onposed to Double-Headers.

Springfield. Mo, April 13;-There was
commotion in railroad circles here yes
terday when it was learned that
grievance committee had been appoint
ed by the trainmen of the Frisco Rail
road company to wait upon General
Manager YOakum at ST. Louis and pro-
test against so many trainmen being
thrown out of employment by reason of
the double-header system, which has
lately been introduced by the officials
of that road. II is claimed the railroad
company has inaugurated the double
header system, by which cars enough
to constitute two freight trains are
made up into one train, and that in this
way one crew does the work of two,
and consequently, a large number of
men have been thrown out of employ
ment. 1t is said that on the Springfield
division alone there have been eight
freight train crews laid off within the
last ten days by reason of the intro
ductiOn of this system.

Complied Wit

New York, Sept. IA special to the
World from Ithaca, n. ", says:
Your correspondent is able to say on
authority that the Schurman peace
commission offered every possible in
ducemcnt short of absolute self-gov-
eminent to Aguinaldo and his follow
ers. Aguinaldo was promised, as the
price for the restoration of peace in the
Tagalos tribe. a bonus of more than
$4,000 year while the Tagalos re-
manned peaceful. He was told that he
could choose men from his tribe for
the minor municipal offices. The COM
mission went so far as to promise
Aguinaldo the moral support of the
United States government, if such
were needed, to make his leadership
of the Tagalos thoroughly secure.
With all these inducements, tempt
ing as they must have been, Aguinaldo
declined to yield. He insisted upon i'm
Mediate seif-government. and us his
insistence was so firm as to make an
agreement impossible, the American
commissioners ceased negotiations.
President Schurman was frank in
telling your correspondent a day or
two ago th:'t he favored giving to the
various tribes the largest possible
measure of home rule at the earliest
moment. He thought that several
tribes could administer their local af-
fairs. elect their municipal officers, es-
tablish courts and penal institutions,
a judiciary. etc, but he did not be-
licve it possible to allow the natives
to participate in the general govern
ment. How could they govern the
island in view of the heterogenity and
multiplicity of the tribes?" he asked.
