| fifteen members and their President, max
ing sixteen judges in all, would have had
exclusive jurisdiction over 1t. Should the
anti-judiclary bill, however, be passed by
the Senate, the criminal section will be
deprived OF It's exclusive jurisdiction,
and the ultimate decision In the Drey-
fus affair will be committed to the
forty-nine members OF whom the plenary
court is composed.
OF course. the high-handed act OF legis-
lative i~nterposition would not have been
~ventured upon, had not tho Dupuy Minis
try believed the anti-revlsionists to be 80
numerous in the two non-criminal sections
Of the Court of Cessation that they could
bc relied upon to reverse the judgment
favorable TO DRETFus, which tho criminal
section was expected to render.
Is there, then, any hope that justice will
be done, provided the bill passed by the
Chamber OF Deputies shall be also adopted
by the Senator We answer that there Is
none II the members Of the criminal Sec
ton, not unreasonably resenting the
stigma unjustly cast upon their repu-
tations for trustworthinesR, shall decline
to take part in my further investiga-
tion and shall emphasize their indig-
nation by resigning their seats in
the Court Of Cessation. They may be
certain, however, that none will applaud
them so loudly for such an exhibition OF
righteous wrath as will the antl-rovision-
lists. They will play. by resigning, the
game OF the enemies OF DREYFUs, and, II
their researches have convinced them that
DREYFUs is no guilty man, 1t Is their
duty to play no such game. SO long as they
retain their seats in the Court OF Cass alton
they will have great influence over their
colleagues. They will rave upon their side
the feeling Of sympathy and solidarity by
which the judiciary in any civilized coun-
try is certain to be animated when 1t
hands Of tho Legislative or executive
branch of the Government.
Twenty-Five Judges would constitute a
majority Of tho whole Court of Cessation,
provided tho seat vacated by NJ. QUEsNAY
DE B~EAUREPAIRE has been filled. Assum-
ing that the sixteen members of the crimi-
nal section are agreed as to the Judgment
that they should render in the Dreyfus
case, they only nave to win to their side
nine out Of the other thirty-three Judges
in order to give their decision the weight
attaching to that of the whole court. 1t
is not impossible that this may be the
outcome OF the disgraceful attempt to
hrowbeat and override, by an act OF the
Legislature, the Supreme Court OF Appeal
in France. That is why we think that there
is still a ray of hope for the unfortunate
DREYFUs.

The Court of Appeals.

To THE EDITOR OF The SuS-Sir: A solu-
ton OF the difficulty under which the Court Of
Appeals now labors might be had by the en-
actment Of a law amending subdivision 2
of section 19l OF the Code Of Civil Procedure.
80 as to provide that no appeal shall be taken
to the Court OF Appeals from a judgment of
af1rmance hereafter rendered when the de-
cision of the Appellate Division Of the Supreme
Court is unanimous. unless such Appellate Di-
vision shall certify that. in its opinion. e aues-
ton OF law is involved which ought to be
reviewed by the Court Of Appeals. or unless In
case Of its refusal to so certify an appeal shall
be allowed by a Judge Of the Court Of Appeals.
This is the present law in relation to actions
to recover damages for personal. injury
or damages for injuries resulting in death: or
actions to set aside a judgment, sale. transfer.
conveyance. assignment or written instrument
as in fraud of the rights Of creditors or any
ton for services including expenses Incidental
thereto or damages for breach OF any contract
thsrefor.
the enactment of such a law. as the Constitu-
ton distinctly provides that the Legislature
peals, provided the right to appeal shall not be
issdtio to q depe eIoI, upon p the amount involyed.
provision Of this kind would not work en- in
,SstiS g to li,tiigants; but would be beneficial in
s snsed II wo snd S csrfa to f te = 1itIssn itit WSn Sas mo mere
judicial determination against his contention
by six Judges lone at Trial or Special Term
and FIVE at the Appellate Division) should be
satisfied.
The. present conditions certainly impose
great hardship upon ~litigants and counsel, as
the delay in reaching a. case in. the Court OF
Appeals is so great that frequently the parties
to the suit lose all interest in the subject mat
ter and counsel are compelled to keep con-
stantly refreshing their memories Of the facts
and law applicable to the case.
AS an illustration ! mention a case where
l am counsel for the defendant respond
ent. The action was begun Sept. l. 1858. to
recover damages for injuries resulting g 10 death.
The case was tried at Circuit, June. 1894, and
resulted in judgment for the defendant. Ar APP
peal was taken to the then General Term OF the
Supreme Court. and resulted In February. 1895.
in a judgment of af1rmance. In the same
month an appeal was taken to the Court Of APP
peals. where the case has since been. and has
not yet been reached upon the calendar. There
was no unnecessary delay in any Of tho pro-
ceedings. and the facts stated are undoubtedly
a fair illustration OF the conditions existing in
other cases. and such conditions certainly JUS
tify the enactment Of the law suggested.

ade, from which oERvEBA made amsd effort
to escape, rather than during the actual en-
gagement. Doubtless the greatest disap-
pointment Of the wal was Admiral SAMP-
SONS In not being present from the begin
ming. But we have never heard OF any
errors committed by the American ship
Captains there that would nave brought
from him, II he had stayed on the spot, the
assertion of any closer personal command,
or, in other words. the setting OF any
more orders than were given by ScHLEY,
which were substantially nil The truth
is that in PHILIP of tho Texas, CLARK of
the Oregon, TAYLOR of the Indiana and
EVANS OF the Iowa, not to mention COOK OF
the flagship Brooklyn, there was a party
Of which any one was qualified to direct the
fleet, and of which every one fought his ship
as became his rank in theAmerican Navy.
II some fool friends Of Admiral SAMPSON,
Indifferent to our navy's glorious reputa-
ton for efficiency, had denounced Secretary
LONG for recommending promotion for
SCHLEY that the complete records OF the
war did not entitle him to, it would have
been less surprising than the unseemly and
unfortunate efforts of SCHLEY's friends to
discredit SAMPSON. Happily, denunciations
with this purpose nave not been heard.
Let us hope that we have heard the last
OF dispute upon this subject.

h weather demands a word for the fire
men and the policemen Of New York.
Brave and t~ireless always, these men have
undergone for us during the last few days
extraordinary requirements Of physical en-
durance, and especial tests of courage,
watchfulness and devotion to duty, from
which any but souls made OF heroic stuff
would shrink.
Cold like this both increases the number
Of conflagrations and adds tremendously to
the difficulty of extinguishing them. There
have been moro fires in the last one hun-
dred hours than ever known before on Man
haitian Island in an equal space OF time.
Yet, with the streets filed with snow
and the thermometer at or below zero;
with hydrants so frozen that. when
not attending fires, the fremen have
been thawing pipes; with second and
third alarms not uncommon, and with
every fireman on the island called to his
engine whenever any alarm was sounded
anywhere, only one fire that could be called
large has happened. None has got away
from the boys. From Chief BONNER. who
has not had his boots of for three days, to
the brave fellows who stood knee-deep in
frozen water on Front street on Friday
morning until they had to be logged away
by their brothers like chunks OF ice. and to
MARCUS KELLEY, who climbed the water
tower in East T~wenty-eighth street to thaw
its icy joints with a bucket of boiling water.
all have been as patient and as brave as
Americans at their best.
The policemen have been almost con-
stantly exposed to the storm. watching on
their long beats for fires, for the sick and
disabled and for the countless accidents
and miseries which such weather tbrings.
They have been sorely tried.
We are proud Of them all. They are the
Of men that won for SAMPSON and for
SKATER and for DEWEY, and that's are to-day

struck especially. as 1 observe was tho case will.
your dramatic critic also. by the acting of Miss
Blanche Bates as the Countess Airtsa Charko6, the
adventures Of the play. It was notable for that rare
quality. distinction. and to me 1t seemed the most
artistic and thoroughly satisfactory in the whole
cast. Miss Bates has the advantage Of physical
beauty. and. as I have said. distinction of appear
ance. Her accent, too. was admirably correct and
charming.
Now I see that Miss Bates. for some reason or
other, is removed from the cast, and I am surprised
at Mr.. Days losing such a pyize. for she revealed
herself to be an artist of the lind Il of which the sup
ply Is small.
Whether Miss Bates 10 an American or a foreigner
do not know. for her name is strange to me, but
that she is destined to hold a high place In our
drama l do not doubt. and 1 say II simply as one
who enjoys the theatre and feels 1t due to q con.

The Storm.

The records OF tho Weather Bureau since
1884 show that about half Of our February
storms nave developed in tho Northwest
and a quarter in the Gulf States. For the
past two days wo have had weather from
both these sources.
An area of high barometric pressure in
tho northern interior OF the continent set
the mir in high motion from tho sub
Arctic wilds OF British America to the
eastern %seaboard, and froze up the
country over which it passed. Mean
while another area OF high pressure in
tho Gulf region started n rainstorm north
from tho Gulf States which turned into
spow when the colder air was reached. This
was the storm OF yesterday and the day
before. We may thank the region Of pres
ont low barometric pressure east OF The
Gulf of st. Lawrence for the celebrity Of
movement shown by this storm from the
Gulf Of Mexico, the energy with which it
struck us and the bright prospect that it
wont linger with us much longer.
Behind the two waves of cold that have
reached us warmer temperatures are now
thawlng out the country, and there Is u
blessed prospect that they will reachu us with
out long delay.
We shall dig ourselves out Of the drifts
with extreme satisfaction and apply our
selves to business again with renewed as
siduity.

The vicksburg Military Park.

Under a suspension of the rules the
House recently passed the bill for estab-
fishing a national military park at Vicks-
burg, and now the Senate has concurred
without a word Of opposition. The meas
ure received more han a year ago the in
dorsement of twelve State Legislatures,
including the Legislature of New York, and
Of fifteen departments Of the Grand Army,
of thirteen communicates Of the Loyal
Legion and Of the United Confederate
Veterans; but more important affairs then
demanded the attention Of Congress.
The proposed Vicksburg park will stand
on the same footing as the national res
ervations at Gettysburg, Chickamauga.
Shiloh and Antietam, its object being to
preserve the site Of a great battlefield.
The project is modest compared with
the first two enterprises, since its total
cost is estimated at $25o,ooO. For the
land to be purchased, about 1900 acres, a
limit Of $50, 1000 is imposed by the bill, and
the whole immediate appropriation carried
by it is Se5, 900. The Secretary of War is
to conduct the work through three Com
~missioners, to be appointed by him, and
historic tablets will mark the opposing
lines as established during the siege and
the assaults, with the headquarters of
GRANT and PEMBERToN and other points of
interest. AS in the other military parks,
States will be allowed to erect monuments
to their troops.
Alike in the magnitude Of the operations
leading up to it and the moment Of its re-
suits, the fall of Vicksburg deserves this
commemoration. Apart from other great
losses sustained by the Confederate forces
in the preliminary battles and in the siege,
there were paroled at the surrender %, 1901
officers and men. and enough more were i'm
prisoned without parole to bring the total
above 10000. The artillery found in the
place included 172 pieces, of which 81 were
siege guns. AS a corollary to the fall Of
Vicksburg came that of Port Hudson, and
then the Mississippi ran "%unvexed to the
sea-" The capture OF an army and the sew
ering Of the Confederacy through the line
Of this great river had a most powerful in
fluence on the result OF the war.
