AN ACT OF POLITENESS
Conference Assemblies Simply to Please
the Czar.

London, May 20-The correspondent OF
the Post at The Hague telegraphs as fol-
lows:
"An eminent member of the peace con-
ference says it is simply an act of polite
ness to the czar and will yield no practical
result, simply because 1t cannot. The pow
ers, he asserts, are too disunftad and watch
each other too closely to arrive at any un-
derstanding in their programme. His pre-
diction is that there will be long discus
sion and then 'irst-class burial of the
czar's proposals.
The Daily Telegraph's correspondent at
The Hague says
"The craftsmanship of the arbitration Sec
stion has been offered to and accepted by
Sir Julian Pauncefote, who with the dele
gates of the United States and several
minor power will insist upon a permanent
court of arbitration. which will be the
great success of the conference
M. De Bloch, author of the work which
Inspired Emperor Nicholas with the idea
Of the conference, tells the Daily Chronicle
that the results will be amply satisfactory

PEACE ON ANY TERMS
The Insurgents Are Anxious to Quit
Fighting

New York, May ia dispatch to the
Herald from Manila says:
Definite peace propositions from the
Filipino government are imminent, If the
rainy season does not set in within ten
days and make further military operations
impossible, should the insurgents still
prove intractable
1.-The purpose of the Filipino leaders to
give up the struggle against American au-
thority was made known by two delegates
of the Filipino peace commission, who re-
manned in San Isidora when 1t was captur-
ed and surrendered to Lawtons advance
guard.
"In conversation with American officers
they state that the Filipino officers have
been for the last four days willing to Sc
cure peace on any terms that General Otis
might see fit to offer. They declare that
General Lawton, by his rapid and energetic
advance from Balinag, has not allowed
their forces a moments cessation from
fighting. The commissioners gave as their
best information that Aguinaldo himself
will sue for peace through the peace COM
mission within two days. If he does not
so act the Filipino government will
promptly repudiate him, four-fifths of
the natives are weary of the war and de-
sire the early ending of hostilities.
1.-THE Filipino congress voted on May
to name a peace commission, which, as
finally made up, consists of Buencamino,
Del Pillar. Arguelles, Torres, Pamphrenos,
Paterno and Herrera. These delegates had
intended to proceed to General Lawton's
headquarters to begin negotiations for
pacific settlement, but the American attack
on San Isidro caused them to take flight
to the northward. The two who remained
here and surrendered assure the Americans
that the others will return to San Isidro
tomorrow to carry out the original de-
sign.
at is stated that Agulnaldo fed from
the town the day before yesterday. He Is
now reported to be at Cabanaluan. eighteen
m les north of Isidro."

REPUDIATED AGREEMENTS
Grain Shovelers Want Abrogation of
Corners Contract

Buffalo, N. Y, May 1s.-The grain show
elers tonight adopted resolutions repudiat-
ing all agreements made with the Lake
Carriers Association and demanding the
unequvocal abrogation of the contract with
Mr.. Corners.
The striking freight handlers at their
meeting voted to ignore the advice of Bish-
op Quigley, in which he urged them to re-
turn to work under the terms granted by
the Associated Lake lines at the confer
ence this afternoon.
The action taken at these two meetings
tonight, it is thought, will end for some
time to come the negotiations which have
been in progress for over two weeks to
bring about a settlement or the dock trou-
bles.
The grain shovelers will refuse to make
any further proposition to either the Lake
Carriers or to the contractor and as the
Lake Carriers some days ago decided T.
withdraw from the conflict, the indications
are that the strike will be permitted to
wear itself out

CrOker'S Acquaintance With the Unprin-
Clpled Undertaken.
OLD QUESTION OF SEWER PIPE
Investigated, Together With the Con-
nection Between Contractors Sup
ply Co. and City Departments
Very Little Information.

New York, May 19.-The feature of to-
days session of the Mazet investigating
committee was the unearthing of an al
legged system of corruption in the disposi-
ton of dead bodies from a city hospital,
a ghoulish tale that was well corroborated
and replete with detail. BY several wit
nesses 1t was stated that an undertaken
named Marren Illegally secured the funer-
ais OF all bodies taken to Harlem hospital
and that he was enabled to do this by
bribing clerks in the employ of the city to
break the rules. 1t was also shown that
apparently an acquaintanceshlp existed be-
tween Marren and Messrs Croker and Car
roll
A large number of witnesses were called
and multiplicity OF subjects were touched
upon during the examination.
Croker Objected
The old question of sewer pipe and the
connection between the Contractors Supply
company and the city departments was
gone into, but the only apparent important
point eMcited was that Richard Croker had
objected to his sons going into this con-
Germ when he learned that it intended to
supply city departments.
James A. Mahoney, the bookmaker was
the first witness. Mahoney declined to say
whether or not a full page story in the New
Herald, describing him as the pool room

Tuesday or Wednesday to organize and to
arrange their procedure.
Perfect Harmony Prevails
The opinion of majority of the delegates
seems to be that the general scheme to be
presented to the conference tomorrow has
been conceived in a broad and liberal spir-
1T, and the result of this mornings meet
ing of the delegation chiefs is regarded as
demonstrating the good will and conciliato-
riness of all the delegates, as we'll as a
common desire to facilitate the labors of
the conference. Perfect harmony has pre-
vailed thus far regarding all questions
brought forward.
At tomorrows session M. De Staae will
read the replies of Emperor Nicholas ard
Queen Wlhelmina to the dispatches sent
to their majesties at the opening of the
conference, after which he will deliver an
important speech upon the work of the
conference, and will propose the adoption
of the general scheme arranged this morn
ing.
The various delegations met this after
noon to assign their members to the grand
divisional committees.
Tomorrow's sessions and all subsequent
sessions will be secret
