The minister is the brother-in-law of the shah, and is a man of very luxurious habits of life, 80 that despite a large salary and gigantic bribes, both from Russia and England, he “teats’ (thatis the Persia word for it), and. despite the fact that the shah himself has more than once {-ald his debts, he is head over heels in debt, He conformed to the weneral custom of the country—in his ease there being perhaps more urgéut necessity for it than usual—when he, on his }\nn. souglit to make a good round sum out of thé grants—enough, at least. to pay his more hit debts and have a mice nar, He had not contradicted the minister when the latter told him he had no financial interests to serve in advocating this railroad project, nor intimated in any manner his doubts of th But that e nevertheless did not believe Wi ston was shown, by the fact that he kept the Firman contract in his hands and sent around to Winston to tell him that before sundown yesterday he wanted 20,000 tomans (%$30,000). as the first instalment in the shape of remuncration for his trouble in, the whole afair, adding that he intended to be reason- avle and that there never before had been a r of this maenitude put through so y and dexteriously in Persia, nor so aply.
