PRES. D|Az TELLS CONGRESS IF
 CONDITIONS

The twentyfourth annual congress opened in Mexico City on the 1sn inst. President Diaz delivered his message which was of the customary practical character and dealt with al public interests in characteristicall, 6usiness-Iil1e manner.
 The following are some of the sal; ent points th the message:
 Electoral Agitation.
 During the past few months a polt tical campaign has been started preparatory to the presidential cleo tions which will take place next year It is certainly good thing that the Mexican people should demonstrate growing interest in the exercise of their electoral righs, as 1t Is an earn est that in selecting their rulers ln the fuure they will maintain the con quests which the republic as achieved under te benificent sway of peace. Un ! fortunately the political propaganGa has not in all instances been adjuste, to the peaceful methods sanctioned by law, and at the instigation of agitators actuated by personal interests, some disturbances have occurred which the police have suppressed with marked moderation. The government, whose principal duty is the maintenance o: public order. will not allow that order to be perrurbed, even though it be necessary to resort to energetic meas ures. It confidently hopes, however. that the necessity will not arise. and that our citizens vii show that they know how to make use of their poll tical rights in subjection to the law
 Yaquis Quiet.
 The Yaqih Indians have remainet quiet and engrossed in peaceful pur suits. The few of hem who keep to the mountains are also quiet, as foI year past they have committed nc excesses.
 Operations In National Lands.
 During the period embraced between January 1st and June SOth. 1909. tho Department of Fomento issued 715 t: tie deeds for land. transformed frorI national into private property, yielding receipts of an aggregate amount o s117, ,6s7 to the national exchequer.
 Facts as to Mining. During the second half of the last | fiscal year, 2,O72 title deeds to mines were made out Comparing the nun 1 Der of title deeds made out in the | fiscal year 190s-1909. with the number made out in the previous year 1907 1908. We find a decrease of thirty-si& per cent. due in part. to the financial l crisis and the low price of metals.
