STOCKTON, Nov. 1.-The power

fire this morning about o'clock.
A. II. Babcock, superintendent of the
company, made the following state
ment TO The Associated Press:
"The power-house of the standard
Electric Company, located at Blue
Lakes City, was totally destroyed about
8 O'Clock this morning. Al present the
origin OF the fire is unknown. Ii will
be some weeks before operation can be
resumed. In the meantime the Stock
ton Gas & Electric Company will sup
ply It's customers by means of its re-
serve steam plant.

A telephone message was received by
the Mail from the Blue Lakes plant
early in the forenoon.
mo one seems 10 know how the fire
started" stated the Mails informant.
1t broke out in The machinery depart
ment at a quarter 10 this morning
There Is a good water supply here
and there were plenty OF hands To use
1t, but water will not extinguish cleo
tricity. The fire seems to have origi-
mated in the machinery itself, which
was in operation at the time
The only loser IN Stockton by the de-
struction Of the rlant is the Sperry
Flour Company, which received power
to run the Sperry -four NAL direct from
Blue Lakes. About O'Clock l.ls morn
ing the machinery began TO SLOW down
and soon 1t stopped altogether.
The mill will be unable to run until
the plant at Blue Lakes is rebuilt. as
the steam plant has been taken out
1t requires 500 horsepower to oper-
ate the mill.
The Union Mill, which has been
closed down for ten days, undergoing
general overhauling, will be started
up at once.
II could not be learned here where
the plant is insured nor what the loss
is, but IL is belier ID that 100000 is a
fair estimate of the cost OF the plant.
The loss Is mostly on the machinery,
as the power-house was not a preten-
tious affair. No one was injured.
The Ford & Lightner mines OF the
Mother Lode, which were operated
with electricity from the Blue Lakes
plant, have been compelled TO shut
down. and the towns OF San An6reas

lighted from the blue Lakes plant, are

A TRUE SOLDIER
Fighting Guy" Henry's
Lifetime Army Record.
Born at a Frontier Post-Oai,ant
Service In the Civil War and
Against lndians.

1t was particularly fitting that a
aan like the late Gen. Guy V. Henry.
destined to I'LL such place in the Ma
lions history as soldier should have
had as his birthplace an Army post

that his father. Major william Seaton

the savages at that time. March Q.
1899; and 1t is also appropriate that a
man who was destined to become the
Military and Civil Governor of for
eign territory won by the sword should
be the grandson of one who was Vice
President of the United States and
twice Governor of New York State,
Daniel d. Tompkins, and also grandson
of a former Secretary of the Navy and
Judge of the Supreme Court, Smith
Thompson.
Young Henry was fortunate enough
to graduate from West Point at the
very outbreak of the Civil war. He
was assigned as Second Lieutenant to
the First United States Artillery and
served with distinction in that regi-
ment unth he was made Colonel of the
Fortieth Massachusetts Infantry in the
fall of 1868. He continued throughout
the war with that command, being
present at many of the most important
battles. At Cold Harbor he had two
horses shot under him and received
two body wounds, but never left the
field until the fight was over and won.
In 1870 General Henry was transferred
to the cavalry, and during the follow
ing twenty years achieved an unequal
ed record as an Indian fighter.
When the Wounded Knee campaign
occurred seven years ago General
Henry, then Major, was stationed at
Fort Robinson. General Miles sent to
him a dispatoa advising him of the
perilous and critical situation ut Pine
Ridge agency. Immediately on receipt
o. that dispatch Henry mounted the
companies of the Ninth Cavalry and
rode. without unsaddling, and in twen-

Miles made known to him the danger

Wounded Knee, and Henry once more
mounted his command and galloped of
arriving at Wounded Knee in time for
battle. Save for his coming the Sew
snth Cavalry might have been annihi-
lated, as were Custer and his men.
in the Spanish-American war Henry
served with the rank of Major
Later he was appointed Governor-Gen-
oral of Porto Rico, which position i'll
health forced him to resign. AS Gov
ern0r-General he was very popular
with the Porto Ricans. 1t was his GUS

BAD FOR COUGHLAN.
Much.

Washington, April %. - AS a result
Of his speech at a banquet in New
York In which he referred bitterly to
what he termed the outrageous nag
ging to which Admiral Dewey was
subjected by the German fleet under
Admiral Won Diedrichs, Capt. Joseph
h. Coghlan will, in all probability be
relieved of his command of the Raj
eigh. Secretary Long has written
Capt. Coghlan a letter requesting MN
TO furnish the department with a cor
rect version of his speech. The com
munication indicates the departments
displeasure that the captain should
make statements prejudicial to friend
~ nations between the United States
and a foreign government. There is no
intention in official circles OF court
martialing Capt. Coghlan. The utmost
that will be done. if the present tenn
per of the department continues, will
be to relieve him of his command,
write hin. a letter of censure, and note
his conduct upon his record. The de-
partment is very much concerned over
the effect of Capt. Coghlan's remarks
upon Germany. The German embas-

pointed out that when the German
government learned the full extent of
his irritating conduct Vice Admiral

mand of the Asiatic squadron by
Prince Henry. 1t has been the aim of
Ambassador Won Holleban to remove
the impression that his government
was unfriendly, and he sincerely re-
grets that Capt. Coghlan should have
revived the reports of unfriendllness
between the German and American
fleet commanders. Administration Of
ficials are deeply annoyed mt Capt.
C~oghlan's statements, and his reciting
'Hoch, Der Kaiser is another cause
for their determination TO take prompt
action. 1t cannot be stated definitely
whether Ambassador Won Holleban. In
view of the publication OF this dog
gerel credited to Capt. Coghlan and
the speech made by that officer, will
make any representations. but i'm view
of the action of the navy department,
it is probable that he will leave the
matter to the administration There is
no doubt that as soon al Capt. Cogh-
lan's answer is received and action has
been taken on 1t, the steps taken by
the department will be communicated
to the German ambassador, with n
proper expression of regret for the oc-
currence. As the United States was
content with the action of Germany in
relieving Vice Admiral Won Diedrichs
of the command of the Asiatic station,
1t is presumed by the officials that
Germany will be satisfied with the re-
lieving of Capt. Coghlan.

Alfred Doige's Career.

1t is a strange coincidence that the
Armour felt and curled-hair works
should have burned just as Alfred
Dodge, founder of Dolgeville. N. ", and
former millionaire, had arranged to
make a new start in life by taking
charge of the plant. Dolge's career
has been a romantic one. He arrived
in this country a %penniless emigrant
boy. Thrift and hard work made him
prominent as a manufacturer. and
finally he went up into the foothills
of the Adirondack mountains, bought
a huge tract Of land and started the
town of Dolgeville. The firm of Alfred
Dodge & Son was interested in nearly
every enterprise in the village. They
controlled six or eight factories. ran a
weekly newspaper and became famous
as the leading piano felt manufacturers
of the country. Among their many
employees they put into practice a sys-
TEN OF profit sharing. The firm also
furnished life insurance and gave old
age pensions to deserving employees
Dolgeville was much like a patriarchal
community, with Alfred Dodge at the
head OF it. After the failure OF the
firm creditors began supplementary
proceedings which left Mr.. Dodge prac-
tically without al The burning
of the Armour works must therefore
come to him as a severe blow. HIS
son, Rudolf Dodge, is now the agent Of
some American manufacturers in Cara
cas-, Venezuela.
