Evil Effects Already Felt.

IT is stated from authoritative
sources that the above mandate of

ready has had it's evil effects. Many
have noticed the waning of Russian
commercial prestige in Persia For a
long time past Mini Novgoro1 has been
the principal mart of Russo Persian
commerce. This year. however" saws
an authority, that mart prepared for
Russian commerce a bitter deception
There were but few Persian tradesmen
and even they made no large purchases
newspaper correspondents and Stats
ucians VINO sought information on the
causes OF this fact invariably had for
answer: The Persian public desires no
more Russian merchandise
IL Is a matter Of interest whether in
view OF these facts. Russia has taken
any steps to remedy situation so
preJudicial TO her interests To the
contrary, quite recently a new troop of
Cossacks was sent TO Tabriz. The Per-
sian government issued a strong note
OF protest against this unwarrantable
procedure. re:terating at the same time
the demand that the entire Russian
garrison--whose presence was gener-
ally agreed to be the cause of great
unrest--should be withdrawn.
The Russian minister at Teheran re-
turned this protest with q curt note to
the effect that Russia would not con-

Commerce Has Suffered.

Those conversant with affairs in Persia
declare that the presence of Russian
troops has hot proved beneficial to the
Russian trade and commercial interests.
Recent trade statistics show a decrease.
since the coming of the Russian troops,
in the Russian trade OF the northern
provinces, while the southern ports have
gained at least ~ per cent in the last
orders in the south notwithstanding. The
sole reason for the decrease in Russian
trade is the change in the public senti-
ment, brought about by the presence Of
these troops. No better instance of the
changed public feeling can be given than
to call attention to the recent mandate
addressed to the Persian parliament by
tho two highest Persian pontiffs residing
in the holy city Of Najef. The mandate
Russian products and Russian-made
goods. In part /. reads as follows:
ut is in vain that for ten months past
VIC tMoslem high pontificate) have been
awaiting the withdrawal of the Russian
troops. The ministerial crises, the secret
;ntrieues and the various causes. open
and. secret. have delayed the recalling of
these troops. According to the news
which has been communicated to us, this
measure Is actually delayed from day
to day. The presence of these foreign
troops Is contrary to the principles of
our constitution, to the observance of
Persian independence. to the precepts
of our religion and also to the laws of
humanity. Ii the international law is to
be taken into consideration and it's pre-
scriptions must be observed, then how
long ought we to keep silence? Until
when should we remain patient?
