FRANCE is WORRIED.
Must Assume Definite Policy on Neu-
trality.

Paris, May l6.-The Journals Toxic
correspondent cables as follows
'In the course of an interview Count
Okuma, formerly Japanese foreign min
lister, referring to the Kamranh bay and
Honkohe incidents, stated that the pres
ence Of the Russian warships in Indo-
Chinese waters created a very disquiet-
ing situation. 1t was only the remem-
brance Of their long friendship with
France which restrained the Japanese
from proceeding to extreme measures.
The government was endeavoring not
to embitter the situation, but it was
necessary for France to adopt definite
attitude, otherwise popular excitement
would become irresistible. The Japan
ese thoroughly understood French obli-
cations towards their Russian ally, but
the present circumstances were not af-
fected by considerations of European
politics.
Concerning peace Count 0kuma de-
clared that Japan would neither demand
cessation OF hostilities nor consider
any proposition leaving Russia an OPP
portunity for future revenge Japan
must become the arbiter OF the Far

Two Young Men Drove Him to Mont

Two young men hired horse and
rig at Liveryman labels stable Satur-
day evening. They drove to Montpelier
and part way back when the animal
showed a disposition to lie down. They
stopped at Clark Shepard's house and
called ont Mr., Shepard at eleven o'clock.
Mr.. Shepard looked the horse over and
decided that collie medicine was needed.
As he didn't have any Of that he called
up LABELS stable by telephone and mo-
titled them Of the condition Of the
horse. Meanwhile the young men
started to lead the animal to this city.
They got as far as Lamson's stoneshed,
and the animal keeled over and died
in the road.

horse he could see no signs that he
had been driven hard, and the young

AT Bianchi & Sons Granite
Plant at East Barre.
FINISHED WORK SAVED
Engine House With Machinery Destroy
ed, and Main Cutting Plant Dam
aged--Fine Work by East
Barre Fire Fighters.

a part of the granite plant of Charles
Bianchi Il Son at East Barre was burned
to the ground last night, and for q time
the entire works with all their valuable
finished pieces Of statuary and others
nearly completed, were threatened. Ex-
cellent service by the East Barre fire
department, however, saved the cutting
shed, although it was damaged con-
siderably, and the granite work inside
was not injured. The engine house with
all the machinery was destroyed, caus-
ing loss of $4,000, which is covered
by insurance.
When discovered at quarter before
eleven o'clock the engine house was en-
veloped in flames. In five minutes after
the alarm the hose company got at work.
There was no use in attempting to save
the engine house as it was almost des-
troged when the firemen arrived, so at
tention was turned toward stopping the
fire before it should reach the main cut
ting shed. Sparks from the burning
engine house ignited the roof of this
building, and the roof was considerably
burned before the flames were under
control. But at midnight the fire had
been subdued, and the costly monu-
ments, many Of which were boxed ready
Tor shipment, We're saved. 1t il esti-
mated that there was $4,000 worth OF
work inside the shed.
The machinery in the engine house
is in such shape that 1t is practically
valueless, but Bianchi Il Son carried an
insurance Of $4,000, and it Is likely that
the loss will be covered The cause Of
the fire is a mystery
There was some question as TO
whether the firm viii rebuild at East
Barre, but from statements made this
morning, IL is understood that they will
not leave that place. Bianehi & Son
carry ON the largest business in East
Barre, and do fine grade Of monu-
mental work, especially statuary. The
thirty or more employees are tempor-
arily thrown out Of employment The
members of the firm are Charles and
John Bianclfi,
Tho reflection Of the fire was plainly
visible In this city, and there was con-
siderable speculation regarding its loca-
tion, many thinking for time that it
was in the eastern part Of the city.
Houses on elevations were lighted up
so strong was the glare The plant is
