I Paris letter to the New York Times
Considerable feeling exists at the
Bftait moment among the Freemasons of
H lce gainst the President or Grand Mas-
Hpf the Grand Orient, M. Colfavru, and
■ s are on foot for liis possible dejjosition.
of this feeling lies in an official
to the Grand Master from
the Minister of the Interior,
■ug him to keep an eye on the various
H cs and to issue orders pro-
them from meddling with
longer, the same being by M.
embodied at once in a circular
Bing date March 38 and transmitted to
jHfiltv-five masters of the lodges at Paris.
■ document caused a vast amount of in-
which culminated in the Master
lodge, (one of tho most impor
in Paris) taking the initiative and
a special meeting of the fifty-
or Masters in order todis-
K not only the objectionable circular, but
iK the attitude to be assumed by the lodges

W as an act of direst defiance
M. Colfavru, and the latter,
himself of the e v olute powers
to him as Grand Master of the
■ nc l Orient of France, last no time in
the most positive commands pro
mpting any member of the craft from at-
the meeting. Mindful of their
H- s oi obedience, tho “Veneraliles” obeyed,
the meeting did not take place; but the
of the Grand Master and the gov-
has aroused much indignation,
on the subject is a ory otrong, not
i n Paris, but in the provinces, and
tlie fact is taken into consideration
more than half the members of tho
of Deputies are Freemasons, a
TC S of some importance may be con-
imminent.

K- clericalism, voila Venemi" is the
of almost every lodge ill the

ijp the recent speech that Masonry was
Hiuii,; formidable opponent of monarchy,
had contributed more than anything
K to bring about the overthrow of the em
■y and the establishment of the republic,
■fact, French Masonry might be called a
advanced radical institution, and
1 vears ago much talk was caused by the
Hie of an edict from the Grand Lodge of

After having been a considerable
in the creation of the present form of
Hrernment, French Masons do not un-
why they should suddenly
arbitrarily be debarred from
further participation in poli-
Ht; and they are not likely to sur-
the power which they have obtained
Htliout a struggle. Goverment officials in
large numbers in France, and espe-
Hilv prominent politicians, are Freemasons,

named his master, has induced the mag-
to throw the compromising docu
ments into the fire, so as to prevent any
■eminent Masonic dignitary from be-

