can Masons-Tne Irish Land Pur-
chase Bill - other Foreign News.

versary Of Prince Bismarck's birth. The
Prince received 5000 citizens Of Hamburg at
Friedrichsruhe yesterday afternoon. Last
night there was torchlight procession in
honor Of the ex-Chancellor, HOO torch-bear-
ers being in line. Bismarck prefaced his
speech to the Hamburgers in the afternoon
with, "Are you really all from Hamburg?"
Receiving an affirmative reply. he contin-
ued: "When one has been minister -presi-
dent for % years, one makes yearly in
creasing number of enemies. / am more
than surprised to see so many friends. 1t Is
highly gratifying to be the recipient Of so
many testimonials Of esteem from all parts
of Germany, even from those so difficult to
please In Berlin. That proves, on the whole
that behaved myself"
DIR. Nolte, In reply, thanked the Prince for
all he had done for the development and
honor of Germany. He said that for all
time the name of Bismarck would be bound
up with that Of the German empire, and he
trusted the Prince would be spared for many
years to be a blessing to the Fatherland.
Thunders of applause followed DR.. Nolte's
remarks.
Prince Bismarck returned thanks for his
visitors expressions Of regard, and said he
hoped now to be able often to visit Hamburg.

ANcLo-AMERIcAN MAsoNs.
A Royal Arch Chapter Established In
tina CItv of 4 ondor

LONDON, April 1.-The remarkable sue
cess which has attended the Anglo-Ameri-
can Lodge of Free Masons during its short
career of nearly three years has prompted
desire to have a Royal Arch Chapter at
tached, in which the duties of Arch Mason
ry could be carried out. and where American
and English Masons who have attained this
degree could fraternize, as in the parent
lodge. This was carried into effect last eve
ming at the Holborn restaurant, in the pres
ence of many distinguished American and
English MasOns. The conservation ceremO-
ny was performed by Mr.. Frank Richardson,
the Grand Deacon Of the Chapter. Among
the numerous MasOns present were Mr.. j. G.
New, Consul General U. 5. A; Major Frig-
out, Deputy Consul General, and Mr.. Brank-
stone Baker. The impressive ceremony was
beautifully rendered, an eloquent Grafton
being delivered by Rev. r. j. Simpson, In
the course of which he alluded to the frater-
nal feelings existing between the two cOun-
tries, and which he trusted would long con-
tinue. The c0nsecrating officers, Consul
General j. @. New. and Col Shadwell I'll.
Clarke were elected honorary members, Gen.
New being warmly welcomed as the success
or to Consul General Waller, who was
highly esteemed member and took an active
part In the lodge. Numerous distinguished
Masons were proposed as members, ard the
Chapter was closed In the ancient and sol
emn form.

to continue to meet as formerly, at the old
town house, the vote standing Wilson, John
son, Blake and Crocker in favor, and Dyer,
Clark and Lane against. Thus the first op-
portunity to please the great mass OF voters
has been refused. 1t Is also understood that
the selectmen, by the same div sion. propose
after the vote on annexation, to divide the
road money Of the town up into seven dis
tricts, and appoiEt selectman boss Of each
district, thus perpetuating practice that Is
perniclous from every point Of view, and has
led to the waste of thousands of dollars OF
the taxpayers hard earned money during
the past five years. Colonel Adams, In the
Argus few days ago, made a pathetic plea
departure. IL the beginning, thus outlined,
Is to be carried on as now seems to be the
design, the ending will be more mortifying
than any of the last five preceding years.
Why wait for another experiment and
more waste Of money?

MILWAUKEE,. April: 1.-The election in
this city today excited an unusual interest.
The Bennett law, enacted by the last legis-
lature, requiring the teaching Of English In
all the schools. private and parochlal,as we'll
as public. was made an issue. The Republl-
cans defended the law and the Democrats
were pledged to its repeal. The polls did not
close until 6.30 The indications from the
returns thus far received are that George w.
Peck (Dem.) Is elected mayor. Many Dem-
Ocrats denounced the position OF their party
on the educational law, but voted for their
party candidates on the ground that the law
was not an issue In municipal contests. The
Lutheran and Catholic clergy were very ac-
tive In supporting the Democratic candidates
pledged to the repeal Of the law.
