der the constitution that was granted
on Jan. l.. 1907. The shah has ignored
and Withdrawn the constitution, which
he signed when he assembled the throne.
His course has resulted In widespread
unrest in Persia, which in some Sec
lions has approached anarchy. The
movement to compel him to observe
the constitution gained force until. fol
lowing the dissolution of parliament in
1908, great part of the country broke
out in instruction. The Nationalists
were especially strong at Tabriz,
which fell into their hands after fierce
fighting.
While the shah was trying to cope
with this situation in the north the
Bakhtiari tribesmen. the lighting race
of Persia. rose in the south and early
this year captured lspahan. 30 miles
south of Teheran. The tribesmen then
began the long march to the capital,
and their advance guard arrived in
front of Teheran In June.
The British and Russian govern
ments have been exerting their infiu-
enee to induce the shah to summon
representative assembly to bring the
state of anarchy to an end, and Rus
sia. acting in fun accord with Great
Britain. sent a military expedition into
Persia from Baku for the protection Of
foreigners.
The Persian emDire is divided into
British and Russian spheres of infiu-
ence. and these complications, together
with the Turkish aggression on the
western frontier. have served to In
crease the hostilities between the in
ternal factions. va

rative trip from New York city to Al

One of the ways of making the Hud
SON Fulton celebration productive Of
greater patriotism and interest in the
history of the country Is to give the
children and youth of the schools Of
New York city aud state a leading
part in 1t. 1t Is expected that about II
million children In the Greater New
York will participate in some way in
the pageants. tableaux and festivals
of the celebration. Some of the sub
jects for tableauy will include the
progress of civilization IN the past 30'l
years In New York state and vicinity
The principal ceremonies in which
children will participate will be held
ON Sept. % and Oct. 2.
1t has been the aim of the commits
sion in charge of the joint celebration.
a body composed of a large number of
representative citizens of New York
state. to make the eommemoration as
educational as possible and as inter
esting to. the children and youths of
the schools as can be effected through
the creation of historical spectacles
and reproductions of scenes connected
with the events celebrated. In this
way study OF the. two periods and of
fine two principal characters honored
may be stimulated.

One of the interesting parts of this
function was the presentation to the
new Clermont by Eben e. Olcot, chair
man Of the committee having the con-
struction of the vessel In charge, of
the bell used on the original Clermont.
Robert Underwood johnson read

this occasion.
The replica of the Clermont is as
nearly the duplicate of the original as
the commission could build from the
plans noted in some of Fulton's own
letters. she Is $50 feet long, IS feet
wide, feet deep and draws feet of

shaped. She will be equipped with

trip up the Hudson to Albany under
her own steam.
The difficulty of determining the ex-

Clermont was great, and it was only
through the efforts Of the late Rear

doubts existed that there is to
~ be Hudson-Fulton celebration
In New York state the coming
autumn they must be dispelled now
that ground has been broken on the
historic Spuyten Duyvil hill for mon
ument to Hudson, now that Holland
has built new Half Moon and shipped
1t to the United States and now that
reproduction of Fulton's little steamer
Clermont has been launched In the
waters of New York harbor. These
incidents show that the commission
In charge of the celebration of Hud-

is making good, and they indicate that
the commenioration is likely to come
off according to schedule.
The monument in Hudson's honor,
whose construction has been begun,
will tower some 800 feet above the
waters of the river he explored, a
statue of him by Karl Bitter at the top
and appropriate panels by Henry M.
Shrady at the base. 1t will be the
most conspicuous object of the land
