A new Commissioner {a on bin wav to Washington, The Shah of Pereia’s Huropean Tour and Its Probable Infuences Upon Asta. Of all the extraordinary movements and ad- ventures of the eventful age we live in, among the powers and potentates of the Old World, the present European tour of the Shah of Per- sia may be pronounced the most novel and remarkable. In stooping from his high estate as “‘King of Kings” to undertake this exten- sive journey for information asto the strength, and ways and means, and institutions and progress of the Great Powers of Europe—in thus breaking away from the barbaric isolation which has hedged in his predecessors for cen- turies, Nasr-edin confesses to the world that the contagion of the progressive spirit of the West has penetrated to Teheran, and that it is stirring the lately tor- pid body of Persia into active lifo again. But considering the fact that Persia is just emerging from a terrible ordeal of famine and _pestilenco—the most destructive visitation of the kind recorded in human history, cutting off hundreds of thousands of people, and adding vast districts, hitherto fruitful and populous, to the desolation of the surrounding deserte— this costly pleasure excursion of the Shah, for which it is said he has drawn from his Treas- ury the sum of twenty-five millions of dol- lars, is a problem which puzzles many an inquiring philosopher. It is conjectured that, fascinated by the stories of the high enjoyments among the infidels by the Sultan of Turkey and the Khedive of Egypt in their adventures abroad, the Shah of Persia was seized with the desire to show himeelf and to test his standing among the crowned heads of Europe, and that for this purpose he has seized the opportunity when his devoted sub- jects are too much absorbed in repairing their losses from the late famine to trouble them- selves with rebellious conspiracies during his absence. We think, however, that as the Shah, in various reforms introduced in his government, has shown himself to be a man of progress, the explanation of this European excursion is due to larger and broader motives and designs than mere personal vanity, pleasure or curiosity. He feels, perhaps, that Russia is crowding him from the North and the East, and that Turkey is but a feeble and precarious support in the West, and he wishes to be on the right side of the Czar. Occupy- ing a vast country of mountains, fer- tile districts and sterile deserts, without the advantages of navigable rivers, he real- i its necessities for railways, and he has entered into extensive contracts for railways and telegraphs. We may safely, then, assume that the Shah, in this European tour, isona Treconnoissance in reference to the political alliances and material improvements best cal- culated to strengthen him against possible fature contingencies. Nor can we doubt that in this view he is greatly moved by the desire to secure those railway faeilities with Western nations which, in the event of another famine within his dominions, will enable him promptly to relieve his suffering people. Accepting these as the motives and objects of this European exploring expedition by the “King of Kings,’’ we are naturally led to the conclusion that great results will follow to Persia and the whole ot Western and Central Asia and to the general commerce of the civil- ized world. If the reader will turn to the map of Asia he will see that on the southwest Persia has tho facilities of the Persian Gulf for the exchange of her products with those of other nations, while on all other sides her only means of transportation are by the caravan over desert wastes, asit was employed thousands of years ago. It will also be ob- served that the Euphrates River, after a south- easterly course through Asiatic Turkey of some eighteen hundred miles, is discharged into the Persian Gulf, and next that from Beyrout, on the Mediterraneah via Baalbec and Palmyra or Tadmor (the most prosperous of all overland caravan routes to the sea in the time of King Solomon), and thence to and down the Valley of the Euphrates, there is the most direct route for a railway, and England proposes some such line from the Mediterra- nean to Persia and the Persian Gulf. Allow- ing a thousand miles for the length of this road, we suppose that, including the transpor- tation of the ties from the sea coast and of the iron from England, the line, from the generally level character of the route, and the cheapness of labor and subsistance in Asiatic Turkey, can be built for twenty-five or thirty millions of dollars. Great preparations are on foot in England for a right royal reception and entertainment of the Persian Shah. He is represented os a splendid Oriental, ‘every inch a king,”’ and he is tobe the recipientin London and at Windsor of extraordinary honors even to a crowned head. England, in short, is playing against Russia fora close alliance, offensive and defensive, with the Shah. He, however, may find it to his interest tocement the friend- ship of both Russia and England, and Turkey, too, in consideration of the advantages which he will share from a Russian railroad to Samarcand, in the east, andfrom an Eng- lish railroad down the Valley of the Euphrates on his western