■ 'i'ALES of french masons. jKvj to Prohibit Interforor.ca in Wf Politics.

Of course 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. the Secretary of the Interior at Wash- or the Secretary of the Home De ■tm< nf in London were to address any jH), official communication to the Grand s either of American or British Froe- Hu.ns it would be received with blank for the lodges in Great Britain Hi the United States have no more idea of ■erfering in politics than the man in the Him.

K- clericalism, voila Venemi" is the of almost every lodge ill the ■mtry. M. Colfavru also pointed out 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 Bi’itajp proclaiming the separation of Bench from British Masonry and forbid- Hg English craftsmen to visit French 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, recently published memoirs of M. the famous chief of the detective ;>o- Hi. the author asserts that frequently the police were on the track of crimi ■k a delegate from the Grand Master of ■tvmasons has presented himself in the Hivute office of the Judge d’lnstrnction to the matter was confided, and, hav- 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- Hg convicted. It is said to be in large Krt owing to this influence that ■ steps have ever been taken to prose- Hs< the late Minister of Finance, B. Tirard, who when in office was ■airman of the gold mining company Blw'h possessed neither mines nor gold, and ■as shown to have issued $500,000 worth of B>rk after the directors had been informed flt a board meeting that there was absolutely B assets. Other cases of this character 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 ach complaints, but there was a formidable ol>staolo to diagnosis in the patient lieing born deaf. “What do you have for dinner r roared Sir William into bis right lug. ‘ 'Oh, no!” was the reply, “plenty of that—two miles regularly after breakfast, and two more before dinner.” “Hoiv long do you lie nlied of morningf’ “Well, doctor, I shall l>e fit) this Jay throe weeks.” Without fur ther parley the doctor gave him some sim ple prescription, the form and manuscript of which he seemed much to admire for a little, 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 cure deafness f” Sir William bowed, shook his head, and made his lips express “No.” “I thought so!” You have been very kind to me. Therefore I make you welcome to this prescription,” which he pulled from his pocket, adding, “It cured mel" 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. Weeds multiply very rapidly.
