received copy of the letter alleged to have been
sent by Mayor OConnor, intimating that the civic
flag was removed from the Mansion House in

MIR. Lowell Talks of His Successor.

LONDON, March 25-The Pail Mall Gazette
this afternoon publishes an interview with Mr..
Lowell in reference to the appointment of Mr..
Phelps as his successor Mr.. Lowell said Presi-
dent Cleveland was the last man who would
make an inconsiderate appointment especially
to such high office as that of Minister to the
Court of st. James. Continuing, Mr.. Lowell
said Mr.. Phelps is gentleman of high char
acter and marked Independence he is most
agreeable in his manners and has fine social
qualities. A change was unavoidable, owing to
the ascendency of a new party to power. Both
countries are to be congratulated on Mr.. Cleve-
lands wisdom as shown in the selection Of Mr..
Phelps as my successor"

The Mudir Of DOngola-

New York Times.
The Mudir of Dongola, who is now attempting
with his native troops the perilous advance upon
Berber in which the English recently failed, is
one Of those able and successful soldiers of for
tune, who have always been abundant in the
East. Born of Circassan parents, he, like his
great predecessor, Mehemet Ali, began his
career as slave, and fought his way up to
almost uncontrolled power of the same personal
ability and INSCRIPTIONS determination. Still
only forty three, though looking much older, he
is now one of the leading potentates Of the
Soudan, and Englands stanchest ally in her
recent difficulties, which would have become
quite insurmountahle had the Mudir yielded
Dongola to the Mahdi's tempting offers six
months ago. The first impression of his large
jawed, hoOk-nosed, highcheeked face, with its
struggling black beard, and his mountebank
dress of orange -colored turban and flannel coat,
loose linen trousers, and red tipped shoes, is not
particularly attractive. Butno one whoh has talked
with him or has seen him transact business can
doubt that he is fully worthy of his reputation.

Wolseley, the Judge of Heroes.


Little doubt can exist that our ''only General"
has made thorough mess of the Soudan expe-
dition, and his proclamations and speeches, in
which he vapors about remaining in the country
100 years if necessary, rather than not reach
Khartourn, fall exceedingly fiat. If the object
to arrive in time to save Gordon, it is pretty
clear that the Suakim route ought to have been
adopted. From Korti we are as under
stand, to fall back to Dongola, and our army is
to remain inactive in these hot and pestiferous
regions during the summer. They will die like
flies. And we are told that nothing can be done,
because it is impossible to quit the Soudan.
But, if so, which greatly doubt, why did Lord
Wolseley place us in such a positionQ 1t
strikes me that our best plan would be to order
him home, and to send General Roberts to re-
place him; or to leave things to General Stephen
son. Lord Wolseley WILL however, never
admit that he has bungled and failed. He will
compromise us by this swagger. aud will not
care if we spend millions that he may have
an opportunity to re-estabish not our prestige,
but his own.

THE FIRE RECORD.
Burning of the Buffalo Music Hall and St
Louis Roman Catholic Church

Burning of the Buffalo Music Hall and st.
Louis Roman Catholic Church.
BUFFALO, N. Y, March 25.-This evening, as
ali attache of the Music Hall was lighting the
gas above the STAGE the drop fly took fire from a
defective burner. In an instant the whole stage
was in flames and six minutes later the
entire building was burning. The McAuly
Opera Company were dressing preparatory to
the production of "Falka, and had barely time
to escape, some of the performers being only
partially dressed. The company lose
their entire wardrobes for the operas
of ''Falka," 'sfhe Little Duke" and "The
Queens Lace Handkerchief" The company had
most of their trunks brought to the building,
and these were consumed also Very few per-
sons had arrived to wtLess the performance,
and all escaped without injury.
An hour later, the St Louis Roman Catholic
Church. at the rear of Music Hall, took fire, and
it was soon evident that the magnificent
edifce was, doomed. The street between Music
Hall and the church is very narrow, rendering it
impossible for the fire department to do effective
work. George Smith and Joseph Green ascended
ladders in front Of the church. for the purpose
of assisting the fremen in directing
their work. The building burned rapidly,
and the fremen and Smith hastily left
the roof which they had reached, but for some
reason, Green remained, and frantically rushed
to the cupola, climbing it in full view of thou
sands of spectators. He clambered to the light
ning-rod, but returned and rushed to the body
Of the roof which was now burning fercely.
He ran to corner of the building, and,
needless of the cries of the fremen, who had q
tarpaulin stretched for him to jump into made
for the tower and from it hung by his hands full
ly ten minutes An attempt was made to reach
him with ladder but it was unsuccessful, ow-
ing to a network Of telegraph wires surrounding
the building.
At this time the entire front of the church was
enveloped in flames. When the smoke cleared
away he was seen still clingng to the edge of
the roof. Then he lunged forward, let go his
hold, and fell. He struck on his head and was
instantly killed.
At o'clock the tower of Music Hall fell in,
and o few minutes after the front walls fell into
the street. The south WALL which was unusu-
ally strongly built, as it was within ten feet of
large private dwelling, remains intact. The fire
was finally confined to Music Hall and
the church. The music hall was completed in
lS83 having been about year in course of con
struction. ST. Louis Church was the oldest
Roman Catholic church in the city. Music Hall
will be remembered as the place of holding
the grand music festival of 1883, the Democratic
State convention of 1883, and the grand music
festival at which Theodore Thomas and DR..
Damrosch appeared, in June, 1854.
