IN THE LAND OF THE SHAH. MISERY IS VERY GENERAL IX THIS ORIENTAL, COt'NTRY. Parse*** ami Xlolin minetlan* Some Personal Recollection* of n Trip Through Persia—The Craze for Titles Carried to an Extreme. From the Philadelphia Record. The European trip of the Shah ar.d the attempt to assassinate him have attract- , ,and attention to that country, the history of which dates from hoary antiquity. Per sia is one of the four countries—China, Turkey and Morocco fce.ng the other thrt—which have been marked out os ready for partit on. It3 present condition is so wretched that its inhabitants are utterly indifferent to whatever political changes may take place, as no change could well be for th<" worse. Tb? Shah is apparently a well-intentioned man, but *o far he has done nothing, nor does it seem likely that he will be able to do anything for the welfare of his people. That the prevailing misery and misgov ernment have led to general and or gan 7-ed outbreaks aga'r.s the existing condition of affairs is due to two causes; tte first, that the Persians, all Ori entnls*. are easy-going and Png-suffering; the second, that they are vaguely look ing for help from without. The rorslans—like the rest of the Quad ruple alliance to which they belong—have the highest possible opinion of themselves, and call the liani, the noble; the st of the world they name the Tu ra ni, the ignoble. Parsec* and Mohammedans. Practically all the Persians- are Parsecs or Mohammedans, the latttr being by tar more numerous. The Par.ees are the direct descendants of the old P rs an fire worshippers, whose religion they maintain rn ite pristine purity. I,ike their co-relig ion Ist in they are distinguished for their nobility and uprightne>s of char acter. Because o? their firo-worshlp they were formerly subjected to persecution, hut row live in pface among the Moham medans. There are but some 40) or 50) fnrni ies of Parsees left. Their capital is Obest. It :s noticeable that even among the Mohammedans there are taints of fire worship, for in the walls of many of the towns through which I passed I noticed riches, in which, at suntise pnd sunset, trumpets are blown and drums banged in honor of the great luminary. The noise made is enough to wake the dead, and worse still to wake the living. The Mo hammedans belong to the Shiite sect, and they have th • most lively, natural and reiigious hatred of ar.d cent mpt fo- the'r Turkish co-religionists, who belong to the unorthodox or Sunnite sect. V (lifted People. The Persians are a gifted and charming people, of a high grade of intelligence, al though their ' character is marred by strong shadows. Between the upper and lower classes there is a great gulf—a gulf as great and impassable as that which di vided Dives from Lazarus. The “up pers” treat the “lowers” as if they were dirt; the “lowers” l>ow To the “uppers” as if they were gods. What impressed me most among the Persians* was their universal thirst for gold and their abnormal greed for titles, decorations and honors. If Mr. United- States-English Astor would go to that country he would be received as a man aftfcr their own heart, and would get more titles than he could remember—and new ones every day. The Persian is the most consummate swaggerer conceivable. In his mind clothes come immediately after money and titles In importance. His idea of happiness is to strut about in the most magnificent coats, and to produce due ef fect. he frequently piles six or seven on top of each or her. But, to go back to litles. such appellations as excellency, worthiness, honor, etc., are ns common there as Mr. in the Northern states or '•olonel in the Sou4h. Even the servants in the kitchen address each other in the most highfalutin style, for instance: “Will your Honor fcour the dishes?” “I will see your Excellency hanged first. It’s your turn to-day.” Women Without Rights. The Persian women may have rights, hut they have ye*t to be discovered. The marriage bond is not allowed to become tiresome to man, who very easily gets rid of a wdfe he no longer wants by sending her back to her father. The Shah has the most delightful way of freeing himself of those who are no longer pleasing to him, and at the same time of gratifying Ms spite—he gives them to his ministers. The relations between the Persian mon arch and his people are less than those of ruler to his subjects than of a father to his children—a father whose children have the righl! to support him. If the Shah learns that one of his beloved subjects is getting wealthy, or wealthier, he visits him. This visit is rendered all the more serious an honor as His Majesty never travels in his own country with a retinue of less than several hundreds, all of whom have to be fed, and who expect (and ob tain) presen’s, from their unwilling host. They only w r ay to get rid of them is to pay them to go away. The Shah’s Private City. The Shah’s (figurative) tent is pitched at Teheran. There rests his ark—in olhr words, his private city. This consists c-f the Rirnum. or outer city, for men; and the. Erdirum, or reserved inner city, for v/omen. There is not one, but several palaces in one of which is a large room devoted to the storage of the treasures of the Shah. In this room >here are twelve bollcw pillars, of from six to seven feet high and one foot indiametcr, all of which are full of pearls. Boxes lie about full of rubies, emeralds, diamonds and other precious stones. These boxes are from Delhi, and were p<art of the plunder brought back frbm that city by an an cestor of the Shah, who made and annexa tion tfip there. One of the most remarka ble objects of interest in the room is a globe, one and a half feet in diameter, of solid gold, which