FRENCH DIPLOMAT STRIVING FOR
CONClLlATORY POLICY BE-

nY ASSOCIATED PRISE.

Paris, Aug. 5.-Baron d d'Estourncllcs dc
Constant, who headed the French parlia-
meniary arbitration group on its recent
visit TO London, has written an important
letter to Foreign Minister Dclcassc, set
ting forth the results OF the recent ex-
changes OF views in London and Paris be
tween members Of the British and French
members OF parliament and the leading
ministers Of the two governments.
The conferences included those with
Foreign Minister Lansdpwnc and Colonial
Secretary Chamberlain. and there is good
reason TO believe that Baron II d'Estournollcs
in the references he makes in his letter
10 the conclusion OF an arbitration treaty
for the settlement OF the outstanding
Anglo French difficulties has the distinct
approval Of those controlling Great Brit
aims foreign policy, while his suggestion
for a reduction Of naval force is due en-
trcly to the initiative OF the leading mem
bers Of the British ministry.
Fear Is Dispelled.
The letter says that during 20 years the
fear OF opposition alone has prevented
the sentiment OF the Anglo-Frcnch diff
cultes, and now that that fear is dispelled
nothing prevents the adoption Of a CON
clliatory policy
All the British statesmen whom he saw,
without distinction Of party, says the
baron, were unanimous in desiring their
suggested new policy which must he
clearly defined, as the former one was OBJ
scure.
The new policy has three essential OBJ
jects:
Frst-The conclusion Of reasonable
arbitration treaty, similar to that negoti-
aied between Great Britain and the United
States, and in accordance with clause 10
OF The Hague international convention.
Reduction In Expenses.
Sccond-A reduction in the oyerwhelm-
ing naval expenses in agreement with
France and Russia, concerning which the
baron claims to have received categorical,
verbal and written assurances.
Third--h friendly settlement Of the out
standing differences for which 20 years
have vainiy exhausted the resources of di-
plomacy.
Baron d'Estournelles urges Minister
Delcasse not to let this favorable moment
slip by and declares that with equal good
will on both sides these three general
agreements with Great Britain can be
signed in few months.

Geat Falls, Aug. 5.-Wallace p. Coburn

loss OF dime. Had they not arisen from
their seats in Montana Central car last
night, they would have been plowed to
bits by the Great Northern flyer, which
crashed into the rear end Of their car a

Coburn, who is known as the cowboy

bought some candy of the news-butcher

A dime slipped between his fingers and
fell to the floor, 1t began to roll. Stewart
gave chase. The elusive coin kept edge
up and rolled almost the entire length OF

When the train had stopped the crew re-
traced their steps They found y great
hole in the track. The cowcatchcr Of tho
engine had been blown 200 yards aud the

pect at Chestnut has been released and the
detectives now believe the work is that of
