THE BOUNDARY TROUBLE.

Mounted Police. 1t IL Said. viii Be
Sent to the Porcupine Region.
Chicago. July IA special to the
Tribune from Washington says: An
intimation has been received by the
state department that the Canadian
government will send force of mount
ed police to the Porcupine region, in
British Columbia. If this is done, the
United States government will respond
by sending troops to Pyramid harbor to
protect the interests of the American
citizens.
The situation is extremely grave,
and will call for delicate work on the
part of both governments to preserve
peace. The Porcupine region is part
of the territory now in dispute, which
would be neutral ground if a modus
vivendi were agreed upon. This is the
point where clash came near being
precipitated some time ago between
American and Canadian miners. At
that time this government ordered
troops to Pyramid harbor to preserve
peace. The action came to the notice
of the British embassy here. and it was
brought to the attention of the Sails
bury government, which entered pro.
test, and requested that the orders be
cancelled. This was done. and the
Canadian government agreed to with
draw its mounted police. Both gov
ernments have lived up to their agree
ments. and since that time neither
American troops nor Canadian mount
ed police have been in the Porcupine
region.

Texas Cotton Crop.

Austin. Tex, July 1s.-The cotton
exchange in this city completed today
the work of carefully tabulating the
losses in the cotton crop. attendant
upon the Bras0s river food. They find
that the loss in tho Braxoa bottom will
be 100000 bales Of cotton. represent.
ing IS, 900. 600 loss. They also ind
that the heavy rains which produced
the floods and ruined the crops in the
bottom have benefited cotton-growing
on the upper lands pgoportionately, so
that by far the best crop harvested in
years will be produced from the high
lands this season, and they predict that
the foods will have little elect on the
cotton yield Of Texas.
