HORRORS of Kurdish Marfarr

The st. Petersburg GoLOs contains n
letter from its correspondent at TabTiz,
giving particulars of the Kurdish in
vasion. The correspondent comments
on the curious circumstances that, at a
! moment when Persia was making war
preparations in Khorassau, close along
side Skobeleff7s expeditionary force,
| the Kurds should have suddenly drawn
her attention away to the western
frontier Of her dominion. OF the ex-
ccsses perpetrated by the invaders, the
writer states that they burned to the
ground few days after entry, Urmia,
Miendeh, Binab, Marah, and Sovook-
Boolak, perpetrating frightful excuses
against the inhabitants. In many in
stances the people fled to the mdtchets
to escape slaughter, believing that the
common religion of the invader and
invaded would secure their immunity
from outrage, but the Kurds piled hay,
wood and inflamable material against
the doors and burned the people inside
to death. The correspondent affirms
the leader of the invasion, Ibnabulla,
to be such holy person in the eyes Of
his Acknowledgement that when he
bathes it is considered specific against
disease, and a meritous religious act
to drink his bath water. lie has i'm
mense influence over the Kurds. Dur
ing the Turkish war 10000 swarmcd to
his flag in forty-eight hours when 1t
was known that he was going TO make
a raid in person against Bayazid. The
invasion Of Persia the GoLos CORE
spondent asserts to have been exceed
ingly well timed Persia having de-
nuded Azerbijar Of troops to swell her
army in Khorassau, but be expresses
his belief that the Kurds are not likely
to repeat it, now the shah has appOint-
ed as governor of the Artpatakan
Province the late minister Of war
Mira Mussein Khan, famous for his
energetic and active administration.
The result will be that the Kurds I'M
able to obtain booty in Persia, will turn
their swords again against the Turkish /.
Armenians, who will suffer dearly for
the failure of the raid into Azerbijar /.
Among the troops operating against the /
Kurds is Colonel Domont0vitch and /
several other Russian officers. The I
armenian journal MshAk, published at
Tiffis, announces that several thousand i
people have been burned alive in their /
places of worship, in which they had /
taken refuge. The Kurds have equaled |
the most frightful excuses Of the Tar

The condition of the pecrle is worse
than that of any other in the world.

slavery in the West Indies, he pro
poses that the government should buy
out all landlords west of the Shannon
river at a cost of eS0,000,000, Of which
great part will be repaid by the ten
ants, and the cancer will be cured. lie
