KHAN SAYS PERSIA
IS PROGRESSIVE

CIV dSItfliELDll 1 tcl-l
The new Persian minister. General
Isaac Khan, who arrived in Washing

prime of life, a striking specimen of
stalwart manhood, being very tall, With
an athletic figure, broad shoulders, and
a face thar shows strong character
He is handsome, too, and a bachelor,
and as his manners are equally gentle
and charming, il Is to be expected that
he Will be quite a favOrite in diplo-
matte circles.
Though swarthy in complexion, Cen
eraI Khan does not fulfill the popular
American idea of native of Persia
General Khan dresses plainly, in our
modern European dress, wearing a
black Prince Albert, which sets of
admirably his fine figure. Though Ia

minister from Persia was stationed

shah marks a new era in the diplomat

of the special missions of the general is
the establishment of consulates in our
large Cities.
"The shah is extremely DESTROYS of
strengthening the bonds between the
two countries which have been Iempo-

most enlightened men OF the age, my
country is making rapid strides under
his fostering care. Railroads are being
built. ana our gold, silver and copper
mines extensively worked. American
machinery is very popular and is large

The stories published anent the
shah's visit to London are silly, for
there is not a word of truth in them.
No monarch is more progressive than
he and TO show what an interest he
takes in the welfare of the people IT is
but necessary to state that during his
reign capital punishment has been
abolished, and crimes deserving it are
