Rerlin, May 15.—The discussion of German-American tariif relations, since it became certain that the German government would not grant the most favored nation treatment to the Unit- ed States under the new tariif law, shows that the government's policy is strougly endorsed by the German peo- ple.

PROTECTION NECESSARY. Armed Deputies in Evidence on Chi. cago Streets. Chicago, May 15.—Busintss in the teaming line is proceeding on a larger Scale than on any previous day since the strike was inaugurated., Wagons move -along the streets with smaller police protection than heretofore.

Three hurdred and fifty came in dur- ing the day from Toledo, Cleveland and St. Louis.” Ice wagon drivers, who are demand- ing an increase in wages, eached a deadlock with employers. Nineteen ice companies, represented in a confer- ence with the Ice Wagon Drivers' un- ion, refused to promise the teamsters an advance of $10 a month.

Washington, May 15.—Walter ~F. Matthews of Portland, United States marshal for the district of Oregon, has been removed by order of the presi- dent. It is understood that this ac- tion was taken at the instance of the government's attorney in Oregon, who, it is said, believed that Mr. Matihews was not sufficiently in harmony with the prosecution- of land fraua cases now being conducted in that state. Cha#vs J. Reed has been appointed to succeed Mr. Matthews. Attorney General Moody had a con- ference during the day with the presi- dent regarding the successor to Charles B. Bellinger, United , States district judge for the district of Co- lumbia, who died Friday night. Judge Bellinger was to have tried the case of Senator John H. Mitchell and others iudicted for conspiracy to defraud the United States in ceriain land cases. No decision has yet been reached as to who will be appointed as Judge Bel- linger's successor. The situation in Oregon is peculiar. One senator and one representative are under indict- ment, They cannot be consulted, of course, as to the appointment. In view of the condition which exists it is quité probable that Judge W. H. Hunt of the district of Montana wiil be designated to try the land fraud cases. 1t may be some time bhefore the permanent successor to Judge Bel- linger is named. CASE.

HURRIED PREPARATIONS FOR DEFENSE LARGE REINFORCEMENTS FOR ARMY AND NAVAL FORCES IN FAR EAST. Paris, May 15.—The popular: out- burst at Tokio against France leads to settled convictions here that Japan has territorial ambitidns in Indo-China, ‘which the French must sooner or later defend. Although, the Japanese ofti- cials disclaim any ‘such intentions this belief has taken :firm hold of the French public and press, which unites in calling on the government to adopt energetic measures, strengthening the detenses of Indo-China and prepare for war which, it is said, will be inevitable when Japan’s hands are free from the Russian war. The government au- thorities, while not considering that trouble is imminent, share the public beliet that it is essential to make speedy preparation for the defense oi Indo-China and accordingly large spe- cial credits are being asked for, the ministries of marine and war are cou- sidering large augmentations of the forces in Indo-China and Admiral Four- nier is planning & chain of co fenses similar to those with whicl has encircled France. The admiral and representatives of the army and of the colonies will probably proceed to Indo-China shortly to personaily in- spect the requirements. EYEOPENER FOR THE POWERS. Japan’s Willingness to Assume Menac- ing Attitude Towards France. St. Petersburg, May 15.—The danger of serious complications over the ques- tion of French neutrality is regarded as over for the present. Throughort there has been a ‘disposition to make allowance for the zexation and tion manitestéd by Japan in the de: to safeguard her interests at a moment when the future of the war is staked upon the isswe of the coming naval battle. Nevertheless her willingness to assume a menacing attitude towards France upon the strength of the Brit- ish alliance is regarded as being an eveopener for the powers. Despite the provocative tone of the British press, however, the British govern- ment used its influence at Tokio in a pacific .direction. However, the harsi things said of France and Russi the British papers have so far as the Russian public is concerned proved to still further inflame the feeling of hos- tility against Great Britain, which b always been regarded as Russia’s arch enemy. Premier Balfour’'s speech in the house ot commons May 1] (on the deiense ot India) from this standpoint came at a particularly inopportune time and the comraents of some of the American papers which have been ca- bled here have also aroused some re- sentment.
