MIGHT ATTACK ON wARSHlPS
AFTER HEAVY COMMANDMENT
FLEET WITHDREW.

Portland. Me. Aug. 26.-There has
arisen tonight a difference o. opinion and
claims between the army and navy Off
Gals as To the attack made by Admiral
Barkers fleet this morning on the forts
commanding the entrance 10 Portland har-
Dor, and in view of this there has been
uncertainty as TO whether another at
tack would be made tonight or not Ac-
cording to tho rules laid down for the
conduct Of the war game, the fleet IS
allowed to make one DAY and one night
attack The question IS, was the attack
made before or after daybreak2
The army officers say that although
the vessels directly after midnight at
tempted TO land men. vet they did no
firing from the ships, and after the land
ing parties were repulsed. no regular at
tack WAS made by the Sims themselves
until after daybreak. II was understood
tonight that the navy officials claimed
they made a night attack in addition 70
the landing parties, and that there was
no response to their attack With the
difference of opinion between the two
branches the time OF the next attack is
uncertain.
However. the army officials relying on
their belief that a day attack had been
made after daybreak are in readiness for
night attack at any moment. Or
ders were issued for the men to turn out
at 1880 in anticipation Of such an at
tack.

ARBITRATION,
CANCELLATION
Five Grievances Decided by the
Board Yesterday.
COMPANY GOT ONE DECISION
MEN GOT THE LONG END oF THE
OTHERS.
COMPANY GOT ONE DECISION

New York. Aug. 26.--The board of
Cancellation, which opened considera-
ton OF several matters in dispute be-
tween the anthracite coal miners and
their employees yesterday. continued its
session today. The FIVE questions that
were to be submitted 10 the umpire,
Carroll D. Wright, have now been gone
over fully, and the papers in the case
are IN his hands.
During the afternoon the board dis
posed Of I'VE grievances. One was the
case of Martin Delaney, contract
miner, who complained that the phil
adelphia e. Reading company violated
its agreement. The board found for
the company. On Delaney's complaint
that the company had loaded coal
mined by him during the strike, Tor
which he claimed to have received no
credit, an investigation as to the facts
was ordered.
on the complaint of George Robin
son. engineer OF Ileisinger e. Co. that
he had not received the advance grant
ed BY the strike commission. the board
directed that he receive an advance Of
11k per cent.
Another complaint was that of the
employees OF Leisinger & Co. that they
were worked ten and one-half hours
and receive but nine hours pay. On
THIS complaint the bodIu auoPACu nc
following resolutions:
I'm the case OF inside employees at
the Oak Hill colliery of Beisinger &
Co. the dinner hour shall be taken as
desired by the company but If the
employees ara required to work during
the dinner hour in addition to the nine
hours work they shall be paid extra
compensation therefor"
Another resolution adopted during the
afternoon was as follows:
Resolved. That It is the sense of
this board that Leisinger & Co. be re-
ouested to use a detachable receipt in
connection with their pay statement"
This action was taken because the
men complained that the statement to
them previous TO pay day, showing
the work they he'd done and the amount
due was on the same piece of paper
as the receipt and had to be signed
by them, leaving no evidence in
their hands. The board will meet again
tomorrow.
