Grants Generous Action i'm Lees
Surrender Described by Gem.
Lee.
Lees Interview With Chaplain Pepper.
81 wish" said Gen, Lee, ''to do simple
justice to Gen, Grant when I say that his
action toward my army is without a paral-
lei in the annals of nations. When my poor
soldiers, with fanlished faces, having neither
food nor raiment, hungry and fOotsore,
came before him in the hour Of surrender,
it was then that Gen, Grant Immediately
issued the humane order that forty thou
sand ratisns should be given to them. And
that was not all. was giving orders to
one of my subordinate officers, who was
making out the list of things to be surrend-
cred. 1 told him to include the horses. At
that very moment Gen. Grant, who seemed
to be paying no attention to what was go
ing on, quickly rose from the camp-stool
and said: No, no, Gen. Lee, no surrender
of the horses. Not one, not one. Keep
them all. Your poor people will need
them for the spring crops.' 1t was scene
never to be forgotten"
AS Lee spoke he paced the room, and
with tears streaming down his cheeks re-
peated two or three times this incident OF
the surrender.
I then asked him whom he thought to be
the greatest of federal soldiers. Indeed,
sir, Judged by Napoleon's test OF who did
all that?' Gen. Grant is the greatest OF liv-
Inc American or European soldiers"

WHITE DEVILS DAKOTA,
Chief White Ghost Writes of the
Robbers of Crow Creek.

Letter to Gen. Armstrong.
MY DEAR FRIEND-This dav write to
you with sad heart; pretty near all nv
lands have been taken by white people
now; they say that the Great Father has
given the land to them, but 1 doubt them
very much. know if the president has
good sense he would not do it. No matter
how much he disregards my rights, he
would not do it without first consulting us.
For this reason I doubt what the white
people say. They have also taken lands
which were allotted to my people; they
have also taken house logs which we had
cut; they have also taken some frame houses
and burned some, but these frame houses
were not built by the government aid, the
Indians bought the lumber and built the
houses themselves.
The Big Bend, the pasture for our Texas
cattle, the white people have also taken
and the Texas cattle are scattered all over
the country; this is the only place for herd
ing and ii it is thrown open, there viii be
no place for herding and the cattle will all
be lost or else starve to death, and our do
mestic COWS, great many of them have
disappeared; we fear it is the whites who
have taken them, and SOM friend, I am
in distress with my tribe; but I do not
distressed, for if they know it they will be
weakened; nevertheless do not fear for us,
for our tribe has listened very patiently to
our agent and me.
For example, to-day one of my boys, near
his place four white men were building
house, he went there and sat down with
them in house and shook hands with them
and one of them drew SiX-ShOOter from
his pocket and intended to shoot him dead,
but missed him and shot through his moe
casin. The Indian, Truth Teller, rose up,
shook hands with him and said, ''Friend,
you come very near killing me, but you
missed me; my heart is good and my heart
is not bad toward you," and he walked out.
There is one thing am afraid of; the
white people who come on to my land bring
plenty whisky, especially at certain house
six big barrels was there. They were
drunk and fight about claims and they will
be killing each other and accuse us of it. I
dread this. At many different places, with
gun and ak they have threatened us. You
know it all, and cannot teach you any
thing, but I pray you to defend me.
I am very much frightened, so I wish
you would show these words to all my
friends and we wish you to go to the new
great father and secretary and plead with
them for us. We can't spare even foot
of our land, for this reason, my people,
1900 more are coming here before the
summer is over, so there will not be room
on the land for them. And our domestic
cattle are increasing, and in the future there
will be great many more cows for which
we have no pasture, as the white people
have taken all the good pasture and water
at the head of Crow Greek, Box Elder and
the Big Bend, this being our only depend
ence for pasture. So, my friend, / pray
you to help us. May God be with you and
help you do good work for us, the Yank-
tonai tribe. I am the head chief.

APicmic for tine Thirsty,

P1TTsBURG, Penn, May S.-Wainright's
brewery, ON Thirty-sixth street, caved in
about 3 o'clock this morning. The noise
occasioned by the collapse aroused the citi-
zens residing in the vicinity, and for time
the excitement was very ssast. Rusnors of
the loss of life were freely circulated, but
were without foundation, no person being
in the building at the time of the accident.
The structure was a four-story brick and
substantially built. In it were 10000
barrels of beer and lot of new and very
valuable machinery. The immense weight
Of the beer, it is supposed, caused the sup
ports of the floor to give way, and the build
ing collapsed from the roof to the cellar.
The falling in of the walls crushed the beer
barrels, and torrents of the malt fluid ran
into the street and completely flooded the
cellar The loss is estimated at over $780,
600. The structure will be rebuilt at once.

