Abstract	Erroneously blames Babis (i.e. Baha'is) for the assassination of Nasiri'd-Din Shah. "Un fanatique religieux de la secte des babis vient de tuer d'un coup de feu le shah de Perse. Les babis sont de réformateurs, à peu près comme le furent les disciples de Luther et de Calvin, mais comme ceux-ci, ils n'ont point tardé à faire de la politique. Plusieurs attentats dirigés par eux contre le souverain avortèrent et furent suivis de sanglantes répressions; cette fois ils ont réussi, mais il est douteux que leur crime leur profite, la transmission des pouvoirs s'es effectuée sans la moindre difficulté et il est permis de supposer que le nouveau monarque vengera durement la more de son père..." "The New Shah of Persia: A religious fanatic of the sect of the babis has just killed the Shah of Persia by gunshot. The babis are reformers, akin to the disciples of Luther and Calvin, but like those, such plots are not likely to further their designs. Several attacks directed by them against the sovereign fell through and were followed by bloody repressions; this time they succeeded, but it is doubtful that their crime will profit them, the transfer of power being carried out without the least difficulty and it is allowed to suppose that the new monarch will avenge hard for his father all the more...."
