KAISER'S HAND
BELIEVES TIME HAS COME FOR
MORE CORDIAL RELATIONS.

German Embassy in London UnoGlcialiy
Announces This Readiness for Recon-
cTiatlOn--War In the East Has Changed
the European Political situation.
Special Cabls Despaieh 10 The SUN.
LONDON, March 27.-The Chronicle claims
10 have the authority Of the German En-
bassy 10 London for the announcement that
Germany IL ready for a reconciliation With
France II the latter Is willing. The paper
says:
Germany is quite prepared 10 forgive II
France will forget. The Kaiser desires TO
enter into the closest friendship with the
republic
A high member Of the Embassy, whom
interviewed on the subject. said:
THE moment Is ripe for a better under
standing between the two countries, and
on the side Of Germany no difficulty need
be felt at arriving at an understanding II
France il willing. We have long wished
for Il. The whole political situation has
entirely changed within the last twelve
months, owing to the Russo-Jnpancse war.
For some time past Germany looked upon
the Franco-Russian alliance as a more
or less aggressive alliance against herself.
We may have been mistaken, but 1t was our
finn conviction. We had TO look the situa-
ton souarely in the face, for we were con-
fronted by a very powerful combination.
Now a change has taken place. Russia
IL she wished, could not possibly go TO
war with us for years 70 come. France,
! am sure, does not desire 70 war with us.
Without any offence TO French self-love,
| think that even the most extreme Chau-
whist must realize that the chances OF a
successful war against Germany have
lessened since the active cooperation Of
Russia is no longer to be counted on
The speaker disClaimed any idea Of in
sinuating that France contemplated war
against Germany. He added that the latter
had for a long time wished for an improve
ment in the relations. but 1t was hardly
possible for her to make overtures while
the Franco-Russian alliance had to be
reckoned with, inasmuch as such over
lures would likely have been ascribed to
expediency instead Of to the sincere desire
for friendship, which alone actuates Ger
many.
The relations with France at the moment
are excellent. Perhaps they we're never
better since the Franco-Prussian War.
Prince Henry Of Prussia is going to France
to see the automobile race for the James
Gordon Bennett cup. This will be the first
time since the conclusion Of peace that n
Prussian Prince has visited France officially.
Referring to Germany's interests in
Morocco and the KaissT's forthcoming
visit to that country, the member Of the
embassy declared that the visit would be
wholly unpolitioal, although possibly 1t
would be Of commercial significance. Ger
many only asked for the open door in Mo
rocco. II France granted this she would
be satisfied.

owner, was cleared up yesterday forenoon

Detective Sullivan took them TO Tif-

Mrs Clark said that they we're at Palm

remember seeing the glasses after that
Mr.. Clark commended Jordan for his
honesty Jordan replied that he had
found many valuables in cabs, but always

NO THIRD RAN FOR BROOKLYN.
lttletOn Denies the Application OF the
Long Island Railroad.

An application by the Long Island Rail-
road Company to be permitted to dig
necessary trenches for the installation Of
the third rail on the surface of Atlantic
avenue, from Atkins avenue to the borough
line, a distance OF eighteen blocks, was
denied by Borough President Littleton
and Public Works Commissioner Bracken-
ridge yesterday.
President Lift 'eton declared that while
he had the power to stop it, the railroad
company would not be allowed to install
the deadly third rail on the surface of any
BROOKLYN street. The company asserts
that its plan is to install the third rail on
the road, denying the right Of the city TO
interfere with 1t between the street Cross
ings At these crossings the company
propose TO install Jumpers. The connect
ing " Tres OF cables would be buried and
the trains would cross by momentum.
The plan was denounced by the Borough
President and tho Public Works Commits
siouer as being dangerous and obsolete,
This administration has expended con-
siderable money and has gone TO much
trouble to improve Atlantic avenue and
make il what 4 was originally intended 20
be. a great public highway said Com
missioner Breckenridge yesterday. Be
sides that, the city has assumed half the
expense Of a very, very costly pubic I'M
proyement in order to take from the sur
face Of the street a dangerous railroad.
After all this has been done, Il would De
idiotic or criminal for any public ofhoial
10 permit, II he could prevent Il, the IN
stallation Of a system Of operation which
would make the railroad running on
street more dangerous than It ever has
been.
