ounced his decision in regard to the Perso-Afghan boundary, which
had already been submitted to the Shah and approved by him; in March
1904 the award was accepted by the Amir of Afghanistan; and by the
end of 1904 the new frontier had been demarcated on the ground. The
British Commissioner's finding in regard to water rights was announced
in April 1905; but at the end of that year it was still under considera
tion by the Persian and Afghan Governments.
Meanwhile, in August 1903, a Persian Passport Officer had been
deputed to Sistan; and, under Russian instigation, his powers were exert
ed to annoy British and Afghan subjects to the utmost possible extent.
In the summer of 1903 Mr. Miller, by disseminating false reports,
succeeded in provoking an anti-British agitation at Nasratabad, and in
driving the British Indian traders there to take refuge in the British
Consulate. But in this he had overstepped the bounds of prudence;
Mr. Dobbs, his British colleague, was able to obtain the punishment of
the rioters by the local Persian authority j and Mr. Miller was presently
transferred to some other scene of activity. His brother. Dr. Miller, who
had at one time figured as an unofficial adviser of the Yamin-i-Nizam,
the Persian Frontier Commissioner, supplied his place for a few months
after his departure, and was then himself withdrawn. Steps were taken
by the British Government to secure the position of the Hashmat-ul-
Mulk, Governor of Sistan by hereditary right and in virtue of recognition
by the Persian Government, whose attitude had been generally not
unfavourable to British interests, and whom Mr. Miller had for this
reason denounced as a traitor to Persia; and, though in 1904 the
Hashmat-ul-Mulk was summoned to Tehran, and compelled to obey the
summons, there appeared in 1905 to be a fair prospect of his restoration
to his Governorship.
In the meantime, in December 1903, a branch of the Impeiial Bank
of Persia had been opened at Nasratabad j and in 1905 the British
Indian railway system had been extended to Nushki, 93 miles on the
way from Quetta to Sistan, of which a lease had been obtained from
the Khan of Kalat in 1899. There were also negotiations on foot at the
end of the period for the connection of the Indian telegraph, which had
reached the frontier station of Robat in 1904, with the Persian station
atNasratabad by means of a line, 100 miles in length, to be constructed
