Sir Edward Grey's Note to Secretary Bryan Announces Willingness to Modify Practice of Detaining
 "To Order" Cargoes.

Washington. Jan. S.-Secretarv ct State Bryan late this afternoon re- ceived the preliminary reply of Sir Edward Grey, E,ritisl. minister fo1 foreign affairs, to the note from tn, United Ctates government, in which the United States made intimations of unjustifiable searching by British cruisers .,f American vessels. objected to Great Brltain's practice of stopping vessels merely to look for evidence and refused to recognize the British claim of the right to deny to Amer lcan merchants the right to ship goods to order"
 Tne British paper will be given out, Mir. Bryan says, probably Oh Sunday by which tirse the president, who will return tomorrow. will have had op- pcrtunlty to consider it. although it was said the substance of it was tele- graphed t. him tonight.
 This muct. is said, however: that 1t is very courteous. !, a.
 Britain's Attitude.
 While not precisely responsive to the large questions without specifica- tions which were raised by MT. Bryan Great Britain is said to maintain iii the note these conditions:
 That she will not abandon the gen. eral right 70 search ships or the high seas, which was admitted by a,i na- tions.
 That she must also maintain the continuance of the right "to vistta- tion" Of commercial ships.
 That the practice of detaining ves- sels whose cargoes or paris oe car goes are consigned "toorder" may be modified. but not abandoned on ac- count of peculiar conditions of the existing war.
 That there is no disposition on the part of the British government to un- duly exercise the right of visitation and that this will be conducted in such a way as to impose the least hardship on American commerce.
 That acute cases of disagreement may be disposed of by reference to commissions of inquiry composed cf representatives of both nations.
 Officials say that Great Britain will be able to fortify her friendly ,,piri! by reference to the fo"eshadow- ing of defense which was given out last night by Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British ambassador at Washing ton.

Cleveland. Ohio. Aug. 29.-By taking
two games from the indians at Somers
Park Saturday the Red SoX reganed the
ground they lost the day before while
the best the Tigers could do with New
York was to break even. But, although
ptted against a hopeless second division
outfit, the Red Sox had to be up on their
toes throughout the contests. If they
had not been there is no telling what
the results would have been, as the In
dams declined to acknowledge themselves
beaten until the 5fth putout of the game
was registered. In neither struggle did
Boston have a margin sufficiently large
to allow the league leaders to feel safe,
the first being won to 3. while the sec
ond was taken over by 3 to count.
