THE FILIPINO
COMMISSIONERS
Hold a Conference With the
Members Of the United States
Commission.
SAY THEYARE WITHOUT
To Elnd the So.Callcd Filipino
Govcrnmcnt...Must Refer Ne.
Gotiations to Aguinaldo.

MANILA, May 22-The Filipino COM
mlssloners who arrived here on satur-
dny to negotiate with the United States
commissioners held conference this
morning with Messrs. Schurman, Wor-
cester and DENLY. They say that they
are without power to bind the so-called
Filipino government in any particular
and can only refer any results OF the
present negotiations TO Aguinaldo.
The Filipino commissioners with their
families, spent to-day in visiting friends
In Manila and conferred with Senores
Florentiro Torres. Pablo Ocampo and
Teodore Yanco, the members of the 10
cal Filipino association who will par
ticlpate in the meetings with the Amer
lean commissioners.
Senior Torres was n member OF Ag-
uinaldo's commission before the war.
He opposed Independence and favors
autonomy and he has been most intlu-
entail In persuading the followers OF
Aguinaldo to make the present ad-
Varces. Autonomy IS the burden Of the
tdlh VI tile FliplHOS, uIiu II IL lIlouSHt
the Kind they wish for would be little
different from the scheme of an Amer
lean protectorate which they talked OF
before the war.
Senior Palermo. who has succeeded the
irreconcilable Mabini rs president OF the
Filipino cabinet, Is student and q
writer. He once drew up plan OF
autonomy under Spain which. the Span
ish government promised to adopt. there
then being a troublesome rebellion on
foot The American commissioners In
studying the question of Philippine gov
erntnent have found several good
points in this scheme. Paterno Is now
the strong man In Agulnaldo's party.
All the moneyed leaders of the insur,
rection see that 1t Is hopeless and are
anxious for peace. Those who want
money think they mag profit by har-
rass!ng the Americans n while longer.
On the suggestion of Mr.. Schurman,
president of the American commission,
the local Filipino peace party has start

BUFFALO STRIKE.
Matters in Little Better Shapc-It Is
Probable That the Men will Go Back
to Work Within the Next Forty.
Eioht Hours

to Work Within the Next Forty
Eight Hours.
BUFFALO. n. Y. May 21.-Every-
thing was quiet along the docks to-day
vand very few of the striking grain
scoopers and freight handlers were to
be seen In the nelEhborhood of thelr re-
spective headquarters.
President Keefe, OF the International
Longshorcmens' association. who ar
rived in town shortly after midnight
this morning, held several consultations
with the strikers committees, but ut o
late hour tonight he was unable to
give an expression of opinion ,as to
what the outcome of these conferences
would be. Mr Keefe said that he would
not be surprised II the men We're all
back TO work within the next forty
clcth hours, providing that the contrac-
tors lived up to the concessions made
by them abollshlng al! the abuses COM
plalneG Of with the exception of the
abr0gGtion OF the contracts.
That the men themselves have lost
confidence In some members OF the COM
mlt.ces was clearly proven at the meet
ing OF the freight handlers held last
night. when the voice of the entire
meeting was In favor OF returning TO
work In consideration Of the promised
abolition Of ohIccuoEal bosses and
unnecessary Sunday work, the demand
for an Increase OF wages being waived.
To-day committee from these men
waited on Bishop Quiglcy and he re-
ncwcd his advice given three days ago
for the men to return to work.
50, far as the freight handlers are
concerned their differences practically
nre ended and the men. will probably
re turn to work Tomorrow. The scoop
ers have been advised TO do likewise.
and the majority Of them are In favor
of taking Bishop Quigley's advice. Some
Of their leaders talked of making In
dirldual contracts for the unloading
OF vessels and working elevators. but
this was declared TO be lmpractlcable
and impossible by some OF the most
prominent elevator proprlctors to-day.
When the news OF the action taken
by the Chicago board of trade was
made known on Friday the strikers
became jubilant. but now they see that
Instead OF lake line managers, lake car
ricrs and elevator representatives spl!t-
ting up they nre more sOlidly banded to-
geiher than ever. These interests are a
unit on the question OF retaining the
contractors, and say that II the men
DO not return to work Immediately their
places win be filled by outsiders and
that the same concessions will never be
again offered TO them.
Some Of the monthly men returned TO
work to-day. Two full shifts are back
In the city elevator. which was in oper-
alton to-day, as were also the Great
Northern, Marine, Erie and connecting
Terminals.
Harvey D. Gouldcr, attorney for the
Like Carriers Association, attended
the conference Of the Chicago dclcEa-
tlon to-day. Before he returned to
Cleveland tonight he expressed him
self MS satisfied that the strike would
soon be over

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi. May 21.-Af-
ter Sabbathl devoted to church going
and preaching and three popular meet

and Sabbath observance the Presbyter-
ian general assembly will tomorrow
begin weak of hard work. The rou-
tine subjects to be considered to-mor-
row are the reports of the boards Of
freedmen and education. The principal
interest attaches to the former because
of the vigorous effort that has been
made to raise the boards $4,000 debt.
It is hoped that by tomorrow night
the debt will be raised and the freed
mems board put on par with the other
boards In financial condition.
THE question of reduced representa-
tion will also Come up Tomorrow. Tho
