M. Kadloubousky, Acting Russian Consul-General, arrived in Shiraz in
June, being fired at en route, as already noted M Passek, Consul-General,
arrived on November 15th, and left on the 23rd. After the robbery of their
caravan they returned to Shiraz and remained until the close of the year.
From the personal point of view, the British and Russian Consulates
were extremely friendly throughout, though their official relations were
clouded for a time by the extraordinary episode of the appointment of Nasr-
ed-Dowleh as Russian Consular Agent in June.
It is impossible to conjecture with the knowledge available here what the
Russian object can have been in this amazing appointment, which was made
without the slightest preliminary warning to the British Consulate. It
seems equally incredible on the one hand that the Russian authorities shou d
not have realized the enormous extension of their direct responsibilities m
Fars entailed thereby (Nasr-ed-Dowleh and his brother owning enormous
estates in all parts of the province, some part of which is perpetually benjg
ravaged by so^e enemy of their family), and on- the other that they should
have seriously contemplated assuming the vast responsibilities in the neutral
zone which this appointment would at any rate in general popular expecta
tion have thrust upon them. The incident must remain a mystery and a
decidedly unpleasant one. The appointment was the subject of emphatic
protest by the British Consulate and Legation, it was apparently never re
cognised by the Persian Government, and terminated in a sat !f ® ct f { ^7
bv Nasr-ed-Dowleh's resignation after Saham-ed-Dowleh s arnval a settte-
ment which is largely attributable to the tact and influence of Muvaqqar-ed-
Dowleh. Otherwise the two Consulates co-operated in the most cordial man
ner throughout the troublous period of the sum m er ' and * hel J t u e
