These orders were subsequently cancelled and thia action of the Revenue

blame on

Nusrat and Muhandis-ul-Mamalik. Einally, after further
protracted correspondence between the Governor-General and the Revenue
Minister, the Revenue grain was for a second time handed over to the former.
Unfortunately, this trouble resulted in the recall of Muhandis-ul-Mamalik
who since his appointment appeared to have carried out his work well. The
Governor-General promised His Majesty's Consul that he would utilize the
Government grain to keep down the price of bread and it remains to be seen
whether he will carry this out or not. Fortunately, the South Persia Rifles
have large stocks of grain and will not come into the market during the
present year. At the present time, the rate of bread is Krans 2-60 per
Kerman maund of lbs. The practice of selling the Revenue grain
to the Governor-General is open to many objections/such as considerable
loss to Government revenues, dear bread, and constant friction between
officials, etc. It would be advisable, in future, to resort to the old practice
of allowing the Revenue Department to arrange for its disposal.

Opium Department, ?p d took over charge of the Opium
Department m Kerman, as Toumaniantz's
agent. In the beginning of August when he had just started a Company
for the sale of opium and also had arranged for the Isetter administration of
his Department, orders for his dismissal were received. These constant and
ancalled for changes are the bane of the Persian Administration.
His Majesty's Consul has a clear understanding with the present
I) . str . cta Governor-General that no change should
be made in the Deputy Governorships of
the following three districts, without the concurrence of the Consulate, viz-:—
(а) Aqta Afshar,
(б) Sirjan, and
(e) Bam and Narmashir.
In practice, also, the Governor-General has consulted His Majesty's
Consul re the appointment of minor Deputy Governors.
Asaf-ul-Mulk held the post of Deputy Governor of this district up till
September and was then relieved by

Shortly after Mirat-us-Saltaneh's arrival, in Kerman from Tehran, the
Governor-General and

Nusrat approached His Majesty's Consul re
this appointment. At that time. His Majesty's Consul personally knew little
of Asaf-ul-Mirlk's work or capabilities, and asked that the question might
be left over till he had opportunity of visiting the district. In August, when
His Majesty's Consul visited Aqta Afshar, he found that Asaf-ul-Mulk was by
no means a good Governor, and that a change was desirable.
The most important tribe of the district is the Afshars. The
