(Furnislied by Mr. George Grahame, His Britannic Majesty's Consul, Shiraz.)
The after-effects of the agitation which broke out in Shiraz in the autumn of
1905 in consequence of the opposition and rapacity of Prince Shuaa'-ul-Sultaneh,
Governor-General of Fars, and his followers, continued to be felt during the year
1906-1907 both in Shiraz and the province of Fars. Merging into the general
wave of the Persian Constitutional movement — of which indeed it would appear
to have been a premonitory signal—this agitation created a kind of ground-
swell which reacted unfavourably on the general conditions of the province.
Rumours which obtained as far back as May 1906 of the serious illness and at
times of the death of the Shah ; the acceptance by Mozuffer-ud-din Shah in October
1906 of a constitutional form of government; the popular movements in Tehran,^
Tabriz, and other towns of Persia, in connection with the acceptance and realisation
by Mozuffer-ud-din Shah and subsequently by his successor, of that form of govern
ment ; the election of provincial deputies,—all these were elements which combined
to increase the feeling of unrest prevalent in Fars in the spring of 1906 and tamaJ^e
the year one of storm and stress.
It is worthy of note that the demise (long discounted in advance) of Mozuffer-
ud-din Shah on 8th January 1907 passed unmourned and all but unmarked in

Moayyid-ul-Dowleh appointed Governor-General of Fars February 1907,
arrived Shiraz 15th April.
Kowam-ul-Mulk, Vazier of Fars, appointed February 1907, arrived Shiraz 1st
March 1907.
Nebil-ul-Sultaneh, who took up the appointment of Karguzar of Fars in Jan
uary 1907, continued to hold that post throughout the year under review. His
ignorance, incapacity and, on one occasion, marked discourtesy have given rise
to frequent complaints on the part of His Majesty 's Consulate.
provincial politics.
During the year 1906-1907 political considerations, chiefly of a purely local
nature, swamped all others and called for constant vigilance.
The Vazier-i-Makhsous who had reached Shiraz about mid-February 1906
continued to hold office as High Commissioner and Governor-General in posse
until mid -JuDe. The nondescript nature of his powers, jointly with a total lack
