ELLSWORTH, Me-, May 3-The Cimbria still
remains at Southwest Harbor, an object of
curious interest. The officers finding the Maine
law in full force, have been permitting the
men to come on shore quite freely. The men
are evidently surprised to find no liquors. They
are very peaceable and inoffensve, and of
course perfectly sober. The officers are going
about over the island, visiting different points
of interest They are very gentlemany and
are very popular with the people, who are full
of sympathy with the Russians. Indications
point to considerate stay here. Two English
men, one Rear-Admiral W. Gore Jones of the
British navy, now on duty at Washing ton, the
other supposed to be the British consul at
Portland, have been here to-day. They made
many inquiries, but could learn nothing new.
They desired to see the manifest and then tried
to get on board the steamer, but failed. Mr..
Jones returned to-day, bat the other remains
on watch. No person not on the service of
the ship has been allowed on board today.
The officers manifest some little annoyance at
press reports, which they regularly receive.
The steamers manifest contains nothing but
ship stores.
LONDON, May 3-The Central News says the

Murder on Ii gard n Machias Schooner.
New YORK, May 3.-The Brooklyn police
have discovered that the murder of the boat
man, FeTrin, whose body was found few days
ago with quantity of chain and canvas bag
full of iron attached to it, was committed on
board the schooner Mary B. Harris of Machias,
which vessel after discharging her cargo of
lumber anchored near the Erie Basin. Capt.
Crowley left her there in charge of two sailors
and did not return until four days after Ferrin
disappeared. He then took her to Jersey City,
took on board some cargo and sailed for an
Eastern port, where she is soon expected to
arrive. The canvas bag and chain belonged to
the schooner and the captain made the two
men pay for them, they stating they
had lost them. One of the men who left
the schooner was traced by Capt Reilly of the
Brooklyn police and arrested last night. 1t is
reported that he confessed the crime this after
noon. The man is kept in close confinement,
as the neighbors of the murdered man threaten
to lynch him if chance is given them.

ports Crossing the Rio Graude.
WASHINGTON, May Sat the Cabinet Coun-
Gil to-day serious attention was given to recent
reports relating to agitations on the Mexican
border There is abundant evidence of the
fact that strong movement IS inaugurated by
the frinds of Lerdo on the American side of the
Rio Grande to cross over for the purpose of
creating trouble for Dlaz. Reports to this
effect have been received by our government.
adjourned issued an order to Gen. Ord enioining
upon him to be particularly vigiant in the
endeavor to prevent any invasion of Mexican
territory with hostile intent from the American
side of the Rio Grande. The opinion in ad-
minlstration circles is that there will be serious
trouble in Mexico and particularly along the
border. The followers of Lerdo are without
doubt the 1nstigators of Indian raids into
American territory for the pur pose of having
the United States troops pursue them across
the river, and thus produce additional cOmpli-
cations with the Mexican government This
fact was mentioned at the Cabinet meeting,
Escobedo is in Texas and the opinion that be
should be arrested for violating the neutrality
laws was expressed by some members of the
Cabinet. The foregoing information has been
received by the government through number
OF official channels, including not only
military authorities but civil officials subordi-
nate to the State department and the depart
ment OF justice. Directions will be immediate.

Fall River Cation Mill Managpmaut

Few people indeed outside of the cotton
manufacturing district of Southern Massachu-
sets know to what an extent the credit of the
corporations is used in the prosecution of the
business The capital stock of the mill rarely
represents more than what is known as the
''plant', the mill itself and. the machinery.
Everything beyond that is credit Money must
be borrowed to buy cotton, to pay operatives
to hold production; n fact for everything even
to the payment of dividends. Large sums are
borrowed on the notes of the corporation en-.
dorsed by tue directors. Other sums are Dor.
rowed on the unsold product, aud supplies are
bought on time. As an instance of the extent
of this borrowing, take the case of
the Sycamore mills, one of the cor
porations ruined by Hathaway. The
capital stock of the mills was $3.50 OOO The
assets were upwards of S0O, O0O-I don't remem-
Der the exact fgures-all of which, with excep-
ton of a sum upwards of $100, 900 as surplus,
represents debt. To the credit of Fall River it
must be said that the paper of the corporations
has been promptly met, and its credit has
stood high The system however, offered the
opportunities which Chace aud Hathaway have
been the first who are known to avail them
selves of. There was a necessity for endorse
ments and plenty of them. So any of the
directors who are accessible are called upon.
How many notes they endorse and
what they endorsed for few of them know:
that is left to the treasurer. Nor can any one
of the directors tell the amount of paper of
his corporation that is on the market. The
same names are not all of the notes. Is it any
wonder that rascally treasurer who finds
how easy it is to secure the endorsement of
wealthy men and then to discount the paper.
should take advantage of it? The horse is
gone, and a very large and valuable animal he
was. The banks of Fall River and its yicinage
are now diligently engaged in devisiug tasten-
ings for this barn door.

PANAMA.
Conflict between Authorities and the
Captain of an American Vessel,

Conflict between Authorities and the
Captain of an American Vessel.
NEW YORK, May Panama dates of April
Oath certain an interesting account of a quasi
conflict at Aspinwall with the Columbian
authorities. The facts are as follows:
Schooner Lorine, Capt. Kane, from Philadel-
phia with coal Tor the Pacific National Steam
ship Company arrived at Colon on the even
ing of the 18th inst. On the morning of the
10th inst, the captain of the port demanded
the ships papers from the captain which were
refused. Capt Kane then:went to the United
States consul where he delivered his register
and crew list to the consul according to law.
A demandIthen was made upon the consul for
papers which he also refused. Notice was
then served upon the captain of the Lorine
that he was fined $500 and must furnish
security to the amonnt of 500, 900 before be
would be permitted to discharge his cargo
This also was refused. Meantime the cantain
of the port sent squad of soldiers to the
wharf, and upon steam being made and a
bucket OF coal hoisted out of the hole the
soldiers stopped Inc dIscharging at the point of
the bayonet. The coal was for the use of
transit and the captain of the port 10 his effort
to enforce an absurd law violated the contract
between Panama Railroad Company and the
Columbian government and the treaty of 1S4S
by which freedom of transit is expressly
guaranteed. Lorine was fined $500 and a few
days afterward the steamship California was
fined $500 for refusal to give up the ships
register. The Crescent City was also fined
although no attempt was made to obstruct the
work of discharging the vessels.
The president of the state was at once adj
vised of the proceedings going on in Aspin-
wall and took measures to put stop to them.
He telegraphed to the captain of the port to
suspend action. The captain of the port
replied he was acting under direct orders from
Bogota and must 60 on. The Secretary of
State then went over, but his persuasions,
arguments and orders were entirely disregardeG
The president himself then went to Aspnwal
and by dint of arguments, threats, etc, sue
ceeded in putting a stop to the execution of
the law until the general government could be
referred to.
The Lorine was detained three days after be-
ing ready to discharge and no doubt claim will
be made by the United States for damages. No
attempt was made to enforce the law in Pana-
ma as the Captain Of the port takes his orders
from the state executive. q. S. Consul Thorn
ington has written strong letter to the CO.
lumbar authorities in which he states that
American vessels are compelled by the law of
their own country to deposit their registers
with the consuls representing their govern
ment, and that the matter has been referred to
Washington for action and cautions them
against further lke action to American vessels.
