LONDON, Nov. 16. The Shah of Persia, who is visiting England, bears little resemblance, physically or otherwise, to that other Shah, Nasrud-dln who came here in 1873 and again in 1879, and on both oc casions left behind him some not particularly savory memories. There was little of the saint about him, but he was picturesque and could not be restricted to the bounds of English conventional respeccabllity Therefore the public of a generation ago took a much keener interest in him than Londoners are doing in the reigning Shah. The latter is fat and placid, does everything that he is told to do, nev er upsets the programmes that are prepared for him and shocks no one. In making a comparison between the two the Star recalls some of the escapades of Nasud-dln when he via itod these shores. During his 73 visit, it says, he de manded to see a prize fight. So, af ter a consultation with Lord Queens berry, a glove fight was arranged for his delectation in Buckingham Palace stables. As usual the Shah. waB late, so the venue was changed to a quiet spot in the comer of the palace gardens. On his way, fhe Shah dashed thru a room where a deputation, of bishops-was waiting to' see him.. to-be-Beech his august protection for -the Christians in Persia. They followed him into the gardens and-1 p'feently foUnd themselves- in a ring around two prize-fighters. The fight was stopped; the Shah waxed angry and the good Lord Shaftesbury of piou-s memory, who led the deputation, de nounced the holding of "a prize fight in the Queen's Palace." But things were ultimately smoothed over, though what the Shah said about- the Christians in Persia required a strong gloss in the interpretation. no CONFIRMATION" OF CAPTURE OF VIIJ.V JUAREZ, Do1! 1 Mexican of ficials here early today woro with out confirmation of tho reported capture of Francisco Villa by mem bers of his band yesterday.
