Prince anbes Sultnneh, third son of the
» late shah. has retired to his pulses at the
request of the government.
The heir apparent, Muster-admin,
was immediately advised of the assassina-
tion of his father, and will leave strlz,
where he was sojourning, for Tebcran as
soon as possible.
Nasir-od-Din Shah, or, to call him by
his official title, shahinshah, or king of
kings, was absolute ruler of Persia and
mastir of the lives and goods of all his
subjects. He was the oldest son of Mo.
bummed Shah and succeeded to the throne
on' the death of his father on Sept. 10,
1848. He leaves 0 sons and 1s daughters.
Apart from these, the royal family is very
numerous. There are some thousands of
princes and princesses. including ii broth-
ers. 2 sisters and 140 uncles and cousins.
The whole revenue of the country being
at their disposal, recent sovereigns of
Persia have been able to amass enormous
private fortunes. That of the dead shah
is reported to amount toabout 030,000,000,
meat of it in the shape of diamonds.
The Deryainur of 188 carats and the
Togimoh of 140 carats are among the
crown jewels.
The father of the late shah adopted a
policy of friendship toward the European
powers. anir-ed- Din had hardly mounted
the throne when an attempt was made on
his life without success. At first he showed
a desire to reform the methods of the Pen
sinn government, but he found himself
opposed in these attempts by court in-
trigues. The shah was an accomplished
scholar in Persian and Turkish. known
good deal of history and had traveled cx-
tensiveiy.
Au Ally of Russia. ‘
At the Dulnnlng of the war between
Russia and Turkey in 180:3 he declared
himself neutral, but shortly before its
close he sided with Russia. Next year. in
conseqenuc‘e of the occupation of Horst by
Persian troops.‘the government of India
declared war against him (Nov. 1. land).
General Outram captured Kurrach and
some other places. Finally 0 treaty of
peace was signed in Paris by Lord Cowley
and the Persian ambassador, England ob-
taining favorable terms:
in the following years the shah had a
number of little wars with the neighbor-
ing states and was very successful in an
expedition against the Turcomans. After
peace had been obtained on his borders the
shah spent considerable time visiting dif-
ferent parts of his own dominions. He
introduced wostorn discipline and meth-
ods into the organization of his army. In
idol he )rcsided at the opening of the
first i of the electric telegraph in his

The discovery of an alleged conspiracy by
members of this sect was the cause of a
number of atrocious executions, which
took place under the very eyes of the Eu-
ropean representatives.
The best proof of the unusual security
of the shah as a Pers'nn monarch was to
betcund in the fact that when he visited
lturope in 1870 he was absent for five
months. yet not a breath of sedition dis-
turbed Persia in that time.
During his trip the shah ascended the
Volga. visited Moscow and St. Peters-
burg. erased to Berlin and Cologne, pro-
ceeded thence to the ilhine and then
went to Brussels. He then visited London
and many of the English provinces.

curious stories. The doings of the eastern
monarch, his attendants and counters
