The Prelate of Vancouver Isl.
and Returns From
Mexico.
THREE MoNTHs.oN HORSEBACK
His Grace Travelled Through Talisco
and Confirmed $4,000
Persons.

Bishop Lemmens of Vancouver Island is
in this City on his homeward journey from
Mexico after an absence of five months in
the southern Republic. He is a guest of
the Paulist Fathers in their residence at
st. Mary's Church on California street.
During his stay in Mexico Bishop Lem
mems went out of the beaten track, and
saw much that is new to other lands. AS
a result of his careful observation of
Mexico and the Mexicans he unhesitat-
ingly declares that the country is badly
understood in the United States, and is in
fact maligned by many travellers.
His grace had more than one interesting
experience in his travels. most of which
were in the State Jalisco, on the Pacific
Coast.
Il went to Mexico in response to an in
vitatlon to attend the coronation of the
picture of Nuestra Sonora de Guadalupe" Z"
he said. This ceremony took place on
October II, and was regarded as such q
great event that many thousands of people
gathered at Guadalupe, near the City of
Mexico, to attend the ceremonies. Not
one-third of the CROWDS could get into the
immense church. 1t was certainly an in:-
pressive spectacle. The crown was about
two feet high and was beautifully fash
loned in figures, coats of arms and floral
designs. 1t cost over 100000, and was
made of gold and precious stones. Eight
ladies carried it up to the altar, and when
1t was placed over the head of the virgin
the whole congregation shouted, Viva la
Virgin Mejicanap and they clapped their
hands--a most remarkable thing for Mexi-
cans, who were always quiet in church
after the coronation ceremonies 1 went
to Guadalajara, in the State of Jalisco.
Arch bishop Loza at that city is very old
about 81 years-and could not travel over
his diocese, so l went through Jalisco adj
ministering confirmation. In three and a
half months l confirmed $4,000 persons.
My work was in 'the backwoods,' where l
had to travel on horseback. as the roads
were not fit for wagons. The country was
frightfully rough and travelling over it
tired one more than you could imagine.
The people there l found most devout and
intensely Catholic. Their manner of re-
ceiving the bishop was characteristic.
They would come out of the villages to
meet me, 200 men or more on horseback
and thousands of people afoot. They
would cheer and strew the street with
flowers, and in one place, where oranges
seemed to be growing everywhere, those
people covered the ground with oranges
that the procession might pass over them.

misrepresented in the United States. They

lodges may meet in the performance of
their mystic and fraternal rites.
Mission Masonic Lodge No. 1859 was char
tered on the 18th of October, 1864, with the
following named officers: Edison Sammis,
worshipful master; Nathan w. Spaulding,
senior warden; John Ahern, junior war;
den; James Welch, treasurer; Daniel
Hanlon, secretary; Alexander Elon,
senior deacon; Mortimer Hopkins, junior
deacon; Frank A. Rutherford and Irwin
S. Lamb, stewards, and Joseph McQuoid,
tyler.
The lodge at the time OF its charter had
only twenty-one members, and among
ing probably. n. w. Spaulding and
Frank McCoppin, the latter going in at
that time as an enter-apprentice Mason,
are the only two positively known to the
present mem bers to be living in San Fran
cisco.
Since the date of its charter Mission
Lodge has fourished both in members and
in finance. 1t has now 400 members in
good standing with an excellent set of
officers.
The present worshipful master, James
A. Wilson, is a contractor and builder and
to his foresight pluck and enterprise,
Mission Lodge will in the near future very
largely owe its own building. 1t will be
located on the west side of Mission street,
between Twenty-second and Twenty-third,
backing up against Emanuel Baptist
Church, which faces on Bartlett street.
The actual sale OF the proposed site for
this new edifice has not as yet been con-
summated. The transfer must be ap-
proved of by the Probate Court, inasmuch
as the estate belongs to the heirs of Eliza
O'Connor, but a deposit has been made
and the sale, with the approval of the
Superior Judge, may be considered a
finality.
On this site an elegant three-story brick
building, with all modern improvements,
will be erected at cost of about $40 900.
Plans and specifications will be prepared
at once after the confirmation and the work
pushed ahead with vigor, as the lease
which the lodge now holos on the building
at Valencia and Sixteenth streets will ex-
pire in June, 1897.
The present officers of this lodge are:
Andrew christensen, senior warden; Will
| liam II. Cobb, JUNIOR warden G.. D. Bunker
secretary, and c. Flack, treasurer, and are
most earnest co-laborers in the contem-
plated enterprise with Mr.. Wilson. These
officers, with the 400 members, will take
more than ordinary pride in leaving to
their brethren a building that will be use
fll to themselves and their followers of the
mystic tie, as well as an ornament to the
Mission district.