Krt owing to this influence that

flt a board meeting that there was absolutely

Bulb be nanus 1 to show the immense power
Bf Masons in France. Gamlietta, Ferry and
Banv other Republican statesmen have
Bred much to Masonry, and as stated above
B~ majority of the Chamber of Deputies
Belong to the craft. It is somewhat curious
Bat M. Colfavru, the President of the
Brand Orient of France, is a more salaried
Bnployein the railway department of Baron
Blphonse de Rothschild’s office. The post
Bliieli he holds is that of Inspector General
Bf the Northern railway, for which he re-
Bives $20,000 per anuum. Besides this M.
Bolfavru is on the Board of Directors of the
Banama canal enterprise.
I A curious book has recently been pub-
Bked at Paris by M. Leo Taxil, who formerly
Belli a high grade in Masonry, but who has
B"'v forsaken the craft, owing to reasons of
B political nature. The work gives a de-
Baied description of the constitution, rulos
Bub rites of French Masonry, and it is cer-
Bainly interesting, whatever be the facts.
Brnin the account of the initiation ceremo-
Bio at the lodge of the Grand Orient of
■Vance one learns that there is a considera
ble amount of clap trap connected with it
Bhich appears incredible and contemptible
po an American or British member of the
■fraternity. “The postulant,” says this au-
B°r, “alter being conducted through a
■abyrinth of passage*, is filially shut up ill
B narrow little closet and is ordered to draw
P*P his last will and testament. The walls
|of the ceil are black and adorned with
■Skeletons, death’s-heads and cross-bones.
■There is no window, and a gaslight gives a
Pirn light. The furniture consists of a table
■and a stool. On the former are placed a
■Gull and cross-bones. Suddenly the gas
■hght is extinguished, and a sliding panel
opening in the wall reveals a cavern lighted
with sepulchral lamps. A decapitated head
‘)‘ng on blood-stained napkins meets the
faze, and a voice sounding from the wall
•gainst which tho candidate leans excluims
in awe-inspiring tones that the head is that
of a perjured brother who had disclosed
the secrets of the order. The means
employed for this trick are very sim
ple- The block on which the head
Appears to rest .is hollow and conceals
the body of the performer, who holds his
eves shut and his mouth slightly open. Tho
sepulchral lamps aiv tho result of camphor
ated spirits' mingled with coarse salt, which,
burning with a greenish light, give a cada
verous appearance to the head. The awful
tones of the voice are obtained by talking
flown a speaking tube. Some of tne panels
■a the wall are of ground glass behind
which a magic lantern is introduced,showing
moving spectres gradually increasing in
wze and apparently starting forward to de
vour the postulant, or masked men of lifo
*>ze who appear to be stabbing an individual
hound hand and foot with cords.
At, length, when tho opening ceremonies
are terminated, tho Master directs that the
postulant be summoned. The latter before
leaving his cell is stripped of every vestige
oi clothing, a cord is tied round his waist,
“Hu a mask put over his face so as to blind
ioiu, him completely. Thus attired, he is
conducted to the door of tho hall where the
auge is in session, after knocking three
miles is admitted and placed between two
pillars at one end of tho room, the point of
sword being held so as to slightly prick his
oreast. After a loug kind of catechism lias
own gone through with, and tho postulant
expressed his readiness to submit to the
•cm Jo trials to which he is about to be ex
{i,"T : bar President gives an order to plunge
an into into the cavern. Immediately
no? m , usc ular brethren seize him and
.v . , m backward into a frame
by several sheets of stout
{a . ’ I ,fi ld in an inclined position.
. ‘/'’ ur .*>tke paper gives away and the can
falls at full length on a mattress
nw!!Tiu ,n °thcr side. At the same mo
■nt the door is bungod to, and an iron ring
Mu and down a notched irou bar
makes a sound as of an enormous lock boing
turned several times. The candidate is then
subjected to a further catechism, sitting
between the two pillars on a stool bristling
with nails and resting on uneven feet. 'While
in the act of taking tho oaths tho ‘cup of
oaths,’ fatal to perjurers, is handed to him.
The cup is divided into two compartments,
which turns on a pivot. The one contains
water, the other an exceedingly bitter con
coction. At the moment when ho commences
the formula of the oath he is given some of
the water to taste, and at the words ‘if ever
I break my oath’ the upper part of the cup
is turned imperceptibly round so that the
bitter drink is brought to his lips.
“He is then started off on what is called
the first journey, which is a weary peram
bulation of the lodge from east to west v va
ried by a series of childish farces. First the
candidate is made to walk very slowly, and
then he is dragged along hurriedly. Sud
denly he is stopped and told to duck his head
because of a vault, and then ho is warned
that there are obstacles to be crossed, and is
made to jump. Next he is told that there
are steps to be mounted, and that he must
lift his right foot, and as there is nothing of
the kind he naturally stumbles. He is taken
along planks on rollers which give wa'y be
neath him. He is forced to climb other planks
like seesaws, which suddenly throw' him into
sfiace. But the most absurd trial is that of
the endless ladder. It is like a treadmill,
up which the candidates climbs wearily,
like a squirrel in a cage, without ever get
ting any further. One of the brethren,
seated quietly at his side, holds his hand,
drops it, and nudges his arm, as though he
were following him, thus completing the
