LONDON, December 14.--Great Britain
France and Italy have signed an arrange
ment, with the approval of Menelik, King OF
Abyssinia, for the maintenance of the in
tegrity Of Abyssinia, and prescribing the
common action Of the three powers in all
future contingencies concerning that
country.
Maintenance of the status quo and the
principle Of the open door are the object
of the agreement. The powers agree to
make no objection to the extension to
Adds Ababa of the present railroad be-
tween Jiboutil and Diredaoua.~ In the event
of circumstances arising to disturb the
status quo the Signatories of this agreement
undertake to do their utmost to maintain
the integrity Of Ethiopia, and to confer with
a view to safeguarding, first. the interests
of Great Britain and Egypt in the basin of
the Nile, particularly SO far as control OF
that river is concerned; second. 1taly's in
terests In Ethiopia, and especially the
hinterland of her possessions, and third,
the French possessions and the zones neces-
sary for the construction and working of
the Jiboutil-Addis Ababa railroad
Each power has the right to construct
railroads In its own sphere, and it is recog-
nized that each power shall have repre-
of directors.
Signed by the same three powers a second
agreement regulates the entrance of arms
and ammunition into the East African
possessions under their control. Each
power undertakes to exercise strict super
vision in this matter under the general act
of Brussels of 1890.

TRIED TO LYNCH HooE.
Mob Tried to Get Hartje Coachman
Before He Entered Prison.

PITTSBURG, December 14.-More than
Loco excited men and women besieged the
doors of the Allegheny county jail yester-
day noon and clamored for the life of Cliff
ford Hooe, the negro ceachman for Angus
tus Hartje, the millionaire paper manufac-
turer, convicted of perjured testimony in
swearing he had criminal relations with
his employers wife.
When Hooe heard the yells Of the crowd
he fell back Imply into chair, wept and
begged for protection. A strong force of
policemen was summoned and the crowd
beaten back, while Hooe was taken to the
penitentiary in patrol wagon.
Hooe was yesterday refused a new trial
and sentenced by Judge Robert s. Frazer to
pay a fine of $50 and the costs of the court
trial and to be imprisoned six years In the
western penitentiary of Pennsylvania. At
torney J. Wexford Holmes, one of Hooe' s
counsel, said that an appeal would be
taken.
Augustus Hartje. the libellant in the di-
vorce case said that he was not surprised
at the sentence. Mrs. Mary Scott Hartje,
against whom Hooe made sensational state
ments, said that 1t was but just that her
false accuser should suffer.
Attorneys for Augustus Hartje viii at
once take up the matter of an appeal to
the supreme court, which meets here in
April, from the decision handed down by
Judge Frazer yesterday, I'm which divorce
was refused Hartje. The appeal will be
based on the fact that the letters which
figured in the suit were not proved forger-
les, and therefore must be genuine.

HUGHES GUEST OF HONOR.
Control Of Public Service Corporation
His Tonic at Ranouet

ROCHESTER, N. Y, December 14.-Gov.-
elect Charles e. Hughes was the guest OF
honor yesterday evening at the annual
banquet of the chamber of commerce SEN
ator w. w. Armstrong of this city pre-
sided.
Mr.. Hughes. responding to the toast.
1.-The state Of New York." said in part:
1.-The earnes.ness which characterized the
campaign did not cease with its close. 1t
was not spasmodic or temporary. We must
take account not Of temoestuous waves
produced by passing storm, but of a. deep,
strong current. 1t is the steady. persistent,
resistless demand for the clearer recogni-
ton and better enforcement Of popular
rights
1.-The people are not content with tech
nical representation. One of the para
mount demands of the hour Is that those
who are elected or appointed to Office shall
recognize their responsibility to all the peo-
pie.
1.-THE great business of administration
must be conducted without bias, without
favor TO political friend. to campaign con-
tributOr, or to those who are mighty in the
world of commerce and finance.
Referring to the control of public service
corporations, he said:
What we have to deal with is not in
reference with private property, but abuse
of public rights. The people have a right
to insist, and do insist, upon good service,
upon reasonable charges, upon> impartial
treatment and upon a fair sharing of the
public burdens by proper taxation. They
demand that supervision of these impor-
tant activities should not be nominal. but
effective. and that whatever conditions or
regulations have been or may be imposed
shall be strictly enforced.
"They do not wish confiscation but they
will not tolerate efforts to make the public
pay dividends on watered stock. They are
willing to see legitimate business pay legiti
mate profit. but they insist upon being
fairly and ifnpartially served. They rightly
demand that their representatives should
be vigilant, fearless and capable in the de-
Tense of the public welfare against every
sort of aggression

while Jake StahI has rot yet been placed
for the coming season.
Collins Stays in Boston.
Boston is to keep Jimmy Collins. but the
erstwhile manager will have to serve in the
ranks. taking his orders from Chick stahl.
Jimmy says there is no one from whom he
would ra Their take his instructions. and
Chick says that he would rather have Col
Inns on his team than any other man he
could name. The Taylors, John /. and Gen.
Charles. are also well satisfied with the turn
of affairs and as a result this afternoon s
session was another one of reconciliation.
Jimmy Jackson was sold to Columbus for
81, 500. Altogether waivers were secured
on eleven American Leaguers. they being
as follows: Jackson Of Cleveland, Lindsey,
first baseman, and Morgan, third baseman
of Detroit; Coakiey. Schuman and Holmes,
pitchers, and Byrnes catcher, Of Philadel-
phia; Jack Hayden. oatfielder. and Goodwin,
infielder. of Boston; koehler. outf1elder OF
ST. Louis, and DIR. Newton, pitcher, Of New
York OF these Holmes goes back to the
South Atlantic League. Schuman to Little
Rock, Morgan to Montreal and Andy Coax
ley probably to Cincinnati.
The disposition of Jake Stahl still remains
a mystery. Boston wants him, and so do
Cleveland and Detroit. while Comiskey
would be willing to place him In his out
field. Cantiilon. however, seems to think
that Stahl possesses the ability of Lajoie.
Wagner and Fielder Jones all rolled into
one and wants the earth In exchange.
stahl Objecting.
StahI himself does not relish the way in
which he has been handled by Washington.
and for an hour he held a heated confer
ence with Cantilon. during the progress
of which Jake gesticalated rather wildly.
Not only does Stahl object to the summary
fashion in which he was deposed, but he
also objects to being handled now as a
mere chattel, thinking that he should have
something to say about whittier he will go.
About the only other transaction was an
order preventing visiting players from Sc
curing passes to games from any one eK-
cept through their own managers.
The schedule committee. which was not
appointed, will meet with the national COM
mfttee- consisting Of Ebbets, Dreyfus and
