QUE MEXICAN nELATIoNs-THE COMING RE-

TON QUESTION.
Mr.. Sohisioher, Of Texas, ~ chairman Of the sub.
committee Of the Foreign Affairs Committee which
hes bssn inquirng into our relations with Mexico,
will make his report probably next Friday.
The evidence and documents he win pre-
sent contain very complete account Of the
interviews. diplomatic and otherwise. between the
two countries Tor tho last twenty years and will form
. volume indispensable to thorough understanding
Of what We call The Mexican question.
Mr.. Schlechers report will recite the present con-

the commercial relations between the countries.
and Mr.. Schiecher's committee are IN entire
accord Ia wishing well TO the Mexican poo
pie and government; Tut whether Mr.. Schleichcr
will recommend in hts report the immediate recogni.
ton OF the Diax government s uncertain. That gov
eminent appears, according 10 tho best accounts to
be firmly seated and there doubt that the course
OF President Daz has produced here q favorable
impression In effect our own government has
pursued policy toward Mr.. Diaz which
makes actual recognition Q mere tormahty. Our
troops the Texan border have vigorously repressod
al efforts Of the Lerdista leaders use Texas as
base for revolutionary attempts, and this Is more
than the last administration ever did in favor Of
Lsrdo, the former President In this and In
other ways President Hayes has shown his
desire that Mexico shall, so far as
we can help her, maintain q stable
government. Whether the recognition Of Presi-
don't DIas will really strengthen him seems to DO
matter OF doubt with many persons hero. These
ssy thas ~ soou no IL recognized by tho United

OF Ysvouttonaries who arc now powerless, because
the resentment against in Mexico for failure
recognize their President for tho moment unites the
people In favor Of Daz
II is curious that the old project Of tho McI.ane
treaty, which proposed treaty offensive and deicn.
svs between the two countries and allowed the
sttutional authorities Mexico call for material
help from u.s. such troops and arms, is once moro
spoken OF here 1t is urged that mere moral sup
port, such government would in any case give
70 the Of pence or order In Mexico, repre-
scented by a firmly settled administration such as
that OF President Disz, can never amount to much
Moral support valueless unless u behind 1t the
promise Of material aid. But, say some people, II 1t
we're arranged that our government should furnish
10 the Mexican administration It's call force OF
troops, In that the orco OF the moral sup
port would enable ecient ruler easily to maintain
order In Mexico.
One proposition will probably DO plainly stated by
Mr. Schlecher-that is the absolute necessity that our
own citizens living in Mexico shall be protected
against violence and forced loans by the Mexican
authorities and that the Mexican government can
not, Tor lack Of troops or means protect the
border line and prevent the incursions OF robbers
into the cattle regions OF Texas, troops must
DO this work.
The evidence taken by tho committee shows that
cattle and other raids have greatly diminished in
number since the accession OF President Dmz wehave
now on the border 5000 troops. and this number is
found n DO sufhcicnt to guard the border. II Mr.
Diaz should encourage immigration into Mexico by
Offering protection to public improvements and to
private enterprise he would do much, is thought
TO settle tho question. Nobody hero desires to &C.
quire any territory from Mexico.
