ADMINISTKATION EEPORT ON THE PERSIAN GULP POLITICAL
matters improved a good deal as far as actusi:! robberies were concerned but
both soldiers and tofangcbis combined in the endeavour to exact blackmail
from muleteers and travellers, especially between Kazeroon and Borasjoon.
They had the sense however not to molest His Majesty s Consul who travelled
down the road to see things for himself. Early in 1906 the position again
lapsed into its former lawless statej and the Shiraz Authorities now pleaded
the disturbed state of affairs in Fars, brought about by the tyrannical Govern
ment of the Shoa-es-Sultaneh, as their excuse for absolute inaction. At the end
of the year, however,"the state of the road was again more satisfactory for the
time being.
A good deal has been done in this direction during the year thanks to the
strenuous efforts of His Majesty's Charge
Settlement of outstanding British claims. d'AffaireS, Tehran.
At the desire of the Minister, a full list of the outstanding claims of the
last ten years was submitted by the Kesident in August 1905 comprising 93
items of the aggregate value of Us. 2,78,480; 56 of these were forthwith
pressed upon the Central Government and in March 1906 the Governor and
Karguzar received peremptory instructions to exert themselves in the direc-
tion^of their settlement. In pursuance of these orders they agreed to go
through all the files of the cases with the Resident with a view to separating
those claims which could not be disputed and should be paid forthwith from
others which they saw reasonable grounds for questioning. Two long meetings
were held before the close of the year during which 25 cases were gone into.
Apart from these commercial claims several important matters which had been
for years pressed without success upon the Shah's Government were satisfac
torily settled thanks to the strenuous efforts of His Majesty's Legation, such as
the claim for exemption from export duty on fresh provisions for His Majesty's
ships in Harbour; but the Legation failed to move the Persian Government
in regard to other pressing ones such as the nourder of Abu Thabi subjects
by the inhabitants of Taona on the Dashtistan Coast and these are now under
separate reference to His Majesty's Government.

has received much
cordial co-operation and assistance from His Majesty's Consul, Mr. George
Grahame.
The following travellers, whose move-

Bushire during the year :—
Mr. Arthur Crawford, a young Canadian Journalist, who, starting from
New York without funds, had undertaken to complete the circuit of the world
on his feet or on roller skates within a space of two years, for a stake of £6,000
and an appointment on the staff of a New York paper, arrived at Bushire from
Bassora on 12th March 1906 with the intention of travelling via Shiraz and
Kerman to India. The unde sir ability of an Englishman begging his way
across Persia was suggested to His Majesty's Charge d'Affaires, Tehran, who
held that he could not be legally stopped but should be warned of the risk he
was running. Mr. Crawford was eventually dissuaded from entering the
country and left by mail for Maskat and India.
In March 1905 a Frenchman named Gaston Perronne with two servants
arrived at Lingah by mail and proceeded thence to Debai where he obtained a
lodging from the British India Steam Navigation Company's Persian Agent.
He gave out that he had been sent out by a French Syndicate to examine the
conditions of trade on the Oman Coast and in the

. The Sheikh
and the people of Debai, however, objected to his presence and he was obligpd
to leave after two or three days for Bahrein where he stajed some weeks and
then returned to Europe.
Another party of French travellers, a Madame Nnttan with her daughter
and nephew spent some months in Bahrein during the pearling season. The
lady is the widow of the head of an apparently well-known firm of jewel or
pearl merchants in the Rue Lafitte, Paris, and came out to study the pearl
trade on the spot. She did no business until just at the end of the season as
she could not induce the
