Reason For the Falling Away in
Discount Rates.

LONDON, June THE falling away
in discount rates during the week was
due to the release of funds from the
treasury but there is unlikely to be
any further decline, in view of the i'm

stock exchange settlement next week
in which there is a heavy mining and
home railway account. The stock mar
ket was fairly busy, the funds and
colonial stocks being still strong, es-
pecially for Cape Colony and Natal.

some members and change in officers
are the suggestions made by members
of the association in response to cues

small attendance.
At the morning session of the con-
ference Elder Abram H. Cannon was
the speaker. Elder Cannon declared
that he believed a feeling of zeal and
enthusiasm should be aroused among
the young for the purpose of improv-
ing the education as to matters divine.
There will come time when those
who are IN authority today will no
longer be here and the generations
which are to come will need the adj

the case at present. The same cues

FIRKET, Egypt, June This point
was taken by Egyptian troops at an
early hour this morning, and their
manner Of acquitting themselves in
this, the first engagement of the Nile
campaign, has given great satisfaction
to the British officers in command of
them. The Egyptian forces left
Akasheih last evening, June 6. The
movement was a surprise, as it seemed
to have been determined to hold
Akasheh as an outpost until the sea-
son was passed, and the period arrived
for the advance upon Dongola in the
latter part of August or in September.
The force responded promptly to
orders, however, and was soon under

twenty miles, and it took the whole

cause. The young ought to take adj
vantage of the opportunities which are
afforded them Attend church and
Sunday school and learn those things
which are essential to a thorough
knowledge of the divine. The Sabbath
schools were dismissed this morning
in order to allow the children chance
to attend the conference. but it is
doubtful if one in ten are present. The
teachers should have brought them
and the congregation would have been
much larger No amount of faith will
bring to our minds a knowledge of the
teachings of the gospel unless deeds
accompany them.
Mr.. R. n. Alfred spoke on the same
subject and the conference recessed
until o'clock.
At the afternoon session, after all
the authorities of the stake had been
sustained, President MILFORD Woodruff
spoke and said that no man who has
the privilege of the gospel can forsake
his responsibility. He must rise up
and magnify his calling and all Lat
ter-day Saints should understand that
God is not trifing with the people of
the earth There is nothing more
pleasing than to see the young men
and women growing up in the faith;
to have them go on missions and bring
encourag cement to the church. He
urged a larger attendance at the Sun
DAY schools.
George @. Cannon thought every
parent ought to impress upon the
minds of their children the Importance
of the privilege of hearing President
Woodruff speak. His testimony is
very valuable inasmuch as he has
passed through all the trials of the
church and is competent to speak.
He received his endowments at the
hands of the founder of the church and
is the only living apostle of the num-
Der who came here with the Saints.
We are living in a remarkable time;
a time when the discoveries of science
seem to have almost a. supernatural
character. The things which our chill
dren regard as common were few
years ago remarkable to us and we
are at the threshold of the door of new
discoveries. We must learn that all
knowledge comes from God and that
He is but manifeSting Himself to us.

MURDERER RaspirHp.
He Now Wishes that Iis fisd Taken the Twenty
Years. VISA.

ST. JosRpn, Mo-, Msrch 49,
Thomas Punchion. the wife-murderel
whose execution had beon set by the
supreme court for to- day, has been re.
spited by Governor Stone, for one
month, or until April Srd, next. Few
people believe that Punchion will hang
at that time, the general impress
sion being that, in view OF the extraor-
dinary circumstances OF the case,
Governor Stone will commute the
death penalty to term Of imprison-
ment.
Punchion's predicament Is Of his
own making. His crime was deliber-
ate and his guilt fully proved. On his
first trial, however, the jury was In
clined to lenient view and let him off
with twenty years. imprisonment.
The convicted man and his counsel,
however, thought that better than this
might be done, and q new trial was
secured. 1t resulted in Pnnchion being
again found guilty, but this time the
death penalty was imposed. The case
went to the supreme court, where the
decision was affirmed and day Of
execution set. Punchion has since
several times expressed himself to the
effect that he wishes he had taken the
twenty years and have done with 1t.
