A Picturesque Group of veterans-Brav-
ing Bad Weather.
Just beyonl Woodstock a picturesque
group of old veterans stood at road
crossing with barred heads, bowed as the
train swept on. At the side of the road a
line of country wagons and buggies was
drawn up There was a very large crowd
awaiting the coming of the train at Ur-
bana. A line of veterans was drawn up
along the platform, and behind them was
q miscellaneous crowd of several thou
sand people. A stop or few minutes was
made at Urbana.
Rain Failing in Sheets.
AS the train left Urbana the storm
began to increase in force, and by the
time Brush Lake, water station, was
reached the wind was blowing gale and
the rain was falling in sheets. The storm
confined to increase in force, but in spite
of the heavy rain, at every station there
were crowds lined along the platforms TO
salute the honored dead, AT ST. Paris
there was a long line of veterans at the
station and quite large crowd, and the
bells of the city were tolled during the
passage of the train.

T9E NEV FEDERAL COURT

The Federal statute which went into prac-
teal effect when the Circuit Courts OF Appear
were opened on Tuesday is the more Important
because the Federal judicial system has been
remarkably free from legislative changes. Inc
first action taken under the provision OF the
Constitution authorizing Congress to establish
courts inferior to the Supreme Court was one
massage of the Act of September "a, 1893
This law remained the basis Of the court sys-
tenn of the United States until the passage OF
the Evaits Act Changes have been made IN
the outlines Of the districts and CIRCUITS Clrcuo
.Jndees were appointed In 1901, legisated OUT
of office in 1902 and again provided for under
q law passed over twenty years ago, ana Une
Jurisdiction of the courts has been changed IN
coma particulars; but the main principles reg
Mating the iudicial power remained unaltered.
u IL q nroof Of the care with which Congress in
the first DAYS of its first session undertook the
formation of judicial system that the orslnai
act provided means which, until twenty or
twenty-five years ago. proved adequate for dis
posing of litigation with reasonable promptiless'
Later Congresses naturally felt dislnclined TO
interfere with the system, and it continued I'M
changed until the business OF the courts IN
creased to such an extent that suit could not
usually reach final decision in the United states
courts until five years after it was begun. Inc
Supreme Court, in spite of great industry, mas
now enough cases on its calendar to occupy its
time for two years, even if no new cases were
brought before it.
The new law makes an important change In
the character of the highest Federal tribunal.
If practically takes away from the supreme
Court the consideration except in certain specl-
fed cases. of questions which ordinarily arise
in litigation The new appellate court will give
\ final decision in the great majority OF cases.
and the Supreme Court after disposing OF the
nresent large calendar will have to consider
chiefly questions of constitutional construction
The court will therefore stand separate and DIS
tinct from other judicial tribunals, and the JUS
tees will retain their experience in the solving
of ordinary legal problems only by their con-
nection with the Circuit Courts of Appeal. Law
vers and litigants alike hope that the Supreme
Court Justices will frequently exercise their
right of presiding over the new tribunals. They
will thus give additional weight to the decisions
rendered, and will themselves retain the breadth
of view which is sometimes lost in the exclusive
consideration Of abstract questions.
Senator Evarts, to whom the public owes
many debts, performed notable service when
he succeeded in inducing the National LegiS-
lature to adopt this needed measure for hasten
ing the final decision of causes tried in the
United States courts.

THE PANAMA CANAL PROSECUTION.

