Especial to News and Observer.)

Especial to News and Observer
Greensboro N. c., May 5.-The fin
ishing, packing and storage rooms of
the Greensboro Table and Mantel
Company were destroyed by fire early
this morning, causing a loss of several
thousand dollars, partly covered by in
surance. The origin of the fire is not
known. The main factory buildings
were saved by the company's own fire
service, and there will be no suspen-
sion of work whatever, as machinery
was not even disturbed.
The factory is located some distance
out of town wit hno city hydrant near,
and the admirable work of the COM
pany's water brigade has been to them
of much favorable comment. There
was a large and valuable stock OF
mantels and tables stored or packed
for shipment or hand and the loss is
difficult to estimate, through the in
surance is said to be ample to prevent
any embarrassment whatever to the
company.

LORD CURzoN PRAISED.
British Press Gives Former vicerOy
Credit for His Splendid
Administration.

LONDON, Aug. 21.--The resignation
of Lord Curzon as viceroy OF India,
which the chief theme of the morn
ing newspapers, was discounted by
previous reports that a disagreement
was impending or that his resignation
had been rendered. all of which had
been steadily and fatty denied by Mr..
Brodrick. Secretary of State for India.
The correspondence given in the white
book, however. makes IL clear that the
situation has been an impossible one
for some time and that the breach be-
tween Lord Curzon and Lord Kitchener
could not have been patched up by
minor concessions to Lord Curzon. All
of the editorial articles praise Lord
Curzcn's administration unstintedly and
credit him with having done as great
service in India as any OF his predeces-
sors. if not greater. 1t is conceded that
the Earl of Mimic takes the reips at a
difficult stage, but he is Credited with
ability equal to that of any man in
England to grasp quickly and master
difficult administrative work.

sembly was published in Germany yes
terday evening. and is analysed by the
newspapers to-day. The conditions
existing in the empire of her next-door
neighbor are probably as well known
in Germany as in outside states, yet
opinion is as varied regarding the
organic change in the Russian system
as there are political groups.

perial joke of Emperor Nicholas. de-
signed TO show those in his empire
struggling for constitutional liberty
how little he cares for their aspirations.
The newspapers aver that constitu-
ton providing. for $50 voters in such
cities as st. Petersburg and Moscow is
ludicrous.
The North German Gazette considers
that Emperor Nicholas by stroke has
placed Russia among the constitutional
governments of the world. 1t regards
the doc .ment as drawn with wisdom
and inspired by sincere purpose to be-
gin self government and yet taking
due account of the capability of the
Russians, as whole, to govern them
selves.
Between these two extremes OF opin-
ion are others which voice the hope
that Russia has at last begun the de-
velopment of con titutional institu-
tions, a development that must be slow
and experimental. sA-e

Russia Believes Her Foe VIII Soon Run

PARIS, Aug 21.-The morning papers
devote lengthy leaders to expressing adj
mration for President Roosevelt in his
efforts to bring about peace. The papers
adopt hopeful view, yet they consider
the situation extremely delicate, and that
the turn of the tide will depend upon the
influence of the President of the United
States. On the other hand, the corre-
spondents at the various centers of con-
f1ict are pessimistic with regard to peace.
The Echo de Paris ST. Petersburg cor
respondent presents long document per-
tairing to the financial position of Japan,
which is purported to have been submit
ted TO Emperor Nicholas and his Minis
ters to allow them to judge of Japan's re-
sources to carry on the war The corre-
spondent adds that the perusal and study
of this financial document shows that
Japan, with indemnity, will become very
powerful, while without indemnity she
will be ruined. For tnis reason, he adds
Russia will refuse to pay kopeck.
The correspondent of the Matin at
Portsmouth says that in the course of an
interview M de Witte expressed deep
sense of gratitude to President Roosevelt
for his cffortiin behalf OF peace. M. de
Witte adding:

DISSOLUTION TO BE
CONSIDERED EARLY
Storthing Meets To-Day and
Will. Take Up Separation
From Sweden.

CHRISTIANIA, Aug. 21.-The Storthing
will assemble to-day. The Associated
Press is informed that the Norwegian
Government within a day or two will
submit proposal relating to the .dissou-
ton Of the union of Norway and Sweden.
Both governments are anxious to secure
a solution of the differences at the
earliest possible date. Consequently it is
understood that the storthing Will re-
quest the Riksdag TO secure dissolution of
the union by formal resolution and "a
repeal of the treaty, and will immediate
ly authorize the Government to negotiate
with the Riksdag concerning Swedens
condition. :
There is an apparent strong feeling
against the destruction of any fortress.
Should Sweden not recede it is s,considered
probable that Norway will propose arbf
tration for the disputed points.
