WAR OFJELIGIOIS,
Catholics Triumph Over the
Protestants In East
African Affairs.
THE ENGLISH BARRED OUT
By the Dominant Party, Who Claim
French Protection.
SERIOUS RESULTS MAT FOLLOW
The Attempt of England to Keissert Its
Authority There.
FKA5CE LIKELY TO BE DRAWN IMO IT
tET CABLE TO THE DISrATCH.J
Lomiok, March 11. The news that the
Catholic party in Uganda has triumphed
over the Protestant taction has made a sen
sation here. A telegram from Zanzibar an
nounces that the Catholic influence is com
pletely predominant ; tiiat the English now
have nothing to say in public affairs, and
that the country has been declared to be
under the protection of the French. This
will not, of course, affect the claims of Great
Britain. France claims no territory on Vic
toria isyanza, and by agreement between
the Germans and British that country has
come within the sphere of British influence.
But the news excites much regret, for it
may be difhcult for the British to assert the
rights they claim. Letters just received
fro a Uganda say that Mr. Jackson, the
agent ol the British East African Company,
arrived in Uganda l.iEt soring He found
the Christians in possession, the Govern
ment being divided between the Catholics
and Protectants. Tfie heathen party was
numerically larg , but was subject to the
parties in power.
A Civil TVar Threatened.
The Protestants and Catholics were very
jealous of one another and there were pros
pects of another civil war. The Mohamme
dans, with Arab traders as leaders, were on
the borders of Uganda, threatening invas
ion. Sir. Jackson ottered to protect the
Christians and maintain peace it the taxes were
paid to tlie East African Coninany. The com
pany would gn e the King and lus chiefs money
enough to maintain their dignity and position.
iHe Protestants were willing to accept this
proposal, but the Catholic chiefs objected.
Tather Lourdel and the eulir- Catholic party
appeared not to wane the protection ot the
company. Ihey said its rule would bring ad
jutage to the Protestants, but would be a bad
thine for the RoiLan Catholics They believed
the Protestants ould piosper. increase and be
veil Moated it tbe country were under British
prote-tion, while the Roman Catholics would
be unfairly treated and would diminish in num
ber, bo tliey declined to accept British pro
tection at the cost of giving the taxes to the
companj for protecting the country.
Affair.-- were m a critical condition, and
finally a compromise was agreed to. Jackson
was to go back to the coast, bearing letters
from both parties, in which they snonld &nbmit
their respective cases to the decision of the
European consuls at Zanzibar.
The Catholics Taks Powessior.
Both parties agreed to abide by the decision
of these consul;, the questioi being whether
Uganda should accent the protection of the
British East African Coinpau, and In payment
therefor turn over to the company the revenues
ot the country. Jackson has returned to the
cast and verr little ueus has since conie frcm
Uganda. We have heard, however, of the
death of Father Lourdel, whose place at the
head of the Catholics has been filled b Father
Lombard, a very active and ambitious man,
who was great power over King Mwanga, and
w ho was that ruler's teacher when he was in
exile.
Ifow comes the news that the Catholic party
have not waited for the answer which the agent
of the British East African Company was ex
pected to bring from Zanzibar. They have set
tled their dispute by the suppression of the
weaker nartt. The Catholics are in the as
cendancy: U.e Protestants have now no stand
ins in the Government, and while Endand re
gards herself as the sole European power in
terested in me countrv. the dominant power
has declared that they will have nothing to do
with British protection, and that they will wel
come only the French
There is much anxiety in the Church Mis
sionary Society as m the effect of this condi
tion of tlnnrs upon missionary interests, and at
the office of the British East African Company
here it is feared that the pacification of the
countrv and its subjection to Briti-h authority
trill be a work involving large expense and
trouble.

