Another Plea for Peace.

ule Arguelles and Lieut.. Jose Bernal OF
the staff of Gen. Antonio Luna, return
ed here today to renew and press the
request of Gen. Luna for a cessation OF
hostilities. They have found the field
of labor most uncopgenial one. The
two officers were received in conference
by Malice Il. :. Otis. The proposals
which they had TO submit differed but
slightly from those which they brought
from the Filipino commander in the
first place. They desired little time
i'm which to summon congress, and ex-
pressed themselves as being confident
that the congress will decree peace, be-
cause the people desire 1t. They repre-
sent Aguinaldo | without power to
surrender the army. and that the con-

FOR GRAND JURY.
Freeman and West Arraigned on the
Charge Of Larceny.
They Were Successful in Obtaining Watches
From Young Women.

Daniel w. Freeman, alias Albert w.
Davenport, and George w. West, the
young men who were arrested yester-
day on the charge of larceny from some
young women of watches, rings and
pins. were arraigned in the Sixth dis
trict court today.
The method OF these young men was
TO ingratiate themselves into the good
will and confidence of young women
and by airy representations and what
is known as ''taffy' induce their vic
tins to let them take watches and rings
to be repaired free of cost TO the own
ers.
They met with much success. judging
from the many complaints lodged by
the deceived maidens, and yesterday
they were corralled.
Detective Parker located some of the
property. ascertaining that the Jung
men had shrewdly avoided the pawn
shops and borrowed from newly found
friends by giving the articles as coll
lateral security.
That they are not new to the conduct
OF criminal courts was evidenced by
their pleas, which were identical in
language and Indicative of a knowledge
OF the customs OF Massachusetts tribu-
nails Freeman was charged with the
larceny OF a watch valued at $50. the
property OF Marion Gilmore, and West
with the larceny Of n watch and chain,
valued at $27, which had been obtained
from Annie Giblin. Each said; II
plead not ggilty; / waive examination
and / requ,gt a lawyer
Both were bound over 20 the grand
Jury i'm $500. The detectives say that
the young men are wanted In Boston
for offenses similar to those charged
against them here.

Another Conference.

The ENJOYS will see Gen. Otis again
tomorrow. They viii sleep tonight In
Manila. They lunched with Gen. Mac
Arthur at his headquarters on car
of the armored train at Calumpit be-
fore coming TO Manila.
Whether or not Gen. Luna Is sincere
in his overtures, the negotiations are
giving the insurgents a much needed
opportunity to rehabilitate their de-
moralized forces. The truth is that
dissensions among the leaders of the
rebels is helping on the disorganization
OF the Filipino army almost as mucn
as the American campaign.
In the course OF the conference with
the Filipino ENJOYS, Gen. Otis agreed
with the statement Of Major Arguelles
that the people of the Philippine Is
lands wanted peace, and he added that
requests for protection are pouring in
upon him from all parts OF the country.

THE WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION
ACT IN GREAT BRITAIN

y CURIOUS law point, which has just been de
| cided by Scotch court in a arising under
the worlnen's compensation act has had the
effect OF revvng interest in the ITSELF and accord
ngly the public is receiving good deal OF informa-
ton concerning the effects OF the law which has now
been in operation about year.
The case under discussion is worth noting as an
illustration OF the rehnements Scotch Judges can put
upon the teclnicalities OF law. AS it comes to us
the story is this: A shipbuding firm in Glasgow
built the hull Of steam vessel and after she was
launched towed her to public dock twenty miles
away near an engine building establishment (having
no connection with the shipbuders) to be fitted with
engines While the engines were being installed an
employee OF the engine builders with an accident,
in consequence OF which he lost the sight OF his right
eye. The question whether, under the new law,
the engine builders the shpbuilders were liable for
damages. After argument and reargument before
the Scottish Court OF Appeals decided that the
shipbuilders were liable and judgment given
against thenl-the injured being awarded
eighteen shillings week compensation.
The Judge who gave the decision is reported 20
have stated that the injured workman had never
been directly in the employment of the shpbuilders
they never paid him any wages and he not en-
poyed upon the vessel while she was in the ship
building yard at all Nevertheless in ac-
cordance with the Interpretation put upon this extra
ordinary piece OF legislation, feel myself shut up
to the conclusion that it is the shpbuilders and not
the engineers who must compensate the man"
An act which compels Judges to such decisions as
that may we'll be characterized as IAN extraordinary
piece of legislation, and it is surprising to learn
that in many other respects it has perpexing results
Some OF its effects have been undoubtedly good
Since they responsible for all injuries to
their workingmen the employers OF Great Britain
have been careful in the selection OF employees
and more cautious about permitting them to take
risks That policy, however. has been injurious to
many woringmen for it is noted that there has been
something like wholesale discharge from work
shops Of men who either by of age deafness,
near sightedness defect of body are more
liable to accidents than the average worloingman
The conclusion appears be that the law is on the
whole beneficial one, but that it will have to be
amended in respects to fit to the complexities
OF modern industrial life At any rate there is GER
tanly injustice in that leads to such decisions
as that reported from Glasgow
