"I cannot specify," he replied, "butt I caa say in a general way that all our disoojsions and deliberations were on the spiritual improvement of our people and a more effectual church discipline in this country." "Did the American archbishops agree unanimously to the conclusions arrived at!" and Africa. Washington,fan. I0.-I-Two4jills hare been introduced at the present session of congress for the establishment of a bureau of labor statistics. One presented by Senator Blair provides for the creation in tbfrinterior department of such bureau, with a chief and jlerk, whose duty It shall be to make a report annually on the general subject at labor to the secretary of tit* interior. Senator Blair's bill is drawn so that a wide but a practical field of labor investigation is opeued to this proposed bureau. Mr. Hopkins, of Pennsylvania, has also introduced in the house a bill for the establishmerit of a department of labor statistics, with a commissioner at Its head, to b* appointed by the president. This department, it is proposed, shall stand on a par with the department of agriculture, the commissioner not being a member of the cabinet. The details of work proposed in Mr. Hopkins' bill are of a much broader scope than thoeo in the bill Introduced by Mr. Blair, and sorao of the subjects which Mr. Hopkins proposes to investigate seem unnecessary for practical labor investigation. For example, his bill provides that this department shall investigate school and church privileges, the uses made of them by workingmen, the social and moral condition of workingmen and Mr. Hodkins' proposition that the commission shall resort directly to the president, instead of making its report through a cabinet officer, is an advantage over Mr. Blair's bilL Cyoionc.

In bis declaration before the Belgian consul he ■tat/49 that on the-Second day out from New York, on the way to Antwerp, the steamer encountered a terrific gale, which destroyed the sails which had been set to supplement the steam power, New sails were bent to aid the engines, but these were also destroyed on November 17, four days later. By noon of that day the wind had increased to a hurricane and drove the sea over the ship, demolishing the stern, cabiu and boats, clearing everything from the decks, which bent to the depth of two feot by the drifting wreck stubb. At the same time the propellor shaft broke in the tunnel, and the engines were stopped by the sea rushing into the furnace vacuum, which it flooded to a depth of thirteen feet. Five men were washed overboard and drowned; of theeo only one, Capt. Germano Duraizano, of Italy, was a first class passenger. The others were a steward named Sevenson, a baker named Blumenstein, a carpenter named Weber, and an unknown German who was working his passage in the second cabin. Th« vessel was by this time a wreck and was only kept afloat by continuous work at the hand pumps. From November 17 tho weather improved somewhat, and on the 10th an effort was made to lighten the bows of the steamer by throwing over the cargo between decks and a portion of that in the hull, near the stern. The effort failed, however, as the pillers supporting the decks were twisted or destroyed, and the good.; stowed in that part of the vessel were demolished and floated about in the hold. On November 24 the Norwegian bark Frizoff.of Christiania,passed cfose enough to enable those on board the Plantyn to read her namo, but paid no heed to the shrieks and appeals of the. possengeis for assistance, and was soon out of sight. The crew and passengers of the Plantyn continued pumping and were enabled to keep the vessel afloat until rescued by the "G. D. T." on December 6. On December 23 the "G. D. T." spoke the Scotsman, of Londonderry, and from her obtained a supply of mtter and provisions. The Scotsman took on board a seaman named Wigle, who had been shipped in New York, and Jacob Ruhleshire, a seoond-class passenger. Macoh. Oa., Jan. 10 —A terrible cyclone occurred in Coffee county, where trees were piled in iMag* and many houses were blown down. Every ouilding on the Smith plantation was destroyed and many buildings in the nurrounding district were damaged.Hnr'Toti, Jan. 10.—The Fo.t's Washington correspondent sends that paper the following special: "Friends of Mr. Morrison do not admit that a tariff bill cannot be passed through the house owing to the opposition of the protectionist democrats, or on account of an alliance between them and the republicans, as is claimed by1 the Randall men. Mr. Morrison says: 'The protectionist democrats, if they vote with the republicans, can defeat any bill; nevertheless, a bill will be presented, and votes-will have to be taken upon it' A friend of his. who is believed to have been consulted by him, says: 'Do not make any mistake about Morrison's plans, or about the probable action of the democracy in the house. The protectionist democrats will not dare to prevent the passage of the bill when they see what it is, and they will be ashamed at their talk of opposition to it. The bill will go to the sena#4 «« republicans will amend It by putting o» free sugar and tendi it back to the housa. Of course sugar will not be made free, and the republicans will have a good point on the democrats after alL Chicago, Jan. 10.—The rate war between Kansas City and New York has been inaugurated by the Alton and Bock Island roads cutting tickets to (4, on the ground that the Atlantic seaboard lines have been dofh; the same thing through their western sonnections.

Montreal, Que., Jan. 10.—A heavy snow storm is probable on the 11th or 12th of January, which will extend to Baltimore and Washington as well as-through portions of Virginia, not so marked westward, heavy at Buffalo and in New York city.

"Did the eonferenoe touch upon the Irish troubles!" Tboy, N. Y., Jan. la—A cyclone swept over Sand lake and a portion of Poestcnkill, doing an amount of damage that it would be difficult to estimate at this time. The track of the gale was four miles wide and about ten miles in length as far as heard from. The roofs were torn from many houses and barns. No lives were lost, although there .were many narrow escapes and several persons were badly bruised. There is scarcely a house in the village uninjured. The damage Will be very great. The utmost consternation prevailed, and many people sought refuge in cellars. IiOCZKVtLLS, Ky., Jan. 10,—Frank Taylor, colored, over 100 years of age, was found frozen to death in his hut.

