French Chamber Refers Bill Re-‘
.lating to Court Procedure.
GOVERNMEN’" 1 IS SUSTAINED
Committee of Deputies to Have All the
Documents—Measure Give-s Both the
Civil and Criminal Judges Jurisdiction
of Revision Cases.
PariS, Jan. 31. —The Chamhe1
Deputies yesterday, by a vote of 36-}
to 18!). adopted the government's pio—
posal to submit to the comz-littee in-
itusted with such matters the bill pro~
viding that cases of ti lal revision shall
be brought ine-fore the united sett c1...
of the court of cassa'it on.
The report of M. Mazau, first presi-
dent of the court of cassation, on the
charges of M. Quesnay de Beaurepaire,
the former president of the civil sec—
tion of that body, will be read before
the committee.
The minister of justice, M. Leblet.
introduced the bill, and asked that 1t
be sent to a committee.
The preamble, declaring that the
measure was one of necessity for
peace, and to restore calm to the coun—
try, was greeted with applause from
the Center and murmurs from the eu-
treme left.
M. Georges Berry, Rallied Conserva-
tive, representing the first division of
the Seine, said the Chamber was not
aware why the government introduced
the bill, and asked for the official pub~
lication' of the evidence in the case of
M. Bard, who reported on the Dreyfus
case to the court of cassation.
(Cheers)
The premier, M. Dupuy, said he did
not wish the Chamber to vote in the
dark. He. was desirous that full light
be thrown on the subject, and there—
.fore the government would submit to
the committee the complete documents

in the case. (Cheers)
M. Massabuau, R‘allied Republican,
representing the Espalion district of
Aveyron, expressed surprise that the
criminal chamber of the court was al-
lowed to continue the revision inquiry.
(Leftist protests.)
M. Millerand, Radical Socialist, First
district of the Seine, reproached the
government with interrupting the
course of justice and' with placing the
matter in the hands of the Chamber,
which, he added, meant that hence-
forth it would be impossible for any-
thing to be kept secret and it would
be necessary to publish everything.
(Leftist applause.)
The premier replied that the com-
uittee would have full powers to ask
nor the publication of the documents
1nd the government would not object.
If the Chamber voted the bill all the
ocuments referring to the inquiry
ould have to be submitted to all the
embers of the court of cassation. He
.dded:
“This matter can be threshed out la-
er and the government will then be
filing to reply to all questions."
M. Faure, Nationalist, member for
he First division of Algeria, demand-
-_d that the bill be sent to a special
ommittee “thereby preventing the ori-
-inal court, whose impartiality is sus-
ected, of taking part in the final de-
ision on rthe'revision." '
These remarks caused an uproar in
e chamber.
The minister of justice replied that
- e conclusions of Mr. Mazau’s report
-t aside any question as to the sin-
-rity.and rectitude of the magistrates.
The Chamber then rejected, by a vote
1 346 to 189, M. Faure’s demand and
nopted the government’s proposal to
nd the bill to the committee entrus-
d with such matters.
The House then proceeded to discuss
e budget.‘

and the Consulate at Tieu Tsiu.
Washington, D. 0., Jan. 31.--The na-
vy department learned yesterday that
eighteen United States marines were
guarding the United States legation in
Pekin, and that twenty -seven marines
were guarh the United States cow
ests in Tien-Tsin.
While the department has no definite
information on the subject, it supposes
that these detachments were landed
from the Boston. It was supposed at.
the time the Boston went to Taku, at
the mouth of the Pei- Ho river, on
\1 inch Pekin is situated, that marine
v ould be sent there.
Authority had been granted to All—
Mll a1 Dew ey to direct the captain of
the Boston to send his marine detach—
ment to Pekin and other places if 1h:-
admiral believed it wise to do $0.1M
:l1at time, more'~ than a month ago,
there was great danger of a rev 0111-
tionary outbreak in Pek’in, and this
government, like the British. German
and others, was apprehensive of an at-
tack on foreigners.
The Boston remained at the mouth
of the Pei-Ho until several weeks ago,
and then returned to Manila. The
gunboat Peach-which had proceeded
up the Pti-Ilo to Tien-Tsin was with-
drawn also.
Admiral Dewey has never notified
the department that United'States ma-
rines were left in Pekin. and them-
formation that the department receiv-
ed yesterday came in a roundabout.
unofficial way.
A teleflram of inquiry was sent
Admiral Dewey. The marines will not
be withdrawn unless all danger of 1.11
insurrection among the Chinese has
passed away.

