Surrounded by Tried Officials.

One of the reasons for the remarkable sue
cess of President Diaz in the administration
of his government is that he had surrounded
himself in his cabinet, in congress and as
unofficial advisers with men who are tried
and true. When he gets hold of a good man
he keeps him. He makes it an object for
him to remain in the employ of the govern
ment. There have been more changes in
the cabinet of the United States during the
last two years than in Mexico for thirty
years Mr. Mariscal. minister of foreign re-
lations, has occupied that post ever since
D1az became president in 1884. Some people
assert that he was at the head of the for
eign office under Montezuma. Before ac-
cepting that responsibility Mr.. Mariscal was
minister to London and TO WASHINGTON and
married his wife in Baltimore Many people
think the Mexican government could not go
on without Mr.. Mariscat

more than to any one else is due the honor
OF establishing the gold standard in the re-

ABILITY was the bottom reason that the

CITY OF. MEXICO, April 20. 1905.
p Ambassador Thompson took me up to the
ancient palace of the viceroys the other
day to Interview the President, and Mr..
McCreary, the obliging secretary of embas

Probable Successor to Diaz.

Another comparatively new member of
the government is Ramon Corral. vice pres
ident, and at the same time minister of the
interior. 1t is assumed .lat President Diaz.
is mortal. 1t is admitted that he cannot
live forever. His term of Office will not
expire until 1910, when he VIII be nearly
eighty years old. 1t is expected that Gen.
Corral VIII succeed him in office at that
time, and is being educated by him for
the responsibility. There is no rivalry
however. Corral is disciple of Diaz, and
his master is supposed to have selected him
from among all the rising young statesmen
of Mexico as the best qualified to carry on
his work and continue the policy of prog
ress that he has pursued for thirty years.
Hence every one expects that the mantle
of Elijah will fall upon Elisha in 1910.
Corral is a native of the state of Sonora,
ffty-two years old. He was born in VIII
lage, was the son of the editor of an in
significant newspaper. was educated in the
public schools. and, at the age of twenty,
was himself actively engaged in his fathers
profession In 1875 he engaged In sue
cessful revolution, the same which made
Diaz president, was elected to the iegisla-
ture and made secretary of state for So
nora. He made a good record; his ability
a politician and administrator was dem
onstrated; he was promoted to governor
and conducted the affairs of Sonora SO
wisely and ably that, in 1900, when his
term expired, Diaz brought him to the cap
ital and made him governor of the federal
district. Having given him thorough
trial, he took him into the cabinet as min
lister OF interior in January, 1903, and last
December had him elected Vice president,
and placed in the direct line of succession.
Corral Is thorough American, simple of
speech simple of manner, simple in habits.
He Is unassuming, Industrious and practi-
cal, loves work. has great executive ability,
and is fond of details. He speaks English,
and is fond Of outdoor sports. and Is a fire.

she attracts in public places. The other
day, while dining in restaurant, she
fancied that the man opposite was pre-
pairing to speak TO her a. he glanced
her way and seemed to be making
up his mind to open a eo2versation.
The Young woman assumed a most
frigid air and looked as unapproacheble
as the Arctic pole The man as he left
the table made one more halfhearted

ears, then hurried away. When the
