LAVA FLOWING OVER POMpEII.

It had hardened and buried every
thing under it. No one could tall
what the excavation would reveal.
Mr.. Springer (Democrat) strong
silver man, was next questioned
The interview shows that he is of
the opinion that the bill will receive
more than two hundred votes against
the veto, and not to exceed seventy
five votes will be cast to sustain the
vote. Tho parliamentary question
will be, "Shall this bill pass, the
objection of the President to the
contrary Notwithstanding ?" Upon
this question the yeas will be over
two hundred, and the nays seventy
five. MIR. Springer continued as
follows:
"The vote of concurrence will be
substantially tho same as that on
the motion to lay the amended
silver bill on the table. In view of
the prospective veto of this measure
the House will probably not proceed
on Monday with tho suspension of
the rules for the passage of missel-
laneous propositions. Mr.. Roberts,
of Maryland, has tho floor first.
"The silver men" he adds ''are not
satisfied with the bill as it now
stands, and hence will Immediately,
after it's final passage, proceed to
pass supplementary bill estab-
fishing free coinage and authorizing
the holder of silver bullion to de-
posit the same in the treasury and
obtain q certificate therefor, tho
same is done with gold bullion, and
also repeating the the provision for
an international conference, which
last is in. the Senate amend.

views Of prominent Representatives on
the Effect Of the Veto and on the Ad-
ditional Legislation Proposed
Correspondence Of the Ne,o Iorlc Herald.
WASHINGTON, February 24.-The
chances of the silver bill becoming a
law have been generally and widely
discussed to-day. The House will
undoubtedly and by considerable
majority pass the bill over the veto.
The Senate is not equally certain.
The vote is very close there, and u
change of two votes would beat the
bill. The bill goes to the President
tomorrow afternoon. There is
somo reason to believe that the veto
will not be long delayed.
Congressman Hale (Republican)
was asked to~day if he thought the
Presidents veto would gain sup
porters in the House. He replied
that he believed the contrary would
be the case.
'The motion Of Mr.. Hewitt last
Thursday to lay the bill on the table,
1t will be remembered,' said Mr..
Hale, "received only seventy-two
votes. That was u motion which
was more likely to gain votes than a
veto message would. Yet it fell
very far short of one-third of the
strength Of the House Now, if the
Republican members Of the House
were in accord with the administra-
ton, if the President had many
personal friends in the House, it
would be reasonable to suppose that
his veto would be sustained-that
is, If the seventy odd members con-
tlnued to vote against the bill. But
1t is more likely that his veto will,
under the circumstances, provoke
hostility to him, and it is almost
safe to say that three -fourths of the
members will vote for the bill. The
fnct is that the silver mania is so
strong that the only remedy for it
is a prompt practical enforcement
of the provisions of the bill, and
while there are doubtless members
who are opposed to the silver bill
in any form, yet the one matured in
the Senate is tho least Objectionable
and has all the provisions necessary
for demonstration of it's utility or
usefulness
Mr.. Hale thought that the sooner
the secretary of the treasury was
authorized to issue silver dollars,
the soone: the country would de-
mand modification of the law.
General Garfield, in answer to a
similar question, said that there was
not the the least probability of
change in the vote of the House on
the silver bill when the question of
sustaining the Presidents veto was
presented to that body. If there
was any hope it must be in the Sen
ate. The silver craze had gone too
far, however to allow even a modifi-
cation of opinion among Senators to
be expected. The effect was not
unlike that of the

Tho Tuscarora Times Recieto demands
reform in tho treatment Of our criminals.
Thu ideas ADVANCED by our contemporary
arc good, If not new. 1t wants Uncle Sam
10 establish a vast penal colony to which
ali the evil doors In the land shall be e
for life. Alaska is recommended as the
proper spot. The economy Of this plan
can hardly be questioned, unless the mum
Der of criminals became so great tina ;
standing army Of 100, 900 men should be
required 10 keep them in proper subjec-
ton. But there is one ground on which
we, ~ . citizen OF the commonwealth of
Nevada, must enter q solemn protest. If
the Alaska programme prevails the new
prison at Reno must be abandoned. This
would be not only impolite, but the refine
mont Of cruelty. The fondest hopes Of a
community ought not be dissipated. And
besides. there is no place IN earth where
tho present and prospective need Of a peni-
tentiary is SO pressing IS at Reno. How
ever. we can afford to be exactly fair in the
treatment Of this subject, and Is an evil
dsncc Of our impartiality, we append the
strongest half Of the Times eute,c article:
The present method Of Furnishing GRIM
inals in this country is . mockery Of JUS
tice and b outrage on common sense.
Instead Of our States prisons being re-
forrnatory institutions, as claimed by theo-
reticaI lawmakers. they are simply and
palpAbly vast school honses for the train
Ing OF scoundrels in the higher arts Of viii
lainy. The experience Of every observanf
person in the country il, that in nine hum
dred and pinety-nine cases in a thousand,
the person who is consigned to the State
Prison for . term Of years for the commits
sion Of an infamous crime emerges from
the institution at the end OF his term q
thousand fold bigger devil than when he
was inosrcerated. With these indisputable
facts constantly confronting our senses, ia
IL not amazing that the people Of the
United States do not demand an instant
a~bolishment OF these expensive End dam
gerous academies for villainy?
Just 80 long - We continue to send fell
pms to the ~penitentiary for limited terms,
and then turn them loose upon society,
Just 80 long will our lives and property be
1t the mercy Of educated burglars, incen-
diaries md murderers. The proper thing
TO do in order to rid the country of every
type OF villains is to send them to q penal
colony for life, just as England. France.
Russia and the other leading governments
Of Europe have been doing for ages. No
simpering philanthropy can make amends
for the hideous crimes which are being
daily and hourly perpetrated throughout
the length and breadth Of the land by lib
Grated c~onyicts. Make . penal colony of
ALASKA, send all fe3ons there to serve as
lumber cutters, seal hunters, gold miners,
any o<her work which may be Of service
TO the State, and keep ths scoundrels there
during their natural lives. e..

way. One small band of Indians, with
about so head of horses, passed down OPP
posite and in sight Of this place this morn
ing. to Join the hostiles that crossed below.
One Of them told Mr.. Switzler this morn
ing that General Howard was coming this
way. Switzler advised him not to join the
war party, and said it was no use to talk
to Indians. Switzler at once removed his
family to this place. He lives nearly OPP
posite Umatilla. This Indian, with whom
Switzler talked, was the one he had here
tofore regarded as friendly. Indian Bill
stated also that the hostiles were divided
into three parties, two would 60 below the

Major Kress, at 2 o'clock this morning,
went down the river on the steamer Spo-
kane to Coyote Station, Is miles below
this place. He passed q crossing at the
upper end Of Long Branch, two miles this
side Of the station, and saw no signs OF
Indians, Evidently the Indians mistook
the Spokane for . regular morning boat
which leaves at / o'clock IN Mondays. As
soon as it passed the head Of Long Island
they began to move their stock. Major
Kress returned Immediately and found the
hostile Indians crossing with a large num-
Der Of horses. He ran upon them, and
some of the horses returned to the Oregon
side. Others crossed over the river, about
$50, the Major thinks, there being about
300 on the Oregon side. Major Kress made
an attack on the Indiana camp and de-
stroyed it and everything about it, includ-
ing all their canoes. A number Of saddles,
blankets and buffalo robes were found at
the camp. Squads of hostiles were in
sight all the morning with stock. Scouts
are 0ut in numbers.
