It Is reported that soon after Shaikh Mnrteza left for Ram Hormuz, Bakir
Khan, Agha Zaman and Kuli Khan also left for that place. They have now
written to Shuster saying that they have made friends with the Shaikh through
Haji Rais and will return to Shuster after visiting the Shaikh at Nasiri.
Shuster is now quiet but there is some firing at night.
606. The British Agent at Shuster reports that the residents and merchants
of that place are anxious that the railway should pass through that place. They
hope that the arrival of railway will bring peace and quiet to the town.
607. The question of landing charges for cargo which was acute some two
years ago has once more come to the fore.
The British Agents who have not been satisfied with local methods have
now taken matters into their own hands and insist on doing all landing them
selves, and are adding a sentence to that efiect in their bi Is of lading. They have
fixed a general price of 75 per cent for all classes of goods.
A movement against this price was made by all the Persian merchants, being
instigated, so it is said, by Agha Abdi, the former landing contractor, at any
rate at its inception.
The matter was referred by His Majesty's Consul to the Chamber of Commerce,
who determined that the charge was a fair one and gave the calculations on
which they based their statements. Unfortunately the Chamber is composed
mainly of local shipping agents. The merchants again visited His Majes y's
Consul and were advised to address the Chamber direct, giving the figures on
which they base their statement that the charges are excessive. This they have
done and they have also quoted Bushire and Basrah rates. The question is still
under reference and it is to be hoped that the firms will see their way to reducing
the landing charges on loaf sugar.
It is difficult to determine accurately what should be a fair charge as the j
rates for the hire of barges is undoubtedly high in Mohammerah.
608. The Kasid of Messrs. Lynch Brothers at Shuster was, on his return Conditkm of
from the S.S. “ Shushan ", robbed of a horse belonging to Messrs. Lyncln The Roads, Telegraph
Governor has stated that as he gets no pay from the Belgian Administration he and yervice -
can keep no sowars.
609. Mirza Muhammad Ah Khan, Inspector of Telegraph Lines in Arabistan,
arrived from Ahwaz on the 24th May and left for Borasjun via Bushire on the
25th to meet Mr. Hamilton in connection with the repair of the Telegraph Lines
between Borasjun and Behbahan.
610. The Mohammerah merchants have shown great pleasure at the fact that
the Telegraph Line is being taken in hand by the British. 1
611. Mr. Hedges of the Indo-European Telegraph Department arrived from
Bushire via Basrah on the 17th May for the repairing of the Telegraph Lines
between Mohammerah and Nasiri.
612. His Majesty’s Consul for Arabistan, Mohammerah, left for Basrah in Misce ii ane ous.
his launch on the 1 st but was unable to return the same day on account of the
high seas in the river.
