PfiiLASiLraiA, Deo 17 The Record this morning sap: An important confer ence bearing on the relation of the Uatho lie church to the Knights of Labor in the United States it believed to have taken place in this , city yesterday be tween Cardinal Gibbons and Arohbishop Corrigan, of New York, and Aroh- pishop Ryan, of riiladeiphla, at the residence of the latter. From noon un til 5 o'clock in the afternoon the three prelates were closeted, and at the latter pour Cordinal Gibbons and Arohbishop Corrigan departed for their homes Archbishop Alder, cf Cincinnati, was expected at the oonferenoe, but he was suffering from pneumonia and unable to come. Whatever occurred at the oon ferenoe it kept a close secret, but it it understood the meeting was for' the purpose of diocussinjr thor oughly ' the principles of labor unions ana xaoor pouneu move ments with a view of either con demning or approving themj according as thf y appear to be in oonformity with the church or not;also that any action that might be taken should be uniform throughout the country It is believed the eotion of Areb bishop Corrigan in suspending Dr. Mr Glynn formed a lead- ins; subieot of deliberation. A prominent priest said last evening in referrint? to tr. meeting, that the 11 -J?t- 5 laoor question was certainty aaaumiag such proportions and drifting into such ehannelt that the church oould not very long ignore it. He referred to the in terest taken in labor movements; as exemplified by the heavy rote polled for Henry George, and thought catholics should be advised by their tpiritval ruperwri whether or not it was dangerous to support tueb move ments Of course" he concluded " no action will be taken by hierarchy with out deliberation and ears, snd if any change is made itwillonlybeforthebest interests of the church and the spiritual welfare of its adherents.

A meeting of the Southern Representatives who favor a redaction in internal revenue taxes was held in the room of the House committee on judiciary today. ' The states of Virginia, North Caro lina, 'Pouth Carolina and Georgia were represented by Messrs. Cabell. Daniel. Wise. Barbour, Croxton, O'Ferrall, Cow lea, Henderson, Johnston, Skinner and Bennett. Mr. Cabell was ehosen ohairtnan. At the proceedings cf the oonferenoe were regarded as of a confidential na ture, it is somewhat difficult to aeeertain the exot results; but it is learned that the cl for the meeting was for the pur pone of concerting measures to be en grafted upon one of the tariff billt look ing to the abolition of the internal ax on tobacco, and spirits diatilled ftvm fruits. From the tone of the discussion it appeared that nearly all of the persons in attendance regarded as impracticable the proposition to reduce materially the tax on whukoy. - They were practically unanimous, however, in favor of the propositions to abolish the tobacco tax and to abolish the fruit brandy tax or reduee it to a nominal figure, with a view to continu ing government supervisions over its manufacture. A committee consisting of Messrs. Wise. Bennett, Johnston, Barbour, han dler, Tillman w&a tppointed to formulate amendments embodying these proposi tions, which it is to effar m amendments to the Morrison tariff bill if consideration of that measure is secured in the House. Another eommittee was appointed com prising nearly til of the remaining mem bers of tho conference, to send other representatives with a view to ascer taining whether it is feasible to pass in dependent measures embodying thS fore going proposition in the event of the failure of Mr. Morrison's attempt to se cure consideration for his ' bill. These committees will report at a subsequent meeting of the oonferenoe. 'All of the proeeedings are regarded as tentative in their nature and prepositions above re ferred to, and the plan of prooeednre outlined may.be materially modjnd hereafter. and surrounding country, and from the observatory one has a good view of Sauratiwn and Pilot mountains.

Dee. 16 On Monday, Mr; Morrison gave no tice, that on Saturday he would move to go into oemmittee of' the whole to consider revenue measures; to if hit mo it carried the great expected tariff de bate will begin. There it much specu lation at to the success of the motion. though I believe the best opinion is that Mr. Morrison will suoeeed by a very small majority. Mr. McKinley, Re publican of Ohio will lead the opposi tion. He saya the result is in doubt. but thinks the Republicans will stud as last year. Got. Long.

The protection dem ocrats have held a caucus or' meeting, but so few were present that there could be no test as to iteir strength mad.
