The Russian press says Mr. Shuster alone
causes the necessity for Persia's fighting for
independence. The expelled Shah has Join
ed the Russian troops for replacement on the
throne. A possible solution is the Anglo
Russian Declaration imposing upon Persia
the rule of foreign born officials, who would
receive the Anglo Russian Convention as a
part of their instructions from Persia. Hith-
erto Persia has not recognized the Anglo
Russian Convention.
Berlin .advices state that the officials are
silent regarding the unofficial report of q
naval loan. Efforts are being made to end
the debate in the Reichstag, which begins
tomorrow, with a JOINT declaration by all
parties regarding Morocco and subsidiary
topics, indicating that Germany will not
concede to any State the role Of in
ternational referee in world politics and
that it is necessary she should maintain her
military establishment upon the basis of
conducting her foreign policy in accordance
with German interests alone An agreement
has already been reached between all par
ties excepting the Socialists.
New York, Dec. 4th-Despatches from
Santo Domingo announce that Congress has
elected Senior Victoria as Provisional Presi-
dent, and he will probably take the Oath of
Office on Friday. ALI is quiet in the Repub>
lie.
y sensation has been created by the con
fessions of Mr.. Mcnamara, Secretary and
Treasurer of the Br~idgeworkers' Union, that
he and his brother caused the explosion ut
the Times building at los Angeles, Callfor-
MIA, III October 1910. II is not doubted that
that outage was only one among one hundred
and thirteen similar crimes III which they
were implicated. Macminegal, an ~accomp'ice,
has confessed to another Los Angeles explo-
SION. The Trades Unions repudiate these
inhumau crimes, which they aIiege were
committed by traitors to the interests of
labour, but nevertheless Investigations are
proceeding tending to implicnte many Trade
Unionists and officials through the large
funds necessary to maintain criminals for

London, Dee. 5th-Despatches from Te-
heran announce the resignation of the
Persian Cabinet, and q squad of Cossacks
has arrived for the protection of the Rus
sian Legation. A mass meeting was held,
and ten thousand Persians, carrying banners
with the legend death or Independence
marched to the United States Legation,
and appealed to the Minister to urge bis
Government to support justice. Mr.. Shus-
tel's revocation of the criticised appoint
ments is regarded as embarrassing to Sir
Edward Grey, through removing the grounds
of his objections. The Persian Committee,
active in 1906, under the presidency Of
Lord Lamington, has been revived, and has
cabled to resident Taft its appreciation Of
MI. Shuster and hopes he will be sustained.
The Morning Post condemns this appeal to
the United States, regarding a matter Of
British policy, for the benefit Of Americans
of the aggressive, untravelled class, whose
reckless procedure so embarrasses Persia,
aud embroils Russia and England. The
Daily News, although a Government organ,
refuses to support Sir Edward Grey in this
