the Hamidiyah march was played, and public prayers were recited in the
name of the Sultan of Turkey. It was observed that Ibn-Rashid was
not present, even as a spectator, at these ceremonies j and the concluBion
was drawn that the inhabitants of Qasim, in submitting to the Porte
had stipulated that the Shammar Amir should be allowed no locm standi
in their affairs,—a point on which Ibn-Sa'ud had from the first laid
great stress in his negotiations with the Turks.
The country of Najd was next parcelled out into administrative divisions
on the usual Turkish system. Buraidah was constituted a Qadha under
Salih-bm-Hasan as Qaim-Maqam, and 'Anaizah became a Mudirlik with
'Abdul 'Aziz-bin-'Abdullah as Mudir; but the relations of these two
officials to one another were not, apparently, defined. Whether the new dis
tricts were administratively dependent on Basrah or on Madinah remained
unknown to the Arabs; but by the Turkish officials they were believed
to have been attached to the Basrah Wilayat, and Southern Najd was
understood to have become a Qadha under the Wali of Basrah, with Ibn-
Sa'ud tor Qaim-Maqam and headquarters at Riyadh. These dispositions
which were the more easy to carry out that they were purely nominal, had
no sooner been completed than the veteran Ahmad Faizi Pasha An Ottoman title used after the names of certain provincial governors, high-ranking officials and military commanders. having
