low Prisoner.

wALLA wALLA, wash, Oct. 6.-What
may yet result in tragedy, occurred at
the peniten.iary Sunday, when Convict
Davis, who made the artfnlly contrivcd
attempt to escape by forminga dummy
in his cell, made murderous attack
with a hatohet upon Sergeant Band, an
other convict, whom he suspected as
giving him away with regard to the
dummy affair. 1t happened when the
men were washing or cleaning up. Davis
had previously secured a hatchet from
the brickyard and had the same con-
cealed in the cell. but no opportunity
occurred for him to work vengeance
upon his fellow convict until sunday.
Band was in semi shopping posture,
mopping up the floor of one of the out
buildings, when Davis came up behind
him and struck him q murderous blow
on the head with the hatchet, repeating
It several times, when two convicts in
terfered and saved Bands life. The
physicians stated that II Band does re-
cover. he will be insane. None of the
guards arrived until IL was all over.

$4,000 of the latter's money. Meyer.

THE MORMON oONFERENCE.
Imbeciie Ranting by tho Leaders Of
the Church.

SALT LAKE, Oct. 6.-At the Mormon
conference yesterday George q. Cannon
spoke OF the lofty conceptions of the
saints, especially regarding tho future
state. He believed the brethren In the
when they got out than if they had not
got in, because they could say they had
not broken any OF the covenants they
had made. He thanked God he lived
among such people-men who were not
afraid of consequences and took punish
mcnt like heroes. The time was com
ing when the condpct of the Latter Day
Saints would stand out as the brightest
page in modern history. Their suffer-
ings would be acceptable to the Lord.
Cannon further said that the saints
would obey the laws and bow In sub
mission to the nations will leaving the
consequence to the Lord. He told the
people not to worry about 1S9l--that
Christ would not come then.
In the afternoon President Woodruff
spoke. He said the Lord was about to
prune his vineyard for the last time and
that souls would fall like grain before
the reaper.
This morning the official declaration
of President Woodruff, lorbidding in
lutuTt any vi tIls
laws of the land was read, and the con-
gregation, numbering nearly 10000 per-
sons, including apostles, bishops, and
leading elders of the church, by a unani-
nous vote, recognized the authority of
the president TO issue the manifesto, and
accepted IL as authoritative and binding.
George q. Cannon publicly announced
his Endorsement of the manifesto and
his recognition of the supremacy of the
laws that had been declared constitu-
tional by the supreme court of the United
States.
The conference also re-adopted the
original articles Of faith, among which Is
this: "We believe in being subject to
kings, presidents, rulers, and Iaagis-
trates, in obeying, honoring, and sus-
tanning the law"
This action is considered a settlement t
Of the vexed question, and places bar
against further poiygamous marriages
in Utah. 1t is the most important step
taken by the church for more than Q
quarter of a century.

A Favorable Report by tho Governor

WAsHISGToS, Oct. @. - Governor
Prince, of New Mexico, in his annual

settlement of the question oi land titles
In that territory. OF 2l3 grants pre-
sented TO the surveyor general for action

ports made to the interior department.
Previous TO 1870 congress acted upon
only forty-four of these cases, and dur
II x the next decade acted upon but one,
and since 1879 had not attempted to
consider any cases whatever. The plan
OF having congress act upon these
clnims, lie says, is preposterous fall
ure. During the year the entries on
public lands aggregated l,773, OF which
Az were homesteads and $50 pre-emp-
tons.
The total assessed valuation of prop
erty in the territory Is SAC. 0ii, ole, and the
territorial indebtedness $50, 06O.
Crops Of all kinds are iully up TO the
average and larger acreage has been
planted this year than ever before.
Tho cattle industry is greatly i'm
proved of late. The sheep owners hav
also had u good year.
The mining industry is In a flourish
ing condition, the total output of gold,
silver, lead and copper aggregating over
$1,000 900
The governor, in conclusion, makes q
strong plea for statehood, and says that
none of the territories recently admitted

ton, wealth. intelligence, or in every

rect. This, he said, had been done three
years ago and the congress should have
