will present Mozart's Concerto for
two pianos and orchestra, in Il fiat.
These three celebrated artists have
rehearsed these concertos in their
summers at Seal Harbor, Ne. and
have presented the works In Phil

praise has always been bestowed for
the suppression OF their individuality

Besides the two concertos, the pro-
gram also contains Gluek's Overture,
"Iphigenie en- Aulide," and the Eighth
symphony Of Beethoven, the most ra-
diant and joyful OF the composers
nine works. The melody which forms
its principal motive was extemporized
by Beethoven as a short vocal canon

vices from Tampico indicate that the
strike of mechanics in that port is
said to be giving evidences of weaken
ing and is about to end in defeat to
the strikers. A number of mechanics
of the second class have returned to
their places and are working again,
manifesting realization that it is
impossible to live without the product
of their labors.
Mechanics of the first class have
not commenced yet to give in, but it
is believed they can hold out very lit
tie longer.
Leaders of the strike are hostile to
the idea of yielding, but they cannot
hold their men much longer, it is
said.
A telegram from Saltillo states that
General Obregon, who is in that city
on his presidential campaign, is ill
with influenza, and his situation is
considered serious.
Consular advices from Tampico to
the American embassy in this capital
state that exports of petroleum from
Mexico in the year 1919, through the
ports at Tampico, Port Lobos and
Tuxpam, reached the total of 80,79O,-
900 barrels, being an augmentation
,of AZ per cent over the shipments Of