flank. The Persia of the present day is but a fragment of the mighty Empire of Cyrus, and contributes but little to Old Persia's strength or splendors, Those powerful monarchies of the ancient Medes and Persians and of the Persians, like the kingdoms of Nineveh, Babylonia and Assyria, which preceded them, drew their wealth and their strength from the basin of the Tigris and the Euphrates. Millions of people occu- pied the valleys of those great rivers, and with their dykes to guard against inundations, their canals for irrigation, and their reservoirs for seasons of drought, they doubtless far sur- passed the ancient Egyptians in their pro- ducts of subsistence, comfort, wealth and national greatness. The records of Holy Writ and the unearthed sculptures of those imperial cities of Assyria attest not only the advanced civilization of its people buat the amazing productiveness of the Euphrates Val- ley in those ancient days. From the letters of a Henaip explorer among the instructive ruins and general desolation of that great valley some years ago our readers have been informed of its present condition. But the soil is still there which subsisted its millions of thrifty people thousands of years ago, and needs only the restoration of its irri- oo canals to bring it into fruitful life ogaip. The firet essential sten to thig ond ig the projected railway from the Mediterranean via the river Euphrates to the Persian Gulf. The building of the road will restore those irri- gating candis, for it will soon attract settlers and create a supporting way traffic, and in the enlargement of this trade it will pass the mountain barriers of Persia and extend its connecting lines to the Oxus, to Bokbara and Samarcand in one direction, and to the Caspian in another. Thus Central Asia, with a railway penetrating it from the Volga and another from the Medi- terranean, will be tapped to the frontiers of Hindostan in the south and of the Chinese Empire in the east ; and thus modern Europe, in rolling back its civilization into Central Asia, will revive that nursery of the human family and awaken it to higher dreams of am- bition and loftier achievements than those of Semiramis or Cyrus, or of Assyrians, Persians, Saracens, Turks or Tartars. We conjecture that in this present European tour the special object of the Shah of Persia is to bring his dominions and his people into closer contact with the civilization and the material agencies of European progress, in- cluding especially the railway and the tele- graph; and we expect that after his return to his capital, Russia, England and Turkey will find in him an active supporter of the great Asiatic railway lines we have indicated. Surely, when the Khedive of Egypt, the Sul- tan of Turkey, the Mikado of Japan, the Em- peror of China and the Shah of Persia are casting about among the Western nations, and under the empire of the Cross, fora broader, higher and more active civilization than the Orientals now possess, undoubtedly old Asia is awakening from her slumbers and the day of her redemption is at hand. Arrival of Mr. O’Kelly in Spain. We are gratified to submit to our readers this morning a despatch from Mr. Secretary Fish, announcing that he is informed, through 8 telegram from our Minister at Madrid, that our commissioner, Mr. James J. O'Kelly, shipped from Cuba, had safely arrived at San- tona, in the province of Santander, Spain, and that this is preliminary to his discharge. He was delivered to the authorities by the com- mander of the steamship Antonio Lopez, and his personal effects, for the present, were taken in charge by the United States Consul. We hope next to hear that his sufferings as a prisoner are ended and that he is again a free man. That the chiefs of the republican govern- ment at Madrid will promptly order the prisoner's release we cannot doubt, in view of Mr. O’Kelly’s inoffensive position in Cuba as @ correspondent of this journal, and in view of the friendly relations and inclinations of our government towards the Republic in Spain. We suppose that his release, as in the case of Dr. Houard and others, will end the matter between the two governments con- cerned, though justice to the individual un- justly deprived of his liberty and held aso criminal in prison would seem to require something more than his liberation from the offending party. But as it is usually understood in such cases that the dis- charge of a prisoner is equivaleg§ to an official proclamation that he has been guilty of no crime, Mr. O’ Kelly will at least so far be vindicated in reference to his adventures in Cuba and as a judgment upon the conduct of the over-zealous Spanish authorities of the island. They will understand from his dis- charge that it is not the desire or the interest of the Republic in Spain that its subordinate officials in Cuba shall act upon the theory that the people and government and press of the United States have entered into a conspiracy with the republicans of Cuba against the Re- public of Spain, but that we rely upon Cubans and upon the Republic and the republican sentiment of Spain for a satisfactory settle- ment of the Cuban question. Secretary Robeson and the Polaris Mystery. Mr. Secretary Robeson