'■ ' • ' . APPEAL TO FANATICS.' By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. London, January 19. The Teheran correspondent of "The Times" points out, as an indication of tho proceedings at Potsdam (wliero the Tsar and Kaiser met recently) being watched, that it was significant that during tho Muharram (a religious festival held during tho first mbnth of tho Mohammedan year), when Persian Shiah fanaticism was formerly always most pronounced, the Nedjeft and Nujtehids issued, manifestos exhorting tlio Sunnis and Shiahs to sink all differences, and' combine, as the Mullahs of tho two sects in Bagdad had, done, to protect Turkey and Persia from the pretensions of foreign Powers.
