It Is Only Certain That There Is
 Strong Colombian Opposition.

Washington. April 17.-Dr. Herran, the Colombian charge d'affairs here, said today with reference to the pros poets for the ratification of the canal treaty by the Colombian congress: 'The advices 1 receive from Bogota through private sources are quite con- tradictory. They show the opposition to the treaty to be quite stl eng, out dc not state who are leading the opposition. I have received no official Information t. indicate what are the prospects for the success or failure cf the treaty and at this distance l am unable to form an opinion 2s tc the relative strength of the Friends and opponents of the treaty.
 II am still without information as to the exact date when congress will be convened except that contained in earlier advices that it would be assem- bled about May l.
 The matters to come before the spec ial session are the canal treaty. and the question of a reorganization of the finances of the government.

MAKE IT OVER.
Change of Diet Will Build an Entire
 New Body.

People can be entirely made over by q scientific course of food and drink. Even old. chronic diseases and heredI- t2ry ailments are eliminated by the wonderful processes of reconstruction under modern methods of feeding.
 An illustration is worth attention. A lady writes: "I feel this letter will exceed all reasonable bounds but how can I be brief when I have so much to tell. First about myself I inherited nervous headaches and half invalid condition had to give up tea and cof- fee, but some months ago q friend in- sisted that l start on Postum Food Cor- fee and Grape Nuts breakfast food.
 "I prepared the coffee myself. care fully according to directions on the package and used good cream. The first cup seemed the most delicious and satisfying drink I had ever tasted I drained il and filled it again, I was ] impressed with the idea that it was just what my starved nerves demand ed. So l used Postum and Grape Nuts with good rich cream. Now for abou. four weeks I have been entirely free from headaches and nervousness, and l. There has also been q marked change. in my appearance. l am 4 years old and my hair is very white. but the hae- gard, careworn look is entirely gone from my face, my cheeks and body have filled out, the face shows a fine color, flesh firm and smooth, eyes clear ana lips red. My friends comment on trc i change and say 1 lool. 15 years young CT. They are incredulous when I tell
 them that skillful feeding on scientific
 food like Grape Nuts and Postum Food Coffe has wrought the change.
 "Now as to my son 26 years old who has been afflicted with epilepsy from
 infancy. I hardly dare tell the facts ! but he is here in the body to prove 1 them. He has had the best treatment 1 in this country all without perceptfble ! benefit. His memory was. gradually i growing weaker. At the time l starte ! on Postum and Grape-Nuts he started also. and the change in him has been
 so wonderful that l can hardly de-
 scribe it. Now he carries himself
 erect instead of in his former careless
 way. his eyes are clear and bright. and
 best of all his memory is growing stronger and stronger every day until
 I am fairly overcome with astonisn-
 ment. He shows a decision of charac- ter quite unusual and has lately ex-
 pressed 9 strong desire to study. I dare rot say what hopes his improvement
 has raised.

You are directed to watch this matter closely, and earnestly oppose any such applica- tioE, on the ground that this is not an ordinary case of equity jurisdiction between private parties, but a special and enlarged statutory remedy in equity to enjoin violation of a penal law. The decree finds the defendants guilty of violating the declared public policy of the nation. For that reason the government opposes any suspen- sion or modification of the judgment of the court.
 The modification proposed would in effect be an indulgence to continue to violate law of the United States As the suspension of the operation of the law is net the exercise of judicial function it is inConceivable that equity rule g cOntemplates 2 suspension or modification under terms that will se- cure such rights of an opposite party as could be protected by bond to ir- demnify.

Dublin April 1.-The Irish national convention was concluded this evenings In two days it got through a large amount of controversial work and emerged, to quote T. P. OConnor "scathless and honored from a test that the wide world was watching. It was not only shaping the destinies Of Ireland, but it held in it's hand the fate of the powerful British ministry
 John Redmond, replying to an enthr- siastic vote of thanks for his chair manship declared that the convention was Q credit in every particular to Ireland. In a statement, MT Remond makes the important announcement that the amendments adopted by the convention will be accepted at the joint conference at which Lord Dunraven, lord mayor. Captain ShaweTaylor. John Redmond, William OBrien and T. w. Russell will meet. This practically insures the passa