WASHINGTON, April 2O.-The president has
transmitted to Congress a letter addressed by
the Minister plenipotentiary of Mexico; to the
secretary of state, proposing a conclusion
convention between the two countries for de-
fining the boundary between the United States
and Mexico from the Rio Grand 10 the Pacific
ocean, by the erection of durable monuments.
He'alSo lays before congress a letter on the
same subject with It's accompaniment from
the secretary of war 10 whom the proposition
was referred by the secretary OF state for the
expression of his views thereon.
The president states that he deems l. of i'm
portauce that the boundary line between tho
United States and Mexico as defined by the
existing treaties and as already surveyed,
should be run anew and defined by suitable
permanent monuments and says that by so do
ing uncertainty will be prevented as to the
jurisdiction in criminal and municipal affairs,
and questions will be averted which may, at
any timeiu the near future arise with growth
of population on the border. He continues:
Moreover, ! conceive that willing and
speedy assent of the government of the United
States to the proposal thus to determine the
existing stipulated boundary with permanenee
and precision will be in some sense an asSur-
auce to Mexico, that the unauthorized suspi-
cion which of late years seem to have gained
some credence in that republic that the United
States covctS and seeks to annex neighboring
territory, is without foundation. That which
The United States seeks, and which the definite
settlement of the boundary in tie proposed
manner will promote, is confding
and friendly feeling between the two
nations and advantageous commerce and
closer commercial relations. [ have to sus-
gest that in accepting this proposal, suitable
provision be made for an adequate military
force on the frontier to protect surveying par
ties from hostile Indians. Troops so en-
ployed will at the same time protect the set
tiers on the border and help to prevent ma
rauding on both sides By nomsdic Indians.

tious-His Statements.
| BosroN, April S0.-In West Somerville to-
day Mrs Mary Russell, aged 10, was killed by
her son. in law, Edwin W. Prescott, aged 10.
Mrs Russell's daughter. who is Prescott g
second wife, went to Boston this forenoon.
and on her return was met at the door of her
house by her husband, who told her he had
| Just killed her mother. The woman, horri-
| fed, ran to the police station. Officers going
| to the house found in a back woodshed, the
body of Mrs. Russell, with the skull frac.
| tured, the face crushed in and throat cut
from ear to ear. The murderer was secured
and taken to jail. The tragedy has created
intense excitement, the parties to 1t moving in
the highest social circles.
Prescott was for many years dry goods
merchant in Arlington and afterwards In
Cambridge and amassed q fortune. About
four years ago he sold out and entered the
employ OF Jordan, Marsh & Co., OF this city,
as superintendent. Since he retired from
business he lost heavily in various ways, I'M
til ONLY remnant of his fortune remained.
This worried him and he often complained of
pains in his head. He complained that his
mother-in]aw aggravated him, dldn'G supply
him with sufficient food and feared she
estranged his wife and children from him.
He says after his wife had gone to Boston,
he came down stairs about 10 O'Clock, and
found the breakfast cold. He made remark
about it to Mrs. Russell, to which she re-
piled tauntingly. He then went after her as
she was going to the shed of the kitchen
with household utensils. He caught her as
she was descending some steps and pushed
her down. In the struggle she got him down
and aimed several blows at him with the arti-
Gle IN her hand. This angered him, and
throwing the old lady off be reached for
brick, then holding her down by his wei ght,
he battered her face with the brick until she
lost consciousness. Then not wanting her to
suffer any pain, he got the coal shovel and
pounded her scull; then to be sure she was
dead, he slashed her throat several times with
sharp case knife.
His mother-in-law was constant annoy
auce in his family affairs and her offensive
treatment of him, it is alleged, reduced him
to a state of melancholia and about week
ago his wife had arrangements made for his
consignment to an asylum, but the evidence OF
insanity was considered insufficient by the
physicians and the papers were not signed.
Mrs Russell was possessed OF large estate
of which her daughter is the sole heir. IS -.
Prescott, while telling his story, showed no
signs of insanity, and but little more excite
ment than natural to person OF his age and
physical weakness.

NoRTHFIELD.

NoRTHFIELD, April ia most dastardly
attempt was made at z o'clock this morning
to blow up Carleton college. A large machine
was deposited in one of the windows in Willis
hall, in the second story, loaded with fire
crackers and various other explosives, ar
ranged in that manner, SO that when it ex-
ploded it would play havoc, cutting its way
through the audience, which meets for early
morning services; but fortunately, it exploded
too soon. A small thread was attached to it,
which led to basin of water, or that which
resembled water, some feet from the building,
and it touched off by some chemical process,
as it was utterly impossible to get powder in
to fuse the size of this thread. Slight in
juries were inflicted on the building, some of
the windows being broken, the plasterilg in
places knocked off, but no one hurt. sz=eems
almost miraculous that such louG explosion
as this was could take place and 10 no more
damage. The guilty one is thought to be
near home, and sharp lookout should be
kept to catch the scoundrel.

GRAND FORKS, D. T., April 15.-If nine
days without mail wont make one &C.
customed to read the DAILY GLOBE and
Sundays edition, swear, then he must
have lived in Minneapolis mud, under the
shadow of the Pious Gilfillan's u. B. J
wings, and draw his pay-But, seri-
ously, can you tell us where the mail for
this part of the world has gone to. Jo-
cosely, it passed through that aforesaid
city, but the gentleman named don't
handle the mails, or he might stop them
with long speech.
Grand Forks is having boom of a
land mot water, for we are high and dry
nature that to an eastern man is truly as
tonishing. Not fictitious, not craze,
but solid and lasting. Business of every
nature is in the most fourlshing cOndi-
ton, and strange to say and / attest it as
a fact, not in any department, unless the
legal is overdone in The least. 1t is true
that every available building is occupied,
hotels crowded, the land Office
worked until IL OF IL O'Clock
at night. Yetprices are not exhorbitant.
Hotel fare good, very good, at 81 per day,
meals fifty cents. The trouble is the fur
nishing rooms for guests. Land is nigh.
For instance, an Old-time friend, Hon.
Geo. H. Walsh. who owns a section of
land three miles from town, with SO, 900
improvements, has cash offer of $780,
600, which he refuses. Why? He can
raise clear, off Of it, from SO 900 to $40, 900
in hard wheat yearly. What business in
st. Paul or Minneapolis pays such an
enormous interest-30 per cent?
Grand Forks as a city must naturally
respond to such a condition of value OF
country property, and is the grand CEN
ter of country finer than which
the sun never rose upon. Situated at the
confluence of tina Rice Lake and Red Riv-
er, it has the advantages of prairie and
timber town both. Wood for fuel is OBJ
tanned for $3.50 and $3.50 per cord, an
advantage to be appreciated by even the
denizens of the great cities. Town prop
erty, business lots 50x150 from $4,000
to $4,000, and residence lots
5000 to $500 according to locality,
cannot be said to be exhorbitant or even
speculative. The town has q splendid
school edifice and very creditable court
house. Five churches, affording ample
scope for religious diversion. Of course,
the Catholics have congregation, in
care of the Rev. Father LIE Hiver, most
estimable and worthy gentleman, and
beloved from end to end of the territory,
He builds, from the little, modest church
a splendid $4,000 edifice this
season. What strikes one as
singular that with the members
of transient persons at least thousand
a day, and twenty saloons, there is no
rowdyism; quarrelling or fighting. Not
an arrest from such cause in two weeks.
How does it compare with the towns of
Minnesota of equal size! There is daily
