EARLY AZ AN ORATOR.
The Confederate General Denies the Accur-
acy Of General Grants Book.

WlScHEsTER,VA.,. June 7.-Thsgraves
OF confederate soldiers were decorated
this afternoon. General .Dubal Early,
OratO or OF the day, made an address OF
some length. 1t abounded in sarcastic
illusions to Grant and Sheridan. In
speaking OF the battle of Winchester
he said his command was forced to re-
tire before an overwhelming force mum
berins nearly $4,000 men, OF which
more than 10000 were cavalry srl-
perbly equipped, while his force did not
exceed 1900 at the most. Early
glorified the mastery retreat OF his
force. Referring to the histories writ
ten from federal standpoint, he said
one thing strikes a person with great
force, and that is the wonderful way
the confederate soldiers had OF multi
plying themselves on the field OF bat.
tie. After describing the battle OF
Cedar Creek, Early said Sheridan made
his famous ride over a distance Oi
about ten miles, and that it took him
from early morning till noon to do it.
Early contradicted the personal me-
mOirs OF Gen. Grant and the Army and
Navy journal. Speaking of the devas-
tation OF the Shenandoah valley Ear ~
said it was due more to the "magna-
nimity of Grant" than to the barbar-
ity OF Sheridan, aa Sheridan simply
took his orders from his superior.

and hundreds more would probably
haveescaped violent death il the warn

When he arrived at South Fork sta

to JOhnstOwn, two miles below, warn

fully an hour before the flood calne.
When the water was almost upon him
Parke fled to the mountains. 1t was
n gallant ride of which Parke was the
hero. II was worthy of Paul Revere.

Ex-Governor Hauser Says the Lead Ruling
Must Go.

Helena Herald.
Ex-Governor Hauser returned from
the east yesterday and was tackled" "
by Herald reporter to-day for an in
terview. Mr. Hauser said he had not
much to communicate i'm the way OF
railway news that was not already
known in Helena He said he visited
Washingto on at the time that Delegate
Carter made his speech before Secre-
tary Window on the question OF the
fraudulent importation OF Mexican
lead ores. He thinks the American
lead producers made u splendid show
ing at the hearing, and is OF the opin.
ion that the secretary will reverse the
old ruling heretofore held in that re-
gard at may he some weeks before
It is DONE" said Mr.. Hauser, "but |
don't care for short delay if it is done
eventually. Iwant to see that ruling
reversed, and ] am pretty well satisfied
it will be-"
At the time OF the reporters visit
the ex-governor was engaged IN read
ing an accumulation of mail, some OF
which were letters from democratic
and republican senators and congress-
men announcing their intention OF WIS.,
iting Montana during the coming cam
paign. That's all right" said he, rs
he laid down II letter from Senator
Plumb, "we'll treat them all right If
they come here, but it seems to me
Montana politicians are pretty well
able to take care OF themselves. How
ever, let them come and see the fun.
It's going to be red-hot campaign
and one OF the fiercest political battles
OF the age. am glad to see that such
an interest is taken in it. It's good
thing for Montana"
Mr.. Hauser has pretty well dispatch
oil the business that called him east, &,
and will not leave Helena again until
next fall or winter,

The Panama Canal.

John {. Klein, of Samoan fame, u
commissioner sent by the New York
World to the Isthmus OF Panama to
investigate the DE l-esseps canal pro-
ject, has made a report at great length,
summing up the facts as follows:
"Twenty thousand human lives
probably more-sacriiiced i'm less than
eight years; nearly 5000, 900 900 in
cash spent-at n low estimate-within
the same length OF time, of which per-
haps two-thirds has been st Olen i'm the
most shameless manner; thousands of
poor women and men robbed of all
their earnings; an enterprise, noble in
its purpose and intended to he bless
ing to mankind, perverted into the
means whereby rognes--pastmasters
in the art OF thievery-could rob their
fellow men; the shameless collapse oil
"a mighty work, perhaps the greatest
engineering feat ever undertaken i'm the
history OF the world; such is the his
tory OF the Panama canal project
such, in brief, the story OF French
men shame.

heartless manner. filling their own

Of their robberies. and making for
themselves II record of the srossest
breach of trust and knavery in general
which it l. possible to conceive. Boss
| Tweed and the New York aldermen
who appeared in the scene later, and
who are now in retirement, have been
passed and distanced by the French
! freebooters on the Isthmus of Panama,
although unfortunately they have not
yet reached the prison gates.

IDAHO COPPER.

A Lewiston correspondent of the
Cregon,an, in a recent communication
to that paper, says:
There is a region of country along the
Snake river, beginning some twenty
miles above Lewiston and extending for
thirty miles on both sides of the river
that offers the best field for prospectors
after mineral wealth. This rcylon
a5ounds in innumera5le lodges of copper
carrying paying quantities of silver and
gold. Almost any of these Lodges are
quite rich IN copper. Several of them
have been assayed and found to carry
from thirty to seventy per cen. copper,
showing this as rich in that metal as the
famed Seven Devils country This
region has the great advantage over that
OF being accessible by steamers on the
Snake river. The Seven Devils country
Is being taken up and the mines devei
'ped, ard capitalists from Montana ar,
eager y investing their money and max
ln- that investment pay them wei! whe'c
they have to haul the ore ninety miles
| with OK teams. Here these rich deposits
lie untouched by any one except by the
entcrprisug owners of the Butcher Boy
niue, who are now pushing ahead with
commemorate vigor. Their ore runs
sixty tive per cent copper, $223 silver and
81 god per ton. Counting copper
worth ten cents per pound, this makes
their ore worth SlG0 per ton, which looks
like there was something in it. The
only disadvantage holding this district
back from immediate development is tn.
crying want OF a copper smeter in Port
land. There is plenty Of copper ore il
this region alone to supply such a smeltel
with all the ore needed. Iieuieso.
