THEY HAVE AGREED TO AGREE
Roosevelt Peace Is Assured
in the Far East.

Official assurances that the presi-
dents efforts to bring Russia and Jap
an together to discuss peace will be
crowned with success was brought to
the White House Monday by Count
Cassini. the Russian ambassador, who
called by appointment and in the name
Of Emperor Nicholas formally accepted
the presidents offer of good will. The
following official statement regarding
the conference was issued at the White
House..
Ambassador Cassini has called to ex-
press the Russian governments assent
to the presidents proposition and to
say that they would appoint plenipo-
tentiaries to meet the plenipotentiaries
of Japan to discuss the question of
peace. The place of meeting is at
present being discussed. -
During the past two weeks the presi-
dents efforts have been directed to-
ward mutual agreement to consider
terms Of peace. This he accomplished
finally Monday. 1t remains now for
the belligerent powers to name their
plenipotentiaries and agree upon a time
and place for them to meet to discuss
terms and to negotiate a treaty of
peace. These "details are now under
consideration, with bright prospect
that such minor differences as may ex-
ist will be resolved within few days.
Conferences Of supreme Importance
were held Monday in Washington. The
blue room of the White Huose was the
scene, and President Roosevelt, Count
Cassini and Kogoro Takahira, the Jap
anese minister, were the principal COLI
ferees. President ROOSEVELT now has
unequivocal assurances from both Rus
STA and Japan of the acceptance of his
proposition that they enter on negotia-
tions for peace.
The president is likewise assured of
the absolute sincerity of both govern
ments in acceding to his suggestion.
Japan was the first of the two powers
to indicate its acceptance of President
Roosevelt's proposition. The formal
response to his identical note of Thurs
day last was received from the Japan
csc government Saturday. Infolm al
assurances Of acceptances of the presi-
dents suggestion were received from
the Russian government a little later,
but the assurances from st. Petersburg
were not Of the same definite character
as had been received from Toxic.
Early Monday Ambassador Meyer,
at st. Petersburg, informed this gov
eminent that Russia had accepted the
presidents proposition and would name
representatives with plenary powers to
meet plenpotentiaries of Japan. While
satisfactory, the response of Russia
was not in the same definite form as
that of Japan. 1t had been the expec-
tation of the president to publish to the
world the replies of the two govern
ments to his identical notes, but under
the circumstances this could not be
done.

it. The fishermen collect with care
all those gelatinous masses which
contain the spawn of fish and, after
they have found sufficient quanti-
ty, they fill with it the shell of a
fresh hen s egg, which they have
previously emptied, stop up the hole
and put it under sitting fowl. At
the expiration Of a certain number
of days they break the shell in
water warmed by the sun. The
young fry are presently Matched,
and are kept in pure, fresh water
till they are large enough to be
thrown into the pond with the old
fish. The sale of spawn for this
purpose forms an important branch
of trade in China.

Umpire Declared the Jersey
City Team Victorious Over
Buffalo by a Score of9-0
ALL THE RESULT OF A ROW
Sailors Beaten BY Royals and
Toronto BY Grays-- Clubs
Standing.
ALL THE RESULT or A ROW

The Bisons jumped on Umpire Has
sett yesterday before the game with the
Skeeteas had progressed two innings, with
the result that the umpire declared the
game forfeited to Jersey City by the
regulation score Of nine to nothing. A
great crowd of disgusted fans, including
number of Jersey City Elks, who are
attending the Elks' Convention in Buff
falo, We're obliged to leave the ground
after having been treated to mere
scrap between an umpire and several
Buffalo players, instead of a ball game.
The trouble started over the umpire's
decision over doubtful shoot upon
which he called strike on Mattress, of
the Buffalo team. Mattress struck the
umpire, who quickly recovered from the
blow and snatching his mask from his
face made dash for Mattress, who ran
away and was chased by the umpire
across the diamond. Several Buffalo
players who approved the assault on the
umpire tripped him and one Of them
struck him in the face while he was
down. For some peculiar reason of their
own policemen took the umpire from the
field and allowed Mattress to remain.
Hassett resented this injustice and re-
appeared on the field. Manager Stall
ings beckoned to the police and again the
umpire was removed. He stayed long
enough, however, to declare the game
forfeited to Jersey City. The skeeters
refused to play if Mattress was allowed
to remain. Complaint is likely to be
lodged by Hassett with President Pow
ers of the Eastern League concerning the
man who punched him when he was help
less on the ground.

TWELFTH'S FIREHOUSE

A delegation from the Twelfth Ward
Improvement Association, headed by
Secretary Fred. Bugasch and Finance
Commissioners Quinn and Daudt, attend
ed last nights meeting of the Board of
Fire Commissioners and discussed a site
for the new fire truck house for the
northern part of the Hudson City sec
tion. Mr.. Bugasch said the sentiment
of the people of that section wanted the
fire house located as near as possible to
the city line. Graham street was sug-
gested, but it was decided that Graham
street was too narrow for the turning
of the truck. 1t was decided that the
Fire Commissioners and Directors
Quinn, Daudt and Brock of the Finance
Board, who will have supervision of the
erection of the new truck house, make a
tour of the section within a few days
and examine the most available SITES
They will also go to Newark for pointers
on the construction of modern and up
to-date fire houses.
The Board last night transferred Rob-
ert H. Trip. driver of No. 10 Engine
to Hook and Ladder No. 5, as tillerman,
and John A. Green, hoseman of No. 9
Engine, to No. 10 Engine as driver
