BraihKma, Oct J#1.—Cardinal Gibbons, AwMilalioJa Williams, . Corrigan, Ryan, Wsahan, Salpointe, Leray and Kenrick have held a conference on the question of the relation of the Catholic church to secret societies, with special reference to the Knights of Labor. The greatest secrecy was observed in the conduct of the deliberations. Sufficient was learned from an authoritative source to show that the conference resulted in a determination that the Knights of labor as an order would not be condemned by the church. Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishop Kenriek were favorable to' the Knights, while it is •gated that Archbishops Corrigan and Williams and Feelian were much opposed to the order; The proceedings and resolutions will be forwarded to Romp for the approval at bis holiness the pope. IS is reported that Mr. Powderly, of the K. of L., was present during a portion of the conferenoe, but this cannot be verified. It is known, however, that eopias of the bylaws and constitution of tho order were in the hands of the prelates, and that they were discussed'with considerable warmth.

The first person ■ to appear from the train was the venerable Bishop Whipple, accompanied by his wife. Both were in the wreck and escaped without physical injury beyond the nervous shock. Mr. Joseph Whipple, of Fort Kaogh, was at the train to welcome his parents, with Mr. Lanabee, of the Indian commission. Mr. Joe had been telegraphing all day to ascertain if his parents had been injured, but could not find out, ani his, anxiety and suspense were great When ha saw them at last all safs his arm went around their necks and the bronsed soldier kissed them both with evidence of deep feeling. The bishop and Mrs. Wb ipple were very much worn out, but beyond that suffered but little from the accident They had lost all their personal offsets by the fire, but that appeared to worry them but littln. The bishop described the scene as one of the most terrible that ha bad ever witnessed. He said he had witnessed the burning of the cars, and had done all in his power to save the sufferers, but without avail. Ceremonies.

A generous idea has inspired the creation of the statue of Liberty; it honors equally those who conceived and those who have shown their appreciation by accepting it, Liberty Enlightening the World! great beacon rising from the waves at the threshold of free America I Setting foot on these shores, under its rays, men will recognise that they have reached a land where individuality develops In all its strength, where progress Is a religion, where great fortunes are made popular by charitable foundations, and by the encouragement of education and science becoming the seeds of abundant harvests for posterity. „ m**.* The enterprising manager ot Mim Violet Cameron wm evidently greatly perturbed.

His lordship would vouchsafe no further explanation, and his baggage was soon brought down stairs and piled on toy of a cab. LoVJ TinnsdaW Jumped into the cab and was rapidly driven down town. The White Star steamer Britannic was Just about to sail whan his lordship reached the dock. Grabbing a yellow hat box ih one hand and an umbrella in the other he dashed up the gangplank, which was at once pulled in. As the Britannic steamed down the harbor Lord Lonsdale made his appearance upon the deck. He leaned over the rail and looked back toward the city.

In all ages the achievements of man and his aspirations have been represented in symbols. Races have disappeared, and no record remains of their rise or fall, but by their monuments we know their history. The huge monoliths of the Assyrians and the obelisks of the Egyptians tell their stories of forgotten civilizations, but the sole purpose of their erection was to glorify rulers and preserve the boasts of conquerors.

It means that Witt the abolition of privileges to the few and the enfranchisement of the individual, the equality of all men before the law, and universal suffrage, the ballot secure from fraud and the voter from intimidation, the press tree and education furnished "by the state for all, liberty of worship and free speech, the right to rise, and equal opportunity for honor and fortune, the problems of labor and oapital, of social regeneration and moral growth, of property and poverty, will work themselves oat under the benign infiuenoes of law making and law abiding liberty, without the aid of kings and armies, oral Anarchists and bombs. I devoutly believe that from the unseen and the unknown two great souls have come to participate in this celebration. The faith in which they died fulfilled, the catue for which they battled triumphant, the poople they loved in the full enjoymeat of the rightefor which they labored and fought and suffered, the spirit voices of Washington and Lafayette join in the glad acclaim of France and the United States to Liberty Enlightening the World. showing that our rice consul at Liverpool informs the department that formerly all Mormons who sailed from England or the continent went to the'port of New York; they now go to Philadelphia. A copy of a letter dated Ang. 1), 1886, from the treasury department to the president of the board of emigration at New York, saying that "with reference to the point argued that our immigration laws should be invoked for the purpose of excluding Mormons from our shores, it is sufficient to say that there is no warrant of law for any such course of procedure." You have reason, citUens of America, to be proud of your "go ahead I" you have achieved the progress of your hundred years by this cry and your intrepidity. In speaking to you of the sympathy of France, I feel that I know how to express the thought of all my countrymen. No painful or somber memory exists between these two peoples; they hare but one rivalry—that of progress. We accept your inventions as you accept ours, without jealousy. You love the men who dare and who persevere. I say as you say, "Go ahead!" We opmprebend one another when I use this phrase. I feel, then, at home among you.

