Having taken a survey of the political conditions governing Persia
generally during the period under consideration, we now turn to our
proper subject,—the history of the Persian Coast and Islands,
The administration of Fars, as that province included in 1905 the
districts of Liravi, Shabankareh, JVIazara^i, Dashtistan, Tangistan,
Dashti, Shibkuh, and liastak, situated on or adjacent to the shores of the
Persian Gulf

, in
other ways, may first be shortly noticed.
In the spring of 1896 His Royal Highness the Rukn-ud -Dauleh, who
had governed Pars since 1894, was confirmed in office; but in July, after
the assassination of Nasir-ud-Din Shah, he was removed in favour of
the Nazim-ud-Dauleh. The new Governor-General did not, however,
assume charge of his post until October.
In 1897 the Nazim-ud-Dauleh was succeeded by the Earman-Farma,
a brother-in-law of the Shah, under whom the Gulf Ports, separated
from Pars about ten years before, seem to have been at first placed;
but they were withdrawn again from his authority in the following
year. Supported by the Qavvam-ul-Mulk of Shiraz, whose influence
over the nomadic tribes of the province was great, the Farman-Farma,
himself an enlightened and well-educated man^ governed for a time with
vigour and success; but difficulties at length arose between him and the
Central Government; and in February 1899 he relinquished his
appointment and retired temporarily to Karbala.
The Farman-Farma was followed by the Nizam -ul-Mulk, who
remained only one year and was succeeded, in 1900, by the Muaiyid-^"
Dauleh.
