BALTIMORE, Mp, October G.-To-day
the Gcrman-Americans Of this city cell
ebrdted, in memory of the men who,
more than POO years ago, founded the
first German colony in America. The
inclement weather did not prevent en-
thuSiaStic German-AmcricanS from at
tending, and the auditorium where the
exercises were held, and its approaches,
were packed to the utmost capacity.
Col. Frederick Raine. editor and pro-
prietor Of the German Correspondent,
delivered the Grafton of the day, and
the audience was in full sympathy with
him from his first utterance. He said
that as the Germans had stood shoulder
to shoulder with native citizens of the
country to fight for the independence,
the freedom and preservation Of the pub
lie, of the Republic, so have they
been industrious co-workerS in the
sphere of science, art. and industry:
and all their efforts have been devoted
to the advancements Of the best inter
estS of the country Kentucky'S first
pioneer, Daniel Boone, was man OF
-Carolinian, in stock, and the
German and Swiss industry opened to
culture the forests of Eastern TenLes-
see. a torchlight procession finished
the celebration.

TUE OFFICIAL DECLARATION
OF President Woodruff of the Mormon
Church, FOrbidding Polygamy.

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, October C.
AT the general Conference Of the Church
Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints,
this morning, the official declaration Of
President Woodruff, forbidding in the
future any marriages in violation Of the
laws OF the land, was read, and the
congregation numbering nearly ten
thousand persons, including the apoS-
ties, bishops and leading elders
of the church by unanimous
vote recognize the authority of
the President to issue the manifesto
aud his recognition of the supremacy of
laws that had been declared consttu-
tional by the Supreme Court of the
United States. The Conference also re-
adopted the original articles of faith
among them this: 1--WE believe in be-
ing subject to Kings, Presidents, Rulers
and Magistrates, in Obeying, honoring
and sustainingothe law"
The action taken settles the question,
and places an efTectual bar against
future polygamous marriages IN Utah.
1t is the most important step taken by
the Church for more than quarter of
a century.

There is not the evidence to show that
