In Spite of Fact That We Grow Bulk
of Worlds Supply.

Washington, May Notwithstanding
the fact that the United States produces
three-fourths of the worlds cotton, the
manufacturers of the country have
drawn raw cotton from every grand di-
vision and nearly score of countries
and islands during the current fiscal year,
according to a report of the department
of commerce and labor
Asia, Africa, the islands of the Pacific,
South America, North America and the
islands of the Caribbean sea have con-
tributed to the supply, while Europe has
forwarded large amounts of cotton i'm
ported from various parts of the world
and re-eXported to the United States.
OF the 100000 pounds of cotton of
foreign production imported in the first
four months of the current year, so, 900 900
came from Egype, 100000 from Indian.
350O,OO0 from China and 100000 from
other foreign countries.
The consumption of domestic cotton
has grown from 513,0OO,00O pounds in 1870
to 1900, 100000 pounds in 1908, the latest
available statistics. The share which
foreign cotton forms of the total domes-
tic consumption is practically 3 per cent.

international Line Between
Maine and Canada
Is Fixed, After Over a Century
Of Contention.
Agreement Reached Without Need
or Arbitration.

Washington, May 22.-The interna-
tional boundary between the United
States and Canada, along the southeast
coast of Maine, has been fixed, accord
ing to a treaty signed yesterday by
Ambassador Bryce and Secretary OF
State Knox as running from a point
in Passamaquoddy bay between Treat
Island and Friar Head and extending
through the bay to the middle of
Grand Manan channel.
The treaty. it is expected, viii be
submitted to the Senate tomorrow for
approval. The line was located with
out report to the arbitration provided
for in the treaty of 1908 between Great
Britain and the United States.
The determination of the line has
been u subject of contention for more
than a century, the intent and mean
ing of the treaties of 1888 and 1914 and
the award of the commissioner ap-
pointed under the latter treaty never
having been accepted as final.
Under the treaty of 1908 it was pro-
vided that each government should
submit arguments in the matter and
that if no agreement was reached with
in fixed time, it should be arbitrated.
Although the time fixed had expired
the two governments have settled the
question without resort to arbitration

The Cleveland Makes Longest Flight
From New England.

st. Hyacinte, Que. May 22.-Two
new records were established Saturday
when the balloon Cleyeland, which
went up from North Adams Friday
night, came down here at 62S A. M.
Saturday, after the longest fight ever
made by balloon from New England.
1t was the first time a balloon from
New England came down in Canada.
The balloon travelled more than 200
miles in an air line, was in the air IL
hours, SO minutes. and reached a
height of 1000 feet.
With A. Leo Stevens as pilot, and car
rying Prof. David A. Todd of Amherst
College. Charles Somerville, a New York
newspaper man, and II. p Sherman of
London, Williams junior. the balloon
went up from North Adams at SAB P. NJ.
Friday. The chief object of the VOYAGE
was to view Halley's comet, but on ac-
count of the haze and the bright moon
the aeronauts were unable to make an
observation.
This voyage puts Mr.. Stevens i'm the
lead for two cups offered for competition
during the present season-the cup offer
ed by the Automobile Club of Canada for
the balloon starting in Massachusetts or
connecticut and landing In the province
or quebec nearest the city of Montreal.
ana that offered by Cortland Field Bish-
op. president of the Aero Club of Amer
ica' Tor the longest flight starting in
New England during the year 1910. The
previous long fight record was made by
william Van Sleet. who covered 1855 miles
last summer. from North Adams to a
town in Maine.
