determined to prevent it, but it cannot be said that they have as yet proved their
determination by a willingness to sacrifice their own interests and selfish aims for the
public good. At the same time all observers appear to be agreed that the popular and
patriotic movement is a very strong one, and is a new and formidable element in Persian
politics.

General Situation.
THE north-west of Persia continues to be in an unsettled condition, but the rest of
the country appears to be normal, and the situation at Tehran is unchanged.
Azerbaijan.
The situation at Tabreez continues to be calm, but at Ardebil there has been a
recrudescence of the disturbances reported last month. The Russian Agent has been
the object of the attacks of the people, who looted his house.
At Astara the buildings of the Russian fisheries have been burned.
Prince Farman Farma, Minister of Justice, has been sent off in great haste to take
over the Governorship of the province from Nizam-ul-Mulk, who was powerless to deal
with the situation.
Resht.
Minor disturbances have occurred in the districts, but the town has remained
quiet.
Ispahan.
An emissary of Sheikh Fazalullah of Tehran has arrived to form a party against
the Tehran Assembly, whom he declares to be “ infidels and Babis ”; he adds that the
effect of Parliamentary institutions will be to annihilate the religion of Islam. It is
understood that the Tehran Assembly has sent a representative to counteract the
influence of this emissary.
The Aghas retain their influence, so much so that the Governor declared that
he was unable to arrest the persons who beat the Consulate gholam, in view of the
opposition of the Aghas, i.e., Agha Nejefi and his brother.
Seistan.
The mollahs of Seistan have been preaching in favour of a local Assembly, and
telegrams on the subject have passed between them and the Tehran Assembly. The
movement seems confined to the Clerical party, and is being opposed by the Deputy
Governor.
Kermanshah.
The town continued quiet, as far as the rival patties are concerned, but robbery
and murder are of constant occurrence, and the town cannot be considered safe at night
for pedestrians.
Bus hire.
The spread of lawlessness in Bushire during the last few months is the subject of
remark, and is attributed to the incapacity of the Governor. Quite recently the barber
