GETTING FACTS FROM BRAZIL.
The President Seeking Information
About the Trouble There.

President Cleveland is displaying unusual
interest in the Brazilian situation, and be-
sides obtaining all the data of an official
character from the State and Navy Depart
ments on the subject, has sought Informal
ton through other channels The incidents
leading up to the recall of Rear Admiral
Stanton have been particularly inquired into
by the President. OF course the official in
structions given to Admiral Stanton are on
file at the Navy Department but it is under
stood that, in addition to these official in
structions, verbal orders of a general char
acter were also given him. His return to
this country is awaited with great interest
and no further action will be taken in the
meantime. 1t is said that Admiral Stanton's
personal explanations may put his conduct
in a different light from that which led to
his recall.
Meanwhile some naval officers of standing
and experience in South American matters
express opinions that commercial interests
are quite as potent as political considera-
tons in fomenting and keeping alive these
Brazilian troubles.

r G n 7 OF APPEAL
From the Police Court to the Higher
Courts
The Attorney for the District Finds
Proposes a Substitute.

House bill 1923, having for its object the
right of appeal from the findings of the
Police Court, has been reported upon by the
attorney for the District While he is of
the opinion that there should be a right of
appeal from the Police Court to the Court
of Appeals, he thinks that the right should
be more limited than is provided in the bin.
The bill is retroactive, and applies to cases
tried in the Police Court since April 3. 1872
Continuing, he says: THE notion of an an
peal is natural one, yet do not think the
ends of justice demand an appeal in every
case, irrespective of the amount of the
fine of, say, $50 or upward, or imprison-
peal from the Police Court should there
fore be limited to such cases as involve a
fine of, say. $50 or upwards or imprison-
ment in the District jail or work house for
a period of thirty days or more, and then
only on special allowance by a justice of
the Court OF Appeals after examination of
a bill of exceptions. certified by the Judge of
the Police Court who tried the case.
With Proper Limitations.
by such a Limitation of the right of ap-
peal enough cases would be reviewed by the
Court of Appeals to preserve the rights of
individuals and at the same time to estab-
lish just and correct principles FOR the
guidance of the judges of the Police Court
in deciding the recurring new questions cf
law arising In the administration of Justice
in that tribunal. An appeal from the Police
Court should not be allowed to suspend SEN
tence unless the appellant give bond. with
sureties to be approved by a judge of the
Police Court conditioned for his or her ap-
pearance in the Police Court for sentence in
case the judgment is affirmed on appeal
Without such a provision as this the right
of appeal would be abused. This was a con-
dition when an appeal from the Police Court
was allowed in all cases to the Criminal
Court of this District. Without such a pro-
vision, any defendant, after conviction n ay
note an appeal and leave the District En-
tertaining these views Mr.. Thomas does not
recommend the bill, but submits a suosti-
tute embracing his notions of what the law
should be on the subject Any other method
of appeal from the Police Court, he says,
would be liable to abuse and would result
in not only overcrowding the docket of the
Court of Appeals with petty cases, to the
detriment of more important business, but
would delay and, indeed. practically defeat
the Commissioners in the enforcement of
the laws. ordinances and police regulations
of the District"
Nr. Thomas Substitute.
The substitute bill submitted by Mr.
taken in all cases where the fine is $50 or
upward. punishment in the Jail or work
house for thirty days or more. 1t is also
provided that no appeal shall be allowed
unless a bill of exceptions shall be prepared
and submitted TO the trial judge for his
signature within five days after the trial

TEARING THROUGH IRON.
Army OAicers VIeased with n New
IrOiectiIe.

Ordnance officers of the army are very
much encouraged at the recent test of an
American projectile at the Sandy Hook
proving ground. and will order a number of
them for use in the army. 1t was demon
strated that this projectile will pierce the
deck of an ironclad when thrown from a
modern high power mortar. Two projectiles
made by the Sterling Steel Company Of
Pittsburg were fired from 4 Pinch mortar
at a plate four and one-half inches thick,
set at an angle of 60 degrees to the horizon.
The plate represented the deck of a ship
at the angle at which it would receive the
proiectile from a mortar when thrown in TO
the air. In both cases the projectiles pene-
trated the plate without breaking 1t up.
and with a slight upset that did not SER
iously impair the projectiles.
