Situation In Oregon.
The petition from tile Bishop and
Diocese OF Oregon to cede over that
part of the State lying cast of, the
Cascade range OF mountains was yes
terday approved by the committees in
both houses. In tho House OF Deputies
It was passed unanimously. viva voice.
but 1t being found that the vote had
to DO taken by orders, 1T was placed
upon tho calendar, as stated above,
and will again DO voted upon this
morning. The House OF Bishops will
also doubtless take action In the mat
ter. Oregon's plea for help is q strong
one. The diocese has felt the need Of
additional episcopal supervision be-
cause the growth Is such, and the dis
tances are so great that Bishop Scad-
ding, who is physically a vigorous man,
cannot possibly do the work required
OF him on both sides of the Cascade
range.
The Cascade range Of mountains is
the natural dividing line in this State.
It is proposed by. the diocese to cede
the part east of these mountains to the
General Convention fora separate mis-
sionary district. Oregon would then be
divided in, q manner corresponding to
the districts of Olympia and Spokane,
having the summit of the same range
of mountains as the line of demarca-
ton. The eastern part of Oregon con-
tains about $4,000 square miles and
has at present about 10000 inhabl-
tants. population greater than that
OF the State of Nevada. It has no
large towns and its industries arc at
this time principally agricultural. It
contains the chief wheat-raisinE and
grazing districts of the State. Lumber
and mining are also important and very
remunerative industries. Several new
railroads are proposed for this region
which will augment It's already rapid
growth. That the Federal Government

New. Bet a5n. conn, Feb, t4.--rA mes sage re etSA~a frofA Nex York late this Afterncon Ny the directors of the saw ings bank of New Britain, contained, it ia said, a clue to the whereabouts in New York of William r. Walker, the missing treasurer of the bank, but the nature of the clue could not be learn ed s
 Not a clue as to the whereabouts in New York of Walker had been received today by the bank directors.
 No clue as to the location of the se- curities which Walker took from the bank has been found in spite of a very active search in New York and several other cities. The bank situa- ton apparently rests on the apprenen- sion of Walker, for the run of depos- itors has ended.
 The actual shortage remains un- changed at S565,000.
 The belief is held by the directors that the greater portion of the missing securities have been hypothecated, as inquiry among financial interests in New York City brought cut the fact that Walker would have been unable to dispose of the securities except at a considerable sacrifice, owing to the state of the market, but he would have been able to borrow money on them without much difficulty.
 The developments of the Aay were that Prosecuting Attorney Mitchell on his own initiative drew up a warrant for the arrest of Walker on the charge of appropriating to his own use bonds of $1.0O0 each belonging to the bank.

 Baton Rouge. La, Feb, 14.--Demo- cratic Congressman elect George K. Favrot. recently indicted on a charge of murder for the shooting of Dr. Har- ry H. Aldrich. prominent physician of this city in November last. was not arraigned for pleading today. Instead his attorneys, Kernan and BeaIe. filed a motion to quash the indictment.

A. ShafRett, mem Der of the grand jury which returned the Favrot indictment. can neither read or write.
 Saturday, February 1s. was fixed as the date for arguing the motion
