A FEW FLAWS
"But We Cant Expect to Get Every

thing We Want"
Scranton, Pa, Oct. 1.-THE miners
who would discuss the arbitration plan
at all to-day were generally adverse to
it's acceptance, but as in all other
things, satisfied to do whatever Presi-
dent Mitchell thought best, There was
a strong hope prevalent among the
people at large that President Roose-
welt would show Mr. Mitchell that des-
pite the limitations regarding the selec-
ton of the arbitration commission, a
fair. just and impartial tribunal could
be selected, and that Mr.. Mitchell
would be induced to favor the accep-
lance of the proposition by an assur-
ance from President Roosevelt that he
would see to it that the miners inter-
ests would be cared for in the select
ing OF the commission.
There is no denying that a quiet
feeling exists among a good proportion
of the strikers favorable to acceptance
of the proposition. even though it is
not all that the United Mine Workers
would have it to be. AS one miner
put it, We've been asking for arbi-
tration. Now we've got it, There may
be some few flaws to the proposition,
but we can't expect to get everything
we want"

Tell Their Represk natives What
10 Do When Ii Cones to- show
DOwn-Mr. MitchSH Has Kept His
own Counsel and SAid Nothing I'm
til He Was spoken 30.
Wilkesbarre. Pa. Oct l5.-The ex-
ecutive board members of the three
anthracite districts of the United Mine
Workers of America will hold a joint
meeting here at 10 O'Clock tomorrow
morning to consider a proposition for
ending the strike, which President
Mitchell will lay before them with a
view of calling a delegates conven-
ton of the striking mine workers to
pass upon it. The can twas sent out
this afternoon as al result of tele-
phonic message sept by Mr.. Mitchell
after his conference with President
Roosevelt at Washington.
1t is difficult tonight to say what
the outcome will be, but one thing
seems to be sure, and that is that con-
siderable progress Is being made to-
ward an end of thesstruggle.
No one here knows the exact nature
of the proposition Mr. Mitchell brings
back with him from the national capt.
tai. and it is probable no one will know
it excepting the three district presi-
dents, and National Secretary and
Treasurer Wilson until the strike lead
er lays it before the three boards.
There is a general belief that a con-
vention will be called no matter what
sort of proposition is laid before the
boards. Some of the miners are of the
opinion that Mr.. Mitchell may have
offered a compromise proposition by
which the operators and miners would
have equal representation on an arbi-
tration commission. AZ great majority
of the rank and file are still opposed,
like most of their board members. to
accepting the operators proposition as
| they now understand it.
The joint conference Tomorrow will
| by made up of thirty-seven persons.
! Those who will be present will be Mr.
Mitchell, National Secretary and
| Treasurer Wilson, who arrived here
| to-day; the three anthracite members
| of the national executive board, the
| president, vice president, secretary and
! treasurer of each district the seven
| board members from each of the up
per and lower distrfats and the six
i board members of the middle district.
If convention is held it win prob
| ably be called together within four
| days. About 800 delegates would be in
| attendance. Mr.. Mitchell, following
| precedents, will be elected president,
with Mr.. Wilson, if he remains in the
| East, acting as secretary.

FIGHTING ON ISTHMUS.
Government Has Lost 24T Men ana
the RevoIutiOnists $40.

Willemstadt. Island of Curacao. Oct.
15.-News has reached here that the
battle near La Victoria, Venezuela, be-
tween the forces of President Castro
and the Venezuelan revolutionists,
which began Monday morning, has so
far been without definite result. Only
a portion of the revolutionists was en-
gagged. The government has lost 241
men and the rebels $40. The govern
ment cannot obtain reinforcements
from Caracas, as thc German railroad
from there to Valencia is in the hands
of the enemy. The fighting was resum-
ed yesterday.
Gen. Matos. leader of the revolution,
and Gen. Mendosa were not present.
The only rebel generals engaged were
GupeVara, Torres, Crespo and Antonio
Fernandez, who had with them about
3.100 men, representing the advance
guard of the revolutionists.
President Castro twice led charge
in person and showed great courage
and GOODNESS. His lieutenant. Gen. AL
cantara, who was at one time at the
West Point Military Academy. was
mortally wounded.
The arrival at the scene of battle
at o'clock Monday afternoon of Vice
President Gomez and 500 men, with a
large amount of ammunition saved ,.he
situation for the government. At that
time the odds were largely against
President Castro. but the arrival of
reinforcements improved his position.
Monday night the revolutionists still
retained their positions. The fight
started again Tuesday, and at 10
o'clock in the morning Castro retired
to LaVictoria. At l o'clock the fight
ing ceased on both sides.
News of the engagement having
reached Gems. Matos and Mendoza,
they fastened TO the scene, and ar
rived at a point near LaVictoria yes
terday with the rest of the revolution
airy army, which now numbers about
5000 men. The reinforcements under
Matos and Mendoza intended to take
part i'm tbs renewal of hostilities 20
! day.
President Castro appears to be sur
rounded by his enemies. The town of
Ell Consejo, which lies back of La
Victoria, is occupied by the revolutions
| lists.
Valencia is believed to be doomed
The town was attacked by Gen. Riera
| on Monday and Tuesday.
Those who were wounded in the
fighting are still without medical as
sistance or care. They lie on the bat

STRANGERS WE'RE PRESENT.
Conference With Mr.. Roosevelt Held
by MIR. Morgan's Partners.

by MIR. MOrgan's Partners.
Roosevelt tonight resumed considera-
ton of the strike situation. taking it
up in the light developed as the result
of his two conferences during the day
with Mr.. Mitchell, president of the
Mine Workers Union. He went out for
a long drive after those conferences
and on returning. met Carroll D..
Wright, commissioner of labor, and
Mr. Sargent, commissioner of immi-
grafton. Later two strangers to those
about the temporary White House,
called and were shown up stairs at
once. 1t was reported that these men
were Robert Bacon and G.. w. Perkins,
members OF the banking firm of ]. P.
Morgan & Co. The conferences with
the four men lasted from to s o'clock,
when the President went to Secretary
Hays for dinner.
About 10 o'clock President Roosevelt
returned to the White House, accom-
panied by Secretary Root, and they
Immediately re-embarked on consider
alton of the settlement of the coal
strike. Later a stranger called an
swering to the description of one of
Mr.. Morgan's partners. At IL 80 o'clock
the three men were still engaged in a
discussion of the situation. The state
ments made by Mr.. Mitchell were can
vassed. While nothing was made pub
lie, the feeling seems to prevail in adj
ministration quarters close to the
President, that Mr.. Mitchell is too stiff
in his position and too insistent and
that matters have been so shaped that
he should accept the concessions that
are open to him

ROOSEVELT OUT SOCIALLY.
First Society Tour of the President
Since the OperntiOn

Since the Operation.
Washington, Oct. 15.-President
Roosevelt went out socially tonight
for the first time since the operation
was performed on his leg at Indianapo-
lis. 1t also was the first time he had
walked in public. His leg apparently
has recovered a large measure of it's
strength and he no longer has to use
crutch. No limp is observable. The
President after his conference with
President Mitchell went out for drive
through the suburbs. 1t lasted about
two hours. About 8 o'clock he left the
temporary White House on Jackson
Place and walked over to Secretary
Hays, where he had accepted an invi-
tatiOn to dine informally with a few
friends.
The two houses are about a block
and a half apart. The President re-
manned at the Secretary's until nearly
10 o'clock, returning afoot. Apparently
there was no difficulty in his move
ments, though his pace was not rapid,
as is customary with him.
