcss Persia from the Russian frontier to the Indian Ocean, which in British opinion, would be only 3 pr5- Jude to the annexation of Eastern Persia This, if the traditional poli y of this country is maintained, would be resisted by fierce of arms. The inn mediate fear Of the foreign cffioe is that if the shah, at England's bidding. should pluck up courage and rsfus- the railroad concession Russia will find pretext for declaration of war against Persia which would set the en- tire east ablaZe. The only alternative in view at present is an Anglo-Rus- sian compact for the partition of Per sia, and there is some raas- Il 10 bs- lieve that an indirect proposal t3 that effect has actually been made by thu British government recently.
 The main objection t9 such 2 sclu- tion of the difficulty is that 9 Russian outlet to the Indian Ocean means the establishme nt of Russian ports on England's main read to India, which is utterly opposed to the British for eign policy of two generations One thing is certain and that is that if Russia cares to force the pace. which she seems disposed to do, the days of Persia ss an independent power are numbered.
 Itis evident that Lcrd Salisbury had Persia in his mind when he made his famous speech last autumn about ''da- caying mCnarchies" although nobody gave the matter any thought at the time.
