bv the Persian Government; and it seems clear that even were his son to be ousted
from the post of Ilkhani, Sardar Ashair himself would continue to exercise great power
for evil. It is not, therefore, a matter of regret that the company should have found
it necessary to conclude this agreement with the Ilkhani througu Sardar^ Ashair, as this
circumstance, combined with the fact that a representative of the Peisian Government
was present throughout the negotiations, is calculated to give a greater peimaneuce to
the agreement than it would otherwise possess.
p conclusion, the writer must acknowledge the gieat assistance lendeied to him
durirm the negotiations by Khan Bahadur Mirza Mohammed Khan, C.I.E., whose great
experience and dialectical ability were of much value. Prince Ibtihaj-us-Sultan did
nothing to obstruct negotiations, and his presence was, in fact, of material assistance.
