EL PASO, Teati, Nov. 19.—Rebels confirm the repotted capture of Vic toria. The states of Sonora, Sinalo, Chi huahua and Coahuila are controlled by the rebels, except the cities of Chi huahua, Tampico and Guay mas. The city of Chihuahua is surround ed by the rebels, and the capture of Tampico is predicted a certainty.

Oue hundred accept ed to date involve a total expenditure of about $7,000,000. More than 7,000 people will be em ployed in the concessions district. The total amount to be invested in amuse- ments in 1915 will probably aggre- gate $12,000,000. Among the most important conce»- slons will be "The Grand Canyon of the Colorado,” a working model of the Panama canal; naval sub-marines in operation; "Creation," based on the first chapter of Genesis; "Toy land"; a reproduction of the famous city of Nuremburg, Germany; "Fire and Sword.” or the fall of Adrian ople; an Ice palace; "Forty-Niners’ Camp," "Mohammed's Mountain," a Chinese city, and others. that in the very near future the gov ernment will be able to provide for an old age pension for government employes out of the profits of the government's new monopoly of life insurance. This monopoly went into effect Jan uary 1st. Since then the government has issued 22,119 policies for a total insurance of nearly $1,000,000. The law provides for the creation of an old age pension fund out of the profits.
