THE PERSIAN CRISIS.

The situation in Persia daily grows more
serious. and there is actually ground for fear
of irretrievable disaster to all that is LETT or
what was once the most powerful and splen-
did empire in the world There is practically
civil war between the Shah and Parliament,
with the army on the side of the former and
the great mass of the people on that of the
latter For the present the Shah seems 10 have
the advantage. which he is reported to he pur-
suing with the characteristic fury Of weak
Oriental potentate in a panic. and there are
tales of massacres almost a. savage as any
In Russia in China. Such is the state OF
affairs in the imperial capital, while at Iabrlz
and other provincial centres formidable reyolu-
tionarv upriSings prevail. with proclamations
of the deposition of the Shah. and the whole
case is complicated by a Turkish invasion al
Urumiah
Tho whole trouble probably had it's origin in
the conduct of the Shah. He is as we have
sucgested weak ruler, often entirely under
the influence of those who surround him,
and like most weak rulers he is subject to oc-
casional ehulIitions Of violence. which may
take the form either of generous heroism or
of despotic savasery. Thus on several occa-
sions he has proclaimed, with the most ex-
allied sentiments his unqualified adherence to
the constitution and his respect for the Parlla-
mont Yet i'm the intervals be has intrigued
AGAINST the constitution. and now he has made
a furious attack with cannon and Cossacks,
upon Parliament. That there was adequate
,rovocation for the attack does not appear.
The probability is that the Shah was the victim
nf his own fears and. becoming panicstricken,
struck OFT hlindly and madly and with deadly
effect.
The danger Of the situation is twofold. In
tho first uIace If order is not restored and
maintained foreign intervention may be neces-
sary. We can scarcely suppose that Great
Britain and Russia would regard with indiffcr-
once the transformation of Teheran into
shombles But in the second place, If order
* restored 10y the Shahs troops, aiter the
fashion of Warsaw. there will he the most
serious danger of an intensification OF anti
dvnastic and revolutionary feeling which will
soon manifest itself IN violent action. Revolt
tionary clubs in Teheran itself are to be num-
bered by hundreds. and in nearly all parts OF
tho enpire they are many and active. At
rabriz at Shraz at KaZvin and elsewhere
they have openly proclaimed the deposition of
tho Shah and have telegraphed that action 10
al nartS of the empire. Such a spirit Will
s,.r.aIv slll,side because of the hOmbardment
az rho Parliament House and the slaughter OF
Parliamentary leaders by the Shah's Cossacks
There is therefore, no cxagGeration in regard-
i,,,, tho throne of Kaiumers rs in real peril 1t
i !, throne which has mere splendid traditions
