6 REVIEW BY THE
POLITICAL RESIDENT
A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political 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.
at Bushire, representations which have had the hearty co-operatioiT^f
the local Customs authorities, the levies have one by one been removed 0
The great " Rahdari " grievance however still continues unremedied on the
trade routes.
The one or two political difficulties connected with the Henjam -Bunder
Abbas Cable, which were mentioned last year as outstanding between ourselves
and the Persian Government, remained much where we left them.
It is true that in the matter of the location of the Cable-House local difficulties
continued for some months owing to the aggressive tactics of Monsieur Stas
Director of Customs, who appeared to have fallen completely under the influ'
ence of the Russian Consul, but in December Monsieur Stas was transferred'
and he having replaced by a more friendly official the matter has since rested
in peace so far as the local officials are Concerned.
Meanwhile the Tehran authorities have been so much engrossed with
affairs nearer home, and His Majesty's Government with the Anglo-Russian
negociations, that such inconvenient local problems as these connected with the
Henjam Telegraph Station and the Bunder Abbas Cable-House have for the
time been laid aside.
No inconvenience accrues to British interests from this delay in settlement
as in the meanwhile we have all the use from the Cable that we need for our own
purposes, and the Henjam difficulties are for the present quiescent.
The progress of the Anglo-Russian negotiations and the desire of both Grov-
ernm'ents that they should not be made more difficult by the incidence of fric-
tion between any of their local representatives in Persia has apparently had
little influence on the attitude of the Russian representative at Bunder Abbas
who seems unable to throw off the strong anti-English propensities which
he displayed in former years at Bushire and in which he has indulged unceasingly
since his return to the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
. His unfriendly tactics have been specially
manifested in connection with Quarantine, and with the Cable-House Question
above mentioned, and also by the employment of several shady characters on
errands of espionage, both upon his British Colleague personally and in other
directions further afield.
It is to be hoped however that the imminent conclusion of the agreement
will have the effect of placing a check on Monsieur Owseenko's amenities or of
bringing about hib transfer to some other sphere of usefulness.
VI.—PERSIAN MEKRAN CO AST. ( - /j
Owing to the difficulties under which the central and provincial Governments
were labouring in connection with the Shah's.d-emise and the spread of the national
movement, it was not possible to arrange this yearlor the usual Border meeting for
the settlement of cases with Persian subjects arising in the jurisdiction of the
Political Officer, Mekran Coast, and^ the report of this section for the year calls
for little comment except as regards the Arms Traffic which unfortunately flour
ished exceedingly, in spite of the efforts of His Majesty's ships in patrolling the
Coast and in endeavouring to cut off consignments on their way from Maskat.
THs-year-ugain they received the utmost co-operation from the Assis
tant Superintendent of the Jask Division of the Telegraph Department, but it
was found impossible to circulate news in time, and no luck attended their efforts;
meanwhile the smugglers pursued their vocation with undaunted boldness.
A clever capture of a large caravan by Baluchistan Levies near Robat
just after the close ol the year was a very satisfactory piece of news)rbut beyond
making the Afgans careful to avoid passing through an acre of British territory
it is unlikely to have any permanent effect in discouraging- the trade. This ques
tion is fast increasing in moment and urgency, but little improvement is appa-
rently to be looked for pending the meeting of the contemplated International
Conference during the coming year.
VII.—MASKAT.
TV treacherous murder of Shaikh Suleiman bin Suweilim, whose useful
services were sympathetically referred to in last year's review, is a serious blow
to the Sultan s interests. His assassinatecaused much perturbation at the
