ton that the President would like to have
a response as soon as possible. in order that

Great Britain will cooperate in keeping

PHILADELPHIA, March 16.-W. g. PEN
nypacker's barrel factory at Swanson and
Reed streets, in the rear of Spreckels' big
sugar refinery. was destroyed by fire this
morning. The flames originated in kiln
used for drying barrel slaves. While the
fire was at its hight it was reported that
Fireman George Solley of Engine Company
No. 10, was inside the burning building. In
an instant, Robert Solley, his brother, a
member of the same company, sprang for
ward to go to his rescue, but at the
threshold was knocked senseless by a big
slab of red-hot slate that fell from the roof.
The injured man was taken to a hospital,
where, it is said, the chances of his
recovery are slight. Afterward
1t was learned that George
Solley was not 10 the.building at all but
was only few feet from the scene of the
accident to his brother. The flames burned
fiercely for five hours. The barrel factory
was erected by Claus Spreokels at the time

Diplomatic Relations to Be Resumed
Soon.
WASHINGTON, March 16.-It is learned
to-day semi-officially that arrangements
have been made for the re-establishment of
full diplomatic relations between the United
States and Italy on the same basis as ex-
listed before the New Orleans incident.
Gen. Porter. the United States minis
ter to Italy, who has been in this country
for over three months, will, in all
probability, be soon ordered back to his
post. Instructions to that effect have
actually been decided upon, and it is ex-
pected that the appointment Of an Italian
minister 20 be accredited to this country
will be announced In a short time.
FAvA APT TO BE THE MAN.
1t Is said TO be not at all unlikely that
Baron Fava the former minister. who was re-
called soon after the New Orleans affair,
will be restored to his former position. He
is known to be warm friend Of this coun-
try. The American minister was recalled
from Rome solely because Of the action of
the Italian government In recalling its min
lister at Washington, and the fact that
he has been ordered back is taken as a sure
indication that this government has re-
ceived an intimation at least that Italy de-
sires to resume its former friendly diplo-
matte relations.
