EAGER TO HANG ST. CLAIR.
Inhabitants of Long Valley, Idaho, I'm
 patient at the Laws Delay.

Boise, Ida, Dec. 1.-Although H. c. St. Clair is condemned to hang on the 14th of January for the murder in Long Valley last October of John Decker still some of the people in the section where the murder occurred are restless and fear that the tedious pro cesses of law will give St. Cladr a Durramt lease of life, if not release him in the end. Threats attributed to some of them have given the authori- ties at Idaho City no little uneas;ness, and 1t Is understood steps will be taken at once to move St. Clair to the jail here or to the penitentiary for safekeeping. A story is circulated that the officers will never be allowed to reach Boise with St. Clair. The dis tance is about forty miles over a mountain road, and the fact that there are so many places in which a party could be held up gives the officers a great deal of concern.

FOUR INDIANS MISSING.
Fort Duchesne Agency Police Ordered
 to Run Them Down.

Fort Duchesne, Utah, Dec. 1.-Three Ute Indians and one White river In- dian are missing from the agency and the police have been ordered ito take the trail and not rest until they are overtaken.
 The motive for this imperative or der is the fear that the runaways are about to carry into effect the threats that they would exterminate the whites of Routt county, Colo, in re- venge for the killing of their tribes mem. It was reported at the time that four Indians had fallen, but every day brings facts that go to show that instead of four, twelve lives were sacrificed.
 The governor of Colorado has ex- pressed his belief in the report by ap- pointing a committee of invesriga- tion. Elisha B. Reynolds, special agent for the Indian office at Washington, is here holding an investigation into the recent killing of Indians by game wardens in Colorado.

OREGON SENATORIAL MUDDLE.
An Effort Will Be Made to Settle It on
 the Assem bling of Congress.

Washington, Dec. 1.-An effort wi l be made on the assembling of con gress to dispose of the Oregon sena- torial case. If MT. Corbett, appointed by the governor, should be sea ed, he could hold office only until an cleo tion by new legislature, which might be carried by the populists. On the other hand, if the legislature which last year was in a deadlock on the senatorial matter, could be reconvened and induced to act, republican sen aitor might be chosen.
 With the vacancy continuing, Vice President Hobart's deciding vote IS not likely to be of much use to his party, for tie vote on an impostact measure in a senate of eighty-nine members is hardly looked for. With a republican seated from Oregon, il1e party would get only forty-five votes as now to carry the senate and. it would have che more man with which to do it.

Elizabeth, N. J., Dec. 1.-Yesterday morning Mayor Rankin revoked the permit that he had granted to the two Mormon elders to open a mission in this city. The mission was opened last night for the first time, and when the church people heard of it and learned that the Mormans were en- deavoring to gain converts to their religion, they hastened to the mayor and expressed their disapproval of his action in such plain terms that Mayor Rankin revoked the permit at once and notified the chief of police to close the mission.
 The two elders again visited the mayor and urged him to reconsider his decision, but his honor told them that the best thing they could do would be to leave the town at once, and they acted on his advice.
