local Director General of Quarantine has loyally supported his
Sovereign, aimed at discrediting the British Agent and the British
Medical Officer and at recovering a control which is chiefly
concerned with obtaining revenue at the expense of the pilgrims.
Chief amongst these incidents was an entirely false charge that the
Medical Officer had offended some Moslem women in the course
of his inspection, and the refusal of the Port Police to allow him
to board a British pilgrim ship which was anchored outside the
three mile limit. For the latter action, a public apology was
demanded by the British Agent within twenty-four hours. The
King, realizing that he had gone too far, agreed and after first
promising to send the Emir r Abdullah, finally despatched Kaisuni

resigned,
and the King telegraphed, asking that his own resignation should
be accepted before June 21.
The Director General of Quarantine, Mohamed Efi. Husseini,
has always resented interference and is no doubt at the bottom
of the trouble. It is unlikely that matters will run smoothly
so long as he is in office and an attempt is being made to remove
him. It is not yet clear whether the King is in earnest over
his resignation or whether he is repeating the bluff which he has
tried so often. His resignation is based on wider grounds than
that of the Quarantine control, which is merely being used
as an excuse.

The
Political Agent
A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency.
, Koweit, reported on April 10 that he
had received news that Tbn Bashid had been murdered by a
kinsman named c Abdullah ibn Tallal, who in turn was slain by
one of the Emir’s men. The motive for the murder was family
jealousy or revenge.
It was said that the Emir had been succeeded by his nephew,
'Abdullah ibn Mita'b, a boy of 13, whose great-uncle, 'Agab ibn
'Ajil, a man disliked by the people, had undertaken to act as
regent.
Public opinion in Mesopotamia was that the event would
greatly strengthen the position of Ibn Sand in Arabia, and it
was thought that he would insist on a nominee of his own as
Emir of the Shammar.
Ibn Saud himself informed the Civil Commissioner, Baghdad,
on May 7 that a representative deputation from Hail had visited
Biadh and the following terms had been agreed to by both sides :—
(1) Ibn Saud to conduct the foreign relations of Hail.
