PARKER TO JEROME.
DEFEXDS JUDGES' HONOR.
Believes Nerc-York Supreme Bench
Unsurpassed in Any State.
Kaoous. N. T . Nov. 30. — Alton B. Parker, -who
for a number of years was at the head of the
Judiciary of the State a* Chief Judge of the
Court of Appeals, to-night made a statement
called forth by remarks of District Attorney
Jerome at the City C'uh dinner Tuesday night
concerning the personnel of the Supreme Court
ben ~h in the First Judicial Department. Mr.
Jerome was quoted as saying tha.t "with few
exceptions I have not only no reverence, but
not even respect" for them.
"I have not believed." said Jud^e Parker,
"that Jerome made so broad a statement. I know
Jerome, and regard him too hiphly to believe
that under any circumstances he could be h?~
trayed into using- such an expression about the
members of a groat court in whom our people
have, and of right ought to have, the greatest
confidence. Fourteen year? in association with
other judges devoted to the review of the work
of judges at trial and special terms has led me
-as it has the Appellate judges with whom I
have been associated — to feel that as a class the
integrity, learning, ability, industry, high ideals
and love of justice of the member? of our Su
preme Court are not surpassed in any State.
"Beyond question." Judge Parker continued.
"it ifl the duty of th" people, nnd especially il is
the obligation of the bar. to use every effort to
maintain that high standard on the part of the
»~iary that has given to the decisions of
courts of this State a rank throughout the
United States not surpassed by that of any State
In the Union.
"That duty ran be best promoted by bold and
vigorous effort on the part of. th.. bar and the
public generally inoking to thp nomination or
men. in the first Instance, whose high personal
characters and le*>al abilities give promise of a
proper judicial career, and the renomination of
;ul judges who have been efficient, wise. ju»t
and faithful in the performance of judicial
duties. The Association of the. Bar of the City
of New- York recently took such action looking
to the re-election of Justices Ingraham and
Gilderslreve. and. in my Judgment it was the
controlling factor in accomplishing: that result
[| approved by the bar. the press and the
"Whenever occasion presents itself for similar
action m the future, it is fair to assume from
past action on the part of associations ot the
bar that it will not be found wanting in the per
formance of Its duty, a duty which looks to the
strengthening of the bench, not only by vigor
ous and wise action as the occasion for new
selections come, :>•< weß as in the re-election of
faithful and efficient i-:<iges. but also by pro
tecting from unjust criticism the fair lame of
The many Judges wh0..,, highest ambition it is tc

The tardy chill of winter set in yesterday in
earnest and drove the mercury down to the

The wind drove many patrons of thr surface
lines into the subway, and the traffic on the
latter lines was unusually heavy. The for.'
rastrr promises continued cold for to-day.
Warmer weather is promised for Saturday.
The lowest temperature recorded yesterday

PRESIDENT IN VIRGINIA.
With Family, Spends Thanksgiving
at Plain Dealing.
Red Hill. V.,.. N\>v. :*>.— President Roosevelt,
Mrs. Roosevelt and several of their children
spent Thanksgiving to-day at Mrs. Roosevelt's
new country home. Plain Dealing, in the south
ern part Of AJberaarle County. The part> ar
rived on a train over the Southern Railway this
afternoon Their arrival was entirely unex
pected, and their plans for a holiday outing had
l,e,»n carefully guarded. The party will remain
at Plain Dealing until to-morrow afternoon, re
turning, then to Washington.
The president's family had fu'.l opportunity to
onjoy the country at its best. Save for occa
sional slight gusts of wind, the day was an
ideal one for the riding and driving which con
stituted part of the programme. The ride from
the railroad to the farm lay along a rather
rugged roadway with beautiful scenery on every
hand. It was the President's first trip to the
picturesque country seat since the early part of
last June, when he and Mrs. Roosevelt paid a
f several days, spending a part <«f the
time on that occasion as the guests of the Wil
mers. The improvements in ihe house nad not
then been completed
Miss Alice Roosevelt and Quentin remained
in Washington. Miss Roosevelt had a social en
gagement which she did not care to break, and
Quentin was adjudged too small for the quick
trip to the hills
A MASQUERADES KILLED.
Little Girl's Big Mask and Skirt
Throw Her Under Truck.
Blinded by the grotesque mask and draggled
bonnet that she wore., and tripped by her long
skirts, Alaska Velebil, an eight-year-old Bo
hemian girl, living at No. 341 East 7.">th-st., fell
beneath the team attached to n heavily loaded
truck, at lst-ave. and Toth-sU yesterday, and
was killed instantly Her head was horribly
crushed by one of the front wheels.
The little girl had bfen playing ail day in her
extravagant alt ire. She wore her mother's
skirt, which fell below her heels. The mask
that she wore covered her eyes, and the skirt
obstructed her steps. When th:- truck came
toward the croup of children, instead of running
out of the way. she stumbled directly before it.
The truck was laden with iron water pipes.
The driver. John Reilly.iof No. 1,045 2d-ave..
shouted to the children, and all but Alaska got
out of the way. The horses knocked her down,
and one of the front wheels, with nearly a ton
weight upon it. rolled over her skull. The truck

