PEOPLE IN GENERAL.

Biehop Partt visited the College OF ST. James
at Hagerstown, Nd, yesterday and confirmed
a class OF nine,
Minister Phelps sailed for Liverpool to-day.
He was last night given a reception at the res
idence OF Cyrus W. Field in New York. Senator
Evarts, John Blgelow, William Dorsheimer
and President Porter OF Yale were AMONG the
guests.
Colonel Fred Raine, Consul-General to Ber-
lin, was banqueted at Baltimore last evening
by the German. American Democratic Associa-
tiou OF that city.
Minister Lowell has engaged passage for his
return to this country from London TO start on
June 10.
The departure OF Senator Eusts for Italy
come weeks earlier than he intended was In
duced by the receipt OF a cablegram announc-
ing the dangerous Illness OF his daughter at
Rome.
The Russian Minister and Madame do STRIVE
will spend the summer In Russia, sailing the
last Of the present month.
Charles Longfellow, the son OF the poet, Is
about to start upon journey around the
world.
United States District Attorney Martin L.
Townsend, New York, is sick from malaria
and 1t is feared that he will not get well.
Mrs. Anaguos, one OF the daughters OF Mrs.
Julia Ward Howe, Is now engaged In writing a
novel. This is the third Of Mrs. Howe's daugh-
ters who have adopted literary pursuits.
General A. II. Lawton has been appointed o
national delegate to the forthcoming CONNER
cinl convention at Atlanta, Ca, and will dis.
cuss the question OF reciprocity treaties be-
tween the United States and foreign countries.

The Fire Department.

The monthly report of Chief Croniu
yesterday indicates continuance of the
splendid service of the Fire Department.
While almost every city in the country
has had more or less disastrous couaagra-
tions during the past six weeks, Washing
ton has not encountered fire Of any pro-
portions since the burning of the National
Theatre In February. Tho months Of
March and April are everywhere considered
by insurance men as most destructive to
property, but Washington has passed
through this period with scarcely an alarm
worth mentioning.
Our citizens cannot too highly appreciate
tho vigilance of Chief Cronin and his gall
liant men. They have not only been
prompt in responding to calls, but have been
active in preventing fires by making thor
ough inspections and giving timely warn
ings. Statistics show that insurance in
Washington is cheaper and more profitable
than in any section of the country, and q
large proportion Of the credit belongs TO
our Fire Department

MIR. COZ nnn His Mission

There appears to be no sensible reason
why Hon. s. s. Cox, Minister to Turkey,
shonld listen to the pleadings of his New
York friends and decline the mission.
Very naturally he will be missed in the
House, but the hope held out to him of be-
ing elected Speaker is barren one. Even
the glittering prospect of Presidential
nomination should not prevent Mr.. Cox
from assuming the grave duties and respon-
sibilities assigned him by the Administra-
tion. 1t is not recorded that Cinclnnatus
stood out in the big road to signal the peo-
pie as they came over the hill.
As matter of fact, however, the resig-
nation of Mr.. Cox as Member of Congress
went into effect on April 80, and he is now
in possession Of his commission as Minis
ter to Turkey. Therefore to "return were
as tedious as going on and the great body
of the Democracy believe he will shortly
enter upon the diplomatic service. Por-
haps no man is more thoroughly equipped
for these pleasant duties, aud Mr.. Cox will
carry with him abroad the congratulations
and good will of the whole people.
The Evening critic., 1885-05-06
the Army of the po,omnc.

The reunion of the Army of the Potomac
at Baltimore to-day and tomorrow will uu-
gucstionably be characterized by more
fraternal feeling and less bitterness toward
the South than has attended such reunions
since the war. In fact, the olive branch of
peace is going forth with greater sincerity
each year, and 1t may not be long before the
hostilities engendered by civil strife will
disappear entirely and the country be
united beyond the possibility of dismember-
mont.
An interesting feature of the reunion at
Baltimore will be the presence ofone hun
dred Confederate veterans, belonging to
the Lee Camp of Richmond, Va, who are
to be guests of the city. The attendance
of small section of tho opposing army on
such an occasion is but additional evidence
that the war is over "for good" and that
not even the politicians can longer postpone
the day when the people North and South
will-at heart as in fact-be patriots and
citizens ofa common country. If army re-
unions continue to hasten the day of per-
feet fraternization between all sections, the
more of them we have the better.

mr. Bnynrd,s Voxations.

Whom Mr., Bayard entered the State Do
partmeDt ho realized the paucity of dipo-
matte experience IN his party. "Wc have
been out Of power so long" said he to a
friend, THAT It will be n difficult matter TO
find Democrats of sufficient public train.
ing to acceptably represent the Government
abroad. There are plenty Of bright, active
mon among us, but we need mon of some
experience to cope with the willy diplomats
OF Europe 1t was this search for expert
enoe that led tho Secretary to dolve among
the musty records Of Buchanan's admins
tration aud bring forth Democrats vino had
retired from public life before tho war be-
gan In doing so he naturally encountered
many new phases of personal attitude
toward the Government which great civil
strife had ongendered aud left unsettled.
That was ono Of the difficulties of reviving
retired diplomacy, which was bravely mot
and as bravoly fought.
But there is another feature Of Mr..
Bayard's administration that has proved
embarrassing to himself, aud for which no
certainly cannot be held responsible. That
is, the numerous declinations of appoint
mcutb 70 bue ulplotnaViC anu COusulaI
service which have recently been filed. In
nearly every instance the appolntee was
personally an applicant, and had secured
the strong Endorsement of prominent men.
Mr.. Bayard had reason to suppose that
their applications were guarantees of SER
vice, If appointed, but he has found in
some instances that ofiice.seekers have
tickle minds.
A certain amount of experimenting was
expected by Secretary Bayard on his own
behalf by reason Of the long absence of his
party from power, but it is reasonable to
presume he did not expect the Democrats
he selected to experiment with themselves
and with him both. 1t is known that he
took all ordinary precautions to have the
offices accepted before appointments were
announced, aud If persons elected to change
their minds afterward, it was mental and
moral transposition that no man could have
spprehended, and for which the appointeei
themselves are answerable. Hereafter Mr
Baysrd should require applicants for diplo-
matte and consular service to certify that
their application Is an earnest of acceptance
aud not made from desire to experiment
or on any other equally frivolous ground.

Sir Paiar,a RecnIr.

There arc Englishmen who agree with
Americans In considering the recall Of Sir
Peter Lumsden from the Afghan frontier a
humiliating concession to Russia that is at
once unworthy Of Mr.. Gladstone. The
Premier asserts in defense that Sir Peter
has merely been called to. London in order
to aid in the further negotiations respect
ing the delimitations, which arc now to be
conducted from that central point.
Meanwhile the Marquis of Salisbury is
telling the people that he believes the en-
tire vote Of $55,0Oo,OOO credit has been ex-
pended In Egypt, aud that Gladstone's con-
cessions are rendered necessary by this
fact. Lord Randolph Churchill threatens

THE death of Msjor-Gen Irwin Nc
Dowell removes veteran officer from tho
retired list who had played an important
part in the military history of the country.
Graduating from West Point in 1888, ho re-
mained in active service for forty-fOur
years, winning his captaincy in tho Moxi-
can war and his promotion to a major
generalship In 1872, having been made
major-general of volunteers upon the reor-
ganization Of the Army Of the Potomac ton
years before. Ho was an accomplished sol
dier and brave man, but his ill.luck at
Bull Run was misfortune from which he
never fully recovered. Nevertheless the
memory of the departed hero will be duly
honored at the meeting of the Army iu
Baltimore to-day.
