TEXAS WANTS TIE ISLANDS

Texas is q big State. alike in point Of

A few small islands lie in the Sabine
River next to the Louisiana line At
this distance nobody has ever heard that
they are specially valuable, having
been formed by the gradual accumuls-
lions OF sand banks and drift from the
waters OF the sluggish Sabine. Some
time ago Louisiana laid claim 10 these
islands. made representations before the

since been more or less aggreyed over
the loss OF the territory.
Texas, following her ancient history,
might have declared war against Louisi-
ana and probably forced the return re-
turn of the title after more or less
sanguinary struggle. in which deseen-
dants OF Sam Houston and other great
celebrities would have won renown. But

MEXICO has NEWS BUREAU
Under Supervision of Experienced
Editors and Reporters.
All Official Information Regarding
Governmental Affairs Goes

Oncials of the Mexican government
have been long complaining about the
time they have had to give TO newspaper
men. and of the manner in which their
statesments have been garbled and mis-
represented in print To meet the diff
Guilty the government has established
news bureau, charged with the duty OF
preparing and giving out all official news
TO the newspapers
Hereafter no official OF the Mexican
government may make a statement TO
the press affecting administrative affairs.
Not even the governors of the various
states may do so, and whstever state
ment they or other government officials
may have TO make TO the press win be.
made through the news bureau TO be
operated under the supervision OF the
central government. According to a
circular letter just sent out by the Mex
lean department of the interior the bu-
reau became active on July 1.
In charge of the bureau Is Alexandra D.
Ainslee, a Scotch Mexican, formerly ed
itor OF Ell impartial. a government organ.
and now a member of the chamber OF
deputies from the state of Tamaulipas.
Working under him is q corps of assist
ants. most OF them newspaper men. Mr..
AinsIee Is said TO be peculiarly fitted for
the work. He is a great linguiss in
Spanish, English, German, and French,
and has the reputation of being one OF
the best journalists in Mexico.
According to statement made by the
government the news service was not
established with a view OF controlling
information on its affairs but to make it
easy for all publications to- get accur-
ately such news as the government may
have to give out. It Is claimed by the
men IN charge that competition among
Mexican newspapers has OF late become
so acute that many Of them do no longer
adhere to the strict truth in their quota

come this the bureau has been estab-

In a recent lecture before a Norwegian

the conclusion that electric smelling is
a success only in the finer grades Of
steel. such as that used in the best cut
lery. He concludes that for most of the
common grades of steel the process is
too expensive at present. compared with
the usual method of smelling by coke or

New York, July 9.-If yesterdays gov
eminent report regarding the condition
OF the spring wheat crop was rather more
unfavorable than had been generally
looked for IN Wan street, to-day's bank
statement came as a surprise OF much
more pleasing character.
In the average bank figures to-day a
loss in cash was indeed shown of
sls51LoOO or nearly twice that shown In
yesterdays preliminary estimates, and
although this was accompanied by a de-
crease in loans Of s7.52i.0O0 1t was still
sufficient to pull down the average sur
plus 70 SI1,S26.eo0. as against s1G,s1s, 600
last week
But the actual figures, that is TO say
those showing the exact condition of the
banks at the close of business last night,
told far different story. Here an in
crease in cash of ss,S54,OO0 was shown,
Which. with large decrease in loans of
k24.02l, 900. resulted in an increase in the
actual surplus of $S.9S7.OO0.
A Favorable Comparison.
Both the actual and average figures Of
the surplus now make a very good COM
parison with those Of previous years at
this time. OF course, the bank figures
to-day did not appear until after the
end Of business. and It was, therefore.
not little significant that In spite of
universal belief that the clearing house
institutions would make poor showing
the stock market betrayed a strongly ad-
vancing tendency.
1t may be that this was because OF the
calm overnight reflection of spectators
that yesterdays crop report was not so
unfavorabIe after all. This. at least,
was a reasonable way OF looking at
the matter: but it is more likely that
the rising tide was stimulated by recog-
milton OF the fact that the stock market
is now al a level where purchases Of Sc
eurities for investment by the largest
financial interests In the country have
become a distinct feature OF the situa-
ton.
Security Prices Hold Up.
The most important development Of
this week. at least from a purely stock
market point of view, has been the in
creasing evidences that security prices
have discounted for the time being the
effect Of most of the unfavorable argu-
ments that can be brought to bear
against it. IN addition to all this. gem
eral causes making for depression the
last month has witnessed, as is now
beyond question, an impairment OF the
spring wheat crop so that as matters
now stand. or, at least, as reported by
the government figures. the indications
are for a total wheat crop about 100.-
100000 bushels less than last year
This dedustisa is based, however, upon
the assumption that the condition Of the
$ spring wheat crop remains unimproved
from now until the time Of harvest; and
past history offords many instances where
a decided improvement in the crop has
taken place through a similar period. As
onSetting whatever damage has been
done TO wheat, there is a splendid prom