A. Great Strike Feared.

CLEVELAND, O., May 3.-The threat
ened strike among the coal miners of the
the Tuscarawas and Conotton valleys,
which it is feared will involve all
of the miners in the district
nearly six thousand in number-before
a settlement is reached, was inaugurated
Saturday evening. A special from Canton
says that 26O men in the Conotton district
have quit work. The Tuscarawas and
Conotton operators say that the rate of
55 cents per ton established in
the Hooking valley, enables Hooking
operators to undersell them in Cleveland
and other lake ports. The Richard Coal
company, employing large number of
men, have posted a reduction from rs to 60
cents, and it is said their miners will go out
tomorrow. Other operators will make
similor reductions. Bresident Mcbride, OF
the Miners association, has advised an ac-
ceptance of the reduction, but the men do
not seem inclined to do so.

GIRL WHO CAN SHOOT.
The Pacific slope Maiden Who is
Anxious to Meet Either Carver
or BOgardNs.

From the New York Star.
Miss Lillian E. Smith, the phenomenal
rifle shot of the Pacific slope, is a plump
little maiden of 13 years. She is about five
feet in height and sturdy in build. Her
face is remarkably pleasant, round and
smiling, and Gghtened up with a
pair of twinkling, deep-gray eyes.
She gives one the impression that
she is frolicsome lass, who
would never willingly or knowingly
hurt living creature rather than young
womsn who has killed wildcats, squirrels,
cotton-tail and jack-rabbits by the score,
and quail, red-heads, mallards and young
ducks by the thousand. At an early age
Miss Lillian displayed a remarkable pro-
pensity to kill all that came within her
reach, and at seven years of age she man
ufactured a bow-gun. with which she
slaughtered all the little birds about the
house.
''How did you come to be such a good
Shot?" asked San Francisco reporter of
her the other day.
81 really don't know. Itcame natural to
me. Ihave brother who is rather a good
pigeon shot. Perhaps that induced me to
emulate him and that may be the reason.
O1, llO, L ACfOA AoNO OOC11 OuG VI SldtS.
1 was born up in Coleville, Mono county,
and when was quite small we moved down
to San Joaquin valley. That is where 1
actually commenced shooting. No, I am
not wing shot and I don't like to shoot,
because am afraid it will injure my rife
shooting, though of course, L sometimes
shoot at pigeons, as did the other day at
Birds Point. You know Imade somewhat
of good score in Sacramento last October
at the Agricultural park. l smashed ninety
four clay pigeons out of one hundred. They
were sprung from the fourth notch"
''Have you tried to get up any matches?"
Haven't -" answered the ambitious
shot, with emphasis. Il have challenged
ever rybody, Carver, Bogardus and the rest
of them, and they won't take any notice of
girl. I declare it is too bad. l have not
tried to get up match in town. Your pa
per said was anxious to arrange match
with Jacoby; but Jacoby won't shoot. No
one will" and the appearance of something
like pout was plainly visible on the dis
appointed face.

Where the War Clouds Hover.

LONDON OtduuttIO'
The Herat valley must now be much less
populous than when a Persian army OF 1OO,-
600 men lived and subssted in it for nearly
two years. The population of the city is
not more than $4,000. Although
the valley of the Herat is fertilized
bv numerous streams from the Herr
Rood and its rich black soil has abundant
fertility, it has few indications of prosper
Gus vitality; it had, as we looked on it, an
aspect of desolation, of decay. If the dis
integration of the city walls has not Sc
riously advanced, it cannot be said that they
are perfect or that the defenses are com
plete. On the villages lifeless blank ap-
pears to have fallen; the less attention
paid to their defenses may be due to
peace, to the sense of security that has
arisen. but the energies that were engaged
and strained in the preservation Of exist
ence do not now appear to be directed to
any peaceful production. In many re-
spects the position of the city of Herat is
disappointing. The city is not strong for
defense, although mud-walled city OF
mud houses may offer more resistance than
more formidaple-looking stone defenses.

The Doctors, Consultation.

New YORK, May 5.-Drs. Douglas.
Shrady and Sand met in consultation at the
house of Gen. Grant this afternoon. AS
Drs. Shrady and Douglas were leaving the
house they were questioned and said
that Saturday night, with one exception,
was the best with the general since the re-
covery began. The general slept well all
night. The cancerous lump at the base OF
the tongue, at present, was not progressing.
The liberated portions of the throat, though
not by any means healed, were clean
and the general physical conditions
improved. The glandular swelling that in
creased ON Saturday afternoon had almost
disappeared during Sunday by reason OF
rest When pressed to say whether the
cancerous lump had improved the doctors
declined to say further than above.

