New Jersey vs.. Delaware.

The trial of the boundary suit between
New Jersey and Delaware in'the United
States Supreme Court is now fairly un-
der way. The case has not reached, no
even is it nearly approaching, the stage
of argument, as might be inferred from
the reports in daily newspapers last week.
As stated in last weeks RECORD, the
opening meeting before the commission
er, Francis RawIe, ESQ.,, of Philadelphia,
was held at his Office on Saturday, the
9TH inst. At that meeting nothing was
done except the making of an opening
statement of compliments case by At
torney-General McCarter, of New Jersey.
On Wednesday and Thursday of last
week the commissioner sat in Trenton
and the taking of evidence for the COM
plainant was begun. The attorneys
general of both states were present, as
also was MI. Bates, special consul for
Delaware, but Judge Hayes, who is as
sociated with the encouragement Of
New Jersey was absent by reason of ILL
nees.
The evidence taken wa entirely docu-
mentary, consisting of charters, grants,
deeds and other papers on which the
state claims title and jurisdiction to and
over the land composing what was form
erly the province OF West Jersey. No
witnesses were examined orally except
persons from whose custody the various
papers were produced.
Where objections were made by coun-
sci for Delaware the commissioner us
uaaly reserved his decision, in some cases
arranping for future argument. The gen.
eral course Of proceedings before q mas.
ter Tor, Al he is termed in this case, a
commissioner with the powers OF a mas
teri is that where evidence is held by
him to be inadmissible it is nevertheless
inserted in the record with the objection
and ruling 90 that the latter may be sub
ject to review by the court.
Under the order OF the court made on
June 1 last the complainant mas until
February l next to put in its case in
chief; then the defendant has four
months for ite case; then two months to
the complainant for rebuttal and one
month to defendant for its evidence in
reply, will bring the close of testimony
to September l, 1904. After that Eve
months are allowed for the argument be-
fore the commissioner and his decision,
as he must make his report to the Su-
preme Court on February l, 1905. If, as
Is probable in any case, exceptions are
taken to the indings and decision of the
commissioner either upon q question of
law or of fact, the whole case will stand
for argument before the Supreme Court
at Washington during the spring Of 1905,
and, barring accident, a final disposition
of this long standing controversy should
be reached during that year.

tOrical and legal, involved in this caa6c

to resume his speech the president sus-
pended the sitting. The deputy con-
tinued his defiant speech after the ses-
sion was resumed, but he was finally
silenced by the presidents threat to
cause his removal from the chamber.
