The story was plain. The dory mates,
fishing from Banks schooner, had been
lost, probably for days, in the fog-a
common enough accident there.
The dory allowed to meet us. We
drove along her gunwale, knocking the
piece of deal from the steersman's
hands. In less time than I'm taking

We pulled back to the ship with only

AGREEMENT REACHED.

An agreement has been reached be-
tween the Secretary OF War and the rep
resentstives of the Catholic Church in

Der of important matters OF controversy,
which will obviate the necessity of pro-
longing threatening vexstious litigation.
Regarding the landed properties, the
agreement provides that the Roman
Catholic Church, through the Archbishop
of Manila, shall possess in absolute title
the land and property pertaining to the
Hospital of San Jose, the Hospital of
IAN Juan de Dios, the College. of San

demands upon the estate Of Santa Poten-
ciana, and upon the hospital and fOunds-
ton OF san Lszaro, except that the arch
bishop is TO retain possession of the block
in which the present Santa Cruz Gene
terv is situated aud of 80 hectares north

JAPAN AND AMERICA.

Admiral Baron Ysmamoto, one of
Japan's naval experts, yesterday met for
the first time President Roosevelt, the
man who, more than any other man,
was responsible for the conclusion OF
peace between Japan and Russia, after
a prolonged war, during which Admiral
Yamamoto was Japan's minister OF
marine.
In a private conversation the repre-
sentatiyes of the two countries discuss
ed the cloud which has been lowering
over the long-lasting friendship between
Japan and America, and each expressed
the opinion that it was merely passing
shadow, and one which could in no way
reach a climax that would shake the
confidence each country has had in the
other since the day Commodore Perry
induced the Tokogawa Sbugun to open
the island empire to communication
with the outside world.
Admiral Yamamoto, in these converse
tions, repeated the statements which he
has made on several occasions since he
arrived in New York, that any feeling
that there might be in Japan because OF
occurrences on the Pacific coast was di-
rected solely against the people of that
section of the country, and that there
was no possible chance OF this feeling
reaching a point where trouble between
the governments would be possible.
Admiral Yamamoto and the members
of his suite said that yesterdays meeting
had done much TO brush away any posi-
blityof misunderstanding between the
two countries.
The following official statement regard
ing the visit to Oyster Bay was later
given out there by Secretary Loeb:
"The President had long interview
with Admiral Baron Ysmsmoto, and 1t
was most satisfactory in every way. 1t
simply confirms what had already been
made clear by Ambassador Aoki) the
thoroughly good understanding between
the two governments and the fundamen-
tai frieudliness between the two nations"

Great excitement vas caused at Mt
Elliott Springs last Sunday ny the sud-
den appearance of FIVE bears that had
come down from the mountain TO feed
in the truck patch of the hotel. Bears
are frequently seen in the mountain
forests near Mt. Elliott, but it is rare
indeed that q whole family should come
down so boldly into the settlement.
When discovered the wild animals were
quietly feeding on the young corn in the
truck patch just north of the gardeners
house. They were frst seen by two
young ladies OF the hotel who CHANGED
to be strolling up the road. At frat
they we're taken for lot OF black hogs,
but on closer approach the young ladies
we're horrifed to find the animals were
wild bears-two full grown and three
cubs. The ladies in great fright ran
screaming back to the hotel and gave
the alarm. Chase was given, but the
bears, as much frightened as the young
ladies, made their escape to the noun
tains. Lewis Woods, without gun or
other weapon at hand, pursued them
into the brush hoping to capture cub.
This he would have done, bot when
within easy of bis prey, the mother bear
turned IN him 80 fercely that he had to
abandon the chase. = Staunton Specta-

A GOODSHOT

There is an old Confederate soldier
now visiting some friends in Greenbrier
county, W, Va, who was a holy terror
in battle. He was shot from way back.
He came to the reunion at Richmond
and stopped of. Among his fests ofmark-
manship the following simple exploits,
we are told, are performed. He can sus-
pend bottle by string, shoot and cut
the string, and then break the bottle
with another shot before it hits the ground
With small calibre gun and a large
lead pencil he can knock the lead out
when the pencil is thrown'int the air,
and not irjure the wood covering. A IA
vorite pastime with him is to start a
barrel rolling down hill and put bullet
through the bung hole every time the
barrel turns over. We call this good
shooting. Staunton Spectator.

BALTIMoRE's DEATH RECORD.
Report for 1907 Will Show Largest
in City's History,

BALTIMORE, December 26.-The an
nual report of the health department. the
statistical part Of which Is now being
worked out, will show that the deaths in
Baltimore during 1907 exceeded the record
for any previous year in the history Of the
city. Present indications are that the
total deaths for the year will aggregate
about 1f.200, as against a few more than
10000 in 1906.
The death rate will be heavier because
of what the health department says has
been normal increase In the city's popu-
latfon. The death rate for 1907 will be
based on a population of J65 GO people,
as against 541. 600 for 1905
BY an arbitrary rule Which the depart
ment has always been obliged to follow,
an increase of Z per cent is added to the
population every year. This rule will place
the population of Baltimore at 6O4,5UO in
1908, which will justify recent claims that
there were fully GOOO0 people In Balti-
more. Health Commissioner Bosley be-
l1eves this estimate to be about correct
We have larger and greater city here
than most people think" said Dr. Bosey
yesterday afternoon, land | don't think
there is a healthier place in the country"
An increased number of deaths for the
present year will not mean an unhealthy
city. 1t simply means that we have a
greater number of people here than ever
before. Eleven Thousand deaths in a
population, of 100000 souls is not such a
bad record Baltimore has increased by
leaps and bounds since the fire In Feb
ruary, 1904. This is a fact that nobody
viii dispute. The increased demand for
dwellings and apartment houses shows
IN itself that We are growing"
