Persia Menaeed by Powers.

London-Affairs in Persia have
reached stage which promises fur
ther encroachments upon that king
dom's independence by Russia and
Great Britain. Since their agreement,
dividing the country into spheres of
influence, these two nations appear
to have worked in harmony in the di-
rection Of gradual absorption. If Rus
sia enforces her ultimatum by occupy
ing a part Of the north, Great Britain
is likely to take corresponding step
in the south. Russia's ultimatum,
which was presented to the Persian
government more than a week ago,
declared that unless apologies were
made for the alleged insult to N. Pet
rolf, the Russian vice consul, on the
occasion of the seizure of the prop
erty of Shua-esISultaneh,a and Persia
made other reparation, Russia would
occupy two of the provinces in the
north.
