Goldsboro, ~ c.. May 9.-The plant of
the Standard Manufacturing Company of
this city was destroyed by fire this af-
ternoon. 1t is supposed that the fire
was started by four tramps who were
making headquarters in the buildings, as
the plant had not been in operation for
some time. Two of the tramps were
arrested. They were drunk and would
have been burned to death if the police
had not found them.
The plant which was formerly used for
saw and planning mill and also for
making truck packages, belonged to
Messrs. John F. Switzerland and d. E.
Smith, of this city, and Mr.. ]. A. West
brook, of Mt. Olive, and was valued at
$500, which is a total loss as the insur-
ance had been cancelled, since the plant
suspended operation.
The Goldsboro Rice Mill had a close
call, but escaped with a slight loss. There
was heavy wind blowing at the time Of
the fire, but the excellent work of the
fire department kept the fire confined
to the buildings in which it started.

tpartment has received from Minister
Conger confirmation of the Associated
Press dispatch from Pekin that the Rus.
slams re-entered New cbwang ard then

The receipt of this advice late in the
day brought relief to a strained situation.
and it was decided by the department
that there was no longer occasion for
action, even automatically. at this stage.
Count Cassini, :. the course of his talk
with Secretary Hay today very earnestly
impressed upon the Secretary his con-
viction that the Russian government had
lived up to its agreements, and in view
of these representations Secretary Hay
did not hesitate to dissipate the impress
sion that might haze existed that there
remained any need for diplomatic action
relative to Manchuria by the United
States, Great Britain and Japan The
situation consequently lapses back to
where it was after the original Russian
disclaimer, which followed the demands
upon China two weeks ago, and for the
present the attitude of the United States
government will be simply one of OBJ
servance.
Mr.. Takahiri, the Japanese Minister,
had a long interview with Secretary Hay
at the State Department today. He man
ifested deep concern over the Manchu-
rian situation but declared that the lega-
tion was without official advice, in the
absence of which he did not care to