They got out of the car just as the flames burst forth from the wrecked passenger coach, and in a very few moments their sleeper and all the other coaches but one were horning. There was no time to save anything, and the shivering, poorly olad ones who had escaped were compelled to stand in the cold and watch their fellow pass*inters slowly bum to death. The air was filled with the groans and cries for help of the burning, mingled with stifled curses and vain pleadings for succor.

BraihKma, Oct J#1.—Cardinal Gibbons, AwMilalioJa Williams, . Corrigan, Ryan, Wsahan, Salpointe, Leray and Kenrick have held a conference on the question of the relation of the Catholic church to secret societies, with special reference to the Knights of Labor. The greatest secrecy was observed in the conduct of the deliberations. Sufficient was learned from an authoritative source to show that the conference resulted in a determination that the Knights of labor as an order would not be condemned by the church. Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishop Kenriek were favorable to' the Knights, while it is •gated that Archbishops Corrigan and Williams and Feelian were much opposed to the order; The proceedings and resolutions will be forwarded to Romp for the approval at bis holiness the pope. IS is reported that Mr. Powderly, of the K. of L., was present during a portion of the conferenoe, but this cannot be verified.

The first person ■ to appear from the train was the venerable Bishop Whipple, accompanied by his wife. Both were in the wreck and escaped without physical injury beyond the nervous shock. Mr. Joseph Whipple, of Fort Kaogh, was at the train to welcome his parents, with Mr. Lanabee, of the Indian commission. Mr. Joe had been telegraphing all day to ascertain if his parents had been injured, but could not find out, ani his, anxiety and suspense were great When ha saw them at last all safs his arm went around their necks and the bronsed soldier kissed them both with evidence of deep feeling. The bishop and Mrs. Wb ipple were very much worn out, but beyond that suffered but little from the accident They had lost all their personal offsets by the fire, but that appeared to worry them but littln. The bishop described the scene as one of the most terrible that ha bad ever witnessed.

A generous idea has inspired the creation of the statue of Liberty; it honors equally those who conceived and those who have shown their appreciation by accepting it, Liberty Enlightening the World! great beacon rising from the waves at the threshold of free America I Setting foot on these shores, under its rays, men will recognise that they have reached a land where individuality develops In all its strength, where progress Is a religion, where great fortunes are made popular by charitable foundations, and by the encouragement of education and science becoming the seeds of abundant harvests for posterity. „ m**.* The enterprising manager ot Mim Violet Cameron wm evidently greatly perturbed.

His lordship would vouchsafe no further explanation, and his baggage was soon brought down stairs and piled on toy of a cab. LoVJ TinnsdaW Jumped into the cab and was rapidly driven down town. The White Star steamer Britannic was Just about to sail whan his lordship reached the dock. Grabbing a yellow hat box ih one hand and an umbrella in the other he dashed up the gangplank, which was at once pulled in. As the Britannic steamed down the harbor Lord Lonsdale made his appearance upon the deck. He leaned over the rail and looked back toward the city.

In all ages the achievements of man and his aspirations have been represented in symbols. Races have disappeared, and no record remains of their rise or fall, but by their monuments we know their history. The huge monoliths of the Assyrians and the obelisks of the Egyptians tell their stories of forgotten civilizations, but the sole purpose of their erection was to glorify rulers and preserve the boasts of conquerors.

It means that Witt the abolition of privileges to the few and the enfranchisement of the individual, the equality of all men before the law, and universal suffrage, the ballot secure from fraud and the voter from intimidation, the press tree and education furnished "by the state for all, liberty of worship and free speech, the right to rise, and equal opportunity for honor and fortune, the problems of labor and oapital, of social regeneration and moral growth, of property and poverty, will work themselves oat under the benign infiuenoes of law making and law abiding liberty, without the aid of kings and armies, oral Anarchists and bombs. I devoutly believe that from the unseen and the unknown two great souls have come to participate in this celebration. The faith in which they died fulfilled, the catue for which they battled triumphant, the poople they loved in the full enjoymeat of the rightefor which they labored and fought and suffered, the spirit voices of Washington and Lafayette join in the glad acclaim of France and the United States to Liberty Enlightening the World. showing that our rice consul at Liverpool informs the department that formerly all Mormons who sailed from England or the continent went to the'port of New York; they now go to Philadelphia. A copy of a letter dated Ang. 1), 1886, from the treasury department to the president of the board of emigration at New York, saying that "with reference to the point argued that our immigration laws should be invoked for the purpose of excluding Mormons from our shores, it is sufficient to say that there is no warrant of law for any such course of procedure." You have reason, citUens of America, to be proud of your "go ahead I" you have achieved the progress of your hundred years by this cry and your intrepidity. In speaking to you of the sympathy of France, I feel that I know how to express the thought of all my countrymen. No painful or somber memory exists between these two peoples; they hare but one rivalry—that of progress. We accept your inventions as you accept ours, without jealousy. You love the men who dare and who persevere. I say as you say, "Go ahead!" We opmprebend one another when I use this phrase. I feel, then, at home among you.