has queer ideas of the rights of the American people and feels so little the real responsibility of his position that he sets himself up as a sort of consor of the press. He seems to have a passion for official secrets and abuses the public confidence by withholding information to which the public are entitled. The case of the Polaris is one in point. Everything which it is pos- sible to know about the ill-fated expedition the people havea right to know. They are the judges as to whether the Secretary of the Navy is performing his whole duty in the matter, and are quite as competent to judge ‘as that distinguished official himself. But he has not permitted it. The facts elicited during the semi-official examination of Captain Tyson and his party have been studiously kept secret and the witnesses adjured to keep silent on pain of the Secretary's displeasure. Mr. Robeson’s displeasure is not a matter for serious consideration, but his feeble disregard of the rights of the people becomes important, because it is vicious even in its feebleness, A man whom a distinguished Senator has de- scribed as ‘a great sailor among constitutional lawyers and a great constitutional lawyer among sailors’ sets his judgment against all the citizens of the Republic. In the case of the Polaris he conceals the evidence, and, indeed, of the testimony intends publishing @ partial statement, containing only his own deductions. This he promises to let us have to-morrow, after repeated disappointments. Mr. Robeson ought to know that the people want the facts and care nothing whatever for his deductions. They are quite as capable of making deductions as he. He is simply playing a very foolish part in withholding what the people want to know. He cannot but be aware that his action in regard to the rescue of the rest of the crew of the Polaris is very jealously watched by the country. Should the mission of the Tigress end in failure he will be held to a strict accountability, because he acted entirely on his own motion and with- out letting the country know his purpose. We have repeatedly advised him to purchase the Tigress and send her in search of the ill- fated steamer, but we never supposed he would act.upon our advice without publishing the testimony which impels him to take it. We advised this course on the state of facts as they came to us to be published in the Henatp. The sworn testimony will be found when published—if not garbled—to be sub- stantially the same as the Henatp’s narrative. But the people want it because it is sworn testimony. If the Secretary of the Navy un- derstands the temper of the American people he will not longer withhold it through the asrogance of temporary, The Coming College Baces. While the students of our colleges all over the land, who have been working hard for the year past, are now busy pre- paring for their day before the public, and Commencements are coming thick upon us— 80 fast; indeed, that it is not easy to keep track of them—another set of men from these same institutions—less bookish, to be sure, but none the leas eager and devoted to their favorite work—have been actively addressing them- selves to hard efforts of another sort, one which has required them to keep their bodies in subjection in the hope of obtaining the mastery in a strife which will bring to their alma mater more renown, temporarily, at least, than the subtlest reasoning and wisest sayings of the gowned fellows who are on parade. Already New York, the first to bo on hand, hag sent forward her representatives to the scene of the coming contest. The Colum- bia men, being thus early there, and taking ample time to learn the currents and eddies, the shallows and the deep places of the Con- necticut water below Springfield, are but fol- lowing the example of that other New York crew, whose reputation has reached wherever & newspaper goes, and who, a year ago last Fall, when England's doughty champions of the oar had crossed the Atlantic to carry away any honors America could offer, and were parading about in the British provinces, had quietly gone up to Saratoga Lake, long in advance, and learned every wrinkle about the course to be rowed which careful investi- gation could bring them; and who, when the hour of trial came, though all the strangers outranked them in the betting, easily van- quished them all, to the profound disgust of most Englishmen and equal delight of our countrymen. Had the grandees at Vienna staked off a few English miles on the Danube and called in all Europe and the rest of the world to see who could furnish the best men these same Ward brothers might have given an account of themselves far more palatable than that of any American production which has yet been exhibited in that royal city during the present show. Four weeks from to-morrow not Harvard and Yale only, as of yore, but they and Co- lumbia, Cornell and Amherst, Dartmouth and Williams, Trinity, Middletown and the Am- herst Agriculturals, and Bowdoin, too, all mean to do good work ; and, saving the ex- treme heat of the interval, no better time of year could be hit upon for this exciting strug- gle, for it includes the early weeks of the long vacation, and, excepting a part of the annual