N APPEAL TO THE DEPUTIES
A PALPABLE BID FOR PUBLIC FAVOR
His Meteoric Movements Are Regarded With Suspicion Found the Bench Too Prosaic A Boomerang to
 Anti-Dreyius Movement.

Paris, January 11.-M. Quesnay de Beaure- palre, whose resignation from the presi dency of the civil section of the court of cessation is regarded by impartial obseIvers as the most dangerous development of the Dreyfus affair, this afternoon furnished to the Newspapers the most inhammatory pronouncement he has yet made. It is in the nature of a proclamation and is en-~ titled "An Appeal to the Deputies,' whom he calls upon venemenuy to remove the Dreyfus case from the hands of the crim- ina. Chamber of the court. The proclama- ton concludes as follows:
 "Order a real and solemn inquiry which shall penetrate into the viseera of this tortuous examination. If there are guilty mem in the bosom of the criminal chamber authorize the executive power to remove them, so that our magistracy may retain it's ancient prestige.
 Remove the case from the criminal chamber tomorrow. Order an immediate judicial inquiry. You can assuredly take other measures as you have to accept ad- vice from no one and your decisions will be welcomed with the confidence due those who safeguard the French cause.
 A Aself-Constituted Hero
 q hope to play the modest role of those sentries who in olden time slgnalled from the battements of the approach of the enemy and who, after sounding the alarm, left 1t to the chiefs of the city to arm themselves in behalf of the eommonweal. Roly Father, forgive the abruptness of my appeal. It is due to the emotion wmcn agitates~ne If you do not cut the gordian knot Ut once tremble for my country.
 "MSN grief is great to see the magistracy to which I have so long belonged com promised, but I console myself with tho thought that 1t will emerge purified from the crisis. My grief is great at seeing five or six magistrates so forgetful of our tra- ditioiis as to declare themselves the ad- Versaries of the army. Of course the Dreyfusites maintain that they are not at tacking the army while they attack it's chiefs These mad men think when they tell the soldiers today that their chiefs are unworthy to command them that the spirit of discipline and confidence which consti- tutes the greatest source of military strength is not being undermined.
 You will reply that what they call the enemy is the sword of France-the poor officers whose uniform is the garb of sacri- flee who work devotedly for the loftiest aim which exists, preparing to die, who tomorrow if the cannon roar will shed their blood for those who slander. I sa- lute them with admiration.
 'I say to the soldiers that the national army is worthy of respect from the high est 10 the lowest rank, and if I have been able to aid in averaging the insult to which it has been subjected I shall not regret having paid so dearly for my independence.
 Deputies, listen to the voice of a good citizen
 (Signed)
 M QUESNAY DE BEAUREPAIRE."
 impeiied by Personal Motives
 This appeal is a palpable bid for the sup port of the army. But M. De Beaurepaire, who shot up like a skyrocket as the most tremendous sensation of the whole Dreyfus controversy, now seems falling like rocket from his prominence as a leader of the anti-Dreyfusards and the possible hero of coup. The best observers of public opinion declare that the impression created by his first remark in denuncfation of the court of cessation Is succeeded by sceptic- ism regarding his motives and value of his revelations.
 Many if not most Freedmen estimate him as a politician who had found the bench too prosaic for a man long accustom- ed to the exctment of party strife and who thought he had found an opportunity to make himself the leader of a nopuIar movement. The charge he brings today against the court of cessation add nothing to yesterdays indictment, except accusa- tions that M. Loew had conferences out side the court room with Colonel Picquart's advocate and friend Maitre Le Bor.e, and that Counsellor Dumas conferred outside the court room with friends and relatives of Dreyfus.
 M. MaZeau, first president of the court expresses the opinion that it would be un- fair to the criminal chamber to withdraw the case and recommends that the criminal chamber>should act as judge of instruc- ton, drawing report upon the case to be submitted to the full tribunal over which M. Mazeau would preside. The criminal chamber is continuing the investigation. M. Palolague, witness from the foreign office, who has been several days under examination, says the judges appeared greatly excited on the day of M. de Beaurepores resignation.