revolves in a golden Irame. On this globe the equator and the tropics are marked in diamonds; the bor ders of countries are picked out In rubles, turquoises and pearls; while the place oc cupied on the earth's surface by the Per sian monarchy is completely covered with diamonds of remarkable brilliance. The noble Persian does not condescend to walk about the streets, but drives in a closed carriage, attended by numerous out riders r.nd attendants. The whole cortege moves at a great rate, and fi is w’ell for the common people in the way if they can go* off the earth. It sometimes happens that the overhanging burden of a mule ig < aught by the wheel and thrown on the ground. The muleteer naturally curses, the driver lashes him in the face with his '•hip for daring to be in the way, and drives on The Ladles of the Zennnn. One of the sights of Teheran is the ap pearance of the Shah and the ladies of ’/.- nona. Red-coaied outrunners, with sil er-headed canes, and headgear like the omb of • rooster; *|>earmen from the loyal nomadic tribes, and the executioner, w'ith his Ynule hearing his weapons. Them* form the advance guard and surround the Shah. The ladies teach of whom Is borne in a litter swung betw'een two mules or hcrse.ii) are much more thickly surround ed ;.nd I was warned not to try to CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought them, as it might result in an application of tire bastinado. The Instruments with which the govern- j ment is carried on are the Telleck and the i Tscnoek The first is a stout stick; the latier a bundle of slim and supple rods. It h typical of Persia that when the rods I nave been applied, the seourgers ask the victim for a p r esent. Every government official, from the gov ernor of a prevince to the humble scribe, pays a certain sum for his post, and take3 good care to get back what he invests, with *l6 good an interest as possible. Much was expected from the European trip of the late Shah. The only result which I noticed was the introduction of patent leather shoes. I nder the presem shah the squeezing of ♦he provinces has been carried on to a greater extent than ever, and England and Russia rook advantage of the dissatisfac tion to step in. It was when Russian in fluence began to predominate that the shah resolved to follow the example of his father and make a European trip. MR. WESTCOTT TESTIFIES. Tell* of Handling Carter’s Bond*. Received From Greene. The New York Sun of Saturday has the following respecting the story told by Mr. R. F. Westcott on the stand before Uni ted States Commissioner Shields, in the Greene-Gaynors heaVing: Capt. Carter was appointed to be the military attache at the Court of St. Jnmos in the summer of 1897. He had been at his new post only a few days when his successor at Savannah. Capt. Gillette, discovered a state of affairs in the gov ernment work there that called for an investigation of Capt. Carter’s conduct. A board of inquiry was appointed and* Capt. Carter at once returned to thl country. The examination of Mr. West cott began with the questions about events immediately following Capt. Carter’s re turn to this country. Mr. Erwin asked him when he first had any talk with Oapr. Carter about his troubles. Mr. Westcott, who was clearly nervous and unhappy, said that Carter had said nothing tbout the cause for his return from England a! first. His first intimation that any thing out of the wnv had happened was when Carter telegraphed to him to come to Washington. He found Car/er there. They had lunch together and /arter said that he had osked his fatVr-in-law to come to Washington because he was lonely and wanted company. They re turned at once to New York. On their arrival Mr. Westcott said Carter told.him that he was in trouble. He said that he was afraid that he would be arrested on account of the proceedings of the Court of Inquiry, nnd that in that case ai: his papers would be seized bv the government. He asked Mr. Westcott to take charge for him of certain stocks and bonds of great value. Mr. Westcott said that he at first refused to hove anything t<> do with the property, as he had some doubt as to how much its possession might implicate him in any proceedings that might he taken against Carter. Carter then told him. he continued, that ihe stocks and bonds had already been turned over by Carter to Greene and the Gaynors and that he did not care to have them keep so much, that It might be diffi cult for him to reclaim. Upon these rep ■ esentations Mr. Westcott consented to receive the papers after receiving the ad vice of his counsel. Thomas Thatcher, that he might do so without entangling him self. He telephoned to Greene, who was at the Hoffman House, asking for a meet ing for the handing over of the securities. Greene and the Gaynors showed some re luctance in meeting his requests, but after a few days Greene appeared at Westcott’s city house with all the securities amounting to about $450,000. Greene, Mr Westcott said, wanted to leave the bonds there, but Westcott would not have them in the house when anybody beside himself knew they were there. Mr. Westcott said this with a grin. He then compelled Greene to accompany him downtown to the vaults at 142 Broadway, where the se curities were placed in a box hired by Mr. Westcott. Afterward, when he had learn ed more about the way in which Carter had acquired these bonds, Mr. Westcott, by advice of counsel, returned them to Carter, taking a receipt for them. The re ceipt was put in evidence. Mr. Westcott told how the Greene-Gay nor people had attempted to convince him that he was a partner in the Atlantic ( ontraeting Company. The counsel of the accused men visited his counsel, he said and tried to