SAN Juan BOUNDARY DECISION

One of the pioneer settlers OF this
island had little argument a few
DAYS ago with another pioneer as TO
the wear in which the San Juan boun-
Diary controversy was finally deter
mined 10y the decision of Emperor
William, of Germany, as arbitrator
The former contended that the de-
ci,ion was given in 1872 while the lat
ter thought it was not until the fol-
lowing year. The question was re-
ierred TO the ISLANDER and as 1t Is a
matter of general interest the an
swer is published: The award was
signed by Emperor William on the
2lst Of October, 1872 Orders were
Immediately given by the British
Government for the removal OF the
troops which had been stationed at
English Camp" during all the years
OF the Joint occupancy. the award,
said President Grant in his message
to congress Dec. =, 1872, leaves us,
Tor the first time in the history of the
United States as a nation without a
question of disputed boundary be-
tween our territory and the posses
sions of Great Britain on this cont
nent." The controversy had lasted
for twenty six years, following the
Oregon treaty of June ID, 1916.

TO CONSIDER COTTON,
Manufacturers to Meet at Washington
to Discuss Situation.

Washington, Feb. 16.-A delegation of
the American Cotton Manufacturers
Association called on the President to
invite him to attend their convention,
which will meet here May IL and 12 for
the consideration of the critical condi-
ton of the cotton manufacturing in
dustry, due to high prices of the raw
material, and to the threatening
troubles in the Chinese market, which
is a large consumer of Southern
cottons.
The latter danger has been greatly
relieved by Secretary Hays note, look
ing toward the localization of the
Observation-Disclosures war. The delegation
expressed to the President their strong
approval of this step, and said that
they had no reason to expect a repeti-
tion of the trouble from that source
which the Boxer disturbances pro-
duced.
Representative William c. Lowering,
one of the delegation and a prominent
cotton manufacturer, said: "The
cotton business of the country is in a
precariOus condition. 1t seems that
when the raw material goes higher the
goods market does not fully respond.
When cotton falls it is feared that
goods will drop still farther. Hence
the situation is vexatious from every
point of view. The manufacturers will
have to consider at their coming meet
ing whether to curtail production, or
to go on, accepting the situation and
pOcketipg the losses"

sian soldiers robbed them of money and
jewe!ry. Some of the Japanese escaped
punishment by bribing the soldiers
The Japanese government and people
are deeply stirred by these reports Of
abuse and suffering sustained by the ref
ugees. They point to their own correct
attitude towards the Russians in Japan
