There seems to have been, from the time of Khaz^al Khan^s accession
to the Shaikhdom of Muhammareh, considerable distrust between hira
and the central Persian Government. The Shalr's ministers did not
regard with favour the exceptional position in Persia which the Shaikh
had inherited, enjoyed, and sought to improve; and he, on his part
lived, in fear of encroachments by them on his autonomy and semi-
independence.
Soon after assuming charge of Muhammareh, Shaikh Khaz^al sent
his Secretary Haji Muhammad ^Ali, Rais-ut-Tujjar, to Tehran to
negotiate with the Persian Grovernment for his confirmation in the
position to which he had succeeded by inheritance acd popular choice.
The Haji arrived at the capital in December 1897 and was xvell received
by the Sadr-i-A^zam, who did not long delay to issue the documents of
recognition.

-i-Akram occasioned him much anxiety, the
question of his confirmation being then as yet unsettled or only just

The Persian Government had long been desirous of taking the
management of the Customs of 'Arabistan out of the hands of the
Shaikh of Muhammareh. So early as 188^ an unsuccessful attempt
had been made by the Governor of Bushehr to induce Miz'al Khan to
resign control of them to the Persian authorities; and in 1897
endeavours were made to establish a Government Custom House at
Muhammareh, but were foiled by the opposition of Shaikh Khaz'al.
