SECRET SOCIETIES.
The Freemasons and Other Orders Denounced
by the Pope.

NEW YORK, April ia cable special to
the Herald from Rome says: In an encycli-
cal letter Of the Pope, to be published next
week, Leo XIII lays especial stress upon
Freemasonry, and the means tn be employed
to defend the "city Of God" from the "city Of
Satan" The following il resume of the
letter: The plan Of secret societies IL no lon
ger mystery. 1t is = struggle sgaints tn,
Church, and the various Popes have very
properly accommodated Freemasons.
During the last $50 years secret societies
have increased frightfully. A grave peril
thus threatens society. The socialist has .
source of strength In Masonry. The Papacy
Is placed In an intolerable situation. Ma
sonry does not avow Its real object; It de-
ceives the innocent by avarnish of federation.
The press, marriage, educstion, sovereignty
Of the people, atheism Of the State, radical
ism, communism-all tend toward . return
to paganism. Masonry fattes princes In
the hope Of having them for auxiliaries. The
should choose between Ma
sonry and the Church, which latter sustains
authority and inculcates obedience. The
Pope thus prescribes to Bishops their duties:
pastoral laws unmssk secret soci-
cites and make people abhor them; second
extend Christian education; third-urge az.
riculturists and workingmen to organize
Catholic associations and conferences Of St.
Vincent de Paul; fourth-watch schools and
sIhort the youth never to become members
81 any society without first consulting their
priests. The Pope ends his encyclical letter
BY imploring the aid of the blessed Virgin.
The new North-west. [volume] (Deer Lodge, Mont.) 1869-1897, 1884-04-25

Pope LEO, according to the kilograms, has
issued q remarkable encyclical letter against
secret societies, especially Free Masonry.
One of his predecessors issued q like edict
against comet, but the long haired celestial
wanderer moved on In his appointed course
as though 1t had not been. No Papal edict
can suppress Masonry, although 1t may re-
tard, Is 1t has hitherto retarded, very many
Roman Catholics from joining the Order. 1t
Is not surprising that the Pspal authorities
are hostile to Masonry and other secret So
cieties. The Pope demands supreme allegi-
ance to the church and the secrets of every
mans heart. Masonry denies the demands
Of the confessional and hence the conflict.
But to allege that Masonry nourishes social
ism Is alleging that which Is not true. No
|, niger identified with the Order, we can
speak of 1t more intelligently and disinter-
estedly than Pope Leo, and we assert that
Man and established Government has no
frmer, more devoted friend and defender
than Masonry. Every principle it inculcates
teaches the Fstherhood of God, the Brother
hood of Man and obedience to the powers
that be. 1t looks rather that the Pope is en-
to strike other secret societies In
Europe over the shoulders of Masonry and In
doing so could not resist the opportunity to
deal blow at an Order that has been great
thorn in the side of his prede-
But when 1t Is considered that, if
the telegram is correct, the Pope includes
"the press, marriage, education, and sover-
eighty Of the people" as "tendlng toward =
return to paganism," Masonry need not feel
agrieved that it has been singled out as head
and front Of the offending. The 'intolera-
BILE situation" of the Papscy will not be bet
tered in America by this encyclical letter, If
II Is as outlined, and its text will be looked
for with unusual interest.

EARTHQUAKE IN ENGLAND.
The Tight Little Isle Considerably Shaken Up

The Tight Little Isle Considerably Shaken Up.
LONDON, April 22.-At $50 this morning
an earthquake shock of considerable force
was felt In the eastern counties Of Engl and
Localities In Essex and Suffolk were the
scenes Of the greatest disturbance, aud at
Ipswich the shock was so severe that the
walls Of houses were perceptibly shaken,
plates were ratified and bells rung. The
shock was still more severe at Colchester.
The conclusion lasted half q minute. The
irst symptom was a deep rumbling sound,
portentous and awe-inspiring, followed BY
quakiDg and shaking Of all buildings.
Church bells sounded as though swaying by
unseen hands, tall chimney stacks of facto-
ries crashed to the earth, and other lofty
structures were destroyed. The spire of one
Of the largest churches in the city, $50 feet
high, fell with an awful crash to the ground.
1t is impossible to estimate the amount of
damage, but 1t is known to be great. In pri-
vste houses great confusion prevailed. Peo-
pie were terror stricken. Men, women and
children rushed shrieking into the streets,
where their agonized cries and pale faces
made . most impressive scene.

