the propositions of the workers and the
employers coming to some agreement
without the direct aid of the arbitra-
ton commission.
Basis of Settlement.
A 10 per cent advance in wages, a
nine hour day, and. trade agreements
between the anthracite miners and the
companies by whom they are employ
ed-this is the. rough proposition adj
yanced by the operators and accepted
by the miners as the basis of a settle.
ment of differences outside the strike
commission.
Seeing the hearing before the COM
mission would drag out to an inter.
minable length, both sides Cor the
lawyers for both sides) have agreed
to make the attempt to settle differ.
ences by agreement outside the com
mission on a compromise basis and
leave such matters as could not be
agreed upon to the commission, thus
Fastening the final settlement.
The lawyers for the operators laid
down a tentative schedule, dealing
with every demand of the miners ex
cept the demand for the weighing OF
coal. This will have to be settled by
the commission. The commission will
lingly assented to the plan proposed
1t was agreed last night by the min.
ers' representatives and the attorneys
for the coal companies, who held a
long conference, to ask the commission
to adjourn today until Wednesday
December 3. The miners leaders re
gard the move for a direct arbitration
as victory.
Either Side Can Balk Plan.
While both sides have expressed
willingness to settle their differences
among themselves. it is not to be con,
strued that it carries with it the accep.
lance of the terms proposed. They
are mentioned only as q basis from
which a settlement is to be effected
1t is possible that the foundation al
ready laid can be wrecked by either
party holding out against some ques
ton, and thus leave the whole matter
in the hands of the commissioners, who
in the meantime, will act as sort oil
a board OF Cancellation, rather than as
a board of arbitration.
Commission Adjourns.
The commission was in session to-
day for twenty minutes. In declaring
adjournment Chairman Gray an
nounced that Commissioners Watkins
Parker and Clark would remain in
Scranton during the adjournment for
the purpose of taking up any matter

sponded the chief q can assure the board that I can't spare man, not a single man, by which he did not mean an unmarried man, ''and we have not the money to pay two supernumer- aries. Supernumeraries are paid $2.50 a day while the regulars are paid $2.25 for six months and $2.50 for the en- suing six months.' The chief agreed with the board that there ought to be detective bureau and he was satis- fled with the appointments to it, but he could not spare the men at present. He said there are complaints coming in every day from certain portion of the second ward, the avenue district and he has been studying how he could put two men up there every afternoon. The board appeared to be under the belief that the chief could appoint supernumeraries. but the chief said he could only when a regu- lar happens to be laid up or is tempo rarily off duty. But this was not the case here. In response to Commis- sioner Taylor's question the chief said he had no ideaof how Lieutenant Dodd's place at the desk nights could be filled. Commissioner Hardie thought the work ought to be divided between the three sergeants, Pagan, Blakely and Cahey. This appeared to
 be the idea of the board also. The chief replied that any of them and all of them were competent to do the work, whereupon Commissioner Har- dies motion that the duty be divided between the three sergeants by the chief was carried. Commissioner Reeves then made a motion to permit the chief to appoint two supernumer- aries to regular patrol duty until the funds to pay them runs out. This seemed a popular motion, but it seem ed to strike the board that it would be better to withhold action and it was accordingly withdrawn, whereupon the adjourned until next Tuesday evening"

AMATEUR THEATRlCALs.
Performance Exceeded the Anticipa-
 lions of Audience.

lions of Audience.
 It is not often that an audience is so well pleased and delighted with anna teur theatricals as was the large au- dience which witnessed the production of the operetta, "F'lorinda," at Leaven- worth hall last night under the auspices of the First Church Mission circle. The audience had expected much, yet the performance last night exceeded their anticipations. The hall was scarcely large enough to accommodate all who wished to see the play. The stage presented a pretty vision, decor ated profusely with palms and potted plants. It can truthfully be said that another great success in amateur the- atricals in this city was accomplished by those persons, who enacted parts in last evenings fair. Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon the performance
 The curtain raiser was in the nature of one act farce, "A Slight Mis- understandings This was presented by Louis NJ. Heminway and Miss Mar garet Granniss. The former portrayed the character of one Jack Ludlow, a young benedict, while Miss Granniss was Louise Ludlow, his wife. Miss Granniss was winning and captivating and charmingly graceful. Mir Hemin- ways acting was one of the delights of the evening. It was remarkably good.
 Entrancing and pretty was the ale act operetta, '.Florinda.' The cos tunes were beautiful and the stage setting pretty The different parts were portrayed in a manner worthy of professionals. The acting of the Misses Wilson, Mullings. Chapin, Brown. Barber Hyde. Whiting and Mrs Benjamin wno for them many favorable comments. The bands of gypsies' and fairies contained pretty and attractive young ladies who look ed sweet in their queer costumes. The cast of characters was as follows: E1orinda. . Miss Zu1ette Wilson Fortuna. ... Miss Minnie Aullings Vala. Miss Chapin Yoringa1. Miss Leonie Brown
