PERSIA ROUGH ON RUSSIANS
NATIVES SHOW UNFRIENDLI-
NESS TO INVADERS.
Shah's Deposition Expected-Sipah
dar and Sardarasad Have
+ Teheran at Mercy.

| ST. PETERSBURG, July 1o.-The Rus
| sian expedition from Baku, which landed
at Enzeli. a Persian seaport on the cas-
plan, yesterday, is made up of 1,oOo intah-
/ try and 500 Cossack cavalry, with elgnt
| field guns and eight machine guns
| Despite the correct attitude maintained
| by the Russians. the natives are demon
strating their unfriendliness. Upon the
| arrival of the Russian column at hasn't
| sixteen miles from Enzeli, where the nrst
halt of the troops on their way to kasoin
| was made, all the baZaars were closed.
| The unopposed advance of Slpahdar,
leader of the revolutionists, and Sarda-
rasad chief of the Bakhtiari tribesmen
toward Teheran is taken here to mean
that Gen. Liakhoff, Governor of Ieheran,
considers his force inadequate to engage
In general battle. and that he has de-
cided to employ the Cossack brigade mere
ly as a guard over the life of the shah.
Persons well informed here regard the
entrance of the revolutionists into Tehe-
ran as a foregone conclusion. Deposition
of the shah. which several times has been
mooted, will now cause no surprise.
The presence of the Russians at kasbin
is considered a sufficient guarantee that
Sipahdar and Sardarasad will refrain
from eXcesses.

EXCAVATIONS UNDER FORUM
LAST OF TWO PREHISTORIC
GRAVES INVESTIGATED.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
| ROME, July 10.-Commendatore Boni is
new completing the excavation of the last
two remaining graves in the prehistoric
metropolis of the Forum.
| Both these graves contained large jars
/ of clay. The jar in each case served
as the receptacle for the clay model of d
| hut, which held the bones and ashes OF
| the dead. These huts were orientated in
| the same direction as all those previously
| found in this primitive burial ground,
! following a custom which obtains in
other countries where cremation has been
adopted Fibulae and vases, in one in
stance of beautiful work, have come to
light in the course of these last excava-
tions.
Commentators Boni ascribes the date
of these graves to the eighth and per-
haps even to the twelfth century, B. c..
The work of removing the earth from the
Rasilica Amilia has also been almost fin
ished.
The director of the Forum excavations
is now daily occupied with the investi-
CATION of the curious sacred well which
he has discovered beneath the so-called
Church of ST. Cesario, which stands on
the Summa Sacra Via, between the Arch
supposed baths of Heliogabalus."
This church was excavated in 1872, and
Is ascribed to the fifth century, but the
much more recent discovery of a chapel
in the Villa Mills has led some to believe
that the real Church of St. Cesario in Pal
atino was there and not on the Summa
Sacra Via, which answers much less ac-
curately to that topograp phical designation.
However, whatever the name of the
church near the Arch Of Titus may have
been it contained this very curious well,
which is approached by flight of steps.
The we'll itself belongs to the republican
period, while the steps are medieval
Commentators Boni therefore supposes
that in pagan times it was connected with
the rites of incubation" or the practice
of sleeping in temples in order to secure
a cure for nervous and other complaints,
of which there is mention in the 'PlutuS
Of Aristophanes which was common at
the Temple of Epidaurus and which still
survives in the great church at Tenos.
Similar examples of sacred wells in
churches may be found in the Island of
Paros and In the still more famous case
of the Virgin Fountain of Balukli
near Constantinople. which first became
celebrated in the time of Leo the Great
in the fifth century. and was inclosed in
a splendid church by Justinian. 1t was
attacked and the church destroyed by
Simeon. the great Bulgarian Car, in one
of his invasions. 1t was from this we'll
that the fish jumped into the monks fry
ing pan. according to a well known legend,
when the Turks took the imperial city.

Protect the Native Plants.
rom the Hoston Adverttser

Every normal and reasonable lover of
wild flowers and plants has forced un-
pleasantly upon him, or her, the fact that
indiscriminate and wasteful plucking of
these wild things has worked havoc In
many cases irreparable, and has even led
to the practical extinction Of species in
wide areas where they once were plenty.
Such will welcome the efforts of the So

were to be offered at Vancouver some
