The Ihtisham-us-Saltaneh was succeeded about 1860 by the Ziya-ul-
Mulk ; who remained in office till 1862. The successors of the Ziya-ul-
Mulk were His Royal Highness Farhad Mirza (1862-69) and His
Royal Highness Hamzah Mirza (1869-80) known as the Hashmat-ud-
Dauleh; two uncles of the Shah^ of whom the latter was already known
in connection with Khurasan affairs^ while the former was distined to
become at a later date Governor-Greneral of Ears. The nominal seat of
fche Hashmet-ud-Dauleh was Khurramabad^ Luristan as well as 'Arabis-
tan being under his control ; but. in the later days of his administration^
lie was generally engaged in collecting the revenue of the low countries
with the aid of a military force and in such circumstances made Shushtar
his headquarters. The total revenue of ^Arabistan in 1878-79 was
137,000^ Tumans, of which about a quarter was appropriated by the
Prince Governor
A Prince of the Royal line who also acted as Governor of a large Iranian province during the Qājār period (1794-1925).
as Pishkash for himself, the remainder, called Divan,
y, being credited to the Imperial Treasury.
In March 1880 the Zill-us-Sultan, the eldest surviving but not the
1 favourite son of the Shah, was entrusted with the administration of
)i Arabistan in addition to that of Isfahan and other territories j but Isfahan
was his place of abode, and he did not, apparently, visit ^Arabistan.
Instead he appointed local Governors to represent him, at first Ja^far
Quli Khan, then Amirzadeh 'Abdullah Mirza, and finally, not later than
in 1882, His Royal Highness Khanlar Mirza, Ihtisham-us-Sultaneh
who had governed the province 30 years on his own account. The
Ihtisham-us-Sultaneh who generally lived atDizful not Shushtar, visited
Muhammareh in May 1883 with a regiment of Persian infantry. In
1884 or 1885 the Zill-us-Sultan cancelled the appointment of the
Ihtisham-us-Saltaneh, and 'Arabistan and Luristan were combined under
the Muzaffar-ul-Mulk, His Royal Highnesses Governor of Burujird and
Khurramabad who in 1885 made a tour to Fallahiyeh and Muhammareh
With two Persian regiments, causing many Arab Shaikhs to prepare to
seek safety in Turkey.
In 1887 or 1888 a new Governor was appointed to 'Arabistan in the
person of the * Nizam-us-Saltaneh, probably by the Persian Central
overnment, for it was at this epoch that the glory of the Zill-us-Sultan
suffered eclipse. He had ruled for some years over nearly a half of Persia,
wc uding all the southern and south-western provinces, which were now
^ake n away leaving him only Isfahan. The Ni 2 am-us-SaItan eh,t who
a: arl,e l peri0d , tlle Nizam - us - Salt aneh was known as the Sa'ad-ul-Mulk,
