Small Blaze.

A small fire occurred on Saturday in
the workshop of the Grants Pass Hard
ware Co., situated ON the alloy back
of thoir place Of business. A gasoline
soldering pot was the cause of the
fire. In filing, the gasoline leaked
and ran down beneath the bench
where quantity of oakum was
stored. On lighting up, the fame
flashed down into the oakum and
ignited it. There was a quick re-
sponse to the alarm and the fire was
extinguished before any serious
damage had been done.

GREAT CONSUMER OF TEA.
United States Takes Three-Fourths of
Worlds Product.
of the Associated Press.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
TOXIC, June IL, via San Francisco, June
2S.-An important meeting of tea merchants
throughout Japan was held at ShidZoutka,
Japan, early in June, about 200 being pres
ent. Among those present were Mr.. Hirata,
minister of agriculture and commerce, and
Baron KOmura, minister of foreign affairs.
Baron Komura delivered an address in
which he said:
America is the best customer of the tea
world. Three-quarters of the total produc-
ton of tea in the world is consumed in
the United States. Despite this fact Japan
tea trade with America appears to have
made no progress during the last ten years.
Ten years ago the export of tea to America
amounted to 6,5O0,ooO yen in value, which
is also the case at present, though the pop
ulation of America has greatly increased in
the meantime. Secondly, the Russians are
great tea consumers and if the Japanese
pay attention toward Russia that country
will become good customer of Japan tea.
. Mr.. Olami kahei, chairman of the central
tea guild. said:
The future prospects of Japan tea in
ing as the tea plantations in South Caro-
lima and other parts of America have made
remarkable progress of late years and it is
not at all improbable that the American
government may some day be compelled to
impose a heavy duty foreign tea for the
protection of the domestic industry"

LIEUT.. sToCKLEY's FATE.
Obtained to the Effect
That He Was Murdered.

After total absence for over two years
of any information concerning the myste-
rious disappearance Of Second Lieut.. Paul
D. Stockley, 21st Infantry, the War Depart
ment has now received some interesting in
formation concerning the unfortunate
young officer obtained from native sources
by Major w. H. c. Bowen, 5th-1nfantry.
From the information collected by Major
Bowen, it appears that about the middle of
January, 1900, Stockley was at the pueblo
of Taliasay. in Batangas province. Here
he asked of the presidente fhe road to the
pueblo of Tanauan. The presidente told
him there was only one way, but after fol-
lowing it, the young officer returned, hav-
ing, it Is reported, large sum of money on
his person and having seen some suspicious
looking natives. He again asked if there
was another way. A bystanding native vol
unteered to show him one, and led him in
the opposite direction. When near Banga,
a barrio on the shore of a lake. a band of
natives set upon him, stoned him until he
fell to the ground. took his revolver from
him and shot him with it, and then stabbed
and cut him again and again with bolos
The unfortunate mans body was afterward
thrown into the deep waters of the lake and
has never since been seen. One of Lieut..
Stockley's murderers was caught and tried
by military commission. The remainder are
still at large.

MR.. WHITELAw REDS MESSAGE.
King Edwards Physicians Expect a
Rapid Recovery.

A cable message was received a the
State Department this morning from Mr..
Whitelaw Reid, head of the special en-
bassy to the coronation, giving a most
favorable account of the condition of King
Edward VII. He says that the physicians
attending the king give most encoura ging
reports of his majestys progress and ex-
pect his rapid recovery. Among those en-
tirely familiar with the case, Mr.. Reid
says, it is well understood that there is no
foundation for the alarming reports in cir
culation that the king has a cancer or Sc
riOuS throat or stomach trouble Accord
ing 10 Mr.. Reid. the strength, nerves and
sound blood of the king are all in his favor
A most favorable symptom in his case is
that he has been taking solid food.

News Pleases London.

1.-THE king is now out of immediate dam
ger" This announcement spread quickly
throughout the metropolis and caused gen
eraI rejoicing The verdict upon which
the nation had SO anXiOusly waited caused
a longer consultation than usual. Lord
Lister. Sir Frederick Treves and the other
doctors discussed the patients condition
for nearly an hour before they committed
themselves TO the important pronounce
Tnent. 1t was read at Buckingham Palace
by only a small crowd. the public being
practically assured by yesterday evenings
reports that everything was going well.
Yet. to use the words of the Westminster
Gazette. the bulletin was full of intense
relief The underlying suspicion that the
doctors might fear more than they wrote,
the sensational rumors of his majesty's
death which continued even so late as yes
terday. and the lack of definite unofficial
news all combined to create intense ner-
vousness. Such hopeful statements as the
Associated Press had been able to make
were not available to the British public,
who. however. were spared the sensational
reports. so paIpably absurd, whicn
were cabled to America.
The reference TO the wound. in this morn
irgs bulletin. il is authoritatively set forth,
can be regarded without any disquietude.
By June 80 the doctors are expected to an
nounce that all danger of any cOmplica-
tlOns has passed
