Accepted the Advice.

Zcnas M. Crane, of Dalton, Mass,
whose firm make a speciality of manu-
featuring bond paper, in which line
they have alone monopoly, by reason
of having occupied the field earlier than
anyone else, is often in New York. He
is short, stout, gray-haired man, with
benevolent look, who is obliged to
lean heavily on a cane owing to some
trouble in one of his limbs. He pridcs
himself on two things the fact that his
ancestors were among tile first paper
makers in America and the fact that his
firm supplied the first order of paper on
which Horace Greeley printed his first
newspaper There is story that with
all his extensive dealings with the gov
ernment Mr.. Crane has never been in
Washington but once, and then he vowed
never to 20 again. 1t seems that he
paid visit to the national capital in
Chase's time. He had heard of the sug-
gestion to print greenbacks and went
on to see the secretary about it. He
was member of the governors council
of Massachusetts at the time, and con-
sidered his mission of enough import
ance to carry letters of introduction from
Gov. Andrew and others. He got an
audience with Mr.. Chase at moment
when the secretary was tired and
worried and bored. He was heard with
some impatience. The secretary's an
swers were curt and pointed with slight
sarcasm. Mr.. Crane stood it for a
while, and then impatiently said that
he did not believe that he would come
TO Washington again If he could not be
given more consideration. To his as
tonishment Mr.. Chase said: II don't
believe ] would como TO Washington
again if were in your place either. .
The advice has beer rigidly followed

LABOR ANDTHE CHURCH.
High Prelates in Conference on the
Subject at Philadelphia.

High PreIates in Conference on the
Subject at Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1.-THE Record
this morning says:
An important conference bearing on
the relation of the Catholic Church to the
knights of Labor In the United States is
believed to have taken place In this city
yesterday between Cardinal Gibbons,
Archbishop Corrigan OF New York, and
Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia, at
the residence Of the latter. From
noon until O'Clock In
the afternoon tho three prelates were
closeted, and at the latter hour Cardinal
Gibbons and Archbishop Corrigan de-
parted for their homes. Archbishop
Elder, Of Cincinnati, was expected at
the conference, but he was suffering from
pneumonia and unable 10 come. What
ever occurred at the conference Ia kept
close secret, but IL Is understood that the
meeting was for the purpose OF discussing
thoroughly the principles OF labor unions
and labor political movements, with a
view OF either condemning or approving
them, according as they appear to be In
conformity with the church, aud also that
any action that might be taken should be
uniform throughout the country. 1t is
believed the action OF Arch
bishop COrrigan In suspendlBg DIR.
MctIlynn formed the leading subject OF
deliberation. A prominent priest said
last evening, in referring to the meeting,
that the labor question was certainly as
suminR such proportions and drifting
into such channels that the church could
not very long ignore IL. He referred 10
the interest taken in the labor movement,
as eXempliiied by the heavy vote polled
for Henry George, and neutrality-suspicious.
should be advised by their spiritual
superiors, whether or not II was danger
Gus TO support such movements. "Ot
course" he concluded, mo action will
be taken by the hierarchy without delib-
GRAFTON and care, and If any change is
made 1T will only be for the best interests
Of the church and the spiritual welfare OF
its adherents."

TAXES ON TOBACCO,
Representatives From the South to
seek Their Abolition,

WASHINGTON, Dec. ia meeting OF
the Southern Representatives who favor
reduction in internal revenue taxes was
hela In the room of the House Committee
on Judiciary to-day. The States of Vir-
glnia, North Carolina, South Carolina
ana Georgia were represented by Messrs.
1aoell, Daniel, Wise, Barbour, CroxtOn,
OFarrell, Cowles, Henderson, Johnston,
Chandler, Tillman, Skinner and Bennett,
DIT. Caotll was CHOSEN chairman. As the
proceedings OF the conference were re-
garded as of confidential nature it is
somewhat difficult to ascertain the
exact results, but it is learned
that the call for the meeting was for the
purpose OF concerting measures to be en-
grated upon one OF the tariff bills, look
ing to the abolition OF the internal
revenue tax upon tobacco and spirits dis
titled from fruits, From the tone of the
olscusslonft appeared that nearl gall of the
persons in attendance regarded as impr
ticabie the proposition to reduce mate
rally the tax on whiskey.
AGREED ON TWO OTHER POINTS.
They were practically unanimous, how
ever, In favor OF the propositions to abol-
lsn the tobacco tax and to abolish the fruit
brandy tax, or reduce 1t 20 nominal fig
ure, with view to continuing govern
ment supervision over its manufact ture.
A committee consisting of Messrs.
wise, Bennett, Johnston, Barbour, Cand-
Ter and Tillman was appointed to formu-
late amendments embody1ng the propo-
sitlons. which 1t is the intention to offer
as amendments to the Morrison tariff bill
consideration OF that measure IL secured
In the House. Another committee was ap-
pointed comprising nearly all of the
remaining mem bers OF the conference,
to sound other Representatives with
view to ascertaining whether 1t
IL feasible to pass Independent
measures embodying these fore
going propositions in the event OF a failure
OF Mr.. Morrison's attempt to secure con-
sideratlOn for his bill. These committees
Will report at a subsequent meeting of
the conference. All of the proceedings are
regarded as tentative in their nature and
the propositions above referred to and the
plan OF procedure outlined may be
materially modified hereafter.

BERLIN, Dec. 1.-THE Bulgarian depu-
tatOn has arrived here.
The Nation is informed that the Centre
party in the RpIchstag, in view Of an ex.
pected conflict In the spring. has
resolved unanimously TO support the
proposal to increase the army.
The commission on the bill to-day con-
cluded the debate on the first reading of
the measure. Upon proposal being
made that the commission adjourn until
after the holidays Gen. Won sohellendort,
Minister of War, demanded that the de-
bate on the second reading be begun to-
day. The Conservatives and National
Liberals were opposed to adjourning,
while the members OF the Centre
and Progressists favored the ad-
journment. During the debate
Gen. Won Sohellendortf declared that
IL was impossible TO accept the bill as
modified by yesterdays vote. The mo-
tion to hold a sitting tomorrow was re-
Jected by vote OF l6 TO IL, and 1t was de-
cided to leave TO the President OF the
commission the summoning OF the next
meeting. This decisionAs tantamount to
