Stronghold Of saIare- pouleh.

riffraff revolutions. the mutiny of Salare-Douleh could be curbed easily. But now Mohammed Ali Shah has neither organized army nor financial aid, and. most important of all, his autocratic powers are at present very limited by the constitution extorted from him on February S.
 The present shah, confronted with such threatening and serious events, Is quite helpless. At last England in the name of international law and the pacification of southern Persia and Russia for the preservation of order in northern Persia will be obliged to interfere in the internal affairs of Per. sia- and from that day the fate of Persia will be sealed.
 The outcome of this armed interven. ton will be either the fall and division of the country between two rival coun- tries. which does not seem to me prob- able. or government by joint control

ALL CALL FOR TRIMNEsss.
Puffed.out corsase Not Seen in New
 Waist Forms.

Waist forms all demand trimness at the waist itself and fitness of trim. ming above the waistline. even where the material is not actually full. The new models are conspicuous for show. ing the complete disappearance of the pufed-out corsage which has battied royalty, in some instances. for an ex. tension of life. The definition of the round waistline is positive.
 All the new waists have fitted gir. dles or belts. draped or plain; but a concession is made to those to whom the long front is really becoming by the introduction of long vests. of plas- irons of lace. of bands of lace and silk. or of long jabots which descend from the collar to the waistline and ornament the front of the corsage without bulgy trimming. - Harper's Bazar.

BROTHERS AT WAR
CONFLICT OVER THE OCCUPANCY OF THE THRONE OF PERSIA.
Prince re-Dou!eF Gathers an Army in Revolt Against the Newly
 Crowned Shah.

There is a war cloud lowering over
 Persia, and any moment there may
 break out open conflict between two 1 princes of the royal house. the present shah and his brother, Prince Salare- Douleh, who has instigated revolt 1 against the new ruler. The beliger- ent prince has raised an army of co., 900 we'll armed insurgents. composed mostly of Lors. Bakhtiaris and other highlanders, and seeks to secure the ! independence of the southern prov. inces of Persia-Loristan, Arabistan and Bakhtiari.
 The plan for this instruction was engineered in 1902, when Salare-D Dou- leh most cunningly married the daugh- ter of Ali Gholi Khan. of Bakhtiari, who is enjoying British protection.
 In 1903 Salare-Douleh, after many secret interviews with both Turkish and British ambassadors. fled from Teheran to Loristan with the object of Inducing the chiefs of the Loristan tribes to join him in revolt against his father. Mozaffereddin Shah. And he would certainly have succeeded in his endeavors but for the refusal of his father-in-law. Ali Ghouli Khan, and the friendly advice of one of his Armenian aides de camp.
 At present, however. the deep hatred he bears toward his brother and the dislike for all constitutions have driven him once more to insurrection on the frontiers of his father-in+lau.
 Loristan. Arabistan and Bakhtiari are the central provinces of southern Persia, and being very mountainous are so we'll suited to guerrilla wars that until now no army has ever suc- ceedee in penetrating these and hold ing the inhabitants in subiugation.
 Salare-Douieh is a tyrant in the full meaning of the word. He often orders the beheading of men accused of the slightest ofenses merely to keep in terror those who surround him. And for his cruelties he is the most hated man in Persia Any claims he may put forward for his rights to the ! throne will not be tolerated by Persia's I people. He is extremely araricious !. and greedy. and often stays rich . friends and even servants to spprupri- | ate their riches One case uas that of his secretary.

FORAKER WILL NOT RECEDE
Stands Pat on Challenge, but De-
clines to Discuss Taft Reply.
starts for Ohio This Week To Take
Charge Of His Forces for the
Coming Battle.

Senator Foraker FIRST learned of Charles
P. Taft's pronunciamento through tele-
phone message to him at his committee
room tn the Capitol. He expressed neither
surprise nor satisfaction on being told
that his challenge had been accepted. and
even said that being rather busy, he did
not care 20 have the Taft statement re-
peated TO him over the telephone. but
would read It in the papers.
Later, when directly asked for an ex-
preston. he declined to add anything
whatever TO the announcement made by
him earlier in the week.
he made il clear. however, that he
would not recede one iota from his re-
quest that the voters of his State be
given permission 10 formally express their
preferences on the Presidential and sena-
torial questions. which he claims the ad-
miuistTati0u has without just cause raised
in the Buckeye State.
Il is perfectly clear TO the Senator 5
friends here that it is to be WAT to the
knife in the gigantic struggle for political
supremacy in the Republican party Of
that State.
The Senator's friends declare Tafts
pr0nuuciamentO 10 be merely an attempt
10 befog the issue. and TO create the inn
preston that they have suggested a
method Of warfare not already outlined
by Foraker
why should the Senator consult
Charles P. Taft in the matter of state
politics. these warm adherents ask.
Has President Roosevelt carried his
personal anim0sity against the Senator 20
such "a point that he has authorized Taft
10 anuoGnce formally that the contest is
between the friends of the administra-
tion and President Roosevelt and his op-
pouents? is another way they put it,
III the President Is determined to efface
senator Foraker merely because the latter
has not seen fit 10 indorse fully every
thing that the President has said and
done, they say, 1t is just as wen 10
fight It out now. so that all public men
throughout the country may learn what Is
TO be demanded of them.
Senator Foraker viii start for Ohio be-
fore the end Of the week. if his Official du-
ties permit He viii not admit that he is
going to take personal command of his
forces. but that is what il viii mean "Of
course. / am not going 10 talk politics
when / go back home" he smilinglv de-
clared tonight. Il have not been in Ohio
since last fan. / merely wish to see my
old friends"
Local comment on the Taft statement
was largely based on the cireumstan.e e
that il Places the Secretary in the race
both for the Presidency and the Senator
ship. The understanding heretofore has
In that Representative Bur on was TO
be the candidate for the Senate seat now
held by Mr. Foraker. In the event of a
contest for it, and Washington observers
are therefore little puzzled at Mr..
Charles p. Taft's handling of that phase
of the matter in his statement.

often a large overflow was left behind
This was noticeable Friday evening when
one OF the wagons pulled UP in front OF
