Forte aud Ibn Sa'ud, in negotiations at Basrah, that each of the two Amirs
should in future govern his ancestral dominions as a vassal and official of
the Sultan, while the intervening district of Qasim should be occupied bv
Turkish troops with the free consent of all concerned and so brought under
direct Turkish control. This scheme was actually carried into effwt; small
Turkish garrisons were established in Qasim; and an imaginary partition
of the country into Turkish administrative districts took place. But Ibn
Sa'ud, who was now much stronger than Ibn Rashid, had no intention of
allowing himself to be restrained by the Turks from further victories.

in battle with the Wahhabis, and the Turkish pacific occupation of
^asim, which dtptndcd on an exact balance of power between Northern
<uid Southern Najd, came to an ignominious end.
In the summer of I'JO.j, while the Wahhabis, probably impressed to
some ( xtent by the iurkish annexation of Qasim, were militarily inactive,

thence to the Shaikhs ot 1 racial "'Oman to apprise them of his intention of