RESEMBLES QUEEN LII.
Either the Lady or Her Double, aud
Playing a Game of Hide and
Seek

A strange story was in circulation yes
terday that Queen Liliuokalani OF Hon.
oIulu had arrived here and that she was
occupying suite of rooms at the Palace
preparatory to leaving for Europe. Before
evening the story had gained apace and
several people were sure they had seen
this lady at the caravansary or her double.
The double was so exact a reproduction of
the deposed Queen that the observers, do
what they would, could not rid themselves
Of the conviction that it was really the
Queen.
While the hotel was reasonably we'll
represented with persons who had seen
the alleged Queen there were outside per-
sons who were equally sure of it. A man
called at Attorney Richards Office early
in the day and said that Mrs. Dominis,
otherwise the ex-Queen, had arrived on
the previous days steamer incog., and
was, as the former report had it, going to
Europe.
Another story even had it that the lady
came on the Alameda. AS the Alameda
reached here on Thursday last much
industry would necessarily have to be
shown by her and her friends to keep the
knowledge of her SO long in the back
ground. 1t is, of course, no secret that the
Queen was TO come to America and go on
for some time.
In addition to all this two attaches OF
the hotel are certain the Queen is there,
though three times as many other
attaches are sure she is not on any of the
floors
why, 1 certainly saw a dark-skinned,
portly lady, with massive face, large, dark
eyes and thick black hair going in and out
here several times" said one. II have seen
her for fully three days, and l meant to ask
who she was. l said to myself, Why, that
lady looks like the pictures of this here
Queen out here at Honolulu. She
looked to be about 40 or 80 years old, and
was very heavily built. She's here all
right enough in this here hotel some
where"
The second story was this: "Why, saw
her tonight. She was seated on that chair
over there for moment, and then she got
up and walked around with white lady
attired in a light-colored Dress Other
attaches of the hotel claimed that the real
Queen could not be there,

Vests Parliamentary Inquiry.

Mr.. Vest of Missouri was making a
speech in the Senate yesterday, when first
Mr.. Peffer arose and began to speak, and
then Mr.. Sherman, all three addressing
the chair at the same time. Mr.. Vest
looked amazed, and after minutes hesi-
tation, called out:
"Mr. President, Mr.. President,
The president paid no attention to Mr..
Vest, however, when the Missouri member
changed his tactics by declaring his desire
to make parliamentary inquiry. This
appeal was not lost on the president.
"The gentleman from Missouri will state
it, he said, ignoring Mr.. PETER and Mr..
Sherman.
Il believe I was addressing the Senate
and had the floor" said Mr.. Vest. 'but it
seems that have no longer got it. If l
can't get it any other way rise to par
liamentary inquiry to find out how lost
it,"
There was ripple of laughter in the
cham Der, Mr.. Sherman apologized for his
interruption and Mr.. Vest continued to
hold the Washington Post.

have been accused of being ignorant, su-
perstitious and of living in darkness. L
found them very nice people, intelligent,
honest and deeply religious. They have
very good schools and plenty OF them free
throughout the land. For instance, IN
Guadalaiara there are 100 schools, half OF
which are free. The Sisters of the Sacred
Heart have an immense institution in Mex
leo, where they have boarders at school,
day scholars, poor children and orphans.
l went through these schools, and all the
classes were full of children. These SIS
tiers have many institutions of learning
and charity throughout Mexico. In the
City of Mexico there is an excellent school
for the deaf and dumb and blind.
s'All the people seemed anxious for DIaZ
for President. They wanted him to con-
tinue at the head of the nation, and In this
sentiment there seemed to me to be prac-
tically no dissent for Catholics were
united with the other party on this point.
They were all very anxious that the coun-
try should progress in peace under his
leadership. They don't want revolution
any more and they know that he can give
them continued peace.
fThey are going TO have a Papal Dele
gate, Monsignor Averardi, a Bishop who
will occupy the same relative position as
Monsignor Satolli in the United States.
He is known as 'Visitador, but will have
Jurisdiction over the church IN Mexico.
Most likely he will remain at Tacubaya,
near the city of Mexico. where wealthy

The announcement that grand anni-

would be held in the Turk-street Temple
under the auspices of the Socialist Labor

E. T. Kingsley presided, and in his open

who embraced the ideas of socialism and
dld not understand English perfectly ad-
dresses would be delivered in French, Ger

Faithful to this promise the attentive
and enthusiastic audience was permitted
to listen to addresses commemorative OF
the Paris commune given in the three Ian
guages from the lips of Moore, Gaffee
