The Shauks [Sheikhs] and their attendants and many poor Arabs join the caravans from Bassora with one, two or three camels, either loaded with things of small import to barter at Aleppo, or in hopes the greater cameleers may favour them with some freight back again.

 The Bagdad Railway, 1899-1914.
The Bagdad line, as foreshadowed in the concession of 1893 to the German Anatolian Railway Company, was to be a continuation of the Angora branch, of the Anatolian railway, through Armenia, entering the Euphrates valley from the north and avoiding much expensive mountain tunneling and grading.
Russia, for economic and strategic reasons, blocked this plan and eventually the concession was for a railroad running from the end of the Konia railway to Bagdad, then to Bassora, at the head of deep water navigation on the Shatt-el-Arab, to the mouth of the Tigris, and finally to a port, not specified.
The concession was authorized in 1899, after the visit of the Kaiser to the Sultan in 1898.

 Basra refuses to deal with Britain after raid
Bassora, 22 September - In the aftermath of the British occupation forces' raid on the police building to free their undercover agents, some 200 Iraqi policemen in Bassora staged a demonstration demanding that the head of the Bassora police force be fired and the two "British terrorists" be handed over to Iraqi jurisdiction.
Meanwhile, the Iraqi government is trying to quell the rage of the Bassora police force, in which the Bassora province governor joined in calling the British assault, in which 5 people were killed, a "barbaric act".
