Country.
London. Nov. 13.?Affairs In Per?
sia have reached a stage which prom?
ises fur'.her encroachments upon that
kingdom s Independence by Russia
and Ureat Britain. ?lnce their agree?
ment dividing the country into
spheres of influence, these two nations
appear to irave worked In harmony
in the direction of gradual almorp
tlon.
If Russia enforced her ultimatum
by occupying a pait of the north,
Great Britain Is likely to take a cor?
responding step In the south. Russia's
ultimatum, which ^as presented to
the Porslan government more than a
week ago, declared that unless apolo?
gies were made for the alleged insult
to at. Petroff, the Russian vice consul,
on the occasion of the seiiure of tho
property of Shua Es Sultaneh, and
Persia made other reparation Russia
would occupy two of the provinces In
the north.
The Times, replying to a long com?
munication from W. Morgan Shuster,
the American treasurer general of
Persia, complaining that Russia and
Great Britain are endeavoring to de?
stroy the Independence of Persia, de?
nies that Persia Is Independent. It
says that Russia and Great Britain
exercise control over Persia akin to
that by guardians over a minor.

ish prank of throwing nitro-glycer

sulted in an explosion that instantly
killed one boy and two companions
died later at the general hospital.
The dead are:
John McGuire, aged 14; Archie
Clark, aged 12; William Perry, ag?d

The force of the explosion shat?
tered windows within a radius 'of 500
feet. It is believed that the boys
threw about 4 50 of the blasting car?
tridges Into the fire. They took^ them
from the plant of the Rochester Lime
I
company.
The body of Perry was hurled
high in the air over a tall tree and
landed in the branches of an apple
tree. The head was found on the
roof of a back kitchen of a dwell?

TO CHANGE ANTI-TRUST LAW.
Democrats Will Make Fight For
Amendments.
Washington, Nov. 13.?Amendment
of the Sherman anti-trust law at the
coming session of congress is to be
undertaken in earnest by Democrats
of the house, according to a declara?
tion today by Representative Uenrv
of Texas, ranking member of the
committee on judiciary.
In addition to anti-trust legislation
the judiciary committee also has de?
cided upon revision of the injunc?
tion statutes and the laws regulating
to indirect contempt cases.
Efforts of the committee will be di?
rected Chiefly toward elimination from
the statute of the "rule of reason"
as interpreted by the supreme court.
A law providing trial by jury in
cases of indirect contempt of court
and modification of the Injunction re?
strictions are regarded by the Demo?
cratic leaders as essential to fulfill?
ment of the party pledges as ex?
pressed In the platform of the Den?
ver convention.
