Lord Gray Tells Cause Of
Egyptian Uprising.
Deliberate Manifestation Of
Natives FanaiicaI Spirit.
Serious Consequences Predicted Unless the
Government Is Upheld.

London, July 5.-Parliament and the
country were given a surprise tonlght
nv an unexpected and sensational
speech by Sir Edward Grey, the foreign
secretary, on the situation in Egypt.
An interesting debate on foreign affairs
had been anticipated when the House
of Commons took up the foreign esti-
mates. but on account of Russia ana
the Congo affairs rather than Egypt.
All other subjects, however, were tenn
porarily forgotten when the house real
lied the momentous character OF SIT
Edward Greys deliverance with regard
to Egypt.
Speaking in a solemn tone ana af'ilu
intense silence the minister declared
that the recent attack on British off,
GERS at Tantab was not accidental. but
a deliberate manifestation OF the fanat-
ical spirit which had necessitated the
strengthening of the garrison In Egypt
and declared that unless the authority
of Lord Cromer and the Egyptian gov
eminent were strongly upheld 1t might
lead to a situation requiring the adop-
ton Of such unconstitutional measures
TO meet the emergency as would be es-
pecially distasteful to the Liberal gov
eminent.

The sufferings which have been
borne by early explorers in the very
heart of the inland empire settle
ments will never be appreciated by
the present or future generations.
Suffering and privation beyond the
power of tongue to describe have been
borne in what is now Umatilla coun-
ty and history has but scantily record
ed the experiences of the early pio-
necrs of the northwest.
Perhaps the most terrible suffering
endured by any party of explorers
ever coming into the west was borne
by the Hunt party sent out in 1910
by Astor to help civilize the Pacific
coast.
The Hunt party almost perished in
crossing the deserts of Idaho, and di.
vided into two parties to facilitate
travelling and to make better progress
over the wilderness. one party was
under Hunt himself, captain of the
Astor expedition, and the other was
under Ramsay Crooks, a relative of
William Crooks, of the o. r. & N.
offices in Portland. Bancroft, in his
elaborate history of the northwest,
gives the following account of the
sufferings of the Hunt parties in
crossing the wilderness from Fort
Hall to the Umatilla in the dead of
winter in 1872:
Bancroft says:
Provisions were so reduced that at
one time beaver skins were resorted
to as food and the supply of these
was so scanty that there were but
three skins to seven men. One of
Crooks men, driven by sufferings in
to insanity, jumped into a boat in
which food had been carried across
Snake river and danced so frantically
at the sight of food that he overturn-
ed the boat, lost the food supply and
was drowned himself.
Surprising a village of Shoshones.
they drove them away and seized five
poverty-stricken horses and hastily
killed and devoured them. As the
explorers never took anything with
out pay, they left ample remunera-
ton for the horses where the Shos-
homes might find It on their return to
camp.
They weer now on Snake river near
where old Fort Boise was subsequent
ly founded. With great difficulty,
the river being full of floating ice,
and the men half starved and half
frozen, weak and dispirited, crossed
to the other side, and Joining their

ran up a large number of nipa shacks
close to where the construction was
going on, and here he transplanted
the families and household goods of
the laborers. Soon he organized a
series of variety shows and even put
up a couple of cockpits and, in fact
