K-.is.tcni Slates. 55m, Howlish Wampoo, Mose3 and other Indians, are coining home, per chance to fiht. They are in charge of JIujor Gornoyer, Mr. Cornoyer stated the chiefs were well satisfied with the result of their visit to Washington. Moses had got a tract of lauid or reservation set aside for him and liis people, and for all those Tribes who wish to join him. The res ervation is located on the Columbia river. Twelve tribes will locate on this reservation. The Walla Wallas, (Jmatillas and Cay uses will select their lands in severalty, each member of the tribes being entitled to 1G0 acres. iSome of the chiefs who visited Wash ington wished to visit Chief Joseph of the Nez Perees, now in the Indian territory, but this wish was not grant ed them, the trip being regarded too long, expensive and impolitic. There is no longer any doubt that the president intends to veto the army appropriation bill. The veto message will be sent to congress to-day. In view of this announcement, and of the certainty that the pending legislative appropriation bill will also be vetoed, there is much consultation already in progress among the most promiueni democrats :is to the proper course for the majority to pursue when the dead lock actually occurs. Qt course the matter will not be decided without great difficulty, for there are many conflicting views and a large proportion of the democrats m congress continue to condemn all pro positions of compromise, Lut several of the coolest democratic leaders, have recently privately expressed them selves in favor of the passage of a joint Resolution, extending last years ap propriatiorifclintil December, and of prompt adjfjlrnmeut. Thispian would readily obtain a majority vote in both houses by the union of republicans with hard money democrats, who wish an early adjournment to prevent further widening of the breach between --eastern and western wines of the! party, which is likely to result from continued tinkering with finances, but oft money men have a majority of the votes in the democratic caucus, and the adoption of this expedient for escape from the dead lock is therefore till verv uncertain. "Pacific Coast Iisptclics. JEhree accidents occurred in the Newcastle (Seattle) mine on Saturday; one from whisky and two from falling coal. Stubborn Justice- A little trouble took place on Sunday week last at the Spokane, between the whites and Indians. The Indians claimed the land which a man named Grant had settled on, and ordered him off, Grant refused to go, and swore out a warrant .-against the Indians. One was arrested, and as they were about to lock him up twenty five mounted Indians rode in and demanded his release, saying they would take him from the sheriff by force if he did not let him go quietly. The justice stepped be tween the prisoner and his friends with a sl.oi gup, telling tl e:n lo take him if they wanted him. The Indians had a pow-wow and decided that they did not care about taking him. Monday noon Chiefs Gary and Enoch came to the justice and said that they were very sorrr their men had caused anv trouble, and that it should not occur again. A Mr. Stockwell in the Massa chusetts legislature wants to memorial ize congress for a law making ten hours kbor a day's vo k. What business has congress to say what liall be a day's work in Massachusetts? 0 ingress could just as well fix the price of molasses, or the size of beer tumblers. Congress often enough meddles with what don't belong to them, without inviting such interfer ence. Queen "Victoria's family, if her children take after her, may be very numerous before her death. The Princess Alice who died last year, married at sixteen veara. bore seven .children, live .of them nuw living A Wasp Nest in Stone. Eureka f-Vrr.) Sentinel. "While blasting rock from one of the quarries on the hillside west of town the attention of one of the workmen was attracted to the cu rious formation of 'one of the piec es that had been split off. An ex amination proved that imbedded in the rock was a wasp's nest the texture and cells of which although turned to stone, were plainly visi ble. On breaking open the cells the larva and two perfectly formed wasps were found in the same pet rified condition as the nest. There is no visible crack or outlet by which the insects could have pene trated the rock, and the pieces in which this curious formation was found was taken from a depth of forty feet from the surface. The rock is granitic sandstone of sedi mentary origin. The specimens were carefully cut out and forwar ded to the Smithsonian institute at Washington. Every one ought to be busy, but no one ought to be so busy that he can't do his work well. An overworked man is like a certain plough of which we have heard, which turned up a great deal more than it could turn over. HOTELS AND RESTAURANTS. A. J. MKGLKIL C. S. WltJGMT. OCCIDENT IIOTIiX.
