HGW THE BLAZE STARTED is A MYSTERY
The Plant, Worth at Least SIG, 900, Had 0nly Re-
Gently Been Renovated and Kept 80 Men
in Employment.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

SAN RAFAEL. Oct. 16-This morning
ABOUT O'Clock the main west works OF the
ratent Brick Company, situated on the line
oi the San Francisco and North Pacific
railway and about three miles from San
haiael, was discovered to be on fire, and in
less than two hours, in spite of the prompt
and efficient aid of about two hundred men,
mostly employees, the whole west plant,
covering about two acres, was totally
DESTROYED.
Tie origin OF the fire is a mystery, as
the hreman and engineer both state tha.
they were the last to leave the works. and.
II Delng customary Oh Saturday night to
stop work at 12 o'clock so as to allow the
boilers to cool down In order TO have them
cieaned out on Sunday, they had before
leaving wet down the brick floor and
cleaned away the ashes, and there was
hothing left that would start fire.
Mr.. Caduc. the president of the corpora
tion. In answer TO questions. was very un-
communicative, as he stated that he did not
know whether the works were insured or
not, and was not desirous OF giving much
Information. except that he thought the fire
originated somewhere In the b0ler-room.
The company are Just after renovatng
the works at a cost Of $1,000, and the total
loss Is estimated at about $4,000.
The plant is tie largest of It's kind In the
State, as it employs on an average f50 men,
with an output of $4,000 bricks daily. The
brick is dried entirely by hot air. and the

TO run the year round-unlike the other
brick companies. they being compelled to
close down during the winter season.

BREWING A REVOLUTION.
Trouble Ahead for President Pena Of
Argentina.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Tne Herald's cor
respondent at 3uenos Ayres says that there
is reason to suspect that the crew OF the
hulk at Rosario from which large quad
tty of powder was recently stolen by
masked men were in completely with the
robbers, and that the powder was taken to
be used in revolutionary movement
The Government, it is said, proposes to
disarm large portion of the navy from
motives Of economy.
There is an open rupture between Presi-
dent Pena and General Roca. and the dis
satisfaction among the higher army officers
is much increased, owing to the elevation OF
General Mitre to the chief command Of the
army.
Political clubs are forming all over the
country and are actively at work. The
Buenos Ayres Herald openly says that
Pena's Government has more enemies than
had PellegrlnPs. and that Argentine can
only be redeemed by an earnest revolution
against the present gang OF officials.
Congress has convened in extra sesslen
to confirm the commercial treaties between
Argentina, France and Italy.
The Governor of Entire Rios has sue
caeded, through false kilograms, in getting
s90, GOO pesos from the Banco Naci0nale.
This money, he alleged, was to be used
for public works. The Government will
take steps to punish him and also to indiet
ex-Mnister of Finance Hansen.

ENTHUSIASTIC EUREKA.
Its Citizens Addressed by Senator FELTON,
and Hon. L. ". Davis.

EUREKA, Oct. 16.-An immense concourse
OF people assembled at Centennial Hall this
city last evening to listen to addresses of
United STATES Senator Charles n. FELTON,
and Hon. E. W. Davis. Republican nomi-
nee for Congress for the First District.
Although the rain fell in torrents the
streets were thronged with an immense
crowd Of citizens and visitors from the
neiahboring towns. The streets were in
anything but good marching condition, but
Notwithstanding this the Davis Club, fine
organization Of stalwart young Eureka Re-
publicans, turned out In procession with
their white uniforms and shining torch
lights.
The club presented a fine appearance
despite the incleinent weather, and bonfires
lit up the city and bands paraded the
streets, which were lined with hundreds of
people. The large hall was literally packed
when Hon. j. II. q. Weaver, chairman of
the County Central Committee, came for
ward and announced amid much enthusiasm
that Mr. William Carson,tle leading lumber
man and mill. owner, would be chairman for
the evening. Senator FELTON, addressed the
meeting first. His speech was deliberate
and unmpassioDed, but powerful and
convincing exposition Of Repnbicanism,
and held the closest attention OF his every
auditor
Senator FELTON, was followed by Hon. E.
w. Davis, stranger to Eurekan but his
magnetic manner and pleasing delivery
quickly won upon his audience. For an
hour and half, with ready wit and force
ful eloquence, he fairly ridded the Demo-
cratic position, using statistics with readi-
ness and fiuency and showing himself
perfectly familiar with every phase of the
great Issues of the campaign. 1t is not
claiming too much to say that Mr.. Davis
completely took the audience by storm, and
from the commencement to the peroration
OF his speech it was punctuated by round
upon round of applause.
IL has been alleged that the noise made
by friends of Congressman Gaary over his
work in helping 10 secure Humboldt's har
Dor appropriation has caused disaffection
among Humboldt Republicans, but GER
tainly the monster meeting of last night
gave no evidence of such disaffection. Mr..
Davis is making hosts of friends here, and
unless all signs fail will go out this fall
with the usual Republican majority.
Senator FELTON, also Is immensely popu-
lar. Both the Republican Legislature can
ddates are pledged in his support, and the
democrats have not even put an opposition

closed the fact that Rnz, who is in his

of conspirators, who had feeced him out of

induced him to fndorse two $1,000 notes

Miss Bertha Krimslat of Stockholm.
In the course of a few weeks she per-
suaded Ruiz that she was his illegitimate

The conspirators then concocted the
scheme to raise more, and Ruiz states that
in August Mrs. Laws brought to him the
forged notes for $1,000. and said that Pres
ton, knowing that the Consul-General was
embarrassed, had sent him two notes by
mail. Ruiz never suspected that they were
forgeries. and at once signed them.

money on one of the notes, and when it was
pronounced a forgery he foreel0sed the
