United States Minister H. W Bowen
stationed AT Teherau. Persia, has informed
the state Department that the Shah Of Per
sia has appointed Mofokhan Ed Dowlet
/ Minister Pienipotentiary to the United
| States 4Ir. Bowen adds that the appoint
mert is an excellent one.
The new Minister will be the secord one
that the Persian Government has ever sent
to this country. and the State Department
officials are hoping that the coming Minis
tiers experiences VIII be more pleasant
than were those Of his predecessor.
The first Persian Minister TO this coun-
try was presented TO President Cleveland
October 3. 1855 His name was Hadji Has
san Gnouli Khan Matamel FL Vessare.
Before he reached Washington Hadji
Hassau had become an object Of intense in

through the mystery in which he became
involved.
About three months after this Govern
meut mad been notified of Hadji Hassan' :
appointment a dozen trunks bearing his
rame were delivered to the State Depart
ment in whose care they were addressed.
The Department expected the new Minister
the day after the trunks arrived, but he
did not come. Weeks passed and the Gov
eminent became worried about Hadji Has
san. A telegram of enquiry was sent TO
Teheran, and news came that he had left
there several months before for the United
States, and his whereabouts was unknown
to the Persian Government.
The State Department undertook an in
yestigation. but could get no clew to the
missing diplomat one day Hadji Hassan
landed in New York from transatlantic
steamer. He was surprised that anybody
should have been worried about him. He
explained that he had stopped over in Paris
to enjoy the delights of that gay capital,
and had been having good time inCogEitO.
The cartoOuists and photographers Of the
newspapers had been dsvoting themselves
TO Hadi Hassau before he arrived Their
pictures and comments about his disap-
pearance and his name were revived when
he turned up. In Washington his peCulilr
costume excited so much curiosity and
amusement that Hadji Hassan was made
exceedingly uncomfortable. He had many
Interesting experiences here

that the Shah was much amused over the