Dublin, March 1L Timothy Harring

concerning his public rererence to a letter
written by the Irish bishops to Parnell be
fore the O'Shea trial, and explains that the
letter has been in his possession since his re

some of the Irish prelates render it neces

Harrington further says that when Dillon
and O'Brien started for America the bishops
forwarded to Parnell a complaint against
them, and invoked him to exercise his
authority. The letter is as follows:
NO. 4 KUTLANB SQTMKE,
October Jo. S
At a general meeting of the bishops held
here to-day some public questions of great
importance in their bearings on religious
interests were under consideration. I am asked
to convey to you the conclusions arrived at by
the meetinc on two of these questions. The
chief object for which the resolutions have
been aaopted is to maintain, and if pos
sible to strengthen the relations which
have hitherto generally existed with
such happy results between the
clergy and the Irish National Parliamentary
party and to remove the causes of xnlsuder
standing, which must surely be most painful
both to the clerey and laity, and micht prove
ruinous to your political urospect. Iho
bishops have much confidence in your
prudence and foresight, and hope that your in
fluence and authority with the party will re
mnvp tlm disnnietinn- ahnsa thev refer to be
fore they further attract public attention and
perhaps lead to a disastrous opposition and
division in the national ranks.
The matters to which the bishops request
your attention art: First, the Independent
action of individual members of the partv,
originating and sustaining movements involv
ing the gravest consequences, political, social
and moral, without the sanction of the party as
such, ilanifestly. this sanction should in all
acts of importance be sought and obtained, it
the priests and the peonle are invited to cive
their co-operation. The bishops feel the time
has come to declare that they cannot in f uture
sanction the cooperation of the clerey In pro
ceedings taken under individual responsibility.
Secondly, the want of supervision in matters
of the gravest importance over Untied Ireland,
The paper is regarded as the organ of the
National party, and for that reason the clerey
who co operate actively with the party are by
many held responsible for its editorial com
ments and even for its vituperative attacks on
individuals. Michael Logue,

THE
TOBNADO OF FLAME.
Continued from First Page.
There was a general falling back of
firemen and policemen ana then
down it came with a crash completely covering
the place where engine No. 2 had stood. The
flagstaff, with Its brazen ball at the top, with
stood for a long time the flames that seethed
about looking like a rod of flamo as it really
was.
S. W. Ache's harness store across Diamond
street from tho People's Bank began to smoke
from tbe heat, but did not Ignite. The bricks
under the roof at tbe comer, however, became
loosened by the heat and water and several of
them fell to the pavement, barelv missing the
heads of a number of men standing just be
neath. It was but a minute after the fire broke out
aud in that time the entire Weldln bulling was
in flames, before linemen began to cut the
wires at Wood and Diamond. On the north
east corner there is a pole on which are strung
electric light, telephone and telegraph wires.
It was feared that the fire would cross Wood
street, and in order to have a fair show at the
opposite bnildings tbe most of tbe wires were
severed. The electric light current had been
tnrned off. butthe people standing abont didn't
know it, and as the wires began to fall the
vicinity of this particnlar pole was soon cleared
of spectators.
Two linemen were on tbe cross
bars for lullylS minntesstnd bow they stood
tbe terrible heat was a wonder to those who
watched them at their work. The big electric
light that hangs in the middle of Wood street
was lowered and removed ont of the wav of the
firemen, but even the cut wires tangled in the
street were a hindrance to the workers.
THEY BID GOOD WOBK
The Police Handled the Crowds in a Skillful
Manner.
The police regulations were probably the
best that has marked any of the large fires in
recent years. There were yet large crowds of
people on the streets when the fire
broko out. and before ten minutes had
expired from the time the alarm
was sent in Diamond and Wood streets were
packed full. Cantalns Silvis, Unterbaum and
Mercer assisted Inspector McAleese and As
sistant Superintendent of Police O'.Mara to put
ropes across the streets and drive the crowds
back.
The lights had to be cut off from the entire
lower portion of the citv. and an excellent op
portunity was given to those who were in
clined to commit robberies. To guard against
anything of this kind the police authorities
placed an extra force of men along Fourth and
Fifth avennes and Diamond aud Wood streets.
There was only one attempt it robbery reported
A man was discovered trying to get Into a rear