illusion. When the candidate is thoroughly
exhausted a small platform is fitted to the
top of the steps, which" he at length is
allowed to reach. A number of brethren
surround him waving large fans, and a
voice exclaims: ‘We are now 1,500 feet
above the sea. Throw yourself into space.’
While the unfortunate victim hesitates he
is pushed from behind and fails a distance
of about six feet onto a mattress.
“Meanwhile noises such as thunder, hail,
wind, etc., are produced by machines with
which the lodge is provided for the pur
. poses and the din is increased by frightful
shrieking, howling and crying on all sides.
Finally tne disheveled and perspiring can
didate is dragged to the West Post, where
he receives a strong shock from a gal
vanic battery, while at the same timo one of
the brethren strikes him violently on the
chest with bis mallet. After being ques
tioned as to his readiness to shed his blood
in defense of the order, his arm is pricked
with a lancet, a few drops of tepid water
from a narrow-necked bottlo fall on to the
patient’s flesh, and the remainder is poured
noisily into a basin, so as to delude him into
the belief that his blood is flowing. The arm
is then bound up in a sling. The President
then asks him on which part of the
body he prefers to be branded with the
hieroglyphieal seal of the lodge. The ‘Ma
sonic seal’ trick is done in different ways.
The ritual of the Grand Orient of France
says that one of the brethren is to rub with
a dry rag the part indicated of the postu
lant’s body and then quickly apply a piece
of ice. But the usual way is to put the
warm end of a just-extinguished wax candle
or of a slightly heated wine glass on the
spot. Each one of these methods gives the
candidate the impression of having been
branded with a hot iron. The mask is then
removed from the postulant’s face, and the
President salutes him with the triple frater
nal kiss, first on the right cheek, then on
the left and lastly on the mouth. After this
the candidate is invested with his apron and
a pair of gloves.”
Tho remainder of the ceremonies are
similar to those customary in America and
English lodges, and need not be referred to
here. The above description is sufficient to
show the immense difference which exists
between the grand institution of Free
masonry in the United States or Great
Britain and that of France. The childish
and contemptible tricks practiced in the
French lodges are more worthy of figuring
in some farcical history than in the rites
and ceremonies of the greatest benevolent
institution in the world.
THE NEW MARINE WONDER.
A Steamship Built to Revolutionize
Ocean Travel.
From, Washington Letter to Chicago News.
There is under construction at the sleepy
old town of Alexandria a steamship which,
if it turns out to be a success, will revolu
tionize ocean travel. I went down to look
at the model the other day with Chief En
gineer Loring, of the navy, and other ex
perts, and thej' are not pleased with the plan.
They think the ship is going to be a failure,
but were very much interested in the de
sign, and will watch its progress with ab
sorbing interest. The leading man in the
enterprise is Robert M. Fryer, a brother-in
law of Secretary Manning, He designed
the vessel, got a patent for it last January,
and is furnishing a good share of the money
for its construction. Mr. Fryer is the man
who built the so-called “marine wonder”
several years ago, the ship that went on
wheels and could travel on land as well as
on water, of which so much was said in the
newspapers at the time. There was never
but one craft of that sort constructed, and
she now lies at Hastings-on-the-Hudson.
Mr. Fryer says that he never made the
claims for her that were represented in the
newspafiers, but did demonstrate by ber
construction that the principal he asserted
was true, that a vessel could be made which
would navigate on laud as well as on water,
for he took her across the land from the
Harlem river to the Hudson without loosen
ing a joint.
Mr. Fryer’s new enterprise is something
very different. He has designed a vessel
which lie claims cannot sink nor burn, that
will have a speed of twenty-five miles or
more an hour, and will cross the ocean in
five days. He hail organized a company,
sold $500,000 worth of stock, and lias eoine
to Alexandria to construct her, where the
keel is now being laid. She is to be 540 feet
long and 40 feet beam, 5,500 tons burden,
and have engines of 12,000 horse
power, with a capacity for devel
opment to 27,000 horse-power. Her
model is similar to that of the little “Sti
letto,” which can run as fast as n locomo
tive, and she is to be entirely fire-proof, no
wood being used in her construction except
for doom and the cabin trimming. All tne
floors will lie of marble and all partitions of
iron. She is to have over a thousand air
and water-tight compartments entirely sep
arate from each other, so that she cannot
sink. Tho vessel is not intended to carry
freight, but only passengers, mails, and
treasure, and the space usually given to
freight in the hold is occupied with
these air-tight compartments, made so small
that in case of a collision it would not be
possible to destroy them all unless the entire
boat is crushed. This vessel is intended to
be to ocean travel wliat the limited express
on the Pennsylvania railroad is to Irnd
travel, and, while its success must be a mat
ter of speculation till the experiment is fully
tried, I’m glad there is enterprise and cour
age enough to try it.
This is Old but Beautiful.
From the Pall Moll Gazette.
Sir William told us the following delicious
tale of simplr uumasouing faith in quacks:
An elderly man consulted him about stom

