AWAITING OPERATORs' ANSWER
Strike Quito Probable Unless They
 Agree to Arbitrate.

Scranton, Pa, May S,-To-night, the situation in the threatened miners strike. hangs on answers that are ex- pected to come to the proposal of arbi- tration from this mornings session of the miners committee.
 President Mitchell at the close of the session gave out the following state- ment:
 "The executive committee of the An thracite Mine Workers organization has proposed that all questions at is- sue between themselves and the an thracite mine operators be submitted to an impartial board of arbitration, such board to be selected by the indus trial branch of the National Civil Fed eration. This proposition has been sent to the operators by wire. The committees are now awaiting replies"
 The committee will meet again to- morrow morning at 9 o'clock.
 It is expected President Mitchell will have received some answer to the pro- posal of arbitration.
 It is the prevailing opinion here that unless the opera tors agree to arbitrate on or make some counter proposition which will contain substantial con- cession, the committee of miners will declare for a strike.

PHILIPPINE QUESTION,
AGAIN OCCUPIES THE TIME OF
 THE SENATE.
Mixed With Humor-Good- natured and Yet Sarcastic Arratgn- ment of MT. Carmaek by MT, Deliver -Ctvii War Events Quoted d to CondOne Crueities In fh 6 Islands.

Washington. May S.-Discussion of the Philippine bill in the senate to-day, while it scarcely abated in bitterness, took on an amusing phase. In breezy sneech Mir. Deliver of Iowa made such good natured and yet such a sarcas- tic arraienment of MT. Carmack of Tennessee that senators and occupants of the thronged galleries were convuls- cd with laughter. While, seemingly considerable temper was aroused by the debate good feeling was shown by the active participants in the war of words MT. Deliver and MT. Carmaek-who cordially shook hands and laughed over the encounter.
 MT. Burton of Kansas concluded the speech which he began yesterday. He referred as instances of atrocious cruIety. to the battle of Wounded Knee, to the Mountain Meadow massacre and to the massacre of union soldiers at Fort Pillow and contended that the action of American troops in the Phil ippines was in most instances, entirely W1ltl1n lHe reg ol rIiN'AANSN "SNA fare.
 In response to some statements made yesterday by Mr Tillnlan, MT. Vest, or Missouri delivered forceful and ef- fective speech and made an historical contribution with reference to the Hampton Roads conference between President Lincoln and Confederate leaders.
 MT. Carmaok delivered a scathing de- nunciation of the conduct of affairs in the Philippines and denounced General Smith. branding him as "scoundreF' and a murderer" who has dishonored the American army and had done noth- ing but butcher q whole people. In a sarcastic response MT. Deliver, of Iowa, scorchingly arraigned Mir. Car mack, incidentally reading an editorial from the Memphis Commercial Appeal criticising the Tennessee senator's att titude on the Philippine situation. MT. Carmacks reply was of such nature as to cause him to be called to order ! for statement refecting upon Mir. Deliver, but the incident ended in good feeling.
