We have dealt elsewhere with President Wilson's piece of good
fortune, but must chronicle here the latest facts as to General Huerta's resignation and the appointment of his successor, Seim Carbajal. General Huerta's formal resigna- tion was on Wednesday night presented to Congress, and accepted by a vote of 121 to 17. Thereupon Senor Carbajal was appointed President, took the oath, and proceeded to the Palace. "Order'," it is stated, "is maintained everywhere." Before leaving the capital for Puerto Mexico, General Huerta appeared at his favourite cafe and toasted his successor in what he declared would be his last toast in Mexico City. As to future developments it would be useless to prophesy, but it is to be feared that the Constitutionalists are not likely to use their victory, for such it of course is, very wisely. It remains to note that Seilor Carbajal was Foreign Minister in the Huerta. Government, and had previously been Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
