The Miners 'Sirikes-Basis OF Settle,
ment.

HARRISBURG, April 5.-Gov. Geary,
who has been indefatigable for the past
two weeks trying to bring about a set.
tlement of the differences in the coal
regions, has had long interviews with
representatives of each party relative
to the proposition made by the Presi-
dent of the Reading railroad, and
though it is believed it will be accepted,
it is understood the representative of
the Workingmeu's Benevolent Associa-
ton preferred submitting it to their
constituents before committing them
selves either to its acceptance or rejec-
ton. By the agreement the working
men are to abandon all control over the
collieries, and all interference with the
employment or discharge Of any one
simply on account Of bis belonging to
the Workingmen's Benevolent Associa-
ton, or on account of any part taken
by him in behalf of the Workingmen's $
Benevolent Association. The above
two clauses to be binding at all times
and not to be changed by any reference
or arbitration whatever Work to be
resumed at once upon the $3.50 basis,
providing that for the month of April
men shall receive the rate OF wages
they would be entitled 10 upon that
basis when coal sells for So at Port
Carbon. On or before the 25th OF
April board of arbitration or concilia-
tion is to meet, comprised of six dele
gates from the Workingmen's Benevo-
lent Association and six delegates from
the Anthracite Board of Trade. The
twelve thus chosen shall select an UNI
pire before transacting any other busi-
ness, and shall then fix the rate OF
wages to be paid for the rest of the year
after the month Of April; and this
board shall meet from time to time and
adjust all difficulties between the par.
ties; and in case OF their being unable
to agree the decision Of the umpire shall
be final, it being the true intent and
meaning Of this agreement that the
board Of arbitration and umpire are
hereafter to settle all differences what
ever, so that strikes and suspensions
shall not be resorted to. Simultane-
ously with general resumption Of
work upon these terms, charges upon
the Reading railroad are to be reduced.

Man SHoT.-We understand that on
last Saturday morning, at Wee Gee
about three miles above this place, an
unknown man was shot by Mr.. Am
bier, Of that place. 1t appears that
three men, unknown to him, ( Amber
attempted to take from his skiffa pair
of oars; he refused to let them be taken
when angry words passed between
them, and Mr.. Amber was very rudely
ordered to 90 to the house, and while
between the river and the house one oi
the three fired a pistol. Mr.. Amber
then stepped into the house and got his
gun and shot one Of the men. ltis un-
known what effect the shot had, as his
comrades dragged him into the skiff
and rowed of. Nothing further has
vet been heard Of them.-NoundsnHe

A member called for the report OF
the committee on Monument for Cen
eral Rawlins, member of the commit
tee. He said no formal report had been
made and no money had been col
lected.
General Sherman thought the prac-
tice Of building expensive monuments
by the society would have to be
abandoned; they cost too much we
were dying too fast. 1t seemed to him
plain tablet Of moderate cost, simply
to show the society claimed and re-
spected its dead members, was better.
No action was taken on the matter.

New YORK, April 6:--A,special tele-
gram from Havana shows that brisk
fighting has been going on in San Do
mingo between the insurgents under
Luperon and Cabral and the army OF
Baez, in which the former was defeated
in two engagements The loss in
killed, wounded and prisoners does not
appear to be large. The insurgents
probably lost all their cavalry, from the
fact that fourteen horses were captured
in one fight and fifteen in the other.
Ten general officers and about eight
hundred men composed the forces en-
gagged in the first encounter. No esti-

these two battles OF the probability OF

THE ELECTIONS.
CONNECTICUT.

HARTFORD, April 6.-The revised
count of votes furnished by town clerks
gives English a majority Of II, with
probably scattering votes enough to put
the election into q joint ballot of the
General Assembly. For Congress. the
majorities are: First district, Strong
pa; Second district, Kellogg A.; Third
district, Starkweather 1863; Fourth
district, Barnum ISL. The Legisla,
ture is made up Of IS Republicans and
8 Democrats in the Senate, and l3O
Republicans to los Democrats in the
Assembly, with Democratic town to
settle a tie vote, and from which a
Democrat will probably be elected.
The Hartford Times throws out %
Republican votes in Cheshire which
the Republican papers count, and
makes English's majority 81. The
Post figures his majority at II and the
scattering vote at II. 1t claims that
the election will 60 to the Legislature !;
but some Of these votes returned as
scattering will be counted by the can
vassers. There are but % scattering
votes in New Haven, Is were put in
the wrong box and will not be counted
at all, and the other seven are two for
English, one for ]. English, one for
James E. English, and one for Francis
Gillette. All these, except those tor
English and Gillette, will undoubtedly
be counted for James E. English.
There are three scattering in Hartford,
one each for F. Gillette, A. A. Buck
ingham and C. E. Perkins, and one in
East Hartford for Gillette. There are
two scattering in Meridian, but none
others are reported so far This makes
nine scattering to be counted against
English. In Enfield there were "a
more votes returned than were checked,
The chances are now about even, with
possibly slight odds that Jewell will be
the next Governor. There are some
doubts in some quarters concerning the
election OF the remainder of the Demo
cratic State ticket, the election Of which
has been conceded. Nicholas. Repub-
lican candidate for Treasurer, runs
100 ahead in his own town, Danbury ;
also considerably ahead in New Haven,
more than making up Ponds gains in
Hartford.
HARTFORD, CT, April 6-The Ersn-
ing Post of this city announces the cleo
ton Of the entire Republican State
ticket, with the exception Of Governor.
The vote in detail, as given in large
towns, show that English has generally
run ahead Of his ticket and Jewell be-
hind, probably on account OF the capi'
tai question. The Republican ticket,
except Governor, probably has more
than 100 majority.
ST. LOUIS
ST. LOUIS, April 6.-The official ma.
jority for Captain F. Brown, elected
Mayor on Tuesday, is 2O34. The low.
est majority is for Doyle, Hsrbor Mas
ter 1859, and the highest for w. c.
Carr, Auditor, 27S3. The majority for
F. w. Matthias, Democrat), for County
Treasurer, is 5096. The proposition for
4, he county to subscribe one million dol
lars to the St. Louis 4 Fort Scott rail
road was defeated by 1862 majority. As
before stated, the City Council is a tie,
but Mr.. S,nssell, (Democrat), in the
Third ward, will contest the seat of Mr..

The High Commission.

New YORK, April Cit was tele-
graphed from Washington last night, on
well informed authority, that the labors
of the Joint High Commission will be
finished in fortnight from the present
time, and that a treaty which will be
the basis of settlement Of all points Of
difference between the two countries,
will be ready to submit to the Senate at
that time. 1t is not improbable that
the Senate will be in session two weeks
hence, and that the treaty will be con-
sidered before adjournment. General
Schenck lately expressed the opinion
that the work OF the Commission will
be finished in time for him to sail for
England before the first Of May.
San Domingo In the Senate-The Gag
Rule.
A Washington correspondent tele-
graphs: When the San Domingo
message and report were submitted to
the Senate yesterday, there was a dis
position on the part of the Sumner and
Schurz party to have it printed and
laid on the table without debate. Mr..
Sumner says he never saw so bold an
attempt to cut off debate in the Senate
since 1852, when he insisted upon
discussing the slavery question. 1t was
finally agreed to allow one speech on
each side, but there will be a struggle
on the part of Sumner and his friends
to have regular discussion upon the
message and report.
