JONES ESCAPES.
Taken From BridgetOn Jail and
Gets Away.

Daniel Jones, recently jailed here
for disorderly, conduct and wanted
all over for burglary, is again at lib
erty. He was released from the
Bridgeton Jail Saturday so that the
authorities of Atlantic county might
take him. He is at liberty according
to the following dispatch dated at
Hammonton, June 9th;
"Daniel Jones, colored, arrested for
burgalry, made a bold and successful
escape from Constable George Berns-
house while being conveyed to Mays
Landing jail this morning. AS they
were driving through the swamp be-
tween this city and Weymouth, Jones,
though handcuffed, leaped from the
wagon. He landed in the brush. and
before the Constable could stop his
horse or draw his revolver Jones had
disappeared in the swamp.
Constable Bernshouse and posse
OF deputies have been securing the
woods and swamps to-day for the
fugitive. An amusing feature of the
episode was the fact that Jones took
the constable's lap robe with him, it
having become entangled with the
handouts. y

Made by Rev. S. W. Beach,

successful of all the Ivy Hall COM
mencements was that Thursday night,
when the class of 1900 stepped from

studies finished, but at the COM
mencement of real life. The chapel
of the First Presbyterian Church was
the place of graduation exercises, and
the scene presented was beautiful
one. There were floral decorations,
together with palms and flowers, but
the brightest touch in the picture
were the graduates, as they appeared
in their pure white gowns, with only
dash of color in the flowers they
carried. The large chapel was filled
with friends of the school and gradu-
ates, and the interesting exercises
were very pleasing to everybody.

gales Song" and "Sweet Soul of
Song, Good Night" which preceded

excellent advice eloQuently expressed
in every word. and the full force of
the thought seemed to impress deeply
the fair young ladies to whom it was

very interesting part of the program,
and the closing chorus was "Nun

followed by a brilliant reception at
the Hall and the school was picture
of pleasurable gayety until nearly
midnight.
Mrs. Maxwell, director of the school

AN IMPORTANT DECISION
Judge Thomas on Excessive
Land Holdings.

Judge John r. Thomas handed
down an important decision or
Tuesday of this week in the United
States court at Wagner, in the
case Of John McGrath against Lem
Aldridge, ct al. The suit involved
possession Of Cherokee lands, the
defendant having taken possession
Of part Of plaintiffs land, alIeg.
ing, in justification thereof, that
the latter was in possession OF
more land than he was allowed
under the Curtis law.
THE DECISION.
This agreed statement of facts
presents the question Of the right
OF a citizen not in possession OF
land in the Cherokee nation to
take possession of lands of the
Cherokee nation without reference
to the facl that another party al
ready has it in bis possession, for
the purpose of making home
stead.
This land Of the Cherokee na-
tion was patented to them by the
government Of the United States.
and by virtue OF the several trea-
ties entered into between the gov
eminent Of the United States and
the Cherokee nation it was pro-
vided that the Cherokee nation
should have the right Of govern
ment in all domestic affairs. 1t
is pro sided by the first treaty en-
tered intobetween the government
OF the United States and the
Cherokee ration, and the same
provision has been ratified in each
succeeding treaty, that no Law
passed by the Cherokee nation
should be in violation Of The con-
slilulion OF the United States. II

\ then the question ut issoe be de-
termined judicially by the court,
That has been decided to be due
process of law The congress Of
the United States has endeavored
in the 17tn and 18th sections Of the
Curtis act to say that citizens sub
iect TO the constitution, its amen
ities and protection, may be de-
puived Of property which the law
Of the Cherokee nation and the
constitution Of the United States
authorizes them TO hold and enjoy,
without due process Of law. This
court decides that that cannot be
legally done.
The court further decides that
lone citizen cannot take it upon
fhimself TO determine that another
man has in his possession more
than has proporlionate share OF
the public domain Of the Cherokee
na.ion. There is not man alive
today who can say what the pro-
porlionste share of a citizen OF the
Cherokee nation is. That is a
matter that can only be determ-
ined when allotment is made, OF
when the public domain has been
measured; when it is known ex-
aclly how much there is Of it, and
when a census has been made and
it is known to single individual
the number OF CheroKee citizens.
Then and not until then would it
be possible TO determine what the
proportiona.e share Of each Chero-
kee citizen is.
The court will not say that the
Cherokee. nation, by proper pro-
cess. might not proceed to con-
demn-ifi il were discovered after
allotment that a man had in his
possession more than his proper
tionate share; that the Cherokee
nation as a government and as
the representative Of this common

the constitution of the United
States, of its own force. does not
become operative over all posses
sions of the United States, that
matter has been disposed Of by
agreement; andAi it does not come
within the same rule which is
claimed TO govern the island OF
Porto Rica on the one hand or the
Philippine islands on the other.
This is a government of the peo-
pie, by the people and for the peo-
Pile, and the fundamental law gov
erning a people governs every
inch Of their possessions.
The constitution of the United
States is put in iorce here. The
Cherokee law provides, among
other things, that citizens of the
Cherokee nation may go upon the
public domain and make improve
ments, and that these improve
ments become an inheritable es-
tate. 1t is provided by the con-
slitution OF the Cherokee nation,
and this is not in conflict with the
constitution of'the United States,
that the improvements made by a
citizen Of the Cherokee nation are
not subject to attachment or sale
under execution. 1t is a vested
property right. By a provision
of the fifth article Of the amend
ments to the constitution of the
United States II is provided that
a person shall not be deprived of
life, liberty or property without
due process Of law. The supreme
court Of the United States and
other courts Of last resort have de-
eided that an act of congress is
not "due process Of law" In or
der TO be due process Of law there
must be an. action brought in a
court Of competent jurisdiction.

rs AN ACT OF WAR.

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-Ameri-
can troops have been ordered. from the
Philippines to China. Whether the
men will be landed or not will depend
upon the situation when they arrive.
The administration has decided that
to insure protection OF American life
and property throughout China orGer
must be re-established in Pekin, and
the Empress Dowager and the Tsung-
Li-Yamen impressed with the neces-
sity of acting as the powers wish in
the matter of guarding foreigners and
their interests.
If the foreign legations in Pekin
have been burned, as reported, it was
probably at fearful cost. On June /
there were in Pekin 400 sailors. In
diplomatic circles it is said that if the
murder of Germany's official represen-
tative has been permitted, practically
as the result of a movement approved
by the government. China has COM
mitted an act of war against Germany.
This is also true of the Japanese gov
eminent, a member of whose official
staff in Pekin was killed.

WAR DECLARED BY CHINA.

LONDON, Junes 1880 a. NJ
China declared war aginst the world
when the Taku forts opened fire upon
the international feet. The accounts
of what took place are still unsatis-
factory.
The unofficial narratives coming by
way of Shanghai, vary widely and
better international evidence of supple
menting the main facts with guess
work. One dispatch says that the
Yorktown participated in the bonn
bardment. Another asserts that Amer
lean marines formed part of the storm

ciated Press dispatch from Che Foo
dated yesterday afternoon says:
THE forts on both sides of the
Taku are now occupied. The Chinese
opened fire Unexpectedly. The casual
les to the mixed forces were as fol-
ows:
"Killed-British, one; German,
three; Russian, sixteen, and French,
one.
Observation-Disclosures four; German,
seven; Russian, forty-ive; French,

The Shanghai correspondent of the
Daily Mail telegraphing yesterday,
says:
