Sr-‘SC‘ZCIYU ring- leaders of the frustrated conspiracy of convicts to escape are in solitary cells, Thev will not be released azuil :1 confes- sion.is obtained. The Oill“cl'.< of tin-- prison do not know the details of the pint. It is certain that there was a (‘fJ‘zf‘u'ill‘RUy to es- cape, and that the assassimnion of the officers of the prison was contemplateil. The first information came from a convict whose time was nearly up. Then ade- tective was dressed in strips and sent into prison. He overheard CvMVCl'SIli-lous that confirmed the first ini‘orlnauinn. He heard them say about time, “It is only a short time now.” . The prison officers dared wait no longer, and arrested the leaders. It is believed that arms and friends were to be awaiting them outside the prison if they succeeded in making their escape. Delaney had tools for breaking out. When the guard passed, it is believed, he was to tell him with a slungshot. With his keys all the other convicts were to be released from the cells. Then an attack was to be made on the guards in the prison yard and the escape made. Among the seven are three who escaped last year and defended them- selves in a fortress among the hills until the warden made terms with them. They are Charles Dorsey, a murderer, who es- caped in 1887 and was captured in Chicago; Mickey Delaney, burglar; William Hen- lon and Harry Manning, stage robbers; Abraham Turcott and James Sullivan, murderers, and George Ross, burglar. HILL AND J ONES. A Report That That \Vill Bo New York’s Democratic Ticket. ALBANY, Sept. 8.——A current topic of conversation here is the report that Gov- ernor Hill had a conference with Hugh McLaughlin, the Democratic leader of Kings county, on his recent trip to New York, and that an arrangement has been perfected whereby the Democratic state ticket is to be again headed with the names of Hill and Jones for governor and lieutenant governor, and that District At- torney Ridgway will be the nominee for attorney general. By this arrangement the Kings county delegation is to be mol- lified, and will not make a fight in the convention for Mayor Chapin. ‘ As neither Governor Hill nor Lieuten- ant Governor Jones are here, the report cannot be verified. Governor Hill was seen before his departure for Buifalo, but declined to be interviewed as to the afore- said scheme. He would neither affirm nor deny the statement that he had a confer ence with McLaughlin, 01" entered into any agreement with him touching the programme to be adopted for the Demo- cratic state convention on Sept. 15. UNCLE SADI AND CHILI. A Rumor That the Junta Is to Be Form- ally Recognized. WASHINGTON, Sept. 8._——It was unofi'r cially intimated here Monday that the official recognition of the Chilian junta by the United States would be made known in a short time. Instructions for this formal recognition of the new Chilian power are said on good - authority to have been forwarded to Min- istcr Egan. It is also reported that Senor Pedro Montt, now representing the junta at Washington, may become the regularly accredited Chilian minister. Young Hearst’s Big Building. WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—W. R.

Mr. Hearst is negotiating with a number of leading eastern journals to join the San Francisco Examiner in the prose cu tion of Indian depredation claims against the government. She Beat the Babe to Death. VINCENNES, Ind, Sept. 8.—An adopted son, aged two and a half years, of R. H Gaines, died suddenly. The fact that Mrs Gaines was known to have cruelly beaten the child almost daily led to an investiga1 tion of the cause of death.

Mississippi Proposes to Solve the Convict Labor Problem. T0 TEST A NOV-EL METHOD. The State Penitentiary to no Sold and the Money Used to Buy Lam] V." hich Will Be Turned Into a State Experimental Farm, “'orked by Prisoners. . NEW YORK, Sept. 8.-—“VVhile the south b receiving such universal condemnation [or using the convict lease system,” said James S. Martin, a large cotton planter, of Jackson, Miss, at the Fifth Avenue hotel, “I wish you would say that Mississippi is now swinging out of line on the convict business. We farmers, more than any other class, have appreciated the evils of the present convict system, because we have to hire the negroes after they come out of the camps from serving their terms. If a negro is fairly good tempered and will- ing to do his work when he is sent to the camps for probaflly the result of a drunken brawl, he soon hash“ of that knocked out of him. He leaves the camps soured against everybody, and is ready [or any kind of villainy- It takes years of the ‘best treatment to make him realize that all white men are not against him. “Last year when the new constitution was passed it was made compulsory on the state to abolish the convict lease sys— tem before 1894 or sooner, if the state could take care of the convicts financially. Things went from bad to worse, and while the farmers, who composed the legislature last year, were trying to think of some way they could stop the whole‘ business, there came that trouble in Briceville. That settled it, and our people have new deter~ mined to start the convicts in farming.” The Farmers Urge It. “How do the farmers of the state like that?” “Why,,of course we do not object, see- ing they were farmers who passed the law and are now pushing it on to have it fol- lowed. Advertisements have been in- serted in all the papers asking for land, in not less than 3,000 acres in one body, that would be suitable for the purpose. N mberless answers have already been re- ce ved from different parts of the state of- fering good land, but at present the choice seems to rest on 5,000 acres of land in Rankin county, which is offered at a little over Sig: dollars per acre. The land is splendidly situated, lying on a railroad and being well watered and timbered. The plantation house can be used by the overseer and his men, while good houses can be put up for the convicts. One great thing will be done by this farming, and that is that the whole thing will be pub- lic. It will be sought to make the farm a model one as well as have it pay its ex- penses. To Sell the Jail to Buy the Land. “You see the great trouble with us is that we have not been able to spend any money on our state prisons, and the way we shall get the money for the purchase of the farm is by selling the state prison. The state prison, or penitentiary, as you call it here, is right in the heart of J ack- son, and occupies over four blocks. The residents ‘of Jackson have always com- plained about the prison, and we are ex- tremely glad that it is at last to be torn down. The land on which the prison stands is very valuable, and will probably bring enough over the price of the planta- tion to pay for the erection of the build- ings. .- “The most careful consideration will be given to the construction of the convict buildings in the way of cleanliness and ventilation. Each convict will have a. single iron bedstead, like those in use in hospitals, furnished with proper bed cloth- ing. The men will be compelled to care for their own beds, as soldiers in camp do, and the utmost cleanliness will he insisted on. The whole thing will be tried to see if the convicts cannot be taught to live better.” Think It Will Solve the Problem. “What crops will be grown?” “The chief crop will doubtless be cot- ton, as it is today, but I think in time the farm will come to be the experimental farm of the state. Every kind of fruit, vegetable and grain will be tested to see what improvements can be made, either in methods of planting, cultivation or harvesting. The difierent home fertilizers will be used, and the way in using form- ing implements will be changed. The plantation will certainly pay, as the over- seer will have all the labor he needs. \Ve think that the farm will settle the convict question, and not only improve the morals of the imprisoned men but really be a. ben- efit to the farmers of the state.” The Chinamen Must Return. BRATTLEBORO, Vt, Sept. 8,—The China- men arrested at Windsor under the ex- clusion act and ordered returned to China by United States Commissioner Johnson, that they held permits from the Dominion government to return to that country, were Monday ordered to return to Canada by ‘Judge H. H. Wheeler in the United States circuit court. This decision is im- portant, as it is claimed that all emigrants can readily obtain these permits, thus practically nullifying the exclusion act. Michael Davitt’s Prophecy. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 8. —Michael Davitt has been living in Oakland for a few months and now he is going to return to Ireland to his life work. In an interview yesterday he said: “Ireland is on the brink of her freedom. Home rule is only a mat- ter of a few years. Parliament may run by English law until 1893, but there is so much dissension and difference in polit- ical factions that Salisbury must call the general elections for April next, ,or, at worst, for the following autumn.” Deadly Bow in a Prison. FRANKFORT, Ky., Sept. 8.—Two convicts In the penitentiary made a deadly as- sault upon each other and a third convict atttmpted to separate the com- batants. The result is that all three are in the hospital with fatal wounds. Hanged Himself in His Boom.
