Sentence Stayed

Yesterday morning was the time set
for the passing of sentence upon j.
H. B. Harris, the Silver Peak man,
who was convicted of having sent an
obscene letter through the United
States mails. Upon the calling of the
case this morning, however, Mr.. Har-
ris' attorney, Samuel Platt, moved to
dismiss the whole proceedings upon
the grounds that the indictment did
not conform to the requirements as
set forth by the statutes of the United
States, and upheld by the U. s. Su-
preme Court Judge Hawley took the
matter under advisement.

Catholic Church

Wednesday, March 20, is the Feast
of the Annunciation and in the Cath
olic Church a Holy Day of Obligation
mass will be celebrated at a. m. The
evening devotions will be held at 7:So.
II was on this day that the Archangle
Gabriel announced to Mary that she
was chosen to conceive and bring forth
the Son of God. The church ceie-
brates this feast in commemoration
of the fact that the Son Of God was
conceived by the Holy Ghost in the
yirginal womb of Mary, or IN other
words. that he, the Son OF God'
through the power of the Holy Gnost'
took the nature of man from the VIZ
gin Mary, thus becoming man anu

BRITISH SHIP AGAIN
SEXES THE GUNBoA

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, March
23.-The British cruiser Pallas has
seized the Venezuelan Restaurador on
the ground that she is a pirate. The
case against the Restaurador cites
that soon after she was handed over
to the Venezuelan authorities by the
German commodore she began again
acts of piracy and robbery on the high
seas. 1t is charged that she seized
the cargoes of vessels and then dis
mantled and abandoned the craft.
A Port of Spain newspaper says ed
itorially of the -estaurador's course:
Such piratical acts prove the un-
wisdom of the generosity of the allied
powers"
The paper expresses the hope that
retributive justice will be swifter and
more effective than on the last occa-
sion.
The Restaurados was formerly the
yacht Atlanta. She was built by Jay
Gould.

time the ambassador formally notified the
Foreign Office that the Republic of Panama
had been officially recognized by the gov

Tittoni informed Ambassador Meyer that
the Italian government had not the slight
est objection to the recognition of the
new republic. Indeed, he said, the govern
ment fully realized the great benefit which
the commerce OF the world would derive
from the building of the Panama canal, but
Italy had already arranged to act in con-

to Washington Fails.
TWO PORTS ARE NOW CLOSED

Preparations for Prompt Ratification

COLON, Nov. 25.-The correspondent OF
the Associated Press to-day received
telegram from Rogota dated Nov. q say
ing that the government had issued orders
to raise the army footing to 100000 men in
the event that General Reyes's mission to
Washington should prove fruitless. The
subjugation of Panama is given as the rea-
son for the governments action.
The italian steamer Venezuela, which
arrived here to-day from Savanilla, con-
firms the previous statements to the effect
that Cartagena and Savanilla are closed to
steamers going and coming from Colon.
The Venezuela's agents at Savanilla rep
resented that Venezuela was not aware Of
the closing of the ports and asked as a
special favor that Colon clearance be
granted. The authorities acquiesced, but
said they could not do so again. The de-
cree closing the ports of Cartagena and
Savanilla originated with the Governor of
the Department Of Bolivia. The protests of
the foreign consuls and steamship agents
are still unheeded.
1t is proposed when the messenger bear
ing the Panama canal treaty reaches Colon
to have special train ready to transport
him quickly across the isthmus to Panama. ,,
where the treaty will be Immediately signed
by the members Of the tunta. The train
meantime will be kept waiting and when
the treaty has been signed its bearer will
be promptly brought back to Colon. The
steamer Yucatan, due to sail Dec. 1 for
New York. will be delayed until the mes
senger arrives. when he will embark on the
Yucatan, thus starting for New York on
the same day that he arrives. This pro-
posal is meeting with some opposition,
those desiring to discuss the treaty at
length fearing that its terms will be too
favorable to the United States. 1t is prob
able. however. that this opposition will be
overcome.
BOGOTA, Colombia, Nov. A.-Delayed in
transmission -General Reyes cabled to the
Colombian government Sunday from Port

Panama commission at the conference held

Canada off Colon. He added: THE
Americans prevented us from landing at
Colon. Admiral Coghlan informed me that