PERILOuS DAYS.
Sailing Two Hundred and Fifty Miles with
the Ship on ERE.

BERMUDA, April 21.-The French steamer
Marseilles, from New Orleans bound to
Bordeaux, was discov cred to be on fire three
days after leaving New Orleans. A terrific
gale was blowing at the time. The matches
were opened out and so bales Of cotton jet
tisoned, but the heat was so intense that the
crew and passengers, though working with
the energy Of men anxious to save their
lives, had to abandon operations, not, how
ever, before several cases Of asphyxia had oc-
Cured. The matches were then battened
down and 1t was decided TO sail for Bsrmu-
da, $50 miles distant. On arriving there,
with the assistance of the naval authorities,
the fire wa, finally eItinguished. Had the
deck Of tho vessel been entirely Of wood
nothing could have saved the ship.

Irish National LEAGUE,

DUBLIN, April 1S.-At Q convention of
the Irish National League, held at Kilkenny
to-day, resolutions were adopted reafirming
allegiance to Parnell and promises made to
subscribe to the proposed fund for the pay of
members of Parliament. There are rumors
Of the early retirement Of Parnell from the
leadership of the Irish Nationalist party.
Two reasons for this are assigned. One that
he is tired Of Parliamentary life, and the
other that the party Is wearied Of him. His
retirement Is obstructed, however, by his re-.
cent acceptance of forty thousand pounds of
the peoples money.

Another Fight in Tonquin.

PARIS, April 1S.-A telegram from Gen.
Millot, comma nder Of the French forces In
Tonquin, dated Hanoi, April 10th, says !:
The enemy has again been encountered not
far from Hung Hoa and completely routed.
After the engagement we destroyed the cita-
dels of the Shulam where the leaders of the
Black Flags had taken refuge. Our forces
are now following the right bank of the river
Deal with the object of threatening the enc.
my in the south and obtaining re dress for the
massacre Of missionaries. The Black Flags
have withdrawn to northern Tonquin. The
remnants of the eerrisons Of Bachinh and
Hung Hoa, and Chinese and Annamltes to
the number of 500 have retreated to Thanh
Hoa. Gen. Delisle Is going to NanhbIn to
watch them. In the capture Of Phulam

THE French campaign In Tonquin has
been brought to close by the destruction Of
Hung Hoa. The garrison did not attempt TO
defend this stronghold, but retreated In dis
order, setting fire TO the town. The European
invaders are now In undisputed possession
Of the delta and the lower section Of the Red
River, and are securely entrenched at Bac-
Mini, on the land frontier Of China. The
delta itself Ia not valuable conquest, and Is
a. unhealthy region a. the Saigon valley,
where the French troops are constantly ex-
posed to malarial fevers. Beyond sontay
and Hung Hoa are uplands abounding In
timber and mineral wealth. The river trade
has been at the mercy Of pirates, who either
levied high tolls for the privilege Of transit
or conhscated the goods outright. The
opening Of regular trade routes along the
river TO the Chinese frontier and then be-
You'd II to the centre OF Yunnan may render
the new conquest fai more valuable than
Cochin China has proved. This will be the
Interior purpose Of the negotiations upon
which the French Government has already
entered. A protectorate Is proposed, and
vague threats are made OF future demands
for an indemnity and the seizure OF the lei.

Stage Of the diplomatic campaign NJ. Ferry
offered TO establish zone Of neutral terrific
ny between the Chinese and French from.
iiers, but stipulated that the town Of Man Hao
In Yunnan should be opened TO foreign trade.
From this position he will not be likely to
recede 10 the hour OF triumph. The Open
Ing Of trade with Western China will be the
French ultimatun. To support this demand

coast, but the permanent occupation ofeither