He rave himself up to Patrolman Delahanty,
of the East 51st-sl station, who locked him up
on a charge of homicide. Am a formality, an am
'li ice was called from the Presbyterian Hos
: V but the surgeon. Dr. Baird, said the child
had been instantly Wiled The body was re
moved to the East 87th-st. station and later
claimed by the parents.
"JUDGE" FOUND AT LAST.
IS PREPARING ANSWER.
Possibility of Return Here De
pendent on Healthy He Says.
. Paris. Nov. 30. — Andrew Hamilton, who was
the confidential legislativ^ representative of the
insurance r-ompanies at Albany, talked to- day
concerning his plans and his answer to the re
quests of the Armstrong insurance committee
that he give order* to his ig^Tits in New-York
to surrender his papers to the committee, and
that he go to New- York to testify
Mr. Hamilton arrived here a few days ngo
from Bad-Nauheim. where he has been taking
the cure. He looks fairly well. His face is
ruddy but he still complains of ihe effect of
his ailment and remains under the doctors'
treatment pending their determination as to
whether it will be nc-eessary for him U> return
to the Springs.
Mr. Hamilton, on his arrival heie. went to
the home of an intimate friend. wh« is familiar
with his affairs and who explained some de
tails which Mr. Hamilton did not wish to b>
discussed publicly at this time. Mr. Hamilton
said that he had not the slightest desire to
conceal his whereabouts, although owing to his
continued ill health and th« attention required
to formulate his answer to the Armstrong com
mittee he did not desire to see visitors. In re
ply to a request for a formal statement, the
"judge" distated the following:
"J nm preparing a reply to the requests of the
c.mmittep which will be sent when completed
to President McCall of the New-York L.\f* In
surance Company."
Mr. Hamilton said this was the >nly formal
statement he would make now H>" d<
that it would b" manifestly improper to disrlose
or discuss the nature of hi? reply before it had
been submitted to the committee Moreover, he
was now engaged in framing his reply, so that
his work was not yet completed.
■You ran say, however/"' "Judge" Hamilton
added, "that my answer will be complete. Y"u
will submit my reply to the ( ommiitee."
Mr. Hamilton said he could not say anything
concerning tne length of bis reply.
When it was suggested that the judge mit,nt
give his personal views upon the charges put
forward in New- York without entering upon the
s of his reply, Mr. Hamilton's friend re-
"But there are no charges. In th. course
of the legislative inquiry, certain statement*
have been made relative to Judge" Hamilton's
relations with the subject, but no charges have
been formulated, and he Is now engaged to the
best of his ability in answering the statements
made rom time to time concerning him." he
When Mr. Hamilton was asked whether he
would return to New-York, he said it would
depend entirely on the determination of the
_ V\li nd tA t'ilfP
1 'Judge' Hamilton has lv-on obliged to take
a prolonged cure at the B * rln^ an ™* a
tion of the hips and shoulder. Should the phy
sicians decide that *»is return to the springs is
imperative, the 'judge' probably will have to
comply, as saving his health is far more impor
tant to him than this insurance controversy."
■Jufl^e" Hamilton «aid he h.^ed to be able
to complete and forward his answer in the
next few days.
RESIGNATIONS EXPECTED
Mutual Investigators May Make
Drastic Recommendations.
Following the resignation of Justice Rufus W.
Peckham. the resignations of several other Mu
tual Life trustees are looked for this month. _
Further drastic recommendations are expected
soon from the- Mutual Life's housec!eaning
committee, affecting conditiors thin far un
touched by the committee but of far-reaching
importance. As the result of recent testimony
before the legislative committee and of the
tumultuous conditions in the board or trustees,
insurance lawyers expect to see the Mutual en
tangled in a mesh of pollcyhdiders 1 and other
suits before the end of the year.
It is considered entirely unlikely that District
Attorney Jerome will interfere in the affairs of
any insurance company this year.
It was reported yesterday that certain trus
tees of the Mutual Life, Incensed at the attempt
of certain finance committeemei to block the
work of the Truesdaie housecleaning commit
tee. would ask Mr. Jerome to lay certain facts
before the errand jury
United States Senator John F. Dryden, presi
dent of the Prudential Insurance Company, will
be a witness before the Armstrong committee
next week.
While no authoritative comment could be ob
tained on th -ported intention of the Imperial
Insurant Office to appoint in certain contin
gencies a receiver for the Equitable s property
in Germany. 11 is believed that the company will
file a demurrer to any smch appointment and
fis'ht it in the courts.
Ex-President McCurdy of the Mutual life it
was reported last night, is considering leaving
Worristown N J. for a sanatorium in the
South, and will be unable to reappear before the
legislative insurance committee. The commit
tee wishes to re-examine Mr. McCurdy on Sen
ator Thomas C. P'afs deposition, contradlct-
I g Mr. McCurisy'«i statement that the Mutual

