superintendent Neale, Of the Mt.
Pleasant colliery, submitted FIVE propo-
sltlons to the striking miners employed
by the Fuller Coal company at a meet
Ing in Cooperative hall, West Scran-
ton, last evening, three of which were
accepted and the other two were re-
jected.
committee from the strikers was
appointed to arbitrate the rejected
propositions at a meeting to be held at
| the colliery office tomorrow evening.
After the meeting, Superintendent
Neale stated that the company is per-
fectly willing and anxious to deal with
the men as employees of the Mt. Pleas
ant colliery, but not as members Of the
United Mine Workers of America. He
claims that the existing difficulty is
purely a matter to be decided by the
employees and the officials, and not by
any board of arbitration or officers of
the Mine Workers union. The propo-
sitions submitted were as follows:
$lO5a per car.
$50 per lneal yard in the gangways.
500 per lineal yard in the counter breast
IS cents per lineal yard for rock one inch
thick in the brasts. This is bored on Ga cents
per inch, and when more than foot of rock
mas 10 De taken IN order TO make the height
required above the rail by the inside foreman,
the excess will be paid for at that rate.
Sl.i1 per lincal yard for cross.cuts.
$i.S5 for opening.
powder allowance on fifteen cars to the keg
will be given when necessary.
Gear shift will be used to decide the pow
der allowance. Under circumstance will the
powder allowance he given when a miner has
earned 50. so per shift or more.
The objection raised is in reference
to the company's refusal to pay the
men for time worked in cutting rock
The strikers claim that if twenty shifts
are worked in a month fifteen of which
are on cutting coal and five on cutting
rock, they will not receive any COM
pensation for the latter.
The men were asked to resume work
this morning, but they refused, and
Superintendent Neale stated that the
colliery will be started up with the men
who are willing to work.
No trouble is anticipated, and If a
satisfactory adjustment can be reached
at the meeting tomorrow evening the
strikers will undoubtedly return to
work Saturday morning.

CONFIDENT OF VICTORY.
Corbett Declares That He Will De-
feat Jeffries When Next They
Meet in the Roped Arena.

James j. Corbett, eX-champion
heavyweight pugilist of the world, who
was in the city yesterday playing first
base in the Wilkes Barre
game, declares that he will again meet
Champion Jeffres in the ring, and says
he is confident of victory. Pompadour
Jim looks to be in the best of condi-
ton. He strips at 1S5 pounds and says
that he is now heavier than at any
time during his ring experience.
When seen at Athletic park yester-
day Corbett was wearing a base ball
Uniform and looked strong enough to
go in the ring at a moments notice.
81 am eager to get another fight
with Jeffries," he said, land will prob
ably fight him again next spring. l
feel confident of my ability to win
from him, banking on my recent fight
against him. After having the better
OF him for the majority of rounds, it
was only a chance blow that gave him
the decision. l will meet none of the
other fighters. Jeffries, the champion,
is the man / am after and the man
/ will fight.
There is no prospect of an imme-
date fight, but we shall meet in the
ring again and am confident of win
ming back the belt"
On being asked how he enjoyed his
present occupation of playing on the
Atlantic league teams, Corbett grinned
good naturedly and remarked that he
considered it IAN amusing sort of en-
tertainment."
During the first five innings of the
game Corbett played first base for
Scranton and put up a much better
article of ball than he did in his for
mer appearances here. He fielded his
position very fairly, and at the bat
stood up to the plate and met the
horse hide as squarely and hard as
any one of the local professionals.
At tho end of the fifth inning Cor
bett, who had disappeared into the
dressing rooms to make a change of
attire, came out on the diamond ready
for the three-round bout with Jack
McFey his sparring partner. The lat
ter is a magnificently built pugilist
and in his snug fitting trunks present
ed a neator and more graceful appear
ance than Corbett, who had merely
divested himself of some of his base
ball togs.
The bout was of the customary
rather tame variety, but the majority
of the big crowd of spectators enjoyed
it.
1t aroused the ire of a few of the
more bloodthirsty spectators in the
grand-stand, however, and a feeble
volley of Kisses was the result. Cor
belts square jaw seemed to grow n
bit squarer, and at the conclusion Of
the battle he strode toward the grand
stand and halted in front of that part
where the parties in question sat. He
then raised his voice and delivered
himself of the following short but
sweet speech: Say, what's the matter
with you people anyway? Did YOU
want me to knock the man out? This
Is only sparring match, and we've
given you as good an exhibition in
that line as we can"
He then made his exit and was seen
no more by the eager populace.

