The difference In the strength of the
two sections Is not great and President
Arriaga Is devotlng all his energies to
conciliating the rival factions but the
chances of his succeeding are not con-
sidered rosy 1t is probable that after
the formation of new cabinet, par
lament will be adjourned. The re-
opening of parliament, however, is ex-
pected to lead to heated contests in
the house.
One of the chief measures Of the new
ministry will be the redrafting of the
separation law. Though considered
just in principle drastic clauses were
inserted in this law through the influ-
ence of Costa, who thereby gained the
support OF the extreme republicans.