and then, offering his fee, he retired. But
at tho door ho turned round, and,
in the loud, rattling tones of one long
very deaf, called out. “Doctor, can you

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY. MAY 26. 1887.
AFRAID FOR HER CROWN.
Quoen Kapiolani Hears Some Bad News
from Hawaii.
From the New York Star.
Queen Kapiolani is excited. Her majesty
was busy yesterday pouring over a big
package of letters and papers received by
tho lost mail from Honolulu, and the news
contained in those missives is of such grave
import that the Queen is deeply moved. Tho
large official letters with the imperial seal
were read again and again by her majesty,
and the nervous manner, quickened breath
ing and flashing eyes plainly indicated that
the Queen of Hawaii was greatly aroused
over the latest startling intelligence from
the islands.
The Chinese are creating a disturbance in
Hawaii on account of the Chinese restriction
act and the opium prohibition law, and the
15,000 Celestials in the islands are loud in
their complaints about this legislation which
is injuring their interests. The powerful
Chinese empire will only wince when the
United Stab's enforces its restriction act,
hut when a tiny kingdom like Hawaii at
tempts to follow in the same path then the
ruler of the Flowery Kingdom desires to
know the reason why Chinamen are pre
vented from landing at Honolulu and wants
the answer quickly. There are many rich
Chinese merchants in Hawaii and they all
are engaged more or less in the trade in
opium and in immigration. There are thou
sands engaged i’.i the traffic, and their pros
perity is imperiled by these new-fangled
royal laws which affect tneir purses.
Mr. Yung Tang was recently convicted of
having opium iu iris possession at Honolulu,
and was fined SI,OOO and sentenced to im
prisonment for two year’s. He has appealed
to the Kanaka Supreme Court and the case
involves the constitutionality of the opium
law. The Chinese are so aroused over all
these matter’s that they have held secret
meetings on the islands and have decided to
come out in open insurrection against the
royal authority. They claim that the Ha
waiian government, while publicly pretend
ing to enforce the opiunr prohibitron law, is
secretly receiving large sums of money from
a favored few for opium licenses. One resi
dent of Oahu has made $78,000 within the
past year by reason of having secured a
private license or, rather, a nrqnuse that he
would not be molested in his opium traffic.
The Chinese laborers on the sugar planta
tions will pay almost any price tor their fa
vorite drug, but Chinese merchants are
prevented from dealing in it.
So great has become the discontent of the
Chinamen that they have recently caused to
be printed a large number of flaming post
ers, sotting forth that SIO,OOO reward is of
fered for the head of King Kalakua. Capt.
McCullough, of the brig Vf. G. Irwin, which
recent!v arrived at San Francisco direct
from the Hawaiian capital, stated that the
streets were filled with excited Chinamen
and the walls were covered with these blood
thirsty posters. Capt. Cousins, of the Con
sueio, who came in later, corroborates tho
statement, and adds that if the Chinese had
a leader of courage no doubt a terrible mas
sacre would occur. Sea captains in New
York who have been in the Honolulu trade
say that if the angry Chinese want the
King’s head there will be no hesitancy
about taking it, because the lawless element
almost all over the islands is very strong and
defiant.
The good Queen Kapiolani, thousands of
miles qway from home, is greatly distress e 1
over this startling intelligence.' It wculd
seem that the presence of Maj. Gen. JohnO.
Domini*, of the royal Hawaiian army, was
needed without delay in Honolulu. The
standing army of the kingdom is now 402
well-armed soldiers and 1)7 officers. The
general, however, says that he will not re
turn until the European trip is finished. He
takes the cool and courageous view of the
situation that the authorities in Hawaii are
able to suppress any outbreak among the
Chinese. But the tender-hearted Queen is
unable to conceal her fear for the safety of
her royal spouse at home. Gen. Donunis,
being a native of New York State, natu
rally looks on the bright side of things and
will calmly await further news from the
seat of the'disturbance. The open bribery
question, however, is assuming an import
ance in Honolulu which causes many Ha
waiians to fear an outbreak in the near fu
ture. In case of the death of King Kala
kaua, his sister, the Princes Liliuokalani,
would ascend the throne, as Queen Kapio
lani is only a queen by marriage and would
be retired. Of course, when her Highness
Liliuokalani assumes the reigns of govern
ment, then her husband, Gen. Dominis,
would become king. It is enough to make
one dizzy to think of the ex-Alderman of
the Third ward of Syracuse as wielding a
royal sceptre in the kingdom of Hawaii.
But this is not all which troubles the good
Queen. The Japanese nave been sending
over laborers until they have about 3,500 at
work on the rice and sugar plantations
Japanese never emigrated in considerable
number* to any other spot on the globe.
They area peculiar people, jealous, sensitive
and exclusive, and were only induced to go
to Hawaii by pledges from the Minister of.
Foreign Affuii-s that they should have pro
tection and be allowed to go home at the
close of their contract; but when they were
ready to return they found that they were
not allowed to go. They also claim that
their pay has not been according to the
terms, and that some of their men nave been
put into jail on frivolous charges. Anyhow,
they arc angry, very angry, and have ap>-
peaied to the Mikado for relief. As Japan
has several of tho most powerful armored
ships afloat it is feared that there is an omi
nous cloud hovering over the Hawaiian
horizon. The Portuguese are making a
howl, also. There are 15,000 of them on the
islamis, and every one of them looks like a
cutthroat of the most dangerous character.
They were imported under contract with an
ocean transportation company and are the
most desperate follows which King Luis I.
had in his dominions.
In addition to all these race troubles, the
native element and the English element and
a part of the American colony are in a state
of upheaval, and a very dangerous under
current of rebellion is gaining strength from
day to day. A reporter dropped into Con
sul General Allen’s office at No. 51 Izonard
street y*terday and tho first newspaper
handed' him was the Hawaiian, Gazette,
of the latest date. One issue contains these
sentiments:
“The Hawaiian Embassy at New’ Zealand
is bringing disgrace upon the islands. It is
high tune that an curl should le put to the
vagaries of tho present government and
that, Hawaii be placed on the plane she
ought to occupy. A gin-swilling and brilie
takiiig government ought to cease to repre
sent Hawaii before the world. There is no
political nor commercial necessity culling
for any expenditure for her majesty’s trip
abroad and it i< absolute robbery to expend
public funds on any such tour. We wonder
now the English boruUtulders will view 1 the
matter. The whole ministerial fabric will
tumble like a payk of cards one of these days
and tho King along with it.”
After listening to the reading of these
papers yesterday by Governor laukea tho
Queen "buried her head in her hands and
when she again looked up her eyes were
moist.
