Surrender Described by GEN.
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 paral-
lei in the annals of nations. When my poor
soldiers, with famished 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. 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.
1 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-
Ing American or European soldiers"

Suppltes--Dimcu1t Expected.

Special to the Globe.
WINNIPEG, Man., May 3.-The teIe-
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 Riefs 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 win be embalmed
and brought on to Winnipeg. Lieut.. Swim
ford's body is expected to arrive there to-
morrow and will be similarly treated.

A Great Strike Feared.

CLEVELAND, O., May S.-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 $50 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 a large number of
men, have posted reduction from Is to 60
cents, and it is said their miners will go out
tomorrow. Other operators will make
similor reductions. PRESIDENT 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 BOgardUS.
From the New York Star.
Miss Lillian E. Smith, the phenomenal
rifle shot of the Pacific slope, is a plump
little maiden of Is years. She is about five
feet in height and sturdy in build. Her
face is remarkably pleasant, round and
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 remarkable pro-
pensity to kill all that came within her
reach, and at seven years of age she man
ufactured a b0W-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.
Il really don't know. Itcame natural to
me. Ihave brother who is rather good

emulate him and that may be the reason.

Where the War Clouds Hover.


The Herat valley must now be much less
populous tn an when Persian army OF 10O,-
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
by numerous streams from the Herr
Rood, and it's 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
Indignation 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 a lifeless blank APP
bears 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.

LIES NAILED.
The Dastardly Attack Of the Pho

AfidaVitS
Which Prove Beyond Doubt the
Infamy Of That
Sheet,
And Establish the Purity of Action and

A Disgraoeful Publication Which Gan But

Though having well-established reputa-
ton for monumental villainy and robust
falsehood. the Pioneer Press, in the present
campaign, has esSayed the task OF eclipsing
itself, problem which, it must be granted,
seems more difficult than Archimedes' task
of lifting the world without a spot upon
which to rest his lever. For two weeks
this INSCRIPTIONS sheet has daily been
building a frame work for some colossal
pvrotechnic of lies when it was supposed to
be too late 10 refute them. On the principle
of the better the day the more damnable the
deed. Sunday morning was chosen for the
explosion. and Mr.. William R. Merriam,
the would-be boy mayor, was sent for to
touch off the match. He promptly re-
sponded. and remained at the Pioneer Press
Office until 2 o'clock Sunday morning, aid
ing in loading the gun.
For supreme villainy, for deliberate and
atrocious lying, for dastardly cowardice,
for falsehoods uttered knowing them to be
falsehoods without a shadow upon which to
rest. the article cOncocted and inspired by
William R. Merriam in Sundays Pioneer
Press eclipses any newspaper effort on
record. When MI Merriam left the Pho
neer Press editorial rooms at 2 o'clock Sun
day morning his cheeks would have illum-
med the darkness by blush of shame if
they had not been made callous by the
enamel Of indecency.
In the midnight darkness this would-be
head of a great city conspired with a shame
less newspaper and its most villainous pro-
prietors to pile Ossa upon Pelion OF false
hood, knowing them to be such, but relying
upon the nearness of election day to prevent
the statements being disproyed as thoroughly
as circulated. And then, with mock hero
ism, they invite meeting of business mem
to consider these mountainous lies, which no
individual will dare father.
The attack which is made with so much
malignant though stupid falsehood is upon
the present city government and the new
one which will be chosen when the votes
are counted tomorrow night. It consists
first of the statement that Mr.. Roche has
regularly made his annual reports for five
years, that they show over a hundred men
on the pay rolls who do no work but are
simply political strikers, and that they have
been privately submitted to cotere OF
Democrats who secured their suppression
because they revealed a system Of robbery.
There is not a man who has resided in the
city the past five years, Democrat OF Repub-
lican, who does not know that the state
ment is false on its face, but as there are
many recent corners, it is well to wipe out
Messrs. Merriam & Cos slanderous Sabbath
dav lie. To this end Mr. Roche submits the
following affidavit:

A Picnic for the Thirsty.

P1rTsBURG, Penn, May 5. -Wainrights
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 gts.t. Rumors 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 four-story brick and
substantially built. In it were 10000
barrels of beer and a 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.

Cabery.EII., swept by Fire.

KANKAKEE, Ill.,, May 3.-At 2 o'clock
Sunday morning fire was discovered in Mrs.
Hilborn's millinery shop at Cobery, 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 fourteel1 residences. The
total loss is estimated at $780, 900. 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.
$1,000; L. P. Latham, hardware, So, 900;
insurance expired. The postotfice is total
loss, the amount unknown. The fire is be-
lieved 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.

The Doctors, consultation.

NEW YORK, May S.-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 we'll 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.

Hanchett of Cook county telegraphed the
