Will Welcome British Fleet in Baltic
YATES.

London. Aug. 3.-The forthcoming visit
of a British fleet to the Baltic sea ap-
pears more than likely to mark the be-
ginning of more cordial relations between
Germany and Great Britain, instead OF
as has been suggested in some quarters
adding TO the friction now existing. The
proposed visit was known to the Ger
man foreign office months ago and sug-
gestions that objections to il were raised
by Germany were unfOunded. Ernest
George PrettYman, secretary to the ad-
miralty, today, in reply TO questions, said
definitely that no protests regarding the
visit of the fleet had been received
Friendly comment on the pending cruise
from German Baltic ports creates the be-
lief that il will help along King Ed
wards desire for good relations between
Germany and Great Britain. and the an
nouncement of Emperor Williams support
of the candidacy of Prince Charles Of
Denmark for the Norwegian throne is
accepted as an indication that the Ger
man ruler proposes to work In the same
direction.
The report is revived that Emperor VII

latter's forthcoming trip TO Marienbad.

BRITISH PARLIAMENT.
Discussion of Foreign Policy in the
Commons.

London. Aug. S-The session in the
house of commons this afternoon was
taken up with a discussion of the foreign
policy. Earl Percy, under secretary for
foreign affairs, said that under the pres
ent circumstances it was impossible to
discuss the changes in the far east that
might be brought about by the war or
changes that might be desirable to intro
duce in the Anglo-Japanese alliance when
it was thought right to renew it. He
noted with satisfaction that all agreed
upon the desira biiity of renewing such an
state OF Europe presented no cause for
anxiety Reverting to the far east. he
said IL was true that while Great Britain,
IN common with other countries, was los
ing trade In China, Japan's trade in that
country was increasing Efforts We're be
ing made to obtain fresh markets in the
interior, he continued. and China had
promised. If the Chinese were unable to
finance the proposed railway through the
Tantze valley to the Red stone basin i'm
the province of Szechuan, to apply first
to British and American capital to
built IL Great Britain, he said, was now
negotiating with France for the Joint con-
struction of the line.
In connection with the statement OF
earl Percy in the house Of commons yes
terday afternoon concerning Great Brit
aims foreign policy, which is the subject
of considerable satisfaction in the editor
ials this morning on account of it's re-
assuring view as to the relations of Great
Britain with Europe generally as well as
on account of the evidence that Japan's
pre-occupation in a great war does not
prevent her rapid commercial growth. the
Associated Press understands that nego-
uations for the renewal of the AnglO-Jap-
anese alliance have progressed a deal fur
Their than was indicated by Earl PerCy's
guarded allusiOn to it. 1t is believed. in
fact, that little remains 10 be done beyond
signing the new instrument.
The motive for Earl Percy's reticience
was a desire to avoid parliamentary dis
cusSlon on the subject while peace m ~
stations were proceeding Sir Charles Dill
Ike, who initiated the discussion. intima ted
that a renewal of the Anglo-Japanese
alliance would be warmly supported by
the Liberal party.
1t is said that Japan has recently given
further considerable orders for Khaki

RECEIVED STOLEN GOODS
George A. Ford, Of Sioux Falls, Under
Serious Charges.

Sioux Fails, $. D.. May 1.-The trial
OF the case OF the state against George
y. Ford, a local retail liquor dealer,
now in progres in his city, is being
watched with considerable interest.
The defendant is under indictment on
the charge of having had stolen prop
erty in his possession. .
The suit against him grew out OF
n daylight robbery which was COM
mitted IN this city one day last sum-
nler. when the pawnbroking establish
ment of John Agrant was robbed OF a
considerable quantity of jeweiry, In
GLIDING watches and hains in addi-
tion to n sum of money. The bulk OF
the stolen property was afterwards re-
turned.
Agrant claims that the stolen prop
erty passed through Ford's hands. The
defendant was indicted by a grand
Jury which was in session in his city
last December. and the trial of the
case has been eagerly looked forward
to since that time.
Every point is being stoutly con-
tested. Ford is making every effort to
clear himself. while the prosecution
appears equally as determined to Sc.
! cure a conviction, If possible.
