Crowds of spectators went yesterday TO
view the scene of Saturday nights big fire.
Morbid curiosity had been whetted by the
report published in an unreliable morning
paper that half a dozen workmen had
perished in the ruins.
All the persons who were in the oil W rks
when the tire started by the tank explos on,
however, were accounted for before the fire
was extinguished. Early in the morning ii
WAS thought that the Waterman, a POrtu-
guese known as Joe" had been burned at
least, his wife came over from her home in
Alameda in quest Of him. Later in the day
the Waterman was found. The employers
reported yesterday morning that all their
men had been accounted for.

He was quiet-looking elderly man. in
pastoral sort OF black broadcIoth suit
and felt hat with broad brim, such as
are worn by "colonelS" and ''maiors."
Next to him in the car sat two youny
men, who were telling stories about per-
sonal experiences on the road. One of
them related, with much gusto, an en-
counter which he had recently had with a
desperate Western man, the weapons be-
ing cards. The game was poker, the
special occasion was that old familiar ''big
jack pot' which SO often figures in pro-
fame history, and two principals were

STATE BOARD OF TRADE.
Wonderful Showing in Favor of Cali
fOrnia Fruits.


SAN FRANCISCO, June 1.-THE monthly
meeting of the State Board of Trade was
held to-day at go Sutter street. 1t was
not as well attended as other recent meet
ings of the body have been. President
Eugene Gregory of Sacramento was in
the chair, the others present being Mayor
Cole of Fresno, j. A. Morrissey of Stock
ton, j. S. Emery of Oakland, Tyler Beach
of San Jose, s. j. Stabler of Yuba City
T. G. McAfee Of Bakersfield, A. A. Hub
bard Of Chico, w. II. Mills of San Fran
cisco and 4. w. Maslin of Placer County.
The regular report was read, showing
that the monthly disbursements were
81, ,l69 and the receipts SI,540. A letter
was received from Parker, Wellesley IL
Co. of London, which showed that the
profits on the fruits sent from California
to England was nine cents and two mills
on everything except the fruits that had
to pay duty. On such fruits it was seven
cents and two mills.
The committee which had the matter in
charge reported that an agent in the en-
ploy of the Johnson-Locke Company
was sent to all parts of the State to gather
particularly fine dried fruits to be sent to
London. The agent could not find any,
The committee stated that the fact that
the agent could not find any choice fruit
spoke well for California, as it meant that
there was such q demand for California
fruit that it had all been sold.
Mr.. Mills spoke of this particularly,
stating that the report of the agent was
indeed a wonderful showing.
n letter was received from J. Berton,
the correspondent OF the Journal deS De-
bats of Paris, suggesting that an invita-
ton to French Journalists to visit this
country would be splendid advertise
ment, aud would induce many French
wine growers to move to the new coun-
try.
Mr.. Bert0n's letter was referred to a
committee. The reading Oft brought on
a discussion of the gains to California
through the visit ofthe National Editorial
Association.
Mr. Mills made an address on the sub
Ject which was exceedingly interesting.
His summing up was that the visit was
thu best advertisement California ever
had.
