AInEKlLA WINS
ARBITRATION.
Every Point OF Decision Favors the
United States.
EXCEPT AS TO PORTLAND.
Successful Termination of Boundary
Arbitration Came as Complete Sur.
prise to all Interested Except the
Commission.

Londen.-The Alaskan boundary
commission has verbally agreed to
grant all the American contentious ex.
eept for the Portland canal, which
goes to Canada. The formal agree
ment is being drawn up.
The successful termination OF the
Alaskan boundary arbitration came as
complete surprise to all interested
IN the case except perhaps the com
missioners themselves.
When the tribunal adjourned it was
understood that no decision would be
reached till next week, that several of
the counsel aud others employed in
the case left Loadon soon after the
adjournment.
However, the Associated Press
learned that the vote had been taken
and that decision to grant all the
American contentious except that for
the Portland canal, which goes to
Canada, had been arrived at.
No hitch occurred during the entire
deliberations, and as these progressed
the confidence of the American COM
missioners that decision substantially
upholdlng the American claims would
be given increased, but it was admitted
that it would be necessary to agree to
compromise on the Portland canal.
The only really disquieting feature
OF the situation for the Americans dur.
ing the last few days has been a vague
idea that Chief Justice Alversone, even
Ii he concluded to take the American
view, might be unwilling to go on
record with decision to that effect
and that disagreement was likely.

CHAMPION COTTON PICKER
John Williams Gathers 1867
Pounds in One Day.

So far as is known John Williams,
colored, holds the state champion
ship as cotton picker. John is a
native of Navarro county, but he
made his wonderful record for gath
ering the fieecy staple in Ellis coun-
ty last fall. He is twenty-five years
old and was born and reared in Ma
varro county. During the time in-
tervening between the cotton pick
ing seasons for the past four years
he has worked for H. l.. Scales in
Corsicana, and bears the reputation
of being an honest, hard working
and Industrious young negro. He
came to Ellis county early last sea-
son along with other negroes from
Navarro county and found employ
ment in the cotton fields ON the
/ Harrison farm near this city. Dur
! ing the entire season he picked a
total of $500 pounds, 1r about
thirty and a half bales. His highest
! record for one day last year was
/ ,131 pounds, but when cotton is
better opened he expects to make a
new record this season.
Williams has the contract this
year to gather the entire crop on the
| Harrison farm and has several ne
/ groes, whom he brought from Ma
varro county, working under him.
He was in the city yesterday to
meet another gang Of pickers from
/ that county aud take them to the
/ farm where they were to begin work
/ this morning. In conversation with
a reporter for this paper John saiG
/ he worked five days last week and
made SlJ.lj, picking in the five days
| 3,032 pounds, for which he received
/ fifty cents hundred. His best
( days work during the week was on
/ Thursday when he picked 6S1 pounds
/ Williams says the cotton he pick I'd
in last week was little scattering,
there being not more than three and
four open bolls to the stalk. When
the cotton begins to open freely he
expects To beat last years record.