Foe SalD.—Two or three family residences and lota oil Mill street (near Main street and tho Forry brldgo), will be sold on reasonable terras to suit purchasers. Apply to Henry Sloven®, 12 Mill sireet, Pittsfon, Ph. In conclusion, the reverend gentleman stated that upon the whole the conference was entirely satisfactory, and that he was sure much good will come out of it Great interest la felt In these bills by intelligent working men throughout the country, and as the house reoognlsed this sentiment by creating a new standing committee on labor, it is hoped that some legislation in the interest of labor will be had at the present snsic*. "It is ascertained that Mr. Morrison has completed his bill. H is not, as has bean eupposed, a bill of three thousand items. No bill of three thousand items will be presented by Mr. Morrison to the ways and means Committee, and that committee will report no such bill to the houn. There is reason to believe that the bill will not bw.-i»»re than 100 printed lines in length. It t*H1 propose, in short, what is known as lioriaAital reduction of an average of from twenty to twenty five per cent, in the whole tariff list. It will contain besides provisions to correot some of the crudities of the existing tariff, and will propose some additions to the free list. "The advantages of the Morrison plan for tlie revenue reformers are many. It is not complicated. It will be impossible for any f one to oompute the proposed rate who can calculate percentage. It will not make any radical changes in any industry or line of transportation. It will not make any changes in detail. It will offer very few opportunities for log-rolling. It will involve no balancing of separate interacts in the framing of the bilL It will not permit interests' which an supported by "powerful in^nejees" to receive special consideration, wBHe allowing those which have not such support to be injured, or to at least care for themselves. The Morrison plan, of course, proceeds upon the assumption that the duties in the existing tariff are equitably adjusted as betweett the several "interests," and tfeffno disturbance to any industry $111 result tfom suck a uniform scaling down of the rates. The last horizontal legislation ou the tariff was after the panic of 1878, wbah the republicans, on the ground that more revenue waa needed, restored the ten per cent, duty which had been reduced in 1873. This outline of Mr. Morrison's plan and of the advantages wlyich he will claim for it say be incomplete in some detail; but there is"good authority for the statement that this is in substance an outline both of his plan and of the arguments by which it will be in part supported. Iha also contain provisions as to raw' SkateWU, the details Of which are still subject to change. Mr. Morrison, for iustuic$, will undoubtedly Ask Mr. Hewitt to some su£g«etions, as were outlined in his recent letter, and to state, perhaps, hoiy many supporters he hopes to have for his policy. '•It is manifest that, with such a bill as this, it wjll not be necessary to consume months In the consideration of the details, Thi oommittee will only be called upon to determine whether it is considered wise to make a reduction, and whether, if so, it is well to adopt the policy of a horizontal reduction. . Those two points settled affirmatively, thtbiUii agreed upon. Ifcither will it be necessary to prolong the debates in the house upon tlgt items. The friends of each industry woutf., of qfturae, «avo it from a reduction, but tie supporters of the bill would have only one general line of policy to pursue, which would be to pass the bill. They would maintain that, after twenty years of teriff, and after the revision of the tariff commission, it might be assumed that a uniform scaling down would not work any injustice."Some of the friends of Mr. Cox, of New York, in talking of the Randall policy to prevyit tariff legislation, think that they have discovered another reason for not making Mr. Cox chairman of the committee on foreign.aibirs. Gov. Curtin, who was made chairman, is kaovra as one of the most aggressive of protectionists, who has but little more than served his apprenticeship in the democratic party, not very long ago having been a prominent republican leader. As chairman of the committee on foreign affairs he can do much to carry out the Randall programme of preventing any legislation which will tend in the direction of free trade. It is the committee on foreign affairs which has jurisdiction in aH matters relating to raelprocity. One of the strongest points of attack on the protectionist column is hi the diwelien of a reciprocity with Canada. To that Qov. Curtin is unalterably opposed." Washington, Jan. 10.—N. C. McFarland, commissioner of the general land office, has transmitted to the secretary of the interior an exhaustive review of the grants of land made by the United States to the state of Kansas for the iWcbinson, Topeka and Santa Fa railroad and his opinion upon the questions involved. After reviewing at great length the claims of the railroad and the acres of grants to it, he concludes as follows: "It is my judgment, therefore, that the stato of Kansas should be called on to request the Atchinson, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad company to return to the United States, by proper deed of relinquishment or conveyanoo, from lands, land certified to the state as indemity for its use, lands equal to the 15,160.40 acres certified in excess of the total area of odd sections in the granted limits: the 40,050.84 acres certified in excess from or on account of the lands south of the road in the granted limits, common with the Missouri, Kansas and Texas: and the 4,069.43 acres north of the road, which passed to the Missouri, Kansas and Texas company, for which tho Atchinson,'Topeka and Santa Fe company has received indemnity as herein fully explained— in all 60,180.66—and I await your furthei instructions."

The informal discussion that ensues at this meeting insures active effort to aid in building up a navy such as the United States should have, and the opinions expressed indicate the intention of the committee to recommend the retention of the government navy yards rather than the building up of private shipyards.
