INTERVIEWS WITH THE LEADERS

THE PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE.
Last evening a reporter OF the HERALD called at tho
residence OF the President OF the Senate of O. A o. g.
Mr. George D. Weeks, whose name was emblazoned be-
fore the world in these columns OF yesterday. Mr.
Weeks lives at No. 1853 Washington avenue He is
about thirty. eight years aga For many years past
since the termination Of the war; he has been promn-
ent in republican local politics. and few better
known in the vicinity Of the City Hall than "Georgie
Weeks as the politicians famiiariy call him. Up TO
last May Mr. Weeks occupied the position Of superin-
tendent Of the Supply Department OF tho City Works
He said referring 20 the article published In the
HERALD -sThere is much IL that true and great
deal that devoid Of truth; but would rather

and from my personal knowledge as an officer OF the
Order that neither President Grant Speaker Blaine

any members oftho Cabinet Of the United States

"Coud they not be members without your knowledge
mo. sir; whenever persons are initiated outside the
order, they are called members at large. There arc
only four or I've officers In the United States who have
the power 10 initiate outside members, that Is those
who are admitted away from the lodge These officers

He did not think so, however. II was his belief that
this question OF the Bible only the very beginning
OF what would be demanded by the Church Of Rome,
and he therefore believed that this rst attempt a
croachment should be met and defeated
On being shown the HERALD account OF the oath and
charge belonging the initiation Of members into tho
Order he said that both were incorrect. Everything
stated the oath and in the charge which expressed
opposition the Catholic Church and to Catholics,
