at Buffalo in 1901, viii, during the coming

In the great mass Of literature relating

The expression Three Americas" means

In the presence OF nearly 1000 enthu-

night made a Mason. Through a special
dispensation from the grand commander
of the Grand Lodge Of the District he was
put through the first. second, and third de-

place at a special meeting of B. 3. French

and the big auditorium was crowded to the
doors before the exercises began
Delegations were present from every

Baltimore lodges and from Richmond

was organized in 1850. A large aunbeF Of
Scottish Rite Masons were also present.
including many members OF the Supreme
Council for the Southern Jurisdiction.
When Admiral Schley entered the hal
he was cheered by the assembly until the
windows shook in their frames. The can
didate smiled, and after bOwing his appre-
citation of the ovation seated himself Fol-
lowing the admiral came several prOmi-
nent officials of the executive departments
of the Government and a number OF at
taches of the White House.
The cOnferring of the three degrees oC-
cupied over two hours and 1t was midnight
before the session was adjourned Grand

mote a permanent exposition of the Three
Americas at Washington. At that time
there were pending in Congress siX differ
ent bills providing for a conference Of
American nations. but the importance OF
the subject was not generally understood,
the Administration was Unfriendly, and no
final action was then tatken-
But in 1883, after the exposition board Of
promotion had conducted a TWO years edu-
cational campaign, by correspondence with
governors, mayors, boards of trade, State
oranges, and others, the national import
ance of the movement was clearly demon
strated, and Congress, by unanimous
vote. appropriated $4,000 for the expenses
OF a conference of American republics.
About the same time, in June. 1888 the
Foreign Affairs Committee Of the House
made a favorable and unanimous report on
the Three Americas Exposition. I'm the
arguments before the committee by the
board of promotion it's purposes were con
cisely stated as follows:
This is an exposition with an idea. and
the idea is greater than the exposition, in
that it aims at the establishment of an
American hemispherical policy, based upon
more intimate commercial. social, and pO-
Iitical relations between the several sister
nations of the New World which Colum-
bus discovered" E"
Owing to the peculiar, arbitrary, OBJ
structiye, democratic, un-RepubIican.
and un- American rules of the House. the
committee did not secure day for a hear
ing, and the bill, like many others, went
over to the next Congress. It's popularity
and Importance had, however, been de-
monstrated. and excited the ambition Of
New York. Chicago. and st. Louis.
The result was the great West proved 30
strong for the Atlantic seaboard, and in
the memorable contest before Congress,
carried off the much-coyeted prize.
But it is gratifying to know that the
valuable pioneer work done by Washington
has been reaching in It's influence and
effect. and that the Three Americas move
ment, under the new name Pan-American,
is approaching consummatiou worthy Of
its transcendent Importance.
