Mexican congress opens amid progress reports and deadlines
Prestpaxr Dias formally opened the Mexican congress yesterday. His message largely details republic progress over the past year and omits the oil question.

The World's Fair commissioners report an unspent balance of 5 000 dollars. Arizona’s people commend the board’s prudent use of funds. The Prowseron owes M. A. Smith a congressional directory copy containing 300 pages of government facts and member bios. Thirty senators’ terms expire March 3, 1885, and in 1897 and 1890 twenty-nine senate terms end.