CARTER MAKES A reorrsr
:Anii-Expansion Resolutions I'mply Disbe—
lief in National Honor—An Army of
50.000 Men to be Increased to 100,000
at the Presidents Discretion.
-‘ Washington, D. 0., Jan. 31.--In the
Scnateyesterday the resolution offered
by Mr. Mason, Republican of Illinois,
last Satulday, and which then went
over, was taken up and a substitute
for it was offered and agreed to.
It recites newspaper statements as
~ to the illness and death of soldiers in
the Philippine islands, and directs the
' secretary of war to furnish a state-
ment as to the percentage of sickness
and death, and as to when the un-
healthy seascn begins in the archipel-
ago.
“I will not formally object to the
resolution, said Mr. Hawley,.Republi-
can of Connecticut, “although I have
no respect for i."
1 Mr. Allison, Republican of Iowa, the
chairman of the committee on appro-
priations, thenmoved to hand up the
Indian appropriation bill.
I Mr. Jones, Democrat of Arkansas,
called attention to the agreement to
take a vote on the treaty next Mon-
day and suggested that the intervening
time should not be occupied by appro-
priation bills to the exclusion of the
various resolutions pending as collat-
eral to and connected with the treaty.
_ The newspapers, he remarked, said
that those resolutions wOuld not be
considered, as the majority would not
permit their consideration. He hoped
he said that such was not the case.
_ Mr. Allison disclaimed all intention
of interfering with proper discussion
and proper action on any matter inci-
dental to the treaty.
After further discussion of the ques-
tion Mr. Allison said:
“As I understand it, there is no pur—
pose on either side of the chamber to
interfere with the proper discussion of
the four or five resolutions now on the
table, but the senator from Connecti-
cut, Mr. Platt, gave notice a day 01-
two since that before any vote was
taken on those resolutions he desired
an opportunity to discuss them, so
that it is manifestly impossible for us
to secure a vote on these resolutions at
this time.”
The motion to take up the Indian
appropriation bill having been with—
drawn, Mr. Bacon, Democrat of Geor-
gia, moved to proceed to the consid-
eration of his anti-annexation resolu-
tion.
The joint resolution was read in fli'l
anda motion to refer it to the com-
mittee on foreign relations was made
by Mr. 'Chandler, Republican of New
Hampshire.
Mr. Teller, Silver Republican of Col-
orado asked whether or not that mo-
tion applied to all the resolutions on
the same subject.
Mr. Chandler replied in the negative.
Mr. Teller-said he thong t it proper
to let 'all the resolutions go to the com-
mittee on foreign relations if he was
assured of a prompt report from that
committee. He would not like to see
them go to the committee and be
smothered.
Mr. Chandler remarked that even it
the Senate should pass Mr. Bacon’s
joint resolution there could be no ac\
tion on it in the House before the vote.
on the peace. treaty. He had no desire
to prevent a.‘ vote on the resolutions.
and thought it reasonable that, such
a 'vote should be taken next Friday
or Saturday. His own opinion, how-
ever, was adverse to any action on the
resolutions before next Monday.
Mr. Carter, Republican of Montana,
protested against all the lesolutions.
Be $8.10:
“'We belittle’ the dignity of the Uni-
ted States government everywhere by
undertaking to make a dicker with the
future as a price for present action in.
giving a vote on the treaty of peace."
In another place he said: “Is this
a pledge to those who «are openly de—
fying the United States in the Philip-
pine islands?" Before having that re-
beilion supr-lessed by such a supine
and trifling 11olicy,1 would have the
army of' the "United States out there
strengthened and supported until the
last man went down who is defying
the authority and laws of the United
States." .
~ “I am in perfect sympathy and ac-
cord, Mr. Carter continued, "with the
reported purpose of thepresident of
the United. States .to take. ample time
to consisdcr what is Wise and pru~
dent and patriotic and honest to do.

does not commit , the government."
The debate was continued until two
o’clock, when, without any action on
Mr. Bacon's resolution, the Senate

THE LULL iN CHINEEE AFFAIRS.
It Does Not Indicate an Impravul Situa-
tion.
London, Jan. 30.--Little has bee:-
heal'd recently of international rival».
ries inlcllina, but this does not indicatl
that the situation has substantial];
improved. '1 here is good reason to be-
lieve that Lord Salisbury regards acute
trouble in the spring as certain unless
diplomacy should meantime find some
means of averting it. He, therefore,
_is playing a double game just now, his
malin object being to arrive at a friend
ly understanding with Russia, and 11-
seems fairly sanguine. He is also en-
deavoring to insure a powerful coali-
tion against Russia in case she do
velops her aggressive policy to an un-
bearable extent between now and May

ble encouragement, Ambassadm
Pauncefote having received nothing
but generalities in response to his caur
tious inquiries as to the extent t1
which America. would go for the pro

East.
Italy, it is understood, has intimatel
that she will not act vs 1thout her pail

does not regard her interests as suiil
ciently great to warrant her doing any '*
thing against Russia. and the Germa:
