WASHINGTON, November 20-Our minis
ter TO Mexico, Mr.. Nelson, had a long in

noon, relative to the condition of affairs in
that country. He speaks in terms of praise
OF the new President of that republic, and
particularly of his intelligence and desire
to preserve and strengthen the friendship
now existing between his own country and
the United States.
There seems to be no obstacle in the way
of concluding new convention, extending
the time for disp0sng of the remaining
claims before the United States and Mexi-
can mixed convention, which, by limitation,
will expire under the present convention in
February next. 1t is stated that the Mexi-
can President is anxious for such exten
sion. and will appoint an agent Id good
faith TO carry out the design of the commits
sion in place of Mr.. Guzman, by whose ao-
ton the proceedings were some weeks ago
interrupted. Preliminary steps have al
ready been taken for new convention.

Attorney General Williams, today made
his report 10 the President on tho appli-
cation Of Barney Woods for Communication
OF sentence of death TO imprisonment for

yicted at the present term of the criminal
court for the murder Of S. NJ. Gheesman, Of
New York. Lass summer.
The Attorney General says that fop she
protection OF society it was necessary to
shov that the death penalty should follow
certainly and quickly upon the commission
OF the crime. and that there vas nothing in
this ease to justify the remission of the
punishment awarded by the court ON the
contrary. 1T was murder without che
slightest eveHse oE palliatiOn.
Che feeling generally in this community
is there should be no delay in the adminis-
tration of justice, especially in eases of
murder. and thai the extreme penalty of
the law should be visited upon alb ger
petrators OF that crime. @V0od vii! be

WASHINGTON, November l7.-An interest
ing case showing the liability of hotel
keepers was decided yesterday BY Chief
Justice Carter of the district supreme court.
Several wears ago noted female lobbyist
put up at one OF the hotels here, then kept
by Marshall Brown. After staying long
enough to incur a considerable bill,
and her business being dull, she took her
departure, the proprietor retaining her bag
gage in lieu of the amount of her bill. The
trunk was retained for long period but
was finally returned. The woman, ten
years afterward, brings suit to recover the
value Of $2l7 for certain articles which she
alleges were abstracted from her trunk,
Judge Carter, in deciding the case, said the
landlords lien gave him the right to detain
the baggage at the time and have it sold at
public sale and the hotel bill paid ont Of
the proceeds. If he detained the baggage
beyond such reasonable time he was respon-
sible for the loss. The jury gave the plain
tiff $50, although she confessed she
had not yet paid the board bill. The defen-
dant viii now bring suit for the amount Of
