practicable. To meet his objections,
eight sones were outlined instead of
six, as origin-lly planned, and the
rates proposed by Senator Bourne
were increased.

House Censures Building Plans
Severe censure of the government
methods of erecting public buildings
is contained in the report of the house
committee on expenditures on public
Buildings.
The committee points out the ex
travagance and waste and the possi
bilities of fraud in public expendi
tures. The committee recommends that
government buildings be standardized
and endeavors to point out what it
considers the folly of maintaining a
big force of draughtsmen and archi
tects to make plans for every building
constructed by the government. The
report finds that since 1902 721 build
ings have been erected and that there
are now pending billls for 750 build
ings, to cost an aggregate of $70,000,
000. The committee urges that members
of congress be less tealous in their
efforts to get public buildings for their
districts and recommends legislation
making it illegal to erect a public
building in any city of less that 5000
Inhabitants or whose postoffice takes
In less than $10,000 annually.
Homestead Rules Made.
Regulations governing entries under
the Borah three-year homestead law
have been issued by Secretary Fisher.

counting from date of entry, is re
quired, including actual cultivation of
not less than one-sixteenth of the
land beginning with the second year
and not less than one-eighth begin
ning with the third year and until
final proof.
Absence from the land for not more
than five months in one continuous
period is allowed, but bona fide con
tinuous residence during the remain
ing portions of the three-year period
must be shown.
National Capital Brevities.

ZAPATISTAS MAKE
ATTACKJN TRAIN
84 Soldiers and Passengers
Killed by Mexican
Rebels.
Mexico Ciiy. KiKhty four persons
were killed and many were wounded
in an attack by Zapatistas on a pas
senger train between this city and
CuernavHca, Moreloa.
The Zapatistas, said to have num
bered 500, placed a mine undr the
railroad track, which exploded as the
locomotive passed over it. The over
turned engine hardly had settled when
the Zapatistas sprang up from all
sides and poured a murderous fire Into
the train.
The first object of their attack was
a second-class coach in which were
tiding a federal military escort, with
a captain and two lieutenants. The
federals got out of the car a quickly
as possible to answer the fire of the
assailants, but their efforts were fu
tile. The command with the excep
tion of five wounded and two who es
caped, were killed.
Forty-one passengers were killed
and many were wounded. After the
train had been swept by their fire,
the Zapatistas rushed on their strick
en victims and began killing the
wounded. A priest, unhurt, pleaded
with DeLoa, the rebel leader, to stop
the slaughter, and it ceased.
After sacking the express and bag
gage cars the rebels poured oil on the
cars and, putting the bodies of the
dead into them, set fire to the train.
When the relief train arrived there
was nothing but debris and a few per
sons, mat of whom were hurt, to tell
the tale.
