Government was now, as will be shown by and by, to provide funds for
ublio expenditure and for the personal requirements of the Shah, to
whom a tour in Europe had been recommended by his medical advisers ;
Qd in June 1898, having failed in this task, notwithstanding more or
l es s serious efforts both to place the finances of the country on a better
footing and to obtain a loan, the Amm-ud-Dauleh was compelled to
resign office and retire to his private estates near Rasht. His administra
tive programme, it may be observed, had been a reasonable and not
unpractical one: it contemplated a separation of the revenue-spending
from the revenue-collecting agencies of the State, an assessment de novo
of the land tax, a reduction of the regular army, and the organisation
of a properly disciplined gendarmerie, but, except an improvement of the
petty currency of the country which he effected by the introduction of
nickel coins, and a preliminary step which he took towards a reform of
the Customs Department by the engagement of Belgian experts, his
ideas remained virtually unexecuted.
The Amin -ud-Dauleh was succeeded in the headship of the administra
tion by the Mushir-ud-Dauleh, Minister for Foreign Affairs and
President of the Cabinet; but this official proved unable to cope with the
political situation and the pecuniary demands of his royal master, and his
tenure of power was short.
In August 1S98 the Amm -us-Sultan returned to power in his
former capacity of Grand Vizier; and his principal opponents, including
the Farman-Farma, the Qawwam-ud-Dauleh, the Nasir-ul-Mulk, the
A ; la-ul-Mulk, and the Hakim-ul-Mulk, were removed to positions in
ihich their political influence was greatly diminished. In the spring of
1900^ a Russian loan having in the meanwhile been obtained, Muzaffar-
ud-Din Shah started on his long-anticipated European tour; and a
Council of Ministers, presided over by H. R. H. Malik Mansur Mlrza,
better known as the Shu'-as-Saltaneh, his second son, governed Persia in
His absence. Contrexeville, Paris, and St. Petersburg were visited by
His Persian Majesty; but a royal decease prevented this time the
inclusion of Britain, Germany, or Italy in his programme.
In 1902 the Shah made a second journey to Europe, in the course
of which he visited England.
In 1903 troubles of various kinds broke out at many places in Persia,
and there was for a time an agitation against the Shah's Government
which seemed to be partly instigated by the political rivals of the Amin-
us-Sultan or Atabaig-i-A^zam, as he was now styled, and partly pro
moted by the ecclesiastical authorities on patriotic grounds. Important
^ociof this jwim'-seditious movement were Karbalaand Najaf in Turkish
