neglect o£ all the duties and obligations of his office" The financial
responsibilities and advantages of the Governorship had been transferred
before his arrival, to the mercantile combination which had ousted
his predecessor^ the Qavvam-ul-Mnlk, from Bushehr 5 and the Hisam-us-
Sultaneh was consequently deprived of all incentive to burden himself
with public affairs. He allowed his power to be secretly usurped by
others, and their exercise of it was attended by all the abuses and dis
advantages commonly incident to covert and irresponsible authority.
The Hisam-us-Sultaneh was also constantly at variance with the Central
Government; and in December 1890 he informed the British Resident
at Bushehr that he had resigned, and declined to transact business.
1896—1898. After this no fewer than nine persons succeeded one another in
the Governorship of the Gulf Ports in the space of about fifteen months;
these were the Iqtidar-us-Saltaneh, who was appointed in March 1897
and removed in September of the same year; the Amir-i-Panj, so
called from his military rank, who died in Persian Makran; the
Mujir-us-Sultaneh, a nephew of the Nizam-us-Saltaneh, whose appoint
ment was cancelled almost as soon as notified ; the rtimad-us-Sultan
or Baiglar-Baigi, representing his father the Qavvam-ul-Mulk, who
arrived at Bushehr in November 1897 and resigned in February 1898;
the Malik-ut-Tujjar of Bushehr, temporarily ; the I'mad-i-Nizam, a
dependent of the Farman Farma and appointed by him, who assumed
charge in March 1898 and, finally, the Sa ; id-us-Sultan (in JVlay 1898),
the Muzaffar-i-Nizam, and the Mu^izz-ul-Mamalik, all nominated in
rapid succession to one another by the Farman-Farma. The Gulf Ports
were then taken from the Farman-Farma, to whom they had been
assigned^ and conferred on the Mujir-us-Sultaneh, already mentioned,
who continued in office the last Governor appointed by the Farman-
Farma.
1898—1910. In September 1898, however, apparently in consequence of repre
sentations by the British Government to whom the Mujir -us -
Saltaneh was unacceptable as being a nephew of the * Nizam- 118 "
Saltaneh, a new appointment was made in the person of Mirza Ahmad
Khan, better known as the Darya-Baigi, then commanding the Persian
gunboat " Persepolis ^ at Bushehr. The Darya-Baigi incurred local
enmities; he quarrelled with the Mu'in-ut-Tujjar, by whom he was
financed; charges of embezzlement were brought against him which he
seemed unable to refute; and, with the formation of the Impena 1
Persian Customs, the appointment which he held ceased to be valuable.
