A meteor fell into the Seaconnets
river at Tiverton, R. l., yesterday
churning up the waters in spectacu-
lar manner. Great volumes of steam
arose. The meteor fell during an
electrical storm. The crash, resemb-
ling thunder, was heard for distance
of 20 miles. In the immediate vicin-
ity windows were broken and crock
cry shaken from shelves, while at Is
land park, nearly 2 miles away, a
merry go-arounG was Jared into mo-
ton. Persons who saw the meteor
assert that it was Of unusual size,
and travelled so rapidly as to appear
from q Short distance almost like a
flash Of lightning.

BOUNDARY | LINES
OF TWO STATES
Long-Standing Issue Be:
tween Maryland and
Virginia.
DISPUTE NEAR END
Was Considered at Alexandria and
Mount Vernon at Close of ReyOlu-
tionary Conflict.
DISPUTE NEAR END

Washington, Aug" 29.-The long
dispute between Maryland and Vir
ginia over the boundary line between
the two states in the Potomac river
involving also the regulation of tn,
oyster season on the lower Potomac
seems to be nearing an end. Al
agreement was made possible by the
acts Of legislatures Of the two states
last year. Among the steps ther
taken was the appointment of com
missioners by the two States to con
fer and reach an agreement if pos.
sible. The two commissioners are
clothed with plenary powers.
The Maryland commission is pre-.
pairing to meet the Virginia commits
sion and to enter into negotiations
looking to the settlement of the long
controversy. The two commissions
will meet on the Potomac river.
When ithe war of independence
over threw British sovereignty and
the colonies became states, each was
free to do as it chose in matters of
commercial regulations, and discord-
ant action caused troublesome COM
plications.
General Washington was president
of the Potomac Company, and prede-
cessor of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal. and it was matter of direct
concern TO the plans Of that company
that there should be an agreement
between the two States in regard to
the navigation of the Potomac ard
the Chesapeake Bay In lT8o COM
missioners appointed by the two
States were to meet at Alexandria.
General 9<Washington Invited them to
his residence Mount Vernon. There
in his parlor was framed "the COM
pact Of 1885," modification of which
is the purpose of the negotiations now
going on.
When the long dispute between
MARYLAND and Virginia over the boun-
dary line was settled in 1877 by the
award of an arbitration. commission 1t
was decided that the dividing line be-
tween the two states is at low wa
te,:gimarks OH; the Southern Shore. :
Thus the Potomac river through
out it's entire length between Virgil
nia and Maryland belongs wholly to
MARYLAND and yet Maryland Is re-
strained by the compact of 1875
from legislating in regard to fishing
rights in the Potomac except by IN"
consent of Virginia, as otherwise the
law is practically void.
The result is the Potomac River
has become mo mans land where
people may fish or oyster in season or
out of season without liability, and
when an illegal cargo of oysters is
overhauled anywhere in the bay the
ready excuse may be offered that
they come from the Potomac.

Situation Practically Unchanged
Lind at Vera Cruz But May Re-
turn TO Mexico City

Washington, Aug. 29.-Consterna-
ton has been caused among Amerl-
cans in Mexico by President Wilson's
message warning them to leave the
country Believing that their lives are
endangered, many are abandoning ev-
erything they possess in their haste
to reach safety. That there will be 4
general response to the advice given
by the President is certain State De-
partment officials now believe that in
two weeks there hardly will be q
Thousand Americans left in the troub-
led southern country.
DuI.!r The last three weeks it is
estimated that 10000 people have
left Mexico. Many had refused to
consider leaving before the word
came Of the Presidents urgent advice
and since then. hundreds have been
starting for home or abroat daily.
Just what proportion Of the 10000
Americans remaining in Mexico will
need help from the Government in
getting away is nor definitely known,
but it is believed fully 1000 will
stand in such need.
The 100000 appropriation
Secretary Bryan some tim
aid refugees is now held to
ed Immediately.
In this connection il is ma ~
It the State Department tina
! GOO and 5000 refugees
aided with money or transpol Ca..U..
since last February.
In aiding American refugees the
American Red Cross has spent about
$4,000, and last year trips by the
army transport Buford to ports or
the west coast of Mexico for the relief
of Americans cost the Government
about 5000.
How complete the exodus from
Mexico has been is shown by the fac
that, where two or three years ago
there were $4,000 Americans in Mex
leo. according to State Department
figures. there are now only about TO-
900. and i; is confidently believed
that there will be less than tenth of
his number within month, unless
conditions across the border improve.
President Wilson is awaiting new
aGviccs from former Governor John
Lind before deciding whether to GO to
Cornish this evening for the week
end If the news is favorable. he
probably will leave the city about .
o'clock. if not he vii! stay.
1t was understood here that Mr..
Lind would return to Mexico City 20.
day to resume negotiations. but the
State Department is not yet advised
that he is gone. There has been no
confirmation o! the press dispatches
from Mexico City that President
Huerta has sent third note to Mr..
Lind. Nevertheless, Administration
officials continue to be optimistic that
the negotiations will soon be resumed.
Secret;ry Bryan returned this
morning from his lecture engagement
at Newhope, Pa. and is scheduled
to speak tonight at Kenneth, Pa.