secure from him an acknowl edgment that he was a partner in the con cern. At last Greene admitted in the the presence of Mr. Thatcher that Mr Westcott had never been a partner In the contracting firm and that the only object of getting him to say that he had been a member was to save Carter. After that, Mr. Westcott said. Carter and the olhers asked him to go before the court of inquiry and state that all the great sums which passed through Car ters hands belonged to Westcott and had been handled by Carter merely as West cott's attorney. “I told them," said the witness, "that I couldn't do that. rt would have been a lie; I couldn't swear to what I knew as a lie. They kept after me all the time and I went to Europe and stayed until It was all over.” District Attorney Erwin then began to bring out the business relations between Carter and Mr. Westcott. He showed that in several eases where Carter had bought pieces of property in the name of Robert F. Westcott, the property had af terward been transferred to Carter, and Carter had paid Mr. Westcott for it in full. He also testified that bonds which Carter had bought for Mr. Westcott had also been transferred to Carter upon the payment of the price of the bonds to Mr. Westcott. Mr. Westcott's testimony show ed that while Carter had full authority i to use Mr. Westcott’s hank account ns he Pleased, and to use his name as he pleas ed, large sums of money, of which Mr. Westcott had no knowledge, were added to the account in his absence and used in his name. These sums were with drawn afterward and made over to Car ter, to whom they belonged. In this way Mr. Westcott's acoaunts, which were in evidence, showed that Westcott had made loans to various sub-contractors in Sa vannah to carry on their work. Mr. West cott sold yesterday that he had never heard of these people and knew nothing of the loans. Mr Kellogg remarked once or twice during the examination that he wished he might have known the witness was coming He was not satisfied with the way in which the district attorney brought out seme of the testimony and constant ly accused him of leading the witness. "Treat him like any other witness!" he exclaimed once. "This Is a court. Ask him to name the date and place of con versation and then ask him who was present. The Secretary of War hasn't anything to do with this ” “I’m not sure,” said Mr. Westcott, ap pealing to the c mmissloner. "May I ans wer that question? I cannot very well protect myself ” "The Secretary of War will protect you." shouted Mr. Kellogg, bouncing up in his chair again. His manner was quite explosive. "His partner sits right over there to see that the deal goes through. This makes me llred, anyway. Protec tion!” Mr. SHmson had risen at the first men tl->n of the Secretary of War. He was sitting aerrss the table from Mr Kelloeg and was nearly fifteen feet from h'm. Mr. Stlmeon’s face was quite while. "What do you mean?" he satd to Mr. Kellogg and advanced a lorg step across the room. "Oh. go cn,” raid Mr Ke'logg. "I know y hat I am talking about. You can’t—'* '■What do you mean, sir?" repeated Mr Stlmson. who was bs!de the tabl“ by this time and was leaning across it, looking at Mr. Kellogg squarely In the eye,, The general uproar was constantly In creasing. The commissioner barely made himself heard as he shouted at the top THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, AUGUST 13, 1900. of his vcice: "Will somebody bring a United States Marshal here at once? I want a United States Marshal." Mr. Kellogg was quiet at once. He sat down and simply glared through h s glasses at everybody in the room. Ev erybody else was quiet. The Commis sioner said In a moderate tone; “I may have to have somebody arrested." "Let me say," eakl Mr. SHmson. "that Mr. Westcott is my personal client and that l*am here altogether in his inter est.” Mr. Kellogg bounced up, looked at the commissioner, bit hte lip end sal down. He then listened almost meekly to a brief lecture which was read to him by the commissioner. The examination of the witness went on. Check after check, deed after deed and contract after con tract was shown to the witness, who iden tified each one. It was quite impossible for one not familiar with the case to fol low the significance of the testimony, but Mr. Erwin said afterward that by com paring the hooks of the different banks In which Carter. Greene and the Gaynors had kept their accounts, and by looking over the books of the brokers nnd others with whom Carter had transactions and by an analysis of the Westcott accounts during the time that Carter had charge of them, it was susceptible of proof that every time a payment was made by Car ter to the contracting company as dis bursing agent only the part of It needed for current expenses was kept In Savan nah. The rest of it was deposited to the credit of one of the Gaynors or to the credit of Greene, in a New York hank. Within a day or two after it was deposited the amount was divided into thirds. Two thirds of It was traced by checks to the possession of the Gaynors and Greene after that, and one-third was checked out in cash. Invariably within a feiv days after such a division had been made Carter appeared in New York and bought stocks or bonds or real estate to the ex act amount of the one-third that had not been converted into cash. Nearly all these purchases were made in the name of Mr. Westcott. It was to prove that the purchases, although made under Mr. Westcott's name, were not really made for him. that his testimony was of the utmost value. Mr. Westcott's cross-examination was postponed until after the summer adjourn ment to Sept. 27. LOCAL PERSONAL. Mrs. Monahan of Augusta is at the Pu laski. Mr. E.
