these two women are the rival candidates and the

WAR is THREATENED
TROUBLE OVER TURGo-PERSIAN
FRONTIER DISPUTE.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
CONSTANTINOPLE, March i7.-War Is
threatened between Turkey and Persia over
what is known as the Turko- Persian
frontier dispute. The chief cause of the
trouble appears to be that the Turks have
not begun to recall their troops from places
which are indisputably within Persian
frontier These troops are certainly station
ed east of the broad zone marked out by
the Anglo-Russian commission. and 1t is
claimed that fresh troops have been dis
patched to support them.
The nervousness with which the Persians
regard the situation is Increased by the
state of anarchy in the Caucasus and by
the fact that though most Perslans are
Shiites. a considerable minority of Sunites
regard the Sultan of Turkey as their khalif
Moreover, the Persian government has been
considerably shaken by the revolutionary
movement. The movement has been sup
pressed, at any rate, for the present by
timely concessions to the moolahs who took
the most active part, but there can be no
doubt OF the existence of a strong feeling of
dlseontent, especially among the trading
classes. in consequence of ,ha corruption
and ineficiency of the government