A MAGNIFICENT WBECK.
Lee & Mason Contemplates the Ruins and
Plans a Trip.
Mr. Lee S. Mason, of J E. Weldin A Co., was
seen last night at the fire. He stated that his
insurance was between 63,000 and 66,000. but
was unable to say in what companies. ''Just
look at that magnificent wreck," he said.
"Well, I am about ready to give up. I think I
will take a trip to-morrow or tbe next day and
take a rest."
On being asked where be would go, he re
plied: "To the East, to Atlantic City, anywhere

President Charles Meyran. of tbe Germanla
Bank, was seen after it became known that
their bnildine could not be saved. He said it
had been erected in 1571, at a cost of S70.000.and
that they bad 160,000 insurance on the build
ing, and he thinks this will cover the loss.
The bank will not lose anything on rent.
They have nearly 10 tenants in all, and they
carry a "rent Insurance" which insures them
the rent while the building is beine repaired.
The vaults in tbe banks are intact, and tbe
money will be sa'e. Mr. Meyran stated posl
ti 'ely that tbe bank would be open for business
this morninc somewhere, and that work on re
bnildinc will be commenced at once. The
building used as tbe Sun office will probably be
used until another place can be found.
PBEPABED TO MOVE OUT.
Brokers and Others for Squares Around
Gathered Up Their Valuables.
Soon after the flames gained control of the
Weldin bnildine, tbe business men for three
blocks around were notified by the messenger
company to look after their effects. Tbe alarm!
was responded to at once, and in iO minutes
lights appeared in dozens of offices, and clerks
horned to and fro preparing to move out if
necessary.
As far away as Fourth avenue, above Wood
street, tbe insurance men, brokers and real
estate men had their valuables packed ready
to move at a moment's notice. The idea
gained circulation that the fire was entirely be
yon a control, aud was liable to sweep away the
entire center of the city.

Colonel Andrew Stewart, of Ohio Pyle.was

thing as the Weldln building burn
so rapidly. When he saw tho fire be started
on a brisk walk down Diamond alley, hut be
bad gone but a short distance when the flames
shot through the structure and were pouring
from the roof.
The Colonel said tbe light stock of books and
stationery fed the fire like kerosene, and in re
markably quick time tbe goods had disap

SIGNS OF THE C01I1NG MILLENNIUM
rgPZCtAI. TKLKOIUX TO THE DtSPATCH.t
Axnapolis, Md., March 11. Repre
sentative Jerry Simpson, better known as
the sockless statesman from Kansas, created
a sensation this aflernoou among tbe Mary
land farmers, now in convention at the
State House, when he interrupted the pro
ceedings for the purpose of denying tbe
statement that he did not wear half hose.
The explanation was precipitated by a re
porter who, during the recess called at tbe
Maryland Hotel, where Simpson was stop
ping, and sent him a note in which he re
quested the farmer Congressman to affirm or
deny the report so often published regard
ing his footwear. The note wound up:
"Do you wear socks?" After waiting some
time lor the answer the reporter went back
to the convention, which had just been
called to order, when Mr. Simpson, hitless
and with his overooat over his arm, rushed
into the hall and demanded immediate
recognition.
A Question of Personal Privilege.
He then handed to the Secretary the
Bote
leftfor him at the hotel. There was a quiet
smile on every farmer's face when the Secre
tary finished reading, aud all eyes were
turned expectantly on Mr. Simpson, Who,
tossing his coat to one side, faced thejeon
vention and spoke as follows: "Mr. Presi
dent, this letter refers to myself, and I
wish it read to this audience aud then to
make a personal explanation. It has been
alleged that a certain time in Kansas I had
said that the poverty of tbe farmers wis so
great that they could "not aftord to wear sicks,
and that I was a living example, so facas 1
am concerned there is no truth in tbe s ory.
The statement originated from tbe brain of a
Republican editor in Kansas.
".My constituents knew all about me, xnd I
took no occasion to deny tbe am. It is.tr a 3
that owing to the high tariff some of the farm
ers could not afford to wear socks, and we vere
in tbe same position as was NaDoleon daring
the time he attempted to cross the frontier to
attack tbe Austrian army. He was without
arms, and when asked where he thought be
could get them saiu: 'Take them from) the
Austrians.' Tbe man wbo was against mo was
a representative of
The Sllk-Stocklng Aristocracy,
betier known as Prince Hal. At tbe time of
the election I toldmy people that I expected to
get tbo other fellow's socks and not only did I
get them, but I got his shoes as well. I want to
say that 1 do wear socks and I put tbem on af
ter the defeat of Ingalls, which I believe to be
the beginning of an era that marked the time
when tbe humblest veople can wear socks and
the people who snstain the Government, which
are my constituents, sbould wear the very best.
1 deem it necessary to explain to tbe people of
Maryland the vexed question of socks. Just
now I am unable to determine which has given
me a greater reputation, my feet or my bead."
This speech was greeted with tumultuous ap
plause, after which the business of the conven
tion went on as before.