examinations, interferes not at all with the studies, If the dangers of long and hard rowing were better understood and those likely to be in- jured by it were peremptorily excluded from racing crews, we hardly know of a branch of college education (for rowing, whatever it may be in name, is fast becoming that) which we would more gladly encourage. For, as long as we Americans will, keep our children at school so many hours a day, and find for them when out of it no better exercise than we do, and as long as the young men of our land will step too early into close, confining business before their bodies are well grown and their backs made fit for the burden, so long it seems tous the bounden duty of the press to use its influence towards a change in all this matter of physical education, and such a one as will produce to us better men. As long, then, as we lack this physical vigor all such meetings as that of a month from now should be encouraged, and, were the place selected for the struggle os convenient to this city as far-famed Putney or the Derby is to London, we little doubt that such a host would be there to see as used to gather on the Olympian plain, ina sunny land, four thou- sand miles away, when, not in one sort of strife alone, but five, the choseh and well- trained sons of Greece struggled for the leafy crown. However, as the course chosen is not thus near, but several hours’ ride away, though very central for the sixty- six who compete, we would here suggest that at the first preliminary meeting of those hay- ing in hand the management of the races, the hour, not for the class races alone, but for the great race of the day, “the University,” be set, not, as usual, late in the afternoon, but at a time of day as early as thréo o'clock, so that the people who go from New York and all over New England that morning to see the sport may get home reasonably early that night. If this point can be gained it will go far toward establishing Springfield as the permanent place for the annual inter-collegiate athletic gatherings; and really, after groping about for more than twenty years from Winni- piseogee to Springfield, Worcester, Ingleside, and back again to Springfield, it is high time some place were made at last fixed and per- manent. Again, great care should be taken to have the crews uniformed, that the rowers should not only look their best, that they may be quickly and certainly distinguished, as far as the eye can distinguish color at all. To do this they need not content themselves, as do Cambridge and Oxford, with two shades of but one color, but the rainbow will help them out; while. as the race is to be not around a half-way stake and home, but straightaway, and as the river is wide the colors should be worn, not simply in a tuft of ribbon, but, as only the head, arms and trunk of the rower can be seen, the vari- ety should be in the turban and in the merino vests, a¥d whichever is selected should be all of one, or, at most, of two strong colors. The importance of care in this matter will be quickly appreciated by the spectator who has travelled a long way, and who would dislike much to lose all interest in the struggle through the confusion arising from a neglect of this one simple matter. Finally, wide as the Connec- ticut is at the place chosen, there is really much reason, where so many crews participate and the excitement is so intense, to fear toul- ing. Hence every known precaution should be taken to ward against this evil, which is so sure to lead to 1 most unsatisfactory result at the time and much ill-natured wrangling after- wards. There will be many Englishmen there that day, and they are uncommonly intelli- gent in all that pertains to a rowing match, and more than one of them doubts if eleven crews can row @ breast race on any river and not get into a hopeless tangle. We must show ‘them differently, and if the suggestions thrown out here prove timely, and are followed, we think they will help much towards making this contest what match which will have ever been known on American waters, And if the negotiations are, a8. we understand, on foot to carry out the hint already thrown out by the Hznatp, and have Cambridge, Oxford and_ the London Rowing Club, one or all, represented, perhaps on the next day, with the winners of this manifold struggle, he who in that sultry time of year breaks away for a day or two at Springfield, will conclude that Young America is looking up in this matter of physi- cal development, and likely for the future to hold her own in any test of her powers, no matter with what rivals. The Civil War in Spain. We print in another column a long and in- teresting letter from the Spanish capital. Though it records no deeds of blood and pic- tures few scenes of violence it does not lack in interest because there are no harrowing de- tails to recite. Our correspondent presents a clear and concise view of the Spanish situation as he found it after spending o month in Navarra and Guipazcoa, thence visiting Puerta del Sol, where the socialists imperson- ate the most baneful extreme of the Carlist in- surrection. He states with emphasis, and what almost every newspaper correspondent: will Tecognize as a part of his own