The Ute Assassfns.

WHAT WILL BE DONE WITH THEM.
The demand Of Ouray-before the Ute COM
mssion-in behalf of the Indians concerned in
the White River massacre brings into prominent
consideration question which has been the
subject of consideration at several meetings OF
the cabinet Ouray demands as contingent to
the surrender Of those concerned In the murders
at the White River agency that they shall De
brought to Washington and tried, claiming that
justice to them in Colorado Is impossible. Ouray
Is either remarkably Intelligent Indian or
something of the law. The question
has been on several occasions discussed by the
Cabinet as to what could be done with the In
dians, even in case they should be surrendered.
The crime was committed on the Ute reserva-
ton, without the jurisdiction OF any state courts
It is held by the Interior department. as IN the
Ponca case which, wi while not analogous, GUS IN
dians are not within the jurisdiction OF United
States courts, or, in other words, citizens. The
only recourse would thus be to trial by military
Justice This is impossible In the present case.
The offence was not committed against the
military arm, but was 1t In any way
connected with military jurisdiction: In
this is the difference between the MO-
doc and the White river murderers. AS
there is some doubt on the subject still, the
question as to how the murderers may be dealt
General for a decision. The Indians have all
along worked for delay. In the question as
now presented they have an excellent prospect
OF success. It is not considered likely, under under
surrendered will be brought on to washington.
The opinion in well-informed quarters Is that
the finale will be the avoidance OF an Indian,
primarily formed and the confinement Of some
of the Utes in forts for term OF years, as has
been done in times past with the ComancheS,
KfOWaS and other Indians.
DECISION BY THE CABINET TO-DAY.
The attitude of the Ute Indians as contained
in the ultimatum Of Ouray before the commits
sion was the subject of quite lengthy discus
sion at the Cabinet meeting this afternoon Sec
retary SchurZ will telegraph to Gen. Hatch this
afternoon. The dispatch will be based upon the
Cabinet decision. Secretary SchurZ Will say
that the murderers, If delivered, will be granted
fair trial by a military commission outside Of
Colorado or New Mexico They will not be al
lowed to come here. 1t is thought that this
proposition will be acceptable to the Indians.

The Russian Imperial Council.
LONDON, Dec. "a Vienna dispatch to the
Times says:-''The meeting of the Russian I'm
perial Council, to be held to-day in order to eX-
anime into the internal situation of Russia and
determine upon a policy to be adopted, was
spoken Of prior to the late attempt upon the
Cars life, but its deliberations will no doubt be
greatly influenced by the event which has
brought the internal affairs of the country into
the foreground. The impression prevails that
the internal difficulties thrust so fOrcibly on the
authorities will tend to confirm conviction that
the policy of the division of nations energies
and domestic affairs by means of foreign COM
plicatiOns would not be wise. 1t is perceived
that by again committing Russia to political
environments with Europe the satisfaction of
national aspirations would in all likelihood only
be rendered far more problematical than at pres
ent exciting hopes destined to disappointment"
End of the kashgan Revolt.
LONDON, Dec. 9-The London correspondent
OF the Manchester, Guardian says he learns that
the Kashgan revolt has ended by the final and
complete defeat of Hakim Khan Of Twa with
loss OF 900 killed. Hakfm Khan beSieged TaSh-
komgan with 5000 men, the Chinese garrison
numbering only 1000, but all Of HaSkim KhanS
Kirghis force deserted him, leaving him with
1,600 SartS. Hakim Khan retired with these into
the country of the Kirghfs who had deserted his
command, which he ravaged and then started
for Russian territory, laden with booty. The
Chinese from TaShkomgan overlook Hakim
Khan on the 21st of September in the Kizil art
def1le and slew thousand of his men.

The Nomination of Secretary Nc
Crary Confirmed.

The Senate in executive session this afternoon
confirmed the nomination of Secretary McCrary
to be United States circuit judge for the eighth
circuit without debate or division. single OBJ
lection would have prevented any action upon
the nomination to-day, as it was not reported
back from the Judiciary Committee until this
afternoon.
The action of the Senate Judiciary Committee
yesterday, in agreeing to report favOrably the
nomination OF Secretary McCrary, was, as
stated unanimous. The democrats say that
there never has been any other feeling or inten-
ton among them than to confirm the nOmina-
ton; that the impression to the contrary grew
out OF the action of the committee at the extra
session requesting the President to withdraw
the nomination. because it could not be acted
upon while Judge Dillon was in Office. The fact
is that Secretary McCrary is not only popular
with both republicans and democrats, but he
is regarded by them as man of ability and
one who will make an excellent judge. 1t is ap-
parent, from conversations with democratic
Senators, that they do notintend to take issue
with with the ne President upon any OF his nomina-
u0nS The general expression among demo-
cratic Senators is, that it is the duty of the
President to select men for the various federal
offices, and unless the Senate ascertains some
thing detrimental to the nominee 1t is for that
body to confirm. Besides this, the democrats
are satisfied that nothing is to be gained in
party sense by rejecting nominations. They
say these offices must be filled in order that all
the business of the government and the people
may go on; that they cannot expect the Presi-
dent to nominate democrats, and therefore they
propose to go right ahead and confirm such
nominations as he sends.