GEKEEAL SPOUTING NEWS OP THE DAI
The dog show was continued in tbe Grand
Central Rink yesterday, and it was patron
ized in a way that even surprised the most
sanguine member of the club that is pro
moting it. From the hour in which the rink
door was opened until 10 o'clock last even
ing the building was densely crowded by
ladies, gentlemen and children. And
everybody seemed highly delighted at what
there was to see.
Everything passed off admirably, and the
judees got through their vrork amid general
satisfaction. There was a great disappointment
in tbe Irish setter class, as the famous Dick
Sniveler was ruled one on account of disease.
Zona, the English setter bitch, was also dis
qualified for the same canse. This was quite
unexpected. Rut notwithstanding these little
drawbacks tbe show was a huge success: in fact,
so successful was it that another show even on
a larger scale than the present is assured.
The terriers were to the front yesterday, and
well did they show up. AH classes of them are
represented by macniflcent specimens, and tbe
judges had some very close arguments to de
cide. Many people were surprised to tee Cupid,
the New York Italian greyhound, defeated by
Lewis Spring. The latter is owned by Joe
Lewis, tbe local dog trainer, and is a beauty.
Mr. Hacke's Barzois dogs got first and second,
and they were a popular source of attraction.
Altogether local dog owners came in for a
good share of bine ribbons. It was also a
feature of Interest to find that in the special
for the best pointer Pontlac defeated both
Tribulation and Revel. J. A. Logan's lox ter
riers were also very successful, and were far
ahead or their ooponents. The show will con
tinue to-day and to-morrow. Following are

lord Lonsdale's Opponent Didn't Appear
for the Great Driving Contest.
LonDOjr, March 11. When Lord Shrewsbury,
annoyed at tbe receipt of a telegram from
Lord Lonsdale upbraiding him for failing to ap
pear for tbe novel driving matcb about which
so much has been said, witbdiew entirely from
tbe contest. Lord Lonsdale decided to drive
over the course alone. Ho did so to-day and
covered the 20 miles In 56 minutes 55 4-5 seconds.
The stakes which had been forfeited by Lord
Shrewsbury's withdrawal from tbe matcb. bad
been previously handed over to charitable in
stitutions by Lord Lonsdale.
Tbe conditions of tbe match it will be remem
bered were tbat the lords sbould drive one
horse each for five miles: two horse each for
tbe next five miles; fonr horses each for the
third five miles, and finally rids and drive two
horses eacb in harness, postillion fashion, for
tbe last five ml!e of the 20 miles course. Lord
Lonsdale covered tbe first half of tbe course in
25 minutes. He lost 20 seconds owing to the
fact that tbe road was blocked with snow. At
the finish, which was accomplished in splendid
style. Lord Lonsdale received an ovation from
bis friends and from tbe crowds of people wbo
had gathered to see him accomplish bis novel
feat.
The match which has had so unfortunate an
ending bad its origin in a decision as to the
relative merits of American trotters of which
Lord Lonsdale bad a pair, and English gallop
ing horses. Both noblemen later on bought
new teams of galloping horses, and each spent
a sum of about 5.000 lor tbe pleasure of win
nine stakes which were 100. The Earl of
Lonsdale used an American buggy in bis now
memorable race against time.
