IS ENTITLED TO TWO.
Sixth Ward Will Be Given Two Mem
bers in the Lower Branch
Of Common Council.

IL has been settled that the Sixth
ward is TO have two representatives in
common council. The city authorities,
who have had under consideration the
matter of adjusting the dispute as to
the Sixth's representation, made an.
nouncement yesterday that the ward is
entitled to her claim to two Commoners
instead Of one, and that the recorder
would without further ado, in all like
lihood. proclaim for an election of two
commonerS instead OF one.
When the original apportionment was
made the Sixth was entitled to two
commoners, by a margin of nearly 200
taXables. The next census of the ward
assessor. however, showed the ward to
be one hundred taXables shy of enough
to entitle it to two men, President CAL
pin, of common council, and others of
the citizens of the ward produced facts
and figures to show that the assessor
was away off in his count and that the
ward instead of losing, had gained
in it's number of resident
taxables.
That error had been made was very
palDable, and that the error when rec
titled would give the ward it's original
representation was proven by q cam
vass made personally by the board OF
assessors. Unless legal difficulties are
the probabilities are the re-
corder's proclamation will contemplate
two commoners from the Sixth.

President G.. NJ. Clark. of the Scran-
ton Railway company, did not go home
yesterday, as he expected. Business
connected with the attack on the VAL
ley Passenger Railway conpany's fran
chses detained him. He spent a part
OF the day in consultation with the
company's attorneys and local officials,
and not being able to make connec-
tions with the Black Diamond on the
Lehigh Valley, he remained over night
He will return to Philadelphia today.
Yesterday morning he was waited
upon by National Treasurer Rein Orr
of the Amalgamated Association of
Street Railway Employees, and Presi-
dent r. d. Nichols, of the United Mine
Workers. They went to him as repre-
sentatives of the strikers to make a
last effort to effect Il settlement. Mr..
Clark discussed the situation with them
for an hour and told them, finally, that
he could not, in reason. be expected to
hold any more conferences With medi-
ators who had nothing definite to offer
from the other side.
NO THIRD PARTIES.
1t will be useless. Mr.. Clark said, to
waste any more time and energy en-
deavoring to accomplish anything
through third parties. Any represen-
tatives of the strikers who come to see
him, hereafter, he said must come
armed with authority to act finally
and conclusvely.
If any of the strikers or any one rep
resenting them will come to him pre-
pared and duly authorized to negotiate
II settlement he will see them. Others
might just as we'll stay away.
This declaration of President Clark
was transmitted to the strikers execu-
tive committee by Messrs Orr and
Nichols. and after II lengthy consul-
tation, the committee issued call for
II special meeting Of the strikers this
morning at o'clock. Appended to the
call was the announcement that mat
ters of great Importance will be pre-
sented."
Last night the executive committee
had another meeting to discuss the
Clark declaration. What was done
would not be disclosed.
CAN'T DELEGATE POWER.
From an unofficial source it was
CLEANED that the committee was of the
opinion that the unions constitution
and bylaws forbade the delegation OF
power to negotiate a settlement of the
strike. and that Mr.. Clark will he in
formed that the only party who can
wait upon him with authority to effect
Il settlement is the whole membership
of Division 1GS, Analsamated Associa-
tion of Street Railway Employees of
America.
However. to be in line with some of
our contemporaries in making sage
forecasts on strike affairs, The Tribune
will say in al! sincerity and with the
utmost confidence that the strike may
be settled today or it may not be.

Can Be Made Out,

Superintendent Iona B. Day stated
yesterday afternoon to a Tribune man
that he believes IL very strong case can
be worked up against John Argentis.
the young italian committed without
bail on Thursday night for the murder
Of Harry Frederick. The 'superintend
ent believes firmly that Argentis is the
guilty man and that he is also one OF
the men who have been attacking
young women in North Scranton and
Green Ridge during the past two or
three months.
ArSentis was measured yesterday by
the Bertillion system and was also pho
tographed. lie is only five feet three
inches high and is very slightly built.
He processes not to be able to speak
English, but it can be seen that he
understands very clearly what is being
said around about.

Christian De Wet is the great mill
tary genius of the day. The eyes of
all the military strategists of Europe
are now ccntered on him. They real
izc that an altogether new era of war
fare has opened up with the South
African war. Nothing like it has ever
been witnessed before i'm the annals
of nations, AS a cavalry leader De
Wet has shown himself to he an alto
gethcr new star in the military flrma-
ment. He so suddenly makes for his
point of attack, gains his end, turns
on his tracks and strikes another effec-
tive blow before the British have
hardly realized he has left his former
base of operations. that he is striking
the British generals with amazement.
This sort of feeling, of course. pene-
trates also down among the men.
Here, for instance, is II sample from n
letter sent to II Bostonan from a
member of Plummer's British Rho
desia force:
I'VE received the most alarming dis
patches at times, The Beers are like
tigers to fight, and all our men are
heartily sick OF the war
The Beers move like lightning, and
are never to be caught" ~

Edward Lewis, Of Taylor, employed
at the Allis-Chalmers company's shop,
was probably fatally injured yesterday.
while at work. A part of the crane on

broken. his right leg was fractured in
two separate places, and his right
shoulder dislocated.
He was taken to the Lackawanna

home. when it was found that his in
juries would probably prove fatal in
the end
