REVOLT IN PERSIA.
Shah May Be Forced to Hurry
Home.

Shah May Be Forced to Hurry
Home.
New York Aug. 2S.-A dispatch to the
Times from Paris says it is learned
from thoroughly we'll informed source
that a serious insurrection has broken
out in Persia, which in all probability
will cause the shahs visit to Eerope
to be curtailed.
The object Of the revolt is to dethrone
the present shah. whose fondness for
western ideas makes him unpopular to
PersianS of the Old school. and TO place
his brother on the throne
No advices have reached here so far
regarding the extent or success of this
revolutionary movement but a tele-
gram announcing the fact has just
been handed to the shah in Brussels.
The shah himself is disposed to make
light of the affair. which. nevertheless,
is extremely grave, in view Of the I'M
settled state of affairs.
He has every confidence that the pre-
cautions in view of such a contingency
which the grand vizier took before his
master started on his European trip
will prove sufficient to cope with the
situation.
The insurTectiOn, however has been
very carefully planned. for it has taken
the shah and his ministers completely
bv surprise

Mr.. M'CUNE ARRIVES
Returns From a Trip. to the
Pacific Coast.
ROAD TO LOS ANGELES
SPEAKS OF THE REPORTED PUR-
CHASE OF W. A. CLARK.

A w McCune arrived home yester-
day, after an absence of several weeks
on the Pacific coast. The matter in
which most people are interested is Mr..
McCune,s views of the story that came
from Los Angeles recently to the eff
fecc that w. A. Clark of Montana had
purchased the Terminal r<ilroad in that
city Speaking of this, he said:
L know. nothing about this report or
how it got started l do know that Mr..
Clark is in Europe, and it does not
seem reasonable that he would be off
so far if he were buying railroads in
Los Angeles. In addition to that, l
don't see what good the Terminal
would do him if he were going to stop
there. AS | understand the situation at
Los Angeles, the Terminal is a road
thirty miles long running from the city
down to the coast, with valuable fran
chlses in Les Angeles.
But what good are franchises if
tnere are no roads coming into the
city? The purchase of the Terminal
would have very little to do with the
building of the 300 or 400 miles of rail-
road between Los Angeles and Salt
Lake. And when that road is built
there will be little difficulty in getting
in Los Angeles, no matter
who owns the Terminal.

Especial to The Herald)

BlackfOot, Ida. Aug 2S-Fire this

bic, several business houses and the
residence of Z. A. Johnson.
An accurate estimate of the damage
cannot now be made, although it is
probably over $4,000.
All of the finest driving teams in this
vicinity were lodged at the stable.
The horses stabbed tried franticaIIv

be heard, but the flames were so fierce
that no human being could approach
within forty or fifty feet of the build

The wind was unusually strong, and
the water supply inadequate, conse-

until it had burned everything in its
course.
Never has the town suffered such a
loss. The Insurance is nominal.
