THE OLDEST LIVING MASON IN TIE
WoRLD.-To the Editor of the Toronto
Globe: Sir,-I have noticed on several &C.
casions, in your paper, gentlemen claiming
to be the oldest Masons in Canada. Now,
sir, l think am in o position to convince
the public, apd especially Mssons, that St.
Johns Lodge, No. 6s, A. F. s. A. NJ. G.. r.
c., Ingersoll, Ontario, has q member who is
the oldest Mason in Canada, if not in the
world. His name is Mr.. Charles McKewen.
He was born in the year 1851; made q
Mason in Lodge 4O4, Ballenderry, county of
Antrim, Ireland, in the year 1776, conse-
quently he is ninety.three years Mason.
i had the pleasure Of visiting the old gen.
tleman o few days ago, and found him in
good health in fact, he told me his health
never was better in his life. His mind is
clear and memory good regarding the past,
especially as regards Masonic landmarks.
l think can fearlessly claim that ST..
Johns Lodge, 6S, has as a member " The
Oldest Living Mason" ]. 3. CRAWFORD.

Billy OF MINISTER AlOTLEY'S RE-
CEPTtON-CABlNET DISCUSSION.
LONDON, April 30.-Senator Summers
speech creates intense excitement in poll
tical circles here, and the subject has been
informally discussed st Cabinet meeting.
Mr.. Bright declared that the embarrass-
ment which its publication had produced
served England right but he agreed not
to consent to entertain the terms Of settle
ment foreshadoWed By Mr.. Sumner.
Lord Clarendon expressed the belief that
the actual negotiations on the subject in
progress between the two countries were OF
o far less extreme character than the
speeches Of American senators or articles
in the American press. The Administra-
ton was eager for the lasting continuance
Of friendly relations with the United States.
Mr.. Gladstone professed to have good as
surances frem reliable quarters that the
recent rejection Of the Alabama treaty by
the American Senate was purely q political
movement. The present Administration
will endeavor to settle the Alabama ques-
ton on liberal and honorable terms. &
The outside tone Of the English people is
anti-Americsn. and more SO in consequence
of having read only partial publication
of Senator Summers argument.
The London Star asserts that Mr. Sum-
ner's demands are new and startling, end
must be regarded merely as enormous, and
il only shadow Of these are given as in
ST. uctionS to Minister Motley that gentle
man will stand in very different position
from that occupied by Mr.. Reverdy john
son. 7aaGt ss s=raa
Minister Motley's rejection as American
Minister at the Court of St. James is threat
ened, in case his instructions nearly colu-
eide with the expressions of Senator Sum
ner. Such demands are declared utterly
untenable, and her Majesty's Ministers
must be careful in entertaining them.
The London Times breathes forth spirit
of war in defence of the Treasury, claim
ing that Mr.. Summers money estimate of
damages is portentous and enormous, and
adds that although his addresses worthy Of
attentive consideration, no contrition nor
humiliation should be expressed or endured
