ARBITRATION PROPOSED State Senate Acts on the Strike Situation. Legislators Propose the Ap pointment of a Committee of Seven to Solve the Mining Difficulty. In the state senate yesterday Mr. Vaughan, of Lackawanna county, pre sented the following preamble and resolutions, which were unanimously adopted and sent to the house for con currence: "Whereas, The miners of the anthra cite region through their organization, the United Mine Workers of America, have requested the coal operators to meet the national president of their organization, their national board and officers of Districts 1, 7 and 9, to mutual ly agree upon and establish a scale of wages for tho term of one year; and "Whereas, In the resolution adopted by the Ilazleton convention of the United Mine Workers it is resolved that in the event of the failure of their officers to secure a joint conference they may by a majority vote decide the policy of the movement of the United Mine Workers, even if it is necessary to resort to a suspension of work to en force the justice due them as producers of wealth fully equal with their employ ers; and "Whereas, If a suspension of work or strike takes place it will be a calamity to the people of the anthracite region and may be the cause of great expense to the state: therefore, be it Resolved (if the house of representa tives concur), That a committee, con sisting of throe members of the senate and four members of the house of rep resentatives, be appointed to confer Immediately with the anthracite coal operators and with the officials of the United Mine Workers of America to endeavor to bring about an amicable solution of the difficulties now existing between tho operators and the miners, said committee to report as soon as possible and to serve without expense to the state." OOI> NEWS AT SCR ANTON. Scranton is filled with rumors of an immediate conference between the mine operators and the executive officers of the United Mine Workers. The manner and speech of leaders at the United Mine Workers' headquarters conveyed the assurance that a conference or some equally favorable turn was about reached. News had been received from President Mitchell on which the hopeful opinions of a conference were based. TO SEE J. p. MORGAN. Ilazleton will be represented by Father Phillips and A. T. McAllister at the con ference between J. Pierpont Morgan and committees of tho Hoards of Trade from that city, Pottsville and Wilkes barre, in the former's office, in New York, in reference to an amicable settle ment of the threatened anthracito coal strike. These committees, acting on bohalf of tho business interests and the public at large throughout tho coal fields, expect to effect an adjustment of the difficulty satisfactory to both opera tors and the mine workers. THE WORK IN NEW YORK. The Tribune is reliably advised that tho visit of President- Mitchell and the three district presidents to New York will likely come to an end tomorrow. While the eyes of tho country have been upon J. I*. Morgan and his offices, a great deal of work has been performed In other directions. Evory day is plac ing the necessity of a strike further away, and whon the officers of the union deem it a proper time to make known wiiat they have so far accomplished they will receive moro credit than the people are at present roady to accord them. On Friday there will be a meeting at WUkesbarre, which will be attended by a number of men prominent in the order. New Rules for Base Ball. A number of changes have been made in base ball rules for the coming season, some of them being as follows: The catcher must stand close to the bat The stomach controls the situation. Those who arc hearty and strong are those who can eat and digest plenty of food. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure digests what you eat and allows you to eat all ; the good food you want, if you suffer from indigestion, heartburn, belching or any other stomach trouble, this prepara tion can't help hut do you good. The most sensitive stomachs can tako It. Grover's City drug store. Ice cold soda at Keiper's all the time; the first two fly fouls not caught are called strikes if the batsman has no strikes charged to him prior to making the fouls; an unfairly delivered ball will not be counted against the pitcher: a batsman will not be per mitted to take his base on being hit by a pitched ball, but it will be counted as a ball against the pitcher; the umpire is authorized to call a ball on the pitch er if he holds the sphere in his hands for SO seconds without delivering to the bat; a ball is called also if the pitcher throws the ball to any player in the field except in an attempt to retire a base runner. All these rules are made to lessen the time of the game. Clerks' Union Prospering. The strongest union in Freeland in proportion to the number of people who are eligible to membership is the or ganization formed a few months ago by the retail clerks. The few who took hold of the movement to improve the condition of this class of workers have labored energetically to build up a strong association, and so successful were they that at the present time every eligible person in Freeland is an active and enthusiastic member, with tho ex ception of tlie employes of onu store. One of the iirst matters to receive at tention from the union has been early closing. The members have at several meetings discussed the question, always keeping in view their employers' in terests and the convenience of tho patrons of Freeland business houses, as well as their own desires, and they have linally selected upon an hour to close which they expect will meet with the approval of all the interested parties. At a meeting which was largely at tended last evening in the Municipal building, the union decided to petition the merchants today to agree to close every evening at 7 p. m., except on Mondays and Saturdays. The new rule is to go into effect on April 15. A strict observance of Sunday is also a part of tho proposed regulation. There is a strong sentiment among the employers in favor of early closing and but llttlo, If any, opposition to the petition of tho clerks is anticipated. The clerks also have the support of tho United Mine Workers and other local labor organizations In their efforts to make their daily tasks more congenial. People on the Move. Among the changes In residence which will soon take place are tho following: John McKinley from South to North Contro street, Reuben Ivresky from North Centre to Pine street, and Joseph VVadllnger from Chestnut street to the house to be vacated by Mr. Ivresky.

Lewis Snyder, of Butler valley, will remove to Huzleton next week to assume the position of agent for the Yuengllng Browing Company. Bros. Royer in "Next Boor." The famous Ilrothers Royer, who arc to appear on Saturday evening at the opera house, in the acrobatic farce frolic, "Next Door," are said to be the greatest pantomimic and acrobatic actors In the world. It is difficult to class their entertainment under any particular title, but "spectacular com edy" seems to (it it best. It is a novelty in its lino, and there Is nothing ulsu quite like it on the road. The panto mimic and spectacular features are prominent, but there is an abundance of farce comedy, in the line of laughable acrobatic (oats and grotesque dancing. Tho trick scenery is wonderful. Tho lirst thunderstorm of the season passed over this vicinity last evening. The heavy downpour of rain toro up tho streets In many placos, and the How of water Into tho mines interferes with work at several of the surrounding col lieries.
