~Au the letters which have seen

two thousand as the number OF the
killed in the Egin massacre.
"More women and children in pro-
norton seem TO have suffered this fate
than in any previous massacre OF

left in the streets for days as food Tor
dogs, and large numbers were thrown
into the Eupnrates-

houses as 100, and Of these il is said
only about 1870 are left This carnage
of blood ana fire lasted from Tuesday,
The 18th, to Thursday. the 18th.
"All the testimony concurs in show
ing that the massacre was official,
and that it was wholly without rea-

kurds in the place. The work wa
done by the citizens and soldiers.
"Tha massacre extended TO several G

fact that during the fiscal year just
entered upon all properties in the State

subjects of taxation. Much conten-

because the property Of certain rail

greater or less extent, from taxation.
And while it was true that these eX-
emption5 were in accordance with con-
tracts made BY the representatives Of
the people and these corporations yet
these contracts themselves fixed q
limitation thereon, and the people had
reached the conclusion, and justly /
believe. that conditions, and the time
had been reached which justified a
realization from those limitations; and
now as Il result of recent negotiations
and new contracts. brought about
largely by the earnest endeaFor Of
your Excellcncy. all the property here
