Aga Khan informs me that zil-es-Sultan has re
ceived a telegram from Persian Minister tor Po,- - ;3 n
Affairs offering to arrange his journey through
Austria and he would prefer that route provided His
Majesty's Government and Russian Government approve,
Persian Minister who ashed not to he mentioned has re
ceived a similar telegram and presuming that His
Majesty's Government will not approve (?is) ready to
discountenance idea discreetly and asks tor views,
A- a Khan explains that two to three hundred
thousand francs asked for travelling expenses include
payment of small debts etc. to enable sil-es-Sultan
to leave Prance honourably. Million francs for pro
perty in Persia is chiefly for jewellery and Aga Khan
states, as proof that sum is not excessive, that his
mother's share of Zil-es-Sultan sister s ohare was
sold by him in Paris in a lump in 1902 for 800,000
