SHAH WANTS ELECTRIC ROADS.
Interesting Interview With His Eny
llsh A rent.
NEW TORK. Aug. It The Shah of
Persia has had an ajrnit in this coun
try for a fortnight examining the elec
tric trolley system of Greater New
York, preparatory to Introducing elec
tric travel between Teheran and a
portion of the Caspian Sea. These S3
miles of trolley will be the longest elec
tric railway In Asia.
Tho Shah's agont, John Marsdon
Ward, an Englishman, has been for
more than fifteen years attached to
the personal service of the Shah and
has resided at Teheran. Frequent trips
to Europe have kept him In touch with
the progress of Invention and art. He
was a protege of B. 3. Hotchkiss, the
American Inventor, and has introduced
Into the Shah'a capital the telephone
and other modern appliances. Since
nip arrival he has be?n -tnvestUatlng
the trolley systems in the city, the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit and Metropo!
itaa having furnished him every fa
cility. Mr. Ward was found at the Secor
ship-yard at Bayridjre. whither he had
gon to give an order for a launch for
the Shah's use at his winter residence
on the Persian gulf near Busra the
PaU'ora of old "Blnbad. the Sailor."
ri ko te Phli id ?Iphla next week," he
said, ''to Visit the Baldwin Coepmotlve
Works, with vie to making & re
port upon engines for use on the new !
Tatiivi- between Teheran and the Per- I
ian gu"lf. One and ! fWtf ,
line of railway WlH Hi pushed through
3 the gulf with all possible speed. The
roads will be built largely by Russian
capital and Russian engineers.
"The general impression about Per
sia. I that It is a land of desperadoes.
Nothing could be further from the
truth. Persia la not a bad country to
live in. I have a house at Teheran
that has the nost complete sanltaxy
-fitting. It contains a porcelain bath,
purchased In Ybnna. It Is lighted With
electricity, and a telephone connects It
with the palace and the various offices
I rlslt. There are many handsome cabs
in Teheran and I generally drive In one.
Most Americansand Europeans think
we ride camels and camp out. but we
don't.
"I do not wish to discuss His Maj
esty's affairs." added Mr. Ward. "My
relations with His Majesty are purely
business ones. I hive nothing to do
with the policy of the government to
ward Russia or Great Britain. Not the
slightest Attempt has ever been made
to Interfere with my religious views.
I am a member of the English church
nnd serve my God In my own way.
"The Shah is a very Intelligent ruler.
His Majesty has been thrice to Eu
rope and on this occasion he has de
voted much time to examining novel
til's at the Parl9 exposition. The pa
pers say he has bought several auto
mobiles. Doubtless that Is true. But
His Majesty has had a French gaso
line motor carriage for more than two
years. It is a well-known object on
the drives around Teheran. I am look
ing over the automobile ground here
and may buy one or more If a decided
novelty Is discovered. Ten years from
now Persia will be abreast of the na
tions of Europe In everything but the
fine arts.
"Th. great conflict In China may d3
Jay Russia's advance upon India, but
the day for that move Is practically
fixed. Russia can occupy Herat any
day she wishes. It Is the gateway to
India,
"Persia owes much to Russia. The
Czar has not attempted to dominate In
any way the affairs at Teheran. Russia
U doing more for the rest of the
vorid than Is any other one nation."
Mr. Ward will make a hurried trip
to Chicago and will then sail for Paris
to accompany the Shah on his return
to Teheran. A small steamer has been
chartered at Hull, England, that will
proceed to Havre and load all the mer
chandise and Inventions that have been
purchased her? and In Europe. The
steamer will clear for the Black Sea
and the goods will be forwarded over
the trans-Caucasian railway to Baku.
This Is tli-e most direct route to Te
heran at present, but when the railroads
across Persia are finished, the Persian
gulf will again become one of the fa
miliar parts of the world to shipmas
ters. American breadstuff will there
find a great market in the future, in
Mr. Ward's opinion.

BARKER INELIGIBLE.
Middle-of-the-Roaders Are Deprived of
Their Can-lidate.
CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-A special to the
Record, from Lincoln, Neb., says:
A sensation has beep, caused by the
discovery that Wharton Barker, middle-of-the-road
candidate for president
on the Populist ticket, Is ineligible for
the office to which he aspires.
It Is said that while superintending
soma Improvements In Rurfsia some
years ago, Mr. Barker was made "Lord
of St. Wlecealaa," by the czar. Be
fore accepting the title he did not ask
congress to grant him the privilege,
and he is therefore Ineligible because
he forfeited his citizenship by accept
ing the honor without permission of the
United States authorities. If this
proves true Mr. Barker must step down
and out. Ignatius Donnelly would suc
ceed him as candidate for president.

her son. the Rev. Benjamin C. Marsh,
who for two years has been a mission
ary In the Anglo-Chinese school at Foo
Chow. China, The letter wag written
at Kuling. a few miles from Foo Chow,
and was dated July 9. He says:
"It Is estimated that over 2000 per
sons were drowned by the overflow of
the Minn river last week. The bridge
of th Thousand Agts, as It Is called,
was broken in two places. Those who
attempted to enw were never seen
again. One of the wretched conditions
was that they did not like to leave
their floating homes because robbers
would come and carry off everything of
value. Some one would always go with
fhe house when It Ml or floated away.
After the flood the oiTial9 raised about
14000 to help the sufferers.
"Although at present we go when
ever and whenever we please, still we
d"J pot know when the Boxer trouble
may break out here. The viceroy of

and was an extreme advocate of Mr.
George's single tax theories."

reasons official experts here do not yet
permit themselves to Indulge In too con

Cheng's declaration that the legations
were certainly safe on Sunday last. On
receipt of the Chinese minister's com
munication, which was Immediately
conveyjd to Lord Salisbury by tele
graph, the premier sent Instruction to
the foreign office to send a rpply In

message was of considerable length and
placed Sir Claude In possession of the
latest facts of the situation. Including
the progris of thrj relief forces. It was
