AGREEMENT REACHED.

Washington, Jan. 25--An agree
ment has been reached between Sec
retary Root and the British and Ca
madam and New Foundland govern
mepts through their representatives,
on the New Foundland fisheries boun-
oaIy question, to be submitted to The
Hague court for arbitration.
The agreement reached early this
morning followed a protracted confer
ence Sunday night.
The fisheries dispute has been the
subject of diplomatic negotiations and
treaties for many years. In deciding
the controversial points The Hague
Tribunal will have to pass on import
ant questions as to whether state or
colonial laws or regulations may in
terfere with the terms of the treaty.
The latter question has confronted
the administration in a most perplex-
ing way in the Japanese school ques-
tion and threatens to become an i'm
portant factor In case the bills now
pending before the California legisla-
tire, affecting Japanese, become laws.

Of his speech, the governor referred
to the admission OF New Mexico to

burst of enthusiastic applause. "The
admission of the territory is now only
question of time," he said, "and if
the bill does not pass at this session

at the next session" He declared
that with the admission of the terri
tory to the Union, the financial string

would be thing Of the past. AS the
governor concluded his speech he was

Set of Ruffians Throw Stones anc
Use Vile Language.

Albuquerque, JAN 25.-On Saturday
evening Father J. Tomassini, the aged
pastor of the Sacret Heart church
was stoned and otherwise disrespect-
fully and outrageously treated by a
band of good-for-nothing boys. The
latter were engaged in blisterous play
III the immediate vicinity of the church
and were disturbing the worshipers
within the church by their shouts
and utterly obscene language. Faith
er Tomassini, who is S5 years old
went outside to demonstrate and in
sist upon having quiet. The result
was a TRADE of abusive language, fol
lowed by the throwing of stones at
the venerable prelate. The matter
has aroused geenral Indignation and
the authorities will be called upon to
punish the ocenders, who have been
guilty also of constant previous dis
turbances.
