To the Review:
 In the United States We seem to know more of the affairs of Tibet and Timbucttoo than of those of the \ster republic of Mexico. Conse- quently the recent establishment of the ofiee of vice-President, and the election of Seror Ramon Corral to fill the office with view of relieving Presi dent Diaz. the Grand Old Man" of Mexico. of the most onerous duties and responsibilities. and thus setting him free for travel, has excited but ilttle attention. It is really an i'm portant event in American history wssthety iewed from the standpoint of the Monroe Doctrine O. the silver question.
 The election of Corral as Vice -Presi. de>t is the very best guarantee for future friendly relations between the two republics. He undoubtedly owes his present office to the support and influence of President Diaz. for although a special act of the Mexican congress was necessary to create the off1ce. the popular election" of the Nice-PTesidert was entirely in the hands of Diaz. The brainy but ir. resolute Limantou- and the brilliant and 1ighty Reyes have been set aside ana the new man" of Mexico steps 10 the front in the person of Senor Licenciado Don Ramon Corral.
 He Is a man just past middle age. thoroughly educated and self-con- tained person. of singular force of character resembling in a very mark ed degree his illustrious patron. He has been brought from the northern part of the republic. and has not yet had the opportunity of becoming center of political intrigue He has filled the somewhat coveted position Of Governor of Sonora. Governor of the Federal district. and Secretary of the Interior. He is not a military man, but a lawyer. and was the agent of many American commercial enter. prises.
 About two years ago the ever wig liant eyes of Diaz saw that unless some new and important factor were brought into the political situation there would probably be a serious clash between the two opposing fac. tions, the faction led by Jose Y. Linn. antour, who during the past six years has entirely reestablished the financial position and foreign credit of the Mex. ican Republic and has made her today Inc most prosperous of the Latin na. uons of the western hemisphere, and the other faction led by General Der nardino Reyes, who possesses an en- viable record. and has shown himself very solicitious of the warfare of the Mexican army. These two parties stand for much in Mexico. On the other hand. Limantour has obtained the esteem and confidence of the com mercial community: on the other the Mexican army swear by General Reyes Still. neither of these is a man of much force of character. and each is utterly united to become. in the event of the death or retirement of General Diaz. the President of the restless and ambitions Republic.
 For these and many other reasons President Diaz was determined to put Ramon Corral to the front and to in- influence his election for the newly established chair Of yice-President.
 The appointment of Sencr Corral will undoubtedly influence for good the relations between the two great American republics and eventually lead 10 the introduction of American methods in the civil. military, and na- val administrations of the country.
