Buffalo. n. Y, May 13.-rhe meeting
Of the advisory committee of ten, Of
which Bishop Quigley is the chairman,
which was to have taken place last
night at the bishops residence to con-
slider the grain shovelers' strike. was
postponed until 10 o'clock this morn
ing owing to the illness of two men,
bers of the committee, eX-COngressman
Mahaney and President McMahon, of
the grain shovelers' union. 1t was
generally expected that plan would
have been formulated by which a
reconciliation between the scoopers and
the Lake Carriers association could be
effected, and the delay has proved a
big disappointment to those who are
working for settlement of the trouble.
The strikers have steadfastly asserted
that they would not agree to any terms
or concessions made by the employers
except they were accompanied by an
absolute wiping out Of the contract
system. On good authority it is stated
that the scoopers must concede some
thing. and it is not only possible, but
very probable that they will agree to
accept the terms offered by the Lake
Carriers association.

The inherent fighting qualities OF

the articles of their leaders. Their
superstitions are played upon by CIV
ing them amulets. Some Of these have
the likeness of Aguinaldo engraved
upon them, and all promise immunity
from death to the credulous wearers.
Those who are killed, OF course, are
past complaining; those who escape
death have their faith in the talisman
confirmed They are desperate fighters,
after their own fashion, and compass
marches on rations insufficient to keep
an American soldier alive. An occa
