IL was on Dec, 2s, 1918, that a body of
British troops under Gen. RIALL approached
Buffalo and began an attack. The place was
defended by l,100 men, poorly supplied with
arms and ammunition. with no discipline and
almost no organization. They were reinforced
by regiment 800 strong. also destitute of am
munition. The British force consisted OF about
l,460 men. mostly regulars, and . body OF In
dians. One detachment landed two miles be-
low Black Rock, In spite OF q stubborn resist
ance on the part OF the Americans guarding
that point, and took possession OF the battery.
The second detachment OF the British army
landed at point between Buffalo and Black
Rock under cover OF = battery on the Canadian
shore. Immediately on landing the British
formed In line OF battle and on the following
day advanced to attack the Americans. Gen.
HALL, the commander OF the American forces
attacked both wings Of the British with his
ra" militia and for . time made a gal
liant fight. On the American left, which was
commanded by Lieut.-Col. BLAKEsLIE 400 men
from Ontario county fought with conspicuous
bravery. Finally the American centre was
broken and the entire line was compelled to fall
back. Lieut.. RIDDLE. with eighty regulars,
checked the pursuit OF the British and enabled
the Americans TO escape. Finding Il was Inn
possible 10 hold Buffalo. Gen HALL left Il TO its
fate. The British then began their proEramms

Tho Irish Famine.

Again we have news of something like
famine among the peasantry Of the west Of
Ireland, by reason Of the failure Of the
years potato crop there. Tho accounts
OF the state of things brought to
us by the Irish papers arc Of the same
nature, though not nearly 20 harrow
ing, as those which were printed in
the dreadful year of 1s47, and as
Others printed too often since then.
There cannot possibly be such scenes
ut this time as there were In 1s47, when
the potato rot spread over the country and
thousands perished Of hunger, for a sympa-
thetic world would surely prevent their re-
appearance; but. even already, the scenes
are too grievous to be endured. The Chief
Secretary for Ireland has officially notified
the Cabinet that the distress Is urgent, and
that means ought to be taken to alleviate
the suffering before the assembling Of Par
lament. According to tho Dublin papers,
the calamity is widespread, people arc
starving, and any relief under the Poor law
Is wholly inadequate for the emergency.
We are not aware that Lord RosEBERY
has made any response to the appeal of Mr..
JOHN MORLEY, who, In this case, certainly
voices the mind of Ireland.
We think there must DO In tho United
States million immigrants from the most
seriously afflicted region OF Ireland. the
counties of Sligo, Galway, Connemara,
Mayo, and Clare. We suggest to these
Irish-Americans that they have q duty to
perform in this emergency. They might
send an agent to western Ireland to gather
such information as would serve to guide
them In their action, or. better still, they
might seek the advice of the Archbishop Of
Tuam, who is cognizant Of the facts of the
case. When this advice has been procured,
and 1t can be procured any day by cable,
they will know what they ought to do Tho
Irish-born people Of the United States will
certainly not permit their brethren In Con-
naught and Munster to starve.
The English Ministry can no more be de-
pended upon In a matter Of this kind than
can the English authorities in Dublin, or
sven that wellmeaning man, Mr.. MORLEY.
IL is by nature a good part of the old sod
which is in the distress that has been
brought upon it by English misgovernment,
Irish landlordism, and the dependence OF so
large portion OF the peasantry upon a sin
gle crop. There would be an abundance OF
other land crops in western Ireland, and
there would be fish crops galore, and there
would be plenitude Of profitable industries,
and there would be commercial interests far
greater than now exist, from Galway Bay
round TO Cork Harbor, II England were not
obstructive, or IL Ireland were permitted to
control her own fortunes. The western
Irish are hard-working people and belong
% q strong old race of mankind.

More Rapid Transit Folly.

( Ths report presented on Wednesday TO
the Rapid Transit Commissioners by their
chief engineer puts the advocates OF the
scheme in a most humiliating position.
After having vociferously proclaimed, for
months preceding the election, that the rapid
transit road for which they asked their
fsilow citizens to vote, was entirely practics-
BILE, and would not cost over $50, 900, 900.
II 90 much, they are now told by the Com
missions own professional expert that It
cannot be built without endsngering all
the buildings on Broadway below Four
teenth street, and that its proposed dimen-
sons are insufficient for Its purpose. The
expert, therefore, submits, a. the only prso-
ticable alterna tive, another road which he
estimates will involve the expenditure Of
st least sea, ,oo0, 900, without allowing any
thing for damages to contiguous proper
", or to the cable surface road which now
occupies Broadway
In view Of these facts, the Commissioners
have prudently abandoned the original
scheme Of construction which they adopted
In order to beguile their fellow citizens into
giving them authority to spend s5o, ,ooo,-
900; and are now occupied In devising some
mutilated and dwarfed makeshift which
they think will como within the limit Of
that sum. It may be that they can succeed
In planning such an abortion; but whether
they will be allowed by the courts and by
their deluded and indignant constituents
10 do any moro, remains to be determined.
Thus far this fooling with rapid transit
has only cost the taxpayers Of this city half
. million of dollars actual outlay.