The talk about prosecuting Count Ferdinand
de Lesseps has caused decided stir I'm Pars.
Il is perfectly natural though an entirely I'M
looked for result of the peculiar methods en-
ployed to bolster up what for years has been
known as a doomed enterprise. The Panama
Canal was begun in 1880. The nature of its in
spiration was omin0usly typihed in the opening
ceremonies. when, the vessel bearing the oiicia!
party being unable through low water to reach
the shore. the first spadeful of earth was turned
with mock solemnities on the quarter deck, far
ont in the bay The subsequent operations
were conducted in close accordance with THIS
initial mimicry. Instead Of settling down to the
hard work of diverting rivers and moving noun
tains, the managers wasted time and money IN
building costly residences for languid chiefs and
deputies, and hospitals for invalids whose health
no proper measures had been taken to preserve
Contracts with irresponsible bidders were closed
ON ruinous terms. The company exchanged
gold at premium of 10 per cent when the cur
rent rate was 40. Locomotives were brought
from Europe and abandoned because Of a mis-
take in the gauge. Enormous demurrage was
paid TO the dredgers and no effort made to
restrict it, Harpies of all kinds made the most
Of their opportunities. and grew rich through
collision with the company's servants.
Not even the wholesale perjures of subsi-
died press could avert the natural consequence
of these proceedings. The original subscription
vanished before the surface of the lSthmus had
been more than scratched. With the prestige
of his achievement at Suez to support him. NJ.
dc Lesseps, however, found ready credence for
his rosy assurances. The 'woollen stockings"
that had opened so.generously opened again
when it was proclaimed with authority that
ships would pass from Atlantic to Pacific by
way of the canal in 1889. The chiefs at Pana-
ma continued drawing up long payros and
shoveing out napOleons over their counters
Dredges were kept idle at cost of SIS minute
and surveyors earned their salary pulling over
the formidable problems the progress of the
work developed, while the acting manager wore
out stylographic pens signing tickets of adj
mission to the shower-baths. 1t became evident
that NJ. de Leseps was not an engineer, that bis
force was hopelessly demoralized, that the en-
terprise had been undertaken in utter ignorance

RIGHTS OF PLEASURE CRAFT.

Judicious comments on the sinking of the
Yacht Amelia by the steam-tug Devoe are made
by our neighbor "The SUM-" 1t cites this
casualty as an illustration Of the wanton disre-
gard of human life displayed by pilots and
captains of business boats in their dealings with
pleasure craft. 1t charges them with crowding
yachts out of their rights, with bullying them
into yielding to the arbitrary requirements OF
vessels Of greater tonnage, and with insisting
upon making way for themselves, even if it
points head on against the rule rof the road"
Before the law,n it adds, the dudish racer
is the peer Of the coalbarge, and on no other
understanding can the peace be kept on the
water with any satisfactory certainty"
This criticism Of the motives influencing
p;lots and officers Of mercantile craft is we'll
founded. There are many men employed in
New-York waters who seem to consider yacht
an intruder poachng upon their preserves. Be-
cause they earn their wages day by day on the
water and are weary of the drudgery of their
lot. they regard it as an intolerabe abuse that
other men more fortunate than themselves are
able to find pleasure in yachting. Whenever
they encounter craft of this class they disclose
their dislike and envy by making it incon-
venient and dangerous for the Luxurious
idlers" to pass them. Yachting and boating
near New-York are often rendered exceedingly
perilous by the caprices and perverse obstinacy
Of ugly pilots and malicious captains. The
number of boating casualties and mishaps to
pleasure craft between the Battery and Sandy
Hook and on the North and East rivers during
the summer season is large. The dead tell no
tales and pilots and shipmasters are not likely
to convict themselves of wantOnly sacrificing
human life. 1t is always easy to report to the
police that the pleasure seekers violated " the
rules of the roadn and were responsible for
their untimely fate. Not infrequently, we are
confident. these mshaps are directly attrib-
utable either to unwilingness on the part of
pilots and masters to "slow down." or to a
fatal propensity for playing practical jokes upon
those "who have no business to be interfering
with business in crowded waters"
The yacht Amelia was nearly becalmed when
the collision occurred off Northumberland
tenth-st. Ii was a clear night, and her lights
were conspicuously displayed. The tug sud
denly appeared in midstream under full steam
and crashed into her. sinking her instantly
