The Teheran correspondent of the Times announced on Wednesday that

the Persian Minister of Foreign Affairs had resigned. His resignation is generally connected with the fact that the three months of grace allowed by the British Government for guaranteeing the efficient supervision of the trade routes of Southern Persia will expire shortly. No doubt whoever was Foreign Minister when a police force was organised by Great Britain, owing to the default of the Persian Government, would be in an unpopular position. No robbery has been reported on the roads since December 5th. If this immunity should continue, the correspondent thinks the period of grace allowed by Great Britain might be extended.
