Speaking of this, Mr. Justice Story,- who delivered the opinion of the court, said: ‘The grants were made for the foundation & a federal city, and the public faith was neces sarily pledged when the grants we! accepted to found such city. * * * It was not a mere gratuitous donation from motives of generosity or public spirit; but _in consideration of the great benefits they expected to de- rive from having the federal city lak off upon their lands.” “But what benefit would the orig- inal proprietors have derived from the mere designation upon a map of certain areas as streets?

NEW YORK, September 16.—The British cruiser Dauntless, bringing home the bodies of the sixteen officers and men of the American Navy who lost their lives in the ZR-2 disaster, arrived off Sandy Hook today escort- by American war craft. She was expected to wait outside the harbor antil afternoon and then at high tide to come to the navy yard. The Dauntless ‘was met far at sea early this morning by the American flotilla which put out from the sum- mer naval base at Newport, R, I. With an Ameriean destroyer marking the way, the Dauntless, followed by the other American vessels, and with the seaplanes flying overhead, will pass up Ambrose channel to the New York navy yard, past forts which will thunder a salute. Right of Way Up Harbor. A clear right of way will be given the funeral ship by all passing ves- sels. Ships at anchor, ferry boats and other harbor craft will dip their col- ors, while their crews man the decks at attention. The usual stop at quarantne will be dispensed with and police patrol boats and coast guard cutters have been ordered to clear the passage up past Governors Island, around Battery Point and into East river to the entrance to the yard. In the yard. the cruiser will find awaiting it a special guard of honor made up of marines and bluejackets— recruited mainly from the new dread- naught Maryland, sent here for the memorial services of the Navy's dead. Officers from the French light cruiser Ville de 'Ys, and the Brazilian battle- ship Minas Geraes, now in port, will be present. As s00n as the Dauntless makes fast, the bodies will be removed to a tei porary chapel, where they will rest un- til tomorrow, when full honors will be given the dead airmen. A memorial service, in which high officlals of the federal, state 'and maunicipal governments will have a lllarl. has been arranged, the services to be shared by as many citizens as can be accommodated in the yard’s inclosure. At a near date, one of the bodies, that of Lieut. Commander Emory W. Coll, will again be taken to sea, this time on an American warship, and somewhere off the coast will be con- signed to the deep, in accordance with his wishes. The bodies brought home today in- clude all but one of the Americans who were on the ill-fated dirigible when she was destroyed. The excep- tion is Rigger N. O.

DUBLL September 16.—Although the popular newspapers today de-| scribe the letter of Premier Lloyd George canceling arrangements for the Inverness conference as a bomb- shell which spread consternation, there seems no disposition on the part of the public in general to consider the Irish peace negotiations at an end, the prime minister’s reference to “inevitable delay” giving to hope. The prevailing indications here are that the desire is to avold a breacl that a_diligent search is in progre: for a formula which will enable the proposed conference to be held with- out the sacrifice of principles on the part of either side, and that it is pos- sible to phrase such a statement of principles in a way to avoid a breach. The next move, it is claimed here, is with Mr. Lloyd George and further communication with him after the British cabinet meeting is swaited. Not Comcerned Over Election. Leaders of the dail eireann ex- pressed no concern over the prospect of a general election, taking thé view that there was no probability of any party attempting to fight the Sinn Fein on compromise lines, and that if one did so the Sinn Fein would score another triumph, the result being that ln renewal of the Sinn Fein republican mandate would be registered by the Ireturns. As to the truc to be no immedi rupture. Premier Lloyd George is blamed by the Freeman's Journal for the can- cellation of the proposed Inverness conference. Lleyd George Seered. «Mr. Lloyd George,” the newspaper declares, “made an extravagant mis- { construction in canceling the confer- ence on the ground that to confer on ithe terms of Mr. De Valera's note {would be to recognize Ireland as an independent republic,. free to disso- ciate herself from the empire. It should be remembered that Ireland, many years ago, was a sovereign state within the empire, and reclaim- ing that sovereignty does not neces- sarily imply dissociation and sever- i rise there is considered e probability of its i | he British and Irish peoples will refuse to accept this as the end of | efforts toward peace. Letter writing has continued too long. The negoti- ators long ago. should have met at the confereace table and got busy framing the peace terms, instead of discussing theoretical objections to such a meeting.” It is not yet too late for the adoption of such a course.” SIR JAMES CRAIG'S VIEWS Ulster Not Involved in Halting of Negotiations, He Declares.
