STKlKE MAY COON DC SETTLED. upcrators Havs Agreed to Appeintmcnt of a Commission to Be Named by President Roosevelt to Adjust Differcncee.

The commission is to consist of an army or navy engineer officer, an expert mining engineer net ccnnecte-l with coal mining properties, one of tho judges of the United States courts of the eastern district of Pennsylvania, a man of prominence, eminent as a sociologist, and a man who, by active participation il? mining and selling coal, is familiar v/ith the physical and commercial features cf the business. | The opciwtors also make as pait of their proposition that the miners'shall return to work as scoi.*?. the commission is constituted, ami cease ail Interference with non-union men. The commission is to name a date when its findings shall he effective, and to govern conditions of employment between tho companies and the'r own employes for at least three years. MITCHELL IS RETICENT. Has Nothing to Say Regarding Operators' New Proposal. Wllkecbaire, Pa., Get. 14.?President Mitchell, of the Miners' union, refuses, point blank, to talk for publication at this time on the new proposal for arbitration cf the strike laid before Picsident. Roosevelt last night by the presidents of the coal carrying railroads. No official information cam do had as to his views and he himself dees not know whether be will maka a statement later in the day. The news of the new offer was varl ui,ai.Y iccrivttf i>y xrro rtrwintc miners of tho region. It did not become known until well in tiio morning and there were many diffeicnt views taken by the men. There are a number of mine workers who favor a rejection of the offer as formulated by tho operators, while there are equally as many who see some rood in the offen The miners, however, have great confidencce in the Judgment of their leader, and it is certain they will leave the matter iu his hands to work oiit. The citizens of the region generally are rejoicing at the new turn of atfaiis, ar.d feel confident that the step just taken by the operators will result In much good, if not a speedy settlement of the great conflict. Comparing President Mitchell's offer made to the president of the United States ten days ago with that of the operators made last night, there are many persons who look upon the operators' offer as a counter proposition and believe that the mtners will treat it as such. Mr. Mitchell's offer to the president was that he should appoint the commission. The operators go that fnv ar.d a step farther by stipulating that the members of the commission mud be selected from various occupations of professions suggceted hv the r-rkm panics. Tills shows that many miners were against the plan, because no recognized representative of the workmen is included in the operators' suggestions, unless he can he selectej under the head of "A man of paomiI nencc, eminent as a sociologist." Objection is alca expressed to clause j 3, which, the strikers say, limits the president of the United States to se; leet a judge from about four men. In j fact, the element against the latest i olfer of the operators pick ffaws in ' every clause of the new offer. Those i in favor of the plan feel tlrat Presi( d'^nt Mitchell should accept it and trust to President Roosevelt to make j the board or commission a? impartial an it is in his power to do under the I conditions laid down by the cpeiators I : They do not favor a counter proi>o.?i- i ; tion as is being suggested by those 1 against the latest plan on the ground j i that it would do no good and would j ! cause public sentiment, which the ; j minors think is with thc-m, to turn i toward tho operators, j The best judgment of those wno : have been associated with President Mitchell through tho strike, men who have watched his every action and talked with him privately, is that the arbitration plan is unsatisfactory to him. Owing to the tremendous pros* sure being brought to hear on both sides to end the contest ts the fact that the m-ine leader will waive his objection and advise that the proposition bo accepted. Tho three district presidents are not here, but they are on their way to this city. They will hold a conference Immediately after they all arrive. There Is some talk that a joint convention of the three anthracite districts may be called and tho whole matter Jald before the miners themselves. The situation, summed up briefly, 's still mixed, hut the outlook for an ending of the strike at no very distant date Is regarded as lvopefu^ PcRV M-V- 1 bsi& , * rVv,\ A - J]\ ta$rs4? V< .

Regards Same Most Important Issue Which Should Not de Overshadowed by Any Other.?Democracy Face to Face With Important Opportunity. New York, Oct. 1 '.?To a representative of the New Yevk Evening Post, who asked him as to his views in rogjird to the outlook for and the duty of the Democracy in the approaching congressional elections, former President Grover Cleveland said: "it seems to me tirat if the Democracy is leally in earnest it cannot fail largely to increase its representation In the next congress, but in order to do so, I think there must be a constant and stal'vai t Insistence on the things which are rc< ognized by ail to be tine Democratic doctrines. Of course by far the n;c st important of these is the tariff reform. On this issue, I am suih llcJ that the Democracy is fare to tace v/ith a great oppor tunity. All of I lie sig..s of the times point to :i recognition, iar ocyond ail party Hnr:\ of the benefits which would accrue to the people by a readjustment of the taiiff and it will be wo.se than felly for the party under the rtress of any temptation cr yielding to any allurement to permit this to be subordinated to or overshadowed by any other issue." "The pi> seut restl' ssn-css in Republican circles on this cibject, often amounting to protests against Republican protective theories, should watn the Democracy of the pending danger. I mean by this the possibility that our opponents may crowd us from our p> gltion on this subject if we allow them to do so by cur lukevarmnes? and ladifference, and to occupy our ground Just as we pe;mitted them to crowd us from the ground that belonged to us on the question of sound money. "I am very much pleased with the deliverance of the New York Democracy on tho tariff issue, and It was fit and proper that the Empire state should sound the right noto.

It need hardly be said that the success still depends upon presentation of tariff doctrine, not only recognized as truly desired by these who may be' termed veterans in the party, but also commending itself to tha hosts of the younger men of our land.
