force menaced Shiraz, partly on the ground that his enemies, the Quvvamis,
were reactionaries, and himself desirous of setting up constitutional regime
in Shiraz, but more particularly because he refused to allow ’Ala-ud-Dauleh
to be sent as Governor-General, The same year he caused the caravan road
• V / to Bushire to be diverted to the Firuzabad route, which passes through Qash-
qai country, and undertook, for heavy remuneration from merchants, to
protect caravans from robbery.
In 1910 fresh trouble arose owing to the turbulence of the tribes and of
r ^ Saulat, and to the fact that his Bakhtiari enemies were in power in Tehran.
Zaigham-ud-Dauleh was sent back to Shiraz to reassume the lead of the
tribe, but met with a cold reception from the Qashqais, and had to retire
when the Governor-General espoused the cause of Saulat-ud-Dauleh. The
llkhCni had in the spring declined orders to undertake responsibility for the
“ Imperial ” caravan route via Kazarun, unless certain governorships, i.e.,
Kazarun and Behbehan, were given to him as appanages. He now in the
autumn returned to power, guaranteed the safety of the road, and his nomi
nees were posted in Kazarf.n and Behbehan. The FarsTnadan, however,
broke loose from restraint on the downward migration, and created great
destruction and havoc along a portion of the telegraph wires near Dasht-i-
Arjin.
The appointment of Nizam-us-Sultaneh as Governor-General of Fars was
welcomed by Saulat-ud-Dauleh, whose interests and policy were in many
respects similar to those of Nizam. In January 1911, together with Saulat-
us-Sultaneh, his younger brother, he took the unusual step of coming to
Bushire with several hundred tribesmen to greet the new Governor-General.
- He had obliged the Khans of Borazjun, Ahmadi, and other places on the
main caravan route to pay him large monetary tribute. Kamarij stood
in his way ; and this place w r as coveted by the Kashkuli Khans also, whose
winter-quarters march with the Kamarij district. After despatching a
force of Qashqais to assist in Nizam’s punishment of Tangistan, the llkhani
turned some of his tribesmen on Kamarij, but gained little success. At the
end of 1910 he had again undertaken responsibility for the security of the
caravan route via Kazarun, and he sent Muhammad ’Ali Khan, Kashkuli,
against the Mamassani tribes, authors of extensive robberies on the road.
His relations with this Kaldntar were, however, far from cordial.
In 1911, realizing that he had many enemies among his chiefs and relatives,
Saulat-ud-Dauleh skilfully appointed Saulat-us-Sultaneh, his brother, as
Ilbegi, with charge over the internal affairs of the Qashqai : this was to keep
his brother from intriguing against himself. At the end of April 1911
occurred the attack on the Quvvam brothers by Nizam-us-Sultaneh,
A. * an( l the murder of the younger, in which the tribesmen were implicated,
probably with the IlkhdnVs approval. It is undeniable that Saulat-
ud-Dauleh had the power, when his pocket was properly compensat
ed, and no intrigues were on foot against him, of maintaining order
and security on the caravan route, for, apart from his successful
guarantees of the Firuzabad and Jirreh routes, he substantially alleviated
the position of merchants in Shiraz and Isfahan during the summer of 1911,
by undertaking the protection of caravans which passed up by the “ Sarhad ”
road through his tribal country to Qumisheh and Isfahan. When, however,
