 GOVERNMENT.

 formed by CabIegram-GreatIy Sur-
 prised and Delighted--Legation Flag
 at Once Flung to the Breeze--AIl
 Civil and Constitutional Laws to
 Originate With the Assembly.-Latter
 to be Organized Immediately.
 Washington, Aug. 1O.-For the first time in her history Persia is to have a national assembly. This information was conveyed to the Persian minister here late to-day in cablegram from the recently appointed grand vizier and minister for foreign affairs, who stated that in view of the desire of his imper- ial majesty, the pasha for the extension pf national tranquility and for the well fare of Persia and all it's inhabitants and in order to fortyfy the government it had been decreed necessary to give certain reforms and a constitution dur able for the country and for the admin istration. The immediate organization of a national assembly for the realiza- tion of these forms accordingly was or dered.
 According to the dispatch the assem- bly win be composed of equal parties, namely, princes of the blood, clergy, chief of the reigning dynasty, cadjar, high dignitaries and personages, mer- chants and representatives of corpora" tions. The assembly will meet at Te- heran and it Is provided that all civil and constitutional laws shall originate in the assembly and after the signature of his majesty will become effective.
 The cablegram concludes as follows:
 Tn order to thank his imperial ma jesty for this happy initiation the peo- pie were authorized to celebrate this happy event by rejoicing, and this day was declared national holiday for the people,
 The Persian minister tonight ex- pressed his pleasure at the news and eafd it had come to him as a great sur prise. The legation flag instantly was flown.
 It was pointed out by the minister 5IlldL TO-uay s dclluH, IptlOWfnS WltnlH one week of the appointment of the new grandvizier, is indicative of that officials progressive ideas. and that much good is expected to result from lifs leadership.
 Leading up to the granting of the new form of government, which went into effect to-day, was a period of ex- citement and unrest among the Per- sian people, attributable in part to the refusal of former prime minister to grant their demands. The change in the prime ministry was followed by the decision comforting on the people the rights of a national assemblage, in which various walks of life are allow ed representation.
 Tn the view of the Persian minister Hhe decision which was consunmated by the convocation of the assembly to- lay marks the opening of 8 new era ! the affairs and conditions of the
 eheran government.
 The sl1ah's power has been absolute tn his dominions, and under him the legislative government has been car- ried on by ministry divided into va rious departments like European port folios. The country Is divided into provinces administered by governors general, directly responsible to the cen tral government.
