SHAH OF PERSIA

CALLED BY DEATH His Subjects Hear-the News Without Expressing any Particular Emotion. ARE NO PRETENDERS NOW foriAH HAD EIGHT HUNDRED WIVES TO MOURN HIS DEMISEMOHAMMED ALL MIRZA GOES TO THRONE. IPuMishers' Tress.j Yeneran, Pcixla, Jan. 9. Official announcement cf the death of the shah was made at the office of the prand vizier. News cf the death of the shah v.as received quietly by the people. The deceased shah was well edu cated. Besides knowing Arabic anc Turkish, he spoke French fluently and was well grounded in the philos ophy of Aristotle and Plato. He was HAH OP PERSIA. extremely eccentric and his courtiers were always on the alert when he. was on a royal tour, wondering what he would. do next. Ilia jewelry was among the . most valuable in the world, and his harem contained 800 wives. "'' u , . Muzaffar-ed Din was born at Teheran, March 23, 1S53, and succeeded his father, Xasr-ed-Din, on the death of the latter. May 1, 1S96. Muzaffared Din Was the second son of the Nasr-ed-Din, but was appointed heir r the throne. Nasr-ed-Din was assassinated May 1, 1896, in the Mosuqe of Abdul Azim, near Teheran, and while Mu-laffar-ed Din ascended the throne, the same day, it was not until June 8, 1896, that he was formally invested with sovereign power. A proclamation announcing accession to the throne by Mohammed All Mlrza, is expected at once, after which the high clergy, ministers and public functionaries will immediately repair to the palace and recognize the new ruler. Coronation of the new shah probably will take place shortly aftei the funeral. Trading Persian officials do no, credit the report that trouble is likely to follow tlie death of the shah. Certainly there will be no internal trouble, as there are no pretenders to challenge the crown prince's title to the throne. Moreover, the masses of the people are devoted to the present dynasty, and had a particular attachment to the lafe shah as well as to his eldest son and successor. Concerning reports of foreign controversies they do not anticipate any disturbance of present conditions. It can be definitely stated that Russia and Great Britain had extended exchanges of views relative to the existing rituation, and discussed an accord under which, during the crucial period, following a change of rulers, neither power will seek to advance it interests, politically or territorially. It came up as an incident in negotiations for a new Anglo-Rus-Fian understanding relative to spheres of influence of the two countries in 'Persia. Chances of internal disorder are minimized by the fact that the new' shah already was installed at Teheran, having become repent and taken up all the reins of the ruler of the country. Heretofore successors to the throne remained in distant provinces until officially installed, thus leaving a virtual interregnum of about three months, during which the provincial governors and other officials enriched themselves, thereby creating great ropular discontent. If precedent is followed the body of Muzaffar-ed Din will lie in state eight or ten days, in the splendid hall cf the royal palace, and during all that time crowds of priests will surround the catafalque, chanting prayers from the koran. TlT" rnblic will be allowed to . pay a last trHrite to the dead monarch by filing past his coffin. The body of the shah will be buried In the Abdul Azin mosque, five miles rutside the city of Teheran, where for centuries the shahs of Persia have been buried. The funeral procession will be attended by the usual military display. Raid on Coal Train. I Publishers' Press. 1 North Yakima. 'Wash..

ARMY AND NAVY

SUFFER GIG LDSS Much Money Requtred to Repair Damage Done by the Gulf Storm Last Fall. LITTLE VIXEN GROUNDED FAMOUS FIGHTER WHICH TOOK PART IN BATTLE OF SANTIAGO, IS HIGH ON THE BEACH AT PENSACOLA. IPubllshers' 1'ressj Washington. Jan. 3. Army and navy' authorities have been hard at work repairing damages to ships and forts, caused by the gulf storm last fall. They have completed practically all the estimates necessary as a basis for appropriations for this purpose. The army probably sustained the greatest monetary damage, and Quartermaster General Humphrey asks congress for $264,000 for the reconstruction of Fort Morgan, on Mobile bay, and Fort Barrancas, at Pensacola. He also requests an appropriation of $23,000 to repair barracks and quarters at Fort St.- Philip, at the mouth of the Mississippi river. In anticipation of these estimates being , included in one of the deficiency ap-. 1 propriation bills, the quartermaster s department sent experts-to fortifications needing repair to make requisij tion for necessary materials. ' Though not so large in a pecuniary sense, the naval losses included several vessels that were engaged in the Spanish war. The Gloucester, which, . under Wainwright's command, had i such a brilliant history at Santiago and in Porio Rico, lies far on the beach at Pensacola. Naval constructors secured the use of a big dredge and have almost completed a channel to bring the ship down to deep water. Several tnes the engineers had to ; abando: f he line of operations be cause the dredge ran into old wans, docks and other structures bf a past era that were not known to be underground. It is estimated that $20,000 will repair the damage to the ship. She will be launched in the spring and turned over to the naval militia as a drill ship. The Machias is completely under water, and wreckers trying to raise her have had a hard time. Several times the ship dropped to the bottom, after having been partly raised. Divers are plugging up holes in her bottom and reports are that the Machias will soon be afloat, when it will be possible to more closely estimate the amount required to put her .into shape for active service. The Isla la Luzon, through collisions with several craft blown away from their moorings during the storm at Pensacola, was scratched and dented about the hull, but it is found that she sustained no substantial damage. The little Vixen, one of the shjps in the famous battle of Santiago, like the Gloucester, lies high on the" beach at Pensacora, but the Inspectors report that she is in good shape, having been thoroughly repaired before the hurricane, and can be floated at an expense of $10,000 or $15,000. The princlnal damage is a lost rudder post. WOOD IS C0IMG HOME General Now in Command In the Philippines, to Be Given Duty In This Country. LPubltshers' Pressj Washington, Jan. 9.
