STEAMER HAD MARION. ESCAPE
Canadian Pacific Passenger Boat Tees
Rescued From Rocks.

Victoria-Lost for nearly 70 hours,
following going on the rocks in Kyu-
quot Sound, the Canadian Pacific
steamer Tees, for which grave fears
had been entertained since Wednes-
day morning, when she sent out dis
tress calls, is afloat and all aboard
are safe.
The Canadian fisheries tug William
Jolliffe picked up lifeboat from the
Tees, in which were Chief Officer
Thompson and four Of the steamers
crew.
The men piloted the Jolliffe to the
distressed steamer and three boats
are now standing by, expecting to tow
her to Victoria.
Concerts were arranged by the stew
ard and while the rescue steamers
were hurrying through the fog and
fighting the heavy seas, trying to
enter the sound to lend aid, those
aboard the vessel kept good cheer and
whiled away the time merrily. There
were 81 first cabin and seven second
cabin passengers.
The wireless operator worked his
key constantly, but the interference
of the high cliffs surrounding the help

ment over the warlike action Of Rus
STA, and the excitement in the capital
was intense at the news Of the Rus
sian advance. Placards proclaiming
death or independence" were posted
both on the walls Of the city and on
the legations. Thousands of persons
formed in procession and marched past
the Legations.
To add to the excitement two prom
inent politicians were assassinated.
Hadji Mohammed Tagi, prominent
reactionary, was killed in the capital.
Prince Firman Firma, at one time
minister Of justice and subsequently,
governor of the province Of Azerbai-
jan, was assassinated at Kasbin, 80
miles northwest Of Teheran.
Persia's reply to Russia's ultima
tum is calm. It gives the reasons for
the rejection Of Russia's demands and
invites the Russian government to ex-
anime into the facts more closely and
then reformulate her demands.
Messages from the provinces assure
the Persian government Of unlimited
support. A general boycott on Rus
sian goods has been begun and the
people are preventing the use Of the
Russian tramway.

gan Shuster, the American treasurer
general, was not appointed by Mr..
Shuster, but has been in the Persian
Northern service for two years. Mr..
Shuster merely transferred him to q
new post at Tabriz.
The treasurer general has decided to
dispense with the services Of British
officials appointed by him in North
ern Persia, with the exception of one
man, who has contract approved by
the national council. This is Mr..
Shuster's reply to the charge that he
is trying to Anglicize the service. In
an interview he said:
"Sir Edward Grey, the British for
eign secretary, accuses me Of endeav-
oring to Anglicize the Persian service.
This is absolutely false. It is true
that / am seeking here for employees

with a knowledge of the Persian lam
guage and customs. have found sew
