BELIEVES LATTER COUNTRY HAS
TERRITORIAL AMBITIONS
IN lNDo-cHlNA.
HURRIED PREPARATIONS FOR DEFENSE
LARGE RElNFoRcEMENTs FOR
ARMY AND NAVAL FORCES
IN FAR EAST.

Paris, May 15.-The popular. out
burst at Toxic against France leads to
settled convictions here that Japan has
territorial ambitions in Indo-C China,
which the French must sooner or later
defend. Although the japanese Off
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
defenses 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
belief that it is essential to make
speedy preparation for the defense OF
lndo-China and accordingly large spe-
cial credits are being asked for, the
ministries of marine and war are con-
sidering large augmentations Of the
forces in Indo-China and Admiral Four
nier is planning acclaim of coast de-
fenses similar to those with which he
has encircled France. The admiral
and representatives Of the army and
of the colonies will probably proceed
to Indo-China shortly to personally in
spect the requirements.

Japan's Willingness to Assume Menac-
ing Attitude Towards France.
st. Petersburg, May 15.-The danger
OF serious complications over the ques-
ton Of French neutrality is regarded
as over for the present. Throughout
there has been a disposition to make
allowance for the yaxation and irrita-
ton manifested by Japan In the desire
to safeguard her interests at moment
when the future of the war is staked
upon the issue of the coming naval
battle. Nevertheless her willingness
to assume menacing attitude towards
France upon the strength OF the Brit
ish alliance is regarded as. being an
eyeopener for the powers. Despite
the provocative tone OF the British
press, however, the British govern
ment used it's influence at Toxic in
pacific direction. However, the harsh
things said OF France and Russia il.
the British papers have SO far as the
Russian public is concerned proved to
still further inhame the feeling Of hos
tility against Great Britain, which has
always been regarded as Russia S arch
enemy. Premier Balfour's speech in
the house OF commons May j Con the
defense of India) from this standpoint
came at a particularly inopportune
time and the comments of some OF the
American papers which have been ca
bled here have also aroused some re-
sentiment.

GERMAN OPINION OF IMPENDING

UNITED STATES.
PRESENT AGREEMENT is UNPOPULAR
ALL PARTIES APPROVE POLICY
OF DEMANDING RECIPRO.
CAL TREATMENT.

Berlin, May 15.-The discussion of
German-American tariff relations, since
1t became certain that the German
government would not grant the most
favored nation treatment to the Unit
ed States under the new tariff law,
shows that the governments policy is
strongly endorsed by the German peo-
pie. No political party and no news
existing status of trade with Am erica
Most of the moderate organs OF pub
lie opinion insist that the policy OF
former Chancellor Won Caprivi of lay.
Ing upon American goods the same du-
ties as on the goods Of treaty coun-
tries which secured reductions only by
making corresponding reductions OH
their imports from Germany could un-
der no circumstances be continued.
Along with such discussions there is
complaint at the fact that the United
States buys only half as much from
Germany as Germany buys from the
United States. This is attributed to
the high tariff duties and it is asked
that the United States reduce it's du-
ties to something nearer the German
level.
Whether Germany's new policy to-
wards the United States will lead to
tariff war is a question discussed in
the German press with varying views
according as the writer's are support
ers OF the government or in opposition
to it. Some of the opponents of the
new tariff law condemn it as likely to
lead to a tariff war with the United
States and the danger of such result
is widely recognized and the desire to
avoid such an economic war is general
and even intense. Already it is in
sisted here that if tariff war follows
the fault will not be Germany's, since
the German government stands ready
to make a reciprocity treaty with the
United States.

CON BENCH WILL NOT DE
FILLED AT PRESENT.

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. 1t is understood that this ac-
tion was taken at the instance of the
governments attorney in Oregon, who,
1t is said, believed that Mr.. Matthews
was not sufficiently in harmony with
the prosecution, Of land fraud cases
now being conducted in that state.
Charles j. Reed has been appointed
to succeed Mr.. Matthews.
Attorney General Moody had 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
indicted for conspiracy to defraud the
United States in certain 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 quite probable that Judge w. H.
Hunt OF the district of Montana will
be designated to try the land fraud
cases. 1t may be some time before
the permanent successor to Judge Bel
lin2er is named.