experience, that the reported atrocities on either side are gen- erally fictitious, and that ‘the horrible state of anarchy and civil war into which Spain has fallen” is the product of the phrase-fancier and not the description of a reality. We Congratulate Spain and Europe that the Tberian peninsula is not yet utterly chaotic, and that humanity still dominates all internal strife. Civil war in any land, and prosecuted in its mildest forms, superinduces chronic dis- order and national decay. Yet, when its Teigning incentive is to dispossess one class at the expense of the other, it is a rare exception in history when even temporary success has not been made the occasion of cruel butchery. In Spain the Carlists and the republicans have found a new, and we may add a very praise- worthy, way of waging civil war. It seems to be agreed between the parties at issue, ‘This isa fight between muskets, not between men. Without arms in our hands we are friends ; with them we do war!’’ In other words, it is a simple tournament, a struggle between contending gladiators, wit- nessed by an indifferent population. Both belligerents prepare and equip in the same cities and only come in conflict on the field. We do not see in this species of warfare much waste and destruction, save in that the Spanish treasury is severely burdened to bat- tle with the insurrection, and that European monarchists are severely bled to sustain the cause of Don Carlos, Of large masses of men, of well-organized armies, of bold and skilful leaders or of successful generals on either side we do not hear. It is simply Cuban warfare—negative in its results, tedious and never ending—with the cruelties and reprisals eliminated. While this stupid comedy is amusing the dreary provinces, the political intrigues at Madrid do not encourage us to believe that the Spanish Republic is yet built upon durable foundations, Spain, like the other nations of Europe aspiring for demo- cratic rule, is cursed with theorists. When the brilliant orator Castelar could overturn a ministry by his eloquence and banish a king by a rhetorical sketch of the House of Savoy, it did not occur to those who were made captive by his voice that pleasing diction and magnetic tones do not constitute wise statesmanship. Mirabeau, having assisted to produce the French Revolution by his oratory, could not stem the fury of its bloody tide; neither could Kossuth, as President of Hun- gary, secure the independence of his native land. It is only when trained and conserva- tive statesmen like M. Thiers embrace repub- licanism and make it the faith of society, the creed of their civil and religious conduct, that democracy inspires respect at home and confi- dence abrosd. Such a man has not ap- peared on the surface of Spaniah poli- tics. The name of Marshal Serrano being mentioned, the Countess of Montijo, mother of the ex-Empress of the French, told the Heratp correspondent, “He is a man of eminent capacities and great energies, though I do not believe him to be fit for an actual leader. He must work under some one, or at least in the name of some one; then he is worth any price."’ The Countess was not at all reserved in her conversation with our cor- respondent, and her views will be found valuable and suggestive as those of one who has the greatest influence with the reactionary party. We commend the entire letter to our readers, as giving a candid and thoughtful view of a country too republican to become a monarchy and too monarchical to become a republic. Our Street Cleaning Forces—Cutting Om at the Wrong End. We think our new Police Commissioners make a mistake in inaugurating their reform movement by economizing in the Street Clean- ing Department at this juncture. Weare now just entering upon the sickly season, and no efforts should be spared in keeping the streets, gutters, sewers, drains and cesspools as clean and healthful as they possibly can be, The street cleaning force, we learn, has recently been cut down to a considerable extent in the number of the gang foremen, the gangmen and carts, and its usefulness as one of the great sanitary elements in the city been pro- portionably impaired. This should not be, and the people will hold the Commissioners accountable in case any sudden epidemic should appear among us—s calamity not at all improbable when we find that that dreaded scourge, the cholera, has already commenced its ravages in some parts of the country. It is all well enough to lop off extravagant and use- less expenditures in any department of the city government, but we consider it beginning ot the wrong end to start with the Street Cleaning Department. The way our muni- hension. Take the paving, for instance. There are several up town streets just now encumbered with piles of stones waiting to be laid by the paviors. What is the sense of in- conveniencing the public for weeks and months in this way? If the contractors are not ready to go ahead with the work, they should remove these obstructions forthwith. Mr. Van Nort should see to it. BANKBUPTOY. St. Louis, Mo., June 17, 1873, The commission house of Taylor Bros, & Co, sus- cipal authorities do business is past compre? PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE.
