July 15*— The remarkable series of revelations regarding the methods of th« Rus sian police in keeping track of Russian stu dents and refuses in France, which followed BoaHaefTs exposure of General Hart Ing" c com plicity In the plot against Alexander- 111. has led Premier <~emencea>j to announce In the Chamber of Deputies that the government ha? decided to forbid the maintenance hereafter of foreign police in French territory.

Th-> Socialist papers insisted that the time had come to call a halt. Although no Russian official had rallied to the de fence of General Harting. M.

Teheran. July 15.— Despite the efforts of General Llakbon*. the Military Governor of Teheran, to open negotiations with the Nationalist leaders and the agreement of both sides to cease hostilities, street fighting was in progress throughout the day between the Persian Cossacks and the Na tionalists around Artillery Square, sad between the Royalist Bakhtlaris and the newly arrived Na tionalists and revolutionary Bakhtiaris. The Insurgents, however, continue hi the ascen dancy, and as reinforcements are continually reaching them, the outcome in their favor appears to be a foregone conclusion. The Shah remains obdurate, and will probably insist upon holding out until the Nationalist guns ar» trained on the Sultanahabad palac*^ Th» control of the Royalist troops has really ra«=*d from the hands of th» Shah into those of General LJakhoff. who again to-day tried to stop hostilities. Through the Russian Legation Gen eral Uakhofll approached th» Nationalist leaders and agreed that the Cossacks should not fire »x cept upon th» i:ndisriplln»d soldiers of the Shah, who were looting houses hi the vicinity of Cen tral Bquare Ha pointed out that a definitive reply to th« Nationalists' terms yesterday did not de nend upon himself. No reply was received to this communication General Uakhoff apked let an ex planation as to why th» Cossack quarters w»re '..•ing struck by bullets and pieces of shells. Th« Nationalist leaders answered this by plac ing the blam» for the continuation of th« flghtins on the Cossacks. They agreed to give orders that if th» Cossacks loos no hostile steps th« Nation alists should remain Inactive until Friday morning. The fighting to-day centred around the British legation. A number of loyal nashtlsrta gaining an ■ran" to the city, took up a position on the tops of houses In the vicinity of the legation and n»ar the Nationalist camp, which they bombarded with heaw rifle fire. The Nationalists responded, and for several hours the British telegraph and cthT foreign houses, in which wAr« a number of women, were under flre. During a lull the women . r( . removed to the British Legation. The battle list night between the Cossacks be- F |Ag»d In Artillery Square and the Nationalists who nttempted to dislodge them was exceedingly ft>rce. When th» Cossacks observed the Nationalist forces nrpro-ichlng they opened a terrlflc cannonade, th« Nationalists replying with th"lr one gun and their riflf*. Non-combatants were compelled to »e»lt shelter In cellar*, as shells were bursting every where. The KMCka succeeded in holdirg thf ir position. nn-J on the withdrawal of the attacking party opened fire with then artillery on the Parliament Building. Under cover of this they made an at tack on the Nationalist headquarters, hit were reps!»*i by a smalt force Of Bakhtiaris. who took iip a position with a Maxim gun m front of Ike British Legation. There Is BO way of estimating the casualties, but so far us Is known no foreigners are among the killed or wounded. There were some narrow escapes, however, one sh*!l bursting in the library of the Imperial Bank and another ln the gardens cf the British Legation. The telegraph operators, who are sticking to tli*lr instruments, have the windows of their house barricaded Fighting around the Cossacks' barrack* ceased this afternoon, an.i negotiations tot their surrender are bow being carried on with General LlakhofT. The Shah's troops are discontented on account of insufficient food and pay. St. Petersburg. July 15.— The "Novoe Vremya" M received a sensational dispatch from Teheran Ptatlng that the foreign legations were, under flre by the Nationalists. The dispatch says that the Russian Legation was partly demolished and that the entire staffs el the various legations were re moved to safety outside the city. London. July 15.— Advices received at the Foreign , Offl.-o to-day from Teheran confirm th« press re ports •hat the. resistance of the royalists is prac tically at an end and the surrender of the Persian Cossacks imminent. With the exception of a single case of looting a British house and unimportant damage to a few houses by rifle fire, foreigners In Teheran have not suffered either In person or ln property. Neither the British nor the Russian dip lomafi.' representative considers that any special measures of protection now are necessary. The Russian troops have not been ordered to advance, but will remain in readiness at Kasvin. some eighty I miles away. The government has received disquieting news, however, from Shiraz. capital of the Persian prov ince of Fars. and arrangements have been made to hold a small British force in readiness at Bu shire, on the Persian GuIT, and to Increase the con sular guard at Bhtraa in case the lives of foreign ers are Jeopardize,]. The Foreign Office is hopeful that the rival fac tions In Persia will find a way to work out a settle ment of the internal affairs of the country without forelgt. intervention. A dispatch to "The Times" from Teheran says that all day long a party of Cossacks at the Rus sian Bank was heavily engaged with the National ists, of whom four were killed and several injured. General Uakhoffs proposals for a surrender, t! c dispatch says, are, inexplicable. There are three hundred Cossacks with artillery, under Russian of ficers, in the Una taken up by the Royalist troops to the north of the town, and the Shah can hardly agree with the disappearance of this important section of his defence, nor. having regard to the : fact that several of the city gates are still In the j possession of th» Royalists. Is he likely to approve | the surrender of the main body of the brigade. : "The Nationalist leaders give assurances that j they had no designs on thn throne, but regarded the future of the Shah as dependent upon the will of the nation, which the forces under their com- ] mand would make no endeavor to influence. "On leaving the parliament building, the cor respondent found himself In a crowd rushing up the ' street, where heavy firing was proceeding. Bakh- ■ tlaris on the roofs of the houses were firing indis- j criminately into the street while the Nationalist gun was belching forth flames, and all around were j men who kept up a vigorous fire. The Shah's men were strongly established within 200 yards of the | parliament. They were forced to abandon one I gun. but otherwise maintained their positions. •This suggests that the. royal cause is in no such j desperate case as has been supposed. The Royal- j ists are making continuous attacks on the ram- ' parts, while guns from the north are shelling thn parliament building. The other points are occu pied by the Nationalists. ; "In spite of the extraordinary expenditure of : ammunition there ha* not been any really serious fighting, although casualties are quite frequent. Probably the killed and wounded on both sides will not exceed one hundred The behavior of the Nationalists is irreproachable. They have main tained order and shown mercy to their prisoners, and they have also shown a laudable desire to carry out their plans In a civilized manner." CHARTERS LINER FOR NAVAL HOLIDAY, j The White, Star liner Adriatic, which arrived here | yesterday from Southampton, has been chartered j by the British government for one day to carry the ' members of the House of Parliament to the naval \ manoeuvres at Cowes, each member being per- ' mitted to bring one guest.