A fire, which originated in a motor box. tl

proaching the, Warren-st. station. A bluish
smoke filled all the cars as the train left the
Rector-st. station, and when it reached War
ren-st. it was so dense that the passengers
Jumped over the gates in their eagerness to get
out. There were only ten or twelve passengers
on the train, and no one was seriously injured in
the rush.

The passengers were put on the train again,
and it started off before the firemen had a
chance to investigate. The damage was trifling.

St. Petersburg. Nov. Vk— The Navy Depart

but to oflcers, except those of the General Staff.
No official statement on the subject of the bat
tle at Sebastopol yesterday was issued and tho
public remained in the dark, compelled to be
content with the countless rumors which are in
circulation.
It was reported from a seml-olßcial source
that, although the Otchakoff. the Dnieper (for
merly the St. Petersburg) and a transport were
set on fire and sunk in yesterdays battle, all
the mutineers have not yet surrendered. Vice-
Admiral Chouknbi was in command of the loyal
vessels, some of which, including the Patelei
inop. participated in the engagement. General
Baron Meller Gakomelskie, commander of the
U The" newspaper accounts of, he detaUs of the
fightintr at Sebastopol, which are based on tne
reports circulating in the city, are conflicting.
but they all say the battle ended at about 5:30 |
o'clock yesterday afternoon, when the ships of
the mutineers surrendered. The "Novosti" says
that five thousand men perished on both sides.
The leaders of the mutineers, it is added, have
already been executed, two battleships have
w n blown up and mines have been laid at the
entrance of the roadstead.
MUTINEERS BEGAN ATTACK.
According to the "Slovo" the mutineers began
the attack. After waiting until 3 o'clock in the
afternoon for a reply to the demands of the
mutineers, which included the convocation of a
constituent assembly and the immediate realizi
tion of the reforms promised in the Imperinl
manifesto. Lieutenant Schmidt opened fire on th*
city from ten vessels. Vice- Admiral Chouknin
renlied from the loyal warships and General
Baron Meller Oakomelskie from the southern
forts and with the coast artillery. The mutinous i
Bailors used riflt-s and machine guns upon th«
The fight, the "Slovo" says, lasted for two and
one-quarter hours - The mutineers made a hero
in struggle, but ttt* odds were too heavy, and
when the Otchakoff. battered to piece., and on
fire. sank, with the cruiser Dnieper and a trans
port. Lieutenant Schmidt, who was mortally
wounded, surrendered the mutinous squadron
and the mutinous sailors on shore hauled down
their flag to the Brest and Bielostok regiments.
According to the "Ross," however. Admiral
Chquknin and General Oakomelskie called on
the mutineers to surrender, whereupon under
the orders of Lieutenant Schmidt the mutinous
vessels, which had replaced the flag of St.
Andrew with a red flag responded by hoisting
the battle flag
BATTERIES TURN TRAITORS.
When the battle began the batteries on the
north side, which were supposed to be loyal,
instead of firing upon the mutineers, joined
cause with them and directed their fire on the
city and on the south side batteries. The Brest
Regiment thereupon stormed the northern bat
v.;-h Hxed bayonets and the guns were

