SEEKS FOR TRADE TREATIES

The Persian minister. Gen. Isaac
Khan after a prolonged leave Of alb
seace. part Of which was spent in a
trip to South American countries, on
official business, has returned to Wash
ington for the winter. He allied on
Thursday. the regular diplomatic day
at the state Department, TO pay his
respects TO Secretary Hay and other Of
dc.als
Important to the Persian government
will be the result OF the minister's trir
to Mexico and South America. He went
at the instance OF his majesty. the
shah Of Persia. to lay the foundation
for trade treaties between Mexico, and
the more important OF the southern
republics. with Persia. Il can be declar-
ed on the highest authority that the
minister's visit was successful, and the
conclusion Of conventions by Persia with
these countries may be expected soon
Probably never before has the Persian
legation in Washington been more active
in the development Of Persian inter
ests IN this country than during the
administration OF the present minister.

cities IL is the intention of the minister
to appoint representative American
