SUCCESSOR TO DIAz
Mexico Concerned Over Coming
Vice-PreSidentiaI Election.
Ramon Corral, a Protege Of Diaz, and
Gen. Reyes, Idol Of Army, Lead
ing Candidates Now. With Jose
Limantour a Possibility.

City of Mexico.-What is quite gen
orally conceded to be equivalent to a
campaign for the presidency of Mex
leo is now being waged in this coun-
try, the contestants being Ramon
Corral, the present vice president, and
Gen. Bernardo Reyes. governor Of the
state of Nuevo Leon. These men are
active candidates for vice-president.
The election is not until next year,
and the race promises to become very
exciting by that time
President Diaz. who has agreed to ac-
cept the presidency for another term
of six years. will be so years old Sep
TENDER IS. 1910, and it can hardly be
expected that he win live out his term
of office. 1t is for this reason that
so much Importance is attached to the
election of a vice-president
The vice-presidency of Mexico was
created by an amendment to the con-
stitution six years ago, and Ramon
Corral was the first man elected to
that office. His election was a mere
formality, as he was in reality selected
for the place by President Diaz, who
is said to have had him in training
with the view of making him his sue
cessor. Vice-President Corral was re-
Gently renominated for the Office on
the ticket with President Diaz. The
nomination was not unanimous, rs
some of the delegates to the conven-
ton insisted in voting for Gen.
Reyes, and others wanted to support
Jose Ives Limantour. present minis
ter of finance, but the Corral adher-
ents were in the majority and their
candidate was nominated.
The nomination of Gen Reyes for
vice-president has not been done in
the usual convention form He has
been put up for the Office by means Of
numerously signed petitions by his
friends and admirers all over the
country. It was originally planned
that he was to be a candidate for
president, but when Diaz reconsidered
his intention of not again being
candidate for the high office, it was
decided that Reyes should make the
race against Corral for vice-president.
The anti-American issue promises
to become largely involved in this
campaign. Supporters of Gen. Reyes
are already making an open charge
that it was through Mr.. Corral that

=. II. Hartman obtained from the
Mexican government a remarkably
favorable concession for the railroad
which he is building down the Pa
cific slope of Mexico. and that the
great American railroad magnate will
draw from the public treasury of Mex
leo as a subsidy for building this road
more than $4,000, 600. 1t is claimed
that Mr.. Hartman has other great in
dustrial favors to ask of the Mexican
government and that he is lending his
aid to bring about the election of Mr.
Corral to another term as vice-presi-
dent and to ultimately elevate him to
the presidency.
Mr. Corral, as vice-president, per
forms the dual duty of minister Of the
interior In this Office he supervises
the internal affairs of the country, in
which many Americans, among them
Mr. Hartman, are interested. but his
friends deny that he has extended any
unusual favors to any person.
Mr.. Corral is unpopular with the
army, and without it's united support
Mr. Corral. or any other ruler of Mex
leo. would be badly handicapped in
preserving peace and order Gen
Reyes is the idol of the army His
bravery has been proved upon many
battlehelds. He also has the conf
dence and highest respect OF a large
part of the business element through
out the country 1t is stated that Gen
Reyes personally deplores the fact
that the anti-American issue has been
injected into the campaign During
the long period that he has been con
stitutional governor of the state Of
Nuevo Leon he has always extended
warm welcome to the investment of
American capital in that common

Small Pests, Not the Wild Animals,
Are the Real Troublen Of the
African Hunter.

"The African mosquitoes intoxicate
you. They inject so much poison into
you that you are dazed. your eyes roll
and ycu stagger and speak thickly.
In word. you're drunk" said a mis-
sionary.
In the Nyassa country I'd always
start getting ready for bed and the
mosquitoes an hour before sunset. I'd
set up my mosquito net with the ut
most care. I'd clamp down its edges
with valises and boxes. I'd tight inside
1t three green wood fires. filling it
with bitter smoke that all insects
are supposed to loathe
Finally I'd get in myself. I'd
smoke big pipes Of the black native
tobacco, and I'd long miserably in
that hot, smoky atmosphere for the
dawn.
Despite all my precautions quite
200 or 300 mosquitoes would get in
side my net as soon as darkness fell.
They were like whsrlwind in there.
It couldn't have been worse Their
noise and their nipping made me
feverish-made me really delirious at
times.
At last in exhaustion I'd get a few
hours Of troubled sleep, awakening
for breakfast, drunk from the poison
injected by hundreds of tiny needles
into my veins.
No, it isn't the elephants or the
CRATES that trouble the African hunt
er, but the 'skeeters.

Clement VII in 1858 conferred on his
successors forever.
A lie Mans artist. Mr. Echivard, a
designer OF stained glass windows,
was reminded Of this fact one day by
reading an account OF a stained glass
window in the Church OF st. John at
Lunebourg in which the kaiser is de-
picted He decided that the French
president should no longer lack an
honor that had been paid to the Ger
man emperor, and set to work on a
design showing M. Fallieres, the
president of the republic, and there
fore, according to the artists belief,
successor to the kings as honorary
canon, clothed in a canon's cope and
kneeling on a devotional chair.
The modern and the archaic are
allied in the design The cope is
thrown back sufficiently to show that
M. Fallieres is wearing evening dress
and the grand cross of the Legion of
Honor. The arms of the cathedral
