After light refreshments and informal conversation, in which the Shaikh
further expressed his great gratification at the honour done to him, the Resi
dent returned to H. M. S. " Redbreast the Shaikh's band playing " God
Save the King " as he left the shore.
This was the first occasion on which the revised salutes allotted to the
Shaikh and to his son were fired. j
News of the investiture of the Shaikh with a British decoration appears
to havp been telegraphed to the " Times " from a correspondent at Basrah, on
October 15th, and attracted no unfavourable not^ce^ but at Baghdad and Bas
rah a considerable display of ill-informed and malevolent criticism resulted,
and the Ilabl-ul-Matin endeavoured to connect the action of His Majesty's
Government in the matter with the note addressed to the Persian Government
by His Majesty's Government in connection with the safety of the Bushire-
Ispahan road.
The Shaikh's relations with the Persian Government, remained correct,
(and caused no anxiety throughout the
Relations of the Shaikh with the Persian year, although the apprehension that the
Govemmen Bakh.tiari might succeed in themselves
dominating that Government, referred to below, was a source of much trouble,
and very nearly resulted in hostilities breaking out between the Shaikh and
the Bakhtiari. The action of the Persian Government in refusing to recog
nize his agreement with the Oil Company, and in ordering him to repudiate
it, proved entirely abortive as might; be. expected. : >

Relations of the Shaikh with the Turks. Zain by the Turkish gunboat " Marma-
ris," engaged the attention of Sis Majes
ty's Government during the summer. The incident arose out of th^ demand
by the Wali of Basrah for the surrender hy the Shaikh of Muhammad-al-
Kanan, his brother-in-law, a tribal chief owning allegiance to him, and
residing at Zajn in Turkish territory, but claiming to be a Persian subject.
The Wali accused Muhammad-alrKanan of various offences, the principal
being an alleged threat to murder Muhammad Mn Mshri, a Turkish land
owner who r had a dispute with his cultivators, who had Muhammad-al-Kanan s
support. On the Shaikh refusing to. surrender Muhammad-al-Kanan, the
Wali issued orders for the bombardment and burning of his village and hpuse,
which were in occupation, of tribesmen owning al|egia^ to the Shaikh, it
uncertain how far the Wali was acting under orders from the Turkish
Government in doing so.
On the matter being reported to Government, His Majesty s Consuls at
IBasrah and Mohammerah were instructed touring about-a settlement between
the two parties, and through the mediation of Haji Rais, the local question
was temporarily settled by an exchange of notes between the S ai a
Wali. J. ■ ■■ 4
After an examination of the papers in
tailed notice here, His Majesty's Government held the action of the Turk sh
Government to have been arbitrary and violent, and commended the attitude
of moderation and restraint adopted by the Shaikh on our advice.
The Turkish view of the matter may be inferred from the
Council of State at Constantinople decreed, m Angus , _ Mi rz a

for him to take tbe initiative in raising the question, and p g
made towards a solution of this during the year.