the mutineers.
The ■I.istok" say." that the conspiracy which
led to the mutiny went on under the noses of
the officers, anr l that even Vice-Admiral Birileff.
the Minister of Marine, who was at Sebastopol
a fortnight ago suspected nothing The sailors
waited until they were assured of the support
of the troops, most of whom, however, refused
to go over to the mutineers when the die was
cast.
Throughout the first three days the mutineers
were orderly. They sent delegates to the shop
keepers requesting »hem not to close their
places, as there would be no disorder, and ask
ing the Inhabitants not to leave rhe city They
also sen* our patrols with instructions to nrrest
the roughs who were seeking to take advantage
of the situation. In all their demonstrations
the mutineers Intentionally sang '-he national
hymn in order to prove that the only traitors
were those who refused ro satisfy their rte
mands.

to the port and released those who had been
arrested under his orders.
Armed detachments of mutineers continued to
seise the small craft in the harbor which were
mo! guarded by troops. Armed parties in sloops
from the Otchakoß went to the Panteleimon,
l!n which there were no arms, c:,p» U red the
officer- and took them on board the OtchakofT.
We were compelled to tolerate pod) doings
inasmuch as 'h- fleet had been disarmed In view
of t™e dangerous attitude of the sailors. One

of the southern l - / were seized by the muti
neers and red flaus hoisted. The plan which

was first prcpos^d -vas abandoned, and It wa*
resolved to adopi energetic wires to prevent
the situation from becoming worse.
The officers captured by the mutineers were
taken on board the Otchakoff In the belief that
their presence on that vessel would prevent fire
being opened on it. Lieutenant Schmidt in
formed the assembled officers th.it he would
h;mg them if th<? tr. ..i| ■:•» •>•! shore took action.
At S:s(| o'clock on the afternoon of November

Schmidt signalled "I have many tured offi

The otrhakoff then opened ..,-«>. to which the

breech blocks had been restored, piled. The
Svirepoi advanced to the attack, but was met
with .i strong tire from two cruisers, the Cap
tain Sacken and the Pa royal Merkurlya, and
from the battleship Rostislav.
The Svlrepoi was immediately put out of ac
tion. iis were also two other torpedo boats, one
of which sank.
The Otchakoff had firer] barely six shots when
she hoisted the white (lag anil the squadron
ceased " fire.
A conflagration broke out on the Otchakoff.
and boats were sent to rescue the survivors and
to transfer those who had been wounded.
Lieutenant Schmidt, who was dressed as a
common sailor, escaped but was arrested later.
When the firing began a mini vessel which
had on board .'UN> mines, fearing an explosion,
was sunk by her commander Captain Blavot
schinsky, commanding the 7th Naval Corps,
started for the mining ship, but was severely
wounded while on the way. During the firing
against the Otchakoff. the field batteries! bom
barded the naval barracks, which replied. The
number of wounded has not yet been ascer
tained. The Otchakoff is still burning, and it is
impossible to extinguish the flames.
General Kaulbars telegraphed later that he
bad just received a telegram from Captain Ber
gel. chief of Admiral Chouknin's staff, saying
. that in the coarse of the night about 1,500 muti
neers had surrendered, with ten quick firing
puns, to the Brest Regiment, ami that the bar

General Kaalbars also forwarded an additional
dispatch from Admiral Chouknln, saying that
the biirratks in which th Bra had de

A torpedo boat which was supposed to have
been sunk was found to-day on the shore. It
was on fire. The Otchakoff is floating, but her
interior is gutted. The town is quiet.
