RESIDENCY
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India.
FOR THE YEAR 19C5-1&06.
53
M. Adamoff in the beginning of June, the CoDsulate being left in charge of
M. Miller's Secretary, M. Belayew, during the interim.
Both the Moharram and Nawroz passed off uneventfully. As also did the
Sheikhi local Kozeh Kbani.
The Perman Eerma arrived in Kerman on the 27th April and was given
an unusually cordial reception. He appears to be a very suitable Governor
for Kerman, being strong and acting in- a fair manner generally speaking
towards the people. He has taken even stronger measures as regards plague
precautions than were advocated by Dr. Olemenger, but his methods have so
far aroused no opposition.
The Kerman-Yezd post was made over to one Mirza Mohammed Khan,
who has placed some tarantasses and horses along the road for this purpose and.
for the transit of travellers.
The Eerman Ferma has made his son Nasrat-ud-Dowlah, Deputy Governor,
pending the arrival of the intended incumbent, one Salar-i-Mansur.
The Governor of Persian Baluchistan was dismissed in May and replaced
by one Asad-ud-Dowlah. Certain changes amongst the officials in charge of
sub-disfcricts have also been made, but have no special significance.
MISCELLANEOUS,
The crops promise extremely well.
The administration of justice appears to be severe, but the general state of
the district on the arrival of the new Governor was disorganised, and a firm
rule much required.
The Consular Agent of Bam, Khan Bahadur Asghar Ali, died at Bam on
the 11th October 1905. European medical aid being unable to reach him in
time. He was attended by a Persian Hakim from whose report it would appear
that the cause of death was pleurisy.
M. Cattersole, Director of Customs, was transferred to Seistan, Mr. Yantze,
an Armenian, being appointed in his place in October 1905.
A sample room of English and Indian manufactures in cloth, etc., was
started in the Bazar, but has met with no success until now, the subsidies and
remissions of duty granted by the Russian Government in aid of their trade
in chintze and other cheap commodities rendering competition in this
direction futile.
The Sarkar Agha died in April 1906 at Langar near Mahun, and no priest
of sufficient ability or influence is available amongst the Sheikhis to fill his
place. The sect is comparatively of recent introduction into Kerman having
as its founder the son of Haji Ibrahim Khan, Zahil-ud-Dowlah, by name
Haji Kariin Khan (father of the late Sarkar Agha), who brought the creed
from Kerbela.
A Russian merchant arrived at Kerman in June 1905, from Ispahan with
numerous patterns of chintzes. He was taken in hand by M. Miller but was
not received with much enthusiasm by the Hindus. He, however, received an
order for Ts. 20,000 worth of chintz which has since been executed and a
fresh order received. His coming has in fact been attended with more actual
success than the much advertised mission of Prince Amatuni.
The following robberies took place during the year in the district :—
(1) That of the merchant mentioned above in this report. The man
stated that he had been robbed of some jewelry he was bringing
for sale, three mules, property in all to the amount of Rs. 3,676.
(2) An Afghan travelling from Meshed to Bunder Abbas was murdered
and his goods, valued at Ts. 1,949, looted.
(3) Some Pathans, British subjects, were robbed of their goods, valued
at Ts. 1,020.
(4) Two robberies occurred in Eebruary 1906, at caravanserais in the
city, some silks and carpets being stolen, and a third similarly in
March when some Ts. 250 were stolen.
