Zil-es-Sultan’s friends here are working to ootarn
for him Governorship of Pars either in addition to that of
Ispahan or with a member of hro family in the latuer
province,, This design is favoured by forward Russian
party here who see that in present conditions Zil-es-
Sultan must necessarily lean towards Russia rather than to
.Great Britain. I suggest Zil-es-Sultan should be informed
that no such arrangement is possible.
Russian Minister entirely agrees with view that in
no circumstances can same person hold Governorship in two
spheres of influence simultaneously and professes that
Zil-esiSultan would not accept Pars in addition to
Ispahan.
