! United States Minister H. W. Bowen,
stationed al Teheran, Persia, has informed
the State Department that the Shah of Per-
sia has appointed Mofokhan Ed Dowlet
Minister Plenipotentiary to the United
| States Mr. Bowen adds that the appoint
ment is an excellent one.
! The new Minister will be the second one
! that the Persian Government has ever sent
to this country, and the State Department
| officials are hoping that the coming Minis
| tiers experiences Will be more pleasant
than we're those Of his predecessor.
The first Persian Minister TO this coun-
try was presented to President Cleveland
October 3. 1883. His name was Hadji Has
san Gnouli Khan Matamel Ell Vessare.
Before he reached Washington Hadji
Hassan had become an object Of intense in
! terest to the people of the United States.
through the mystery in which he became
involved.
About three months after this Govern
ment mad been notified of Hadii Hassan's
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
erument became worried about Hadii Has
san. \ 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
tc the Persian Government.
The State Department undertook an in
vestigation, but could get no clew to the
missing diplomat. One day Hadji Hassan
landed in New York from trans Atlantic
steamer. lie was surprised that anybody
should ha I'VE been worried about him. He
explained that he had stopped over in Paris
to enjoy the delights of that CAV capital
and had been having good time incognitO.
The cartoGnists and photographers of the
newspapers had been dsvoting themselves
TO Hadji Hassan before he arrived. Their
pictures and comments about his disap-
pearance and his name were revived when
he turned up. In Washington his peculi n
costume excited so much curiosity and
amusement that Hadji Bassan was made
exceedingly uncomfortable. He had many
interesting experiences here.
In July, 1889, HadJi Hassan left Washing
ton for good. He sent a note TO the State |
Department complaining of the manner III
which he had been treated by the American |
newspapers, and said he withdrew to show |
tis disapproval Of their reflections on his |
dignttj. Hadji HassaD returned to Paris, |
where he met the Shah, then making a tour |
Of Europe He laid before his sovereign |
bundle of newspaper cartoons. editorial !
paragraphs. and stories of which he was
the subject, and asked the Shah to take |
measures to secure an apology from the |
United States Government. The story gees |
that the Shah was much amused over the |
pictures. and the remarks OF the newspaper |
photographers, and laughed heartily at some |
OF them, to the discontinue of Hadji Has |
san. The Shah 4eciined TO take any action. |
and Hadti Hassai. went to London where |
he lived for .oDg time
