Mu'azzam
(Salat-i-
Mukarram)
from 1905.
in May 1905 received the higher title of Salar-i-Mukarram^—perhaps
the most remarkable member of a somewhat remarkable family of
Persian officials. Of Qazvini origin, but educated at Tehran, the Salar-i-
Mukarram was a nephew of the Nizam-us-Saltaneh and the Sa^ad-ul-
Mulk, who in their time had held many important posts in Southern
Persia, the former having been twice Governor-General of ^Arabistan
and once of Pars ; and the Salar himself was no novice in the art of admi-
nistration as practised in Persia, for he had been Governor of the Gulf
Ports from 1901 to 1903, in which last year he was deputed to
receive Lord Curzon, Viceroy and Governor-General of India at LingeL
His conduct of affairs in ^Arabistan will be described later : his
personal character was summed up by Lieutenant Lorimer, His Britan
nic Majesty^s Vice-Consul for 'Arabistan in the words—
" The Salar is a man of force and ability, but avaricious more than
cruel, and entirely selfish. He seems incapable of any generous sentiment,
and one seeks in vain in his acts for any trace of compassion or even
mercy.""
His principal lieutenant in ^Arabistan was the MVizz-ul-Mamalik, an
individual who, like the Salar himself, had been known as an official at
Bushehr. The Salar amassed a handsome private fortune during his
Governor-Generalship of 'Arabistan.
1896.
Internal affairs of Northern 'Arabistan^ 1896—1905.
The history of Northern ^Arabistan during the period under consider
ation is a record of well-nigh continuous and intolerable disorder.
In 1896 the Arab tribes about Dizful and Shushtar made common
cause, under their Shaikhs, against the Persian Government and the Lurs
ravaged the country in the neighbourhood of Dizful. In June the
Il-Khani of the Bakhtiyari tribe, whose help had been invoked for
the suppression of these disorders, was defeated by the rebels; and
there was a panic in Shushtar,where the people, seeing the Persian
authorities helpless proposed—as did also the surrounding rural popula
tion—to pay the yearns revenue to the Arabs instead of to the Govern
ment. I 1 action fights and collisions between the populace and the
authorities occurred even in the towns of Dizful and Shushtar; and at
Ahwaz an affray took place between the inhabitants and the Persian
military garrison, which last at this time was rather the cause of dis
turbances than a prop of order and authority.
