An Independent Wire Needed

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-Regarding the
extension of the Associated Press lines
from San Antonio to Laredo on the Mexi-
can border and from there to the City Of
Mexico, over the wires of the Mexican
National Railway company. Mr.. Raoui,
president of the Mexican National, says:
although l cannot. at the moment,
discuss the business transactions invoIved
| In the scheme to establish a new line
direct from the United States to the City
OF Mexico | can speak of the advantages
such an enterprise would be to both the
United States and Mexico. My intimate
knowledge of the country and the present
facilities tor obtaining news, either from
or for Mexico, has caused me to give thu
matter my hearty approval because
believe the effort to be in the developm ent
OF Mexico and subsequently in the inter
est of the people OF the United States wEo
have business in the sister republic.
Heretofore any person in Mexico having
| an Item of news. interesting or otherwise,
true or false, has had the privilege of
sending that item to the press OF the
United States with the effect that many
very erroneous accounts have been fast
ened in the minds OF the United States
regarding Mexican affairs.
Furthermore, the fact that news OF
| political interest could be transmitted
from the City of Mexico to Washington
OF lDe reverse, VIII dlillOSI no uelay, ana
also that such news would be authentic
and reliable, Would be of the greatest
value TO both republics"
In conclusion Mr.. Raoul said: "Tt ig
undou btedly true that the Mexicans are
beginning to realize that it is of vital
Importance to their republic to be in
closer touch with the United States, and
an effort, therefore, TO bring the news OF
the United StateSIto the homes of Mexico
must be attended with success. ! am in
hearty sympathy with the scheme, ana

my power to make the enterprise a sue.
