1900 ACRES BURNED OVER

of Few Seedlings.

After hard fight forest fire
which has been raging for two days
between the Alamo and Frijoles
canons in the Jemez National Forest,
about twenty miles west of Santa Fe,

by campers and rigid investigation
will be made to ascertain those re-
sponsible for the fire, which had 1t
gotten good start and extended into
the big timber, would probably have
caused loss of thousands of dollars.
Fortunately the damage was small
considering the large area burned ov-
er, this being about twelve hundred
acres, as most of the section devas.
tated by the fire was covered with
brush and dead timber with the ex-
cebtion Of few seedlings.
AS soon as news was received in

Supervisor Thomas r. Stewart left
overland for the scene and under his
direction a score OF forest guards and

TEXAS RAILROADS

Galveston, June %.-The state rail.

the reports of the Texas railroads and
showed that the decrease in the gross
earnings for the past nine months to
have been four million dollars instead
of eight million dollars as claimed by
the railroads. The commission de.
clares that oyer fifty per cent OF the
decrease is ficticious and is due to the
new system of bookkeeping of certain
railroad accounts as ordered by the
Interstate Commerce Commission. A
comparison is made with the earnings
of 1907 which the Texas Railroad COM
mission shows was an unprecedented
year for Texas railroads, in which
they had more traffic than they could
handle. The earnings for the past nine
months as compared with the same
period of 1904 show an increase OF ST.

PARIS THROWN INTO PANIC
People Thought President

Paris, June 4.--The canonlzation
today OF Emil Zola at the Pantheon,
was marred by dastardly attempt on
the life Of Major Alfred Dreyfus. The
whole OF Paris was thrown Into a
panic, for at first, ii was thought Pres.
ident Fallieres had been assasslnated
Major Dreyfus was only slightly
wounded His assailant was promptly
arrested
Zola, who died in 1902, was ten
years ago condemned to a years i'm.
prlsonment for addressing to Felix

famous letter: d. @. Accused" la
which he laid bare the conspiracy or
the general army staff against Drey
fus. then captain in the French
army. Today his dust was interre,,
with national honors in the Pantheon.
the French temple of fame, with most
impressive ceremonies.
The proposal to give Zola gior,
GUS burial when made first in 1906,
aroused in France all the dominant
animosties that came out In the Drey-
fus trials and the transfer OF his
ashes, although duly voted by the
chamber and the senate, was twice
postponed because Of the state of
public opinion. The chief opposition
to the burial Of Zola's ashes in the
Pantheon arose from his defense OF
Dreyfus and the authorities therefore
expected disorders today.
The attempt on the life OF Major
Dreyfus was made by Louis Anthelne
Gregori, a member Of the editorial
staff of La France Militaire, a journal
devoted to military progress and the
military future of the French repub-
lie. Dreyfus was present at the cere
monies to do final homage to the great
leader OF his cause. GregUri's act
was undoubtedly inspired by the cam
paign which the reactionary press has
been conducting against Zola as the
"insulter of the French army" and
"the traducer OF his country"
