NEW JERSEY VS.. DELAWARE.

Answer of Attorney General Ward in the
Boundary Dispute Sent to Washington.
Attorney General Herbert Ii. Ward
sent to Washington Saturday, to be filed
in the Office of the Supreme Court of
the United States, the answer of the
defendant in the equity case of the
State of New Jersey VS.. the State of
Delaware. This case involves the
jurisdiction of Delaware over the Della
ware River lying within the compass of
the TwelVe-mile Circle, drawn from
New Castle as a centre, and has been
in the Supreme Court about 81 years.
With Mr.. Ward in the case for Della
ware is George II. sBates. Their answer
is printed in n pamphlet of nearly 10
pages and goes fully into the history of
Inc grants of land which apply par
ticularly to the matter in question.
The answer AYERS that the State of
Delaware sis the owner in Eeveralty
and in fee simple of the whole bed of
the Delaware River lying within the
compass of or circle of twelve miles
about the town of New Castle One
of the foundations of the claim of juris-
diction by Delaware is in this section !:
'.By a deed sealed and delivered IN
the presence of witnesses, bearing date
the 24Gh DAY OF August, 1902, the salu
James, Duke of York, demised, granted,
bargained and sold unto William Penn,
upon due consideration, all that town
of New Castle and all that tract of land
lying within the compass or CIRCLE of II
miles about the same, situate, lying and
being upon the River Delaware, and
all islands in the same river, and the
said river and soil thereof lying north
of the southern most Fart of the said
circle of II miles about the said town,
to have and to hola to the said William
Penn, his executors and administrators
and assigns, for 10000 years, at the
early rent of five shillings.
The defendant further claims that
the courts and authorities of the State
have always asserted aud continue to
assert and MAINTAIN an exclusive iuris-
diotion over the whole Of the river
within the Twelve Mile Circle to low
water mark on the New Jersey shore.
The next step will be the filing Of a
replication by the complainant. 1t may
be year or two before argument is
reached

London, Eng, Dot. l2. Cecil Rhodes,
whose part in politics and empire max
ing is vividly recalled by the Schnad-
horst letturs, is living almost absolutely
alone at a quiet hotel, on diet and
with the attentions of a man who is
seriously i'll.
!. There is no doubt that he is suffering
from heart disease and is no longer the
robust man of former times; yet he
never missed day this week at the
office OF the British Chartered South
African Co., burying himself in details
and conducting long, tedious meetings
without complaint or mention of his i'll
health. After these duties, however, in
the quiet of his hote, he seems tn
hecome almost wreck, "like a man
liable to go off at any moment" as one
of his few visitors said on coming out
from his room.
Usually MIR. Rhodes is supremely in.
differ emit to public sentiment. preferring
rather to ride roughshod over criticism,

sire to head off adverse comment His
