Washington, April 16.-.The su.

Fuller, has issued an order granting
leave to file motion for o rule
against the circuit court Of appeals
for the Ninth circuit to permit the
filing Of an appeal in that court from
a decision Of the supreme court Of

action rule was promulgated attach

time issuing rule to the circuit court

acquisitions. The application in this
case was made by Duane e. Fox in
behalf Of the Wilder Steamship COM

organizing the circuit court Of appeals,
that body would govern Jurisdiction In
appeals from the supreme courts of
territories, and the supreme court
was given authority to assign the ter
ritories to the several circuits. But
the courts in the territory Of Hawaii
were organized by the act of April 30,
1900, on a different basis from other
territories, and the same distinction
was made as in courts of q state as
to writs of error and appeals, and the
supreme court of the United States
made no order assigning the terri
tory. The act also provided that
cases pending at the date Of the or
ganization of the territory should be
carried on to final judgment and exc
cution in the corresponding courts of
the territory. It also established a
district court, having the Jurisdiction

Of the territory rendered judgment

MACLAY AND SCHLEY VERDICT
Dewey, Pugilist of the Seas, What
 Does He Know About It?

Dewey, Pugilist of the Seas, What
 Does He Know About It? At the Brooklyn navy yard, Hannl- bal Nelson Maclay, ''the greatest Hv- ing historian,'' was not seen yesterday, though he is employed there as a i;'- borer and is paid $1.9S per day by inc government for his manual services. Had Mir Maclay been seen, and coll sented to be interviewed, he doubtless would have spoken substantially as follows:
 Tn some respects" said the great est living historian, taking his noe from the mortar which he was mixing and leaning upon the handle of the implement, the emptiness of ages III his face and on his back the burden 0f the navy department, '.in some re spects I am satisfied with the results of the court of inquiry, but in others am not. 1 am sustained by the ma jority in my contention that Admiral Schley ran ill caitiff flight from his eN- hauSted coal bunkers and showed dis gusting poltroonery when it came 10 risking his ship to accomplish ends that did not strike him as important, such as the destruction of the Colon. The loop is not fully indorsed by the court. and it is obvious to everybody of penetration that Benham and Ram say didn't like the cut of Schley's Jlb any way he presents it.
 ..To my trained intelligence it is clear that these high naval authorities agree with me and Admiral Growth shield and Captain Alahan and the i'm mortal Sampson, that Winfield Scott Schley made an offensive mistake i'll being born.'
 ''But Dewey" said the reporter.
 s.Dewey.' cried the historian, smit- ing the mortar pile sharply with his hoe, what does Dewey know of the science of war? Does even his most beSotted admirer pretend that Dewey is student as Mahan is, and as Crowninshield is universally admitted to be-men of books like myself, who alone are entitled as experts to pass judgment upon sea tights!'
 ''But Dewey" persisted the reporter, "gives Schley all the credit for the vic tory of Santiago.'
 Picking q asplotcho of driedmOrtar from his overalls, and crumbling it between his fingers slowly as he controlled his feelings, the greatest living historian said:
 ''The battle of Santiago, viewed in it's historical perspective, must be re garded as an insignificant incident in the caitiff Schley's- -disgraceful career. Did he. or did he not. infamously al- lege that his coal bunkers were half empty when, as the court of inquiry finds, three years after the event, they were full enough to satisfy them? That is the crucial question"
 But Dewey says he won the bat tle.''
 Dewey" replied the literary voice of the board of strategy, splitting con- temptuously upon the mortar pile, is mere fighter, and. like all fighters, takes a hopelessly narrow and unsci- entific view of war. He has no sense of military proportion, and therefore exaggerates preposterously the impor- tance of brute achievements. This weakness Dewey exhibits in the most trifing affairs of life, as might be ex- pected.
 .I am informed by the high
