OVER THE COMMITTEE REPORT
FAILURE OF BATTLE TO UP
HOLD COURT OF CESSATION.
Premier Dupuy Declares the Govern
ment Is Prepared to Take the
Whole Responsibility for
the Bill.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PARIS, Feb 10.-There was much ex-
element in the Chamber Of Deputies
to-day, in anticipation of the consider
alton of the Governments revision bill
for which the Premier, NJ. Dupuy, had
asked urgency.
Immediately after the opening Of the
session NJ. Renaud- -Morliere, the re-
porter of the committee having the re-
vision bill in charge, said the committee
had rejected the measure, because
when one arrived at the creation Of
courts Of expediency there was no
further security for any one" Such
proposals, the reporter added, always
aroused Indignation, and he asked what
could be the motive Of the bill, since
the accusations brought by M. Quesnay
de Beaurepaire, former president of the
civil section of the Court of Cessation,
against the criminal section of that
body had been acknowledged to be er-
roneous.
M. Renaud- -Morliere concluded by as
serting that the adoption of the bill
would be a useless one and dangerous
sign of weakness, also remarking that
Ito honor the army it is not necessary
to dishonor the magistrature."
NJ. Millerand, Radical Socialist, made
a lively speech, opposing the measure
on the grounds set forth in the open
letter to the Government, signed by
score of Deputies and a number of for
mer Cabinet Ministers, who declared
their intention to uphold the supreme
principles of justice as above all at
tack.
NJ. Millerand aroused an immense up
roar by saying that the Republicans
only had TO note who were backing the
bill and the present agitation to know
where their duty lay.
The Premier said that the Govern
ment was prepared to take the whole
responsibility for the measure. The
Republicans, the Prime Minister added,
could, therefore, vote for the measure
with perfect security. The Government,
he pointed out was neither the accom-
plice nor the dupe of the adversaries of
revision of the Dreyfus trial, but
doubts had arisen, causing fears as to
whether the sentence of a section of
Court of Cessation was authoritative
enough to satisfy and calm the nation.
The bill, he insisted was neither an
emergency measure, revolutionary nor
dictatorial. 1t was an affair which was
provoking throughout the world pole
mics which were lacerating French
hearts.
The trial revision bill was then
adopted by a vote Of 332 to 232.

DIR. FARRELL is HERE.
Brings Good News From the Cali

DR.. P. J. II. Farrell, captain and assist
ant surgeon in the First California Volun-
teers, arrived in this city yesterday on
the America Maru from Manila, and i'm
mediately went to the Palace.
DIR. Farrell has been invalided and is
on a thirty days leave of absence, with
permission to visit the United States.
The doctors leave is caused by the return
of his old trouble, a wound in the left
arm which he received during the Soudan
war. Notwithstanding his affiiction, he
looks remarkably well and was glad to
get home.

COLD WEATHER DOES
DAMAGE IN MINES
Pipes Burst and the Water in bitches
and Small Creeks Frozen
Solid

REDDING, Feb 10.-Unusually cold
weather prevailing in Trinity County has
resulted in the general suspension of
hydraulic and placer mining, besides the
infliction of damage that will require
months to repair. A hard freeze came OH
shortly after the heavy fall of snow,
bursting hydraulic mining pipes in all di-
rections and solidifying the water bitches
and small creeks. La Grange Company
was forced to suspend operations, sus-
tanning damage to it's extensive pipe lines,
that will delay resumption of work until
late in the spring. Any attempt to repair
the burst pipes would be futile until
warmer weather sets in. The Brown Bear
mine at Deadwood also suspended opera
tions in portions of the mine on account
of burst pipes. On Stuarts Fork and in
fact, all over the county where gravel
mining Is carried on, the freeze has shut
down properties that were in full opera
ton.
In Shasta County no damage to pine
lines is reported, though the scanty water
supply has been entirely cut off and
placer mining is suspended. The cold
weather, however, has proved a boon. to
the fruit growers, as almond and other
trees are about ready to blossom Had
the cold weather held off a week or SO
longer much fruit would have blossomed
out prematurely and been destroyed
