April 4.—The Mas sachusetts mill men. who are travelling in tho south, are being utterly aston ished by the manifestations of good Will being made to them by southern people. Mr. 1). A. Tompkins, under whose di rection the trip is being made, receives each day thirty or forty telegrams from southern cities inviting the party to visit them. The trip is the outcome of tlie agitation in New Kngland. and especially in Massachusetts, of the mat ter of competition of southern mills in the textile mamifaetun Various laws bearing upon this subject were under Consideration before the committee on mercantile affairsof the .Massachusetts legislature. llou tin Trip Originated. Mr. Lovering made an argument in which he set up southern coinpotion as one reason why tin Massachusetts leg islature should go slow in making any laws that might have a tendency to drive New Bngland capital to the south. A few weeks ago he wrote for the Manufacturers Rec ,nl a special article on the subject which brought him into correspondence, through the editor, with Mr. I). A. Tompkins, of Charlotte, N. (’.

MR. WILSO. Tim Wi st >. ii" the Wasiiinotox, April 3.—Tho facts with regard to the settlement of the bounda ry dispute between Mexico and (luata- mala are said to be these: About a yt ar ago the Gautumala police broke : up a n'injber of Mexican lumber camps which were located in a part of the country in dis- puu and over wiilch Guatamala at that tl.ue claim: <! authority. Tliis tract of land embraced about I I«i0 square miles and is particularly valuable for its great timber possessions. While Guatamala Insisted upon Us control of this land, it was Well understood between tho 1 two governments that It would be relinquish! d to Mexico after the boundary line had bei n drawn and accepted by (he two countries. Tho indemnity which Uu itam<il:i. it is said, will p 'V to Mexico, will result from her aetlon in driving from this territory the Mexiean citi zens engaged there in the lumber business. It will not l*e a la rye sunt, and will noi in tho ayere 'ate exeeed some hundreds of thou-andn ■ dollar- but less than n million. On the other hand, the agreement reached between tho Gnatamalun minister at thcf’ltjr of Moxb o. Mr. 1j' on, ar.il the Mexican forel.-n otflce, will result in the absolute control by i Guatamala of another tract of land embrai'ing i l.OOb square miles, which has been •laimed by Mexico, but which the Guatauia.^n govern ment felt it could not relinquish even thou eh war were to folio - , a ; a consequence of this re fusal. This land lies to the east of that here tofore referred to and lies directly in the I nc ■ of travel between the northern and s' .them ! departments of tho republic. The possession j of this land, which, aside from its location, is 1 valuable In mineral deposits and mahogany, ! la of enormous Interest to Guatamala, and is U a matter of fact, of far more importance than tie other and laryer tract In dispute. The agreement rcache 1 by the repre sentatives of the two countries yester- ; day ut the City of Mexico requires tho 1 ratiiiciition of the Mcxieau senate and the Giiataiuaian asscinby, but it is be- j liuved that no ililiiculty net*d be appre hended from either of these sources. The (ftiatamalan minister does not I know the details of the agreement signed yesterday between his country and Mexiep. I<ut he has received from It < auses tho Secretary of State Much ( onrem Just Now. TVAsiiiNo roN, April 4.—The secretary of state is very much concerned these days by tlie Venezuelan problem. The British ultimatum, delivered to Nicara gua. is not a source of present appre hension. for it is now believed that tlie British will take any action in the way of attempting to acquire any territory in that direction or even jeopardize the property of Americans in Nicara gua by a bombardment in the effort to force collection of the indemnity de manded from Nicaragua. These are two moves that might cause the I nit- ed Mates to interfere. But in tlie ease of the Venezuela boundary dispute there is much graver cause for apprehension. It appears that our ambassador, Mr. Bayard, has not succeeded in inducing tin; British government to give heed to the sugges tion made by him at the direction of congress, that the boundary dispute be submitted to arbitration, Tlie British are profuse in their declaration of a willingness to arbitrate tlie title to the lands w.-st of the Nchoinberg line, but in tlie view <>) the state department tliis is a pure evasion of the real issue, for ttier'’ never lias been any reasonable assertion of a British right to this ter ritory. il is the territory lying east of thh line that forms tlie substance of the contention The situation Is be lieved to be alarming. for;i wi ii’ i •n ©.ay: 11© h;: i iiiorij than rk of /r i|> and in*iira] wilit©/. h* h 1© fi him nd the ‘ 1 • f, the (hiutaimiian mi try the following )• Mexico.

A])ril 4.—'i’he Guardian in its commercial article savs: TAt.t.Aiias8i:e, Fla., April 3.- The legislature convened at noon yesterday with only a few vacant seats, (.'orn- plete organization was effected at once. For the presidency of tlie senate Mr. Adams claimed a majority of two. Mr. Myers and his supporters wore con fident of success. M»\ Myert waa elected. 'I'ite four candidates for speaker. Messrs. Jennings, (Jiiehri.sf. Brown and Gaskins were all present at the open ing. Mr. Jennings worked in a quiet way. assisted by his friends, and did not entertain a doubt of his election. Mr. Gilchrist and friends surveyed the field with entire confidence of victory. Mr. leiinings was elected speaker. Since tlie disasters of the severe win ter have fallen so heavily upon the peo ple and railroads alike, it is very evi dent that there has been a reaction in public sentiment as regards the estab lishment of a railroad commission in Florida, and some are now claiming that the legislature will not enact a commission law. It is equally apparent that there is a sentiment, against changing the elec tion law. \\ bile the advocates of the present law are very quiet, the feeling in favor of retaining it is surely grow ing, and the friends of the measure may succeed in defeating its repeal by consenting to proposed amendments. Governor Mitchell's message was brief and related almost entirely to matters of only local interest. Under the head of "prize fighting" the gover nor says: Duriii;' tlie last year a most disgraceful and brutal lU'lit of this chariicter took place In the city of Jacksonville, and parties who resort to til’s laudable orrupation as a ncatu. of making a livin ' without hones* labor are boasting that it:’ < :• Is no lew in this state to previ nt such *11‘4't a ‘ ful cotil cst s, uiid oja lily boast 1 hat an- ot her « .’u will be ''pulled off at Jacksonville m xt Neptembi r.

The woman's name was Mary Martin and the murderer is William Caesar. She had abandoned her husband and had been living with Caesar for several months. In a quarrel on Friday night he killed her by choking. He left her lying on the floor and wont to bed in tiie next room and slept soundly. Next day he was at his usual work all day, as a porter in a hat store. At night he borrowed a clever from ft butcher, cut the woman’s legs off, made t he remains up in a convenient bundle, (she weighed only 100 pounds) and took them to a Sixth avenue oar with the intention of carrying them to the river. The car he rode on went no further than Waverly I'iuce. He then took up his bundle and while con sidering what to do next he rested it on the iron railing in front of the New York Bunk Note eompuny's building. Whether he did not hold it fast or was only too anxious to let it fall anywhere, nt any rate, it over balanced according to the story of the detectives, and fell into tiie space between the railing and th an: ling. Caesar dared not attract attention by climbing after it so lie walked away from the spot, returning home. This was at nine o’cloek Sat., evening. The bundle was not noticed until six o’cloek next morning. Ac quaintances of the woman who knew of her quarrels with Caesar suspected what had happened when the discovery of the body was made public, identified the remains nt the morgue and the rest was easy enough. After his arrest. Caesar tohi tlie whole story. MEANS MUCH TO THE SOUTH. I’roJiTti'il ItikiiI Prom tin- TfimeHnen ( iml Pit-Ills lo ( tiHrlciitou or Port Itoyu!.
