Concert Delights Audience.

The muiscal entertainment given by Prof. Karl Heinrich in the sun parlor of the Weatherford hotel last evening was an unqualified success, and thoroughly enjoyed by a large audience of music loving people. Prof. Heinrich has a rich baritone voice of exceedingly fine timbre, which seems capable of fil- ling any space with sweet melody. This magnificent gift of nature the professor has cultivated to high degree of perfection. His violin selections were heartily appauded and highly appreciated by his audi ence.
 Prof. Heinrich could not have made better selection of an ac- companist than Miss Anna Jones. who enjoys a most enviable reputa- tion as a musician. Prof. Heinrich has been here but short time. but in that time has made wide circle of warm admirers who are much interested in his muiscal work.

or MEXICAN PRESIDENT.
Practically Asssrsd That Present Vice
President. Selected BY Chief
Executive, VIII Succeed 20
High Honor.

Mexico City. Mexico.-It is nov
practically settled that Ramon Cor
raj, vice-president OF Mexico. is to
be the next chief executive Of this
country il President Diaz can bring
that result about. Corral was put for
ward as the active military head of the
nation IN the beginning OF the revolu-
tionary uprising on the northern from
tier. and he is still directing the move
ment Of the troops in that quarter The
war department is now a n0nentity so
far as directing the military affairs in
times like the present trouble is con
cerned.
Mr.. Corral. who in addition to being
vice-president. Is minister Of interior
was chosen by President Diaz to direct
the present active military campaign
upon the border IN face Of the fact that
in times. past when similar uprisings
occurred the war department directed
the movement Of the troops It is ex-
planned in the present case that the
trouble-makers upon the frontier are
bandits. and that they come within the
province OF the department Of interior
and not the war department. For this
reason the duty Of suppressing the un-
lawful bands deyolves upon Mr. Cor
raj instead Of the secretary Of war
It is asserted by men in high official
circles who are not in sympathy with
the Corral presidential movement that
President Diaz has put him forward In
order to enhance his chances for the
presidency. It Is an open secret that

in the army. and that was 1875, when
fought in the army that made Diaz
president. It is said that President
Diaz. In order to place Mr.. Corral in
touch with the military branch Of the
government and increase his popularity
with the officers and men Of the army,
put him in charge Of the campaign
against the malcontents in northern
Mexico.
Corral has been the special protege
OF President Diaz for many years. It
was Diaz' influence that opened the
way for Mr. Corral to the general public
positions that he has held He was
born IN 1854 In the state Of Sonora. He
was given a good education, and at the
age OF 20 years he began the pub
lication of a newspaper in his native
town and acquired a wide reputation
as a writer When Diaz assumed the
presidency OF Mexico Corral was
elected to the legislature Of the state
OF Sonora and soon afterward became
secretary Of state OF Sonora. In 1887
he was elected yice-governOr OF that
state and filled that office until 1896,
when he was chosen governor Of So
nora By direction Of President Diaz.
AS governor he inaugurated many
reforms in education and otherwise
improved the condition Of the state.
In 1890 Mr.. Corral was brought to this
city BY President Diaz and was made
governor Of the federal district, IN
cludsng the capital. The next political
advancement which President Diaz
placed upon his protege was to make
hira. IN 1903, minister Of interior.
A still further step was thought 70
be necessary In order to make Corral
IN direct line for the presidency, and
that was to place him next to the
president in point Of position and pow
er. This could not be done without
amending the constitution so as to
create the Office OF vice-president. but
It Is an easy thing to amend the con
stitution Of Mexico. In 1904 an
amendment was adopted, creating the
new ONCE, and Corral was declared
elected to the position. He has been
vice president four years, and his
term viii expire in October. 1910, the
time at which Diaz will retire from the
presidency.