TOO LATE ARRIVAL
of the hook and ladder company and the
panic of tenants The fire did not get be-
yond the fourth floor except in the hall
ways, where the doors and wainscoatings
were black and charred. The building had
frontage of thirty-ive feet, and was
twenty-five feet deep. The Railways were
three feet wide, with stairways two feet ten
inches in length, and landings six feet ten
inches wide. Crowds of people visited the
scene of the catastrophe to-day, but be-
yond the few broken windows there was
little to see of the effects of the disaster
which has caused so many deaths and so
much suffering. The fire broke out in the
kitchen of Humphreys restaurant. The
police think it was due to .carelessness on
Humphreys part, who often closed his sa-
loon and left very hot fire in his range.
The loss in property was Insignificant.
At p. m. none of the patients suffer-
ing from suffocation had recovered con-

Valley City will never have peace and
serenity until few of its people are set off
upon a reservation like the Indians. The
late airing of the mutual grievances before
the bishop seems to have afforded no relief,
and they cannot meet at the communion
without trouble if not blows.

Cabery, I'LL. Swept by Fire.

KANKAKEE, Ill.,, May 3.-At 2 o'clock
Sunday morning fire was discovered in Mrs.
Hilborn's millinery shop at Cobery, a vii
lage of 800 population twenty-five miles
from Kankakee, and there being no fire de-
partment there the flames spread over
the entire business portion, burning
to the ground twenty-four business
houses and fourteen residences. The
total loss is estimated at 100000. Most
of the losses are partly covered by insur-
ance, the company losing heaviest being
the Phoenix of Brooklyn. The other COM
panies are mainly of New York. The
heaviest individual losses were On the store
of j. B. Olson & Co., $4,000; insurance,
81, 900; L. P. Latham, hardware, $4,000;
insurance expired. The postoffice is total
loss, the amount unknown. The fire is be-
lieyed to have been of incendiary origin.
Three suspicious looking characters left
on freight train just after the alarm was
given and were arrested on telegraphic
orders. The populace is furious, and if the
men cannot show clear record their
chance fol lynching is good. f

WINNIPEG, Man., May 3.-The tele-
graph line is still down west of Humboldt
and nothing can come through. Mai.
Walsh has been visiting the half-breeds
near Qu'Appelle and has every
confidence that they will prove
loyal. Many of them have friends and rel
atives in RiePs camp, and say if it were in
their power they would induce them to
withdraw. Indian Agent Mcdonald has
gone to Touchwood, where the Indians
have left their reserve. They have plenty
of provisions. and Mcdonald does not see
why they have left the reserves. He
will try to get them back There is a re-
port that they have gone north, but it is
not confined. The remains of Private Fer
guson OF the Ninetieth rifles, who was
killed at Fish creek, arrived at Fort
Qu'Appelle to-day. They will be embalmed
and brought on to Winnipeg. Lieut.. Swim
ford's body is expected to arrive there to-
morrow and will be similarly treated.
OPENING OF NAVIGATION.

nectiOns with their trains.

special TO Cne GlODe.
STEVENS POINT, Wis, May 3.-The
most destructive fire this city has expert
ehced in many years broke out in Herrin
and Wadleigh's lumber yard this morning.
Nearly all their best lumber was piled on
the north side of the Wisconsin Central
and east of the Green Bay, st.
Paul & Winona railroad tracks,
covering about two blocks in the
center of which the fire started. The one
steamer and one hand engine which COM
prise all the apparatus in the city were in
sufficient to cope with the fire, and the en-
tire square was burned out, with about
500, 900 feet of lumber, 1860 shingles
and 700, 900 lath, all owned by Herrin and
Wadleigh, except 500, 900 feet of lumber
owned by Robert Maine, on which
there was an insurance of $500
in the Home of New York. The
immense lumber and shingle sheds, sash
and door buildings of Herrin & Wadleigh
were also swept away. AS Maj. Herren is
in Chicago, and most of their insurance was
placed with agencies in that city, the details
cannot be obtained tonight. Three dwell
ings and two barns belonging to other
parties were destroyed and several others
damaged. The fire is supposed to have been
the work of an incendiary.

All the boats are grounded below Swift
Current, and unless teams are brought into

nearest point to Clark's Crossing, and Moose
