MEXICO MAY
HAVE NEW RULER
Talk of Diaz'S Retiring is Being
Renewed.
REYES TO BE SUCCESSOR
POPULAR STATESMAN TO CON-
TINUE PROGRESSIVE POLICY.

FEXICO CITY, March e.-Recent
M kilograms from points on the
80 American frontier to journals Of
weight and prominence in the United
States deal with the important matter
of succession to the presidency Of this
republic in case Of the retirement OF
President Diaz. or at the expiration O.
his present constitutional period, ma
it was stated that he would in such
case be succeeded by the present minis
ter of war, General Bernardo Reyes.
American papers have widely com
mented on this dispatch. praising the
minister Of war as a valiant soldier and
as governor of the important state Of
Neuvo Leon, where his administration
gave satisfaction, not only to the Mex
lean people, but to resident Americans,
and it was properly argued that so
capable an administrator would be
certain TO carry on the wise policy of
President Diaz. who has created what
now is generally called Modern Mex
leo"
American editors also noted the fact
of the sympathy existing between
Americans and General Reyes, who, it
is said, would be certain to maintain
the peace of Mexico unimpaired.
1t IS known on unimpeachable au-
thority that General Reyes, IN case of
the presidential nomination being Of
fered him, would lend his cordial sup
port to the candidacy of the minister
of finance, Jose Limant0ur, a states
man Of demonstrated aptitude, for the
highest position in the government
and strong and able man.
People unacquainted with Mexican
affairs have sometimes regarded Senior
Limantour as being merely a financier
which is an error, and it is believed
apparently in the United States that
only a soldier can maintain the pres
ent most satisfactory state of things in
this country. and thus it has come
about that the American press has
spoken enthusiastically Of General
Reyes as the successor to President
Diaz. But it is known here that Gen
eral Reyes is himself one Of the ele-
ments of strength behind Minister Ii
mantour, as General Reyes has clearly
and publicly on various occasions ex-
pressed himself

RIFLE CLUB IMPROVEMENT.
Have Added Another Set of Targets

The rife club has just completed a
number of improvements at its range
and will now be able to accommodate
the fast increasing membership. An
other set Of targets has been placed
alongside of the old ones and the shoot
ing house has been made twice as
long as if was formerly. This enables
two sets of marksmen to shoot at the
same time, and in this way each mem
Der of the club will be enabled TO shoot
out more scores.
Secretary J. Hal Moore says that
keen rivalry among the members of
the club over the rife offered as d
trophy has caused an increased mem
beTship at the range, and each MEM
Der seems anxious to increase his
score as much as possible. The club
holds a regular shoot this afternoon.