FILTPINOS CoNCENTRATTNG.
American Reinforcements Are Sent 80
General Young.

Manila, Oct. -Four troops of cav
airy and two companies of infantry
have recently reinforced General Young
in northern Luzon, where the insur-
gents are concentrating in the noun
tains of north and south Ilocos prov
nces under the leadership Of Aglipay,
the communicated priest and rene
gade.
General Tinio and General Villaneuve,
who had been quiet for some time, are
now showing signs Of becoming active,
as the end of the rain season APP
proaches.
OF late there has been considerable
scouting and skirmishing in the PROV
inces of Abra and north Ilocos though
without decisive results. 1t is obvious,
however, that the manoeuvres of the
Fllipinos are more skilful than former
ly and that the field tactics of the
Americans are being followed by them.
Senior Mabini, the virtual founder of
the so-called Filipino government, who
was captured by the Americans last
December and lodged in jail in Manila,
has been liberated AS he had always
persistently refused to take the oath of
allegiance to the United States govern
ment be had maintained his reputation
among the Filipinos as a resolute pa
triot They now believe that he has
reached a private understanding with
the American authorities which has Sc
cured his release and consequently he
has lost some of his popularity al
though he Is still considered the leader
of the dormant revolutionary element.
This week the commission will begin
the work of revising the tariff, making
use of the results of the Investigation
of the army board in this direction. 1t
Is the intention of the commission to
give American trade a better chance
than 1t has heretofore enjoyed owing to
the high duties.

from which fell festoons of silver bull
lion and fragil seaweed.
The wedding cake of the Prince of
Wales had four silken bannerets paint
ed with exquisite miniatures of him
self and his bride, the sea kings
daughter from over the seas"
It is said that the wedding cake of
the Duke and Duchess of York was one
of the finest ever made. william Boil
land designed it personally. The
Thrush and Melampus figured promi-
nently in the decorations naturally
suggested by the former experience Of
the sailor prince. In addition to the
symbolcal suggestions of the sea, the
national flowers We're largely used, and
the whole was divided into tiers sup
ported by exquisitely formed columns,
giving a beautiful effect of lightness
and airnRss to the great cake.
When the late Duke of Westminster
ordered the wedding cake for his
daughter Margaret's marriage with
Prince Adolphus of Tecl1, he, by spec
tal request of the bride, desired it to be
as much like the Duchess of York's as
possible. This wish was fulfilled by
the ingenious Bollands, only instead of
the royal arms the stag of the Tecks
and the gerbe dor golden wheat
sheaO of the Grosvenors were intro
Guced, and in lieu of the national flow
ers, marguerites, roses, white heather
and myrtle were employed.
All the Gladstone wedding cakes have
been made at Bollands'. Little Doro-
thy Drew, the Gladstone's favorite
grandchild, is a frequent visitor for ices
and other delicacies dear to the hearts
of children. Miss Dorothy made her
first notable appearance in society as
chief bridesmaid to Miss Margaret Ten
the original of Benson's impertinant
''Dodo," and a member Of the mysteri-
Gus society vaguely called Souls" She
was married to Mr.. Asquth, home sec
rotary in the Rosebery cabinet, and be-
came one of the most dignified and
helpful of wives. She. too. had her
wedding cake from Bollands', stipulat-
ing that it should be as simple as pos
sihle Her wishes were carried out
and the result was exquisite glisten-
ing cone of purest white twined with
delicate trails of smilax.
The wedding cake of Lord Rosebery
and Hannah Rothschild came from
Bolfands; ard when, a year or two
ago Lord Rosebery ordered his daugh-
ter's primrose cake from these tradit-
ionaI bakers, he must have remembered
his own wedding day, when Lord
Beaconsfield gave away the bride.-The
Puritan
