was discredited and the Samsam and
the Shahab reinstated. This took place some time in May and June, and the
three big chiefs returned to their country via Ispahan in the beginning of August.
The net result of their bickering and jealousies had been a large pecuniary
loss to the Khans. They estimate this, including property destroyed in their
quarrels, at about 400,000 Tumans, and it is not improbable that half of this sum
may have been thrown away.
It is scarcely necessary to say that a deep-rooted bitterness exists between
the rival parties.

's sons- But the
Samsam is abhorrent to the Shahab 5 s brothers, the Shujaus Sultan, Sarum um
Mulk and Muin Humayun, the first of whom having been long in the present Shah's
service, has established an interest at court for his own family which is likely to
stand it in good stead.
In the early part of 1907 these brothers were tending to combine with Yusuf
Khan against the Samsam and indirectly against the Shahab who was loyal to his
colleague.
In March however during the discussion of outstanding questions with the
Agent of the Shakh at Muhammerah a diversion of opinion arose between the latter
which resulted in very strained relations and threw the Shahab again into the arms
of his brothers.
At the moment therefore the chief feature of the internal affairs of the Khans
is the isolation of the Samsam which may end in his exclusion.
27. It is possible that deeper intrigues are in progress, and this is suggested by
the report received in March that the Zargham us Sultana had been summoned to
Tehran. This man is the son and the representative of Riza Kuli Khan, known
as the "Ilbegi," the uncle of the present generation of Khans, who was in the
eighties' a man of some importance.
This family which has its headquarters at Paradumba in the Chahar Mahal
used to give considerable trouble to the ruling chiefs, Riza Kuli Khan died in
1905.
To strengthen or improve the relations between the families, the Muin Humayun
last October married the sister of the Zargham us Sultana, a widow.
The recent marriage of the Shaliab with a woman of the Chaharlang may per
haps be similarly classed as a political alliance.
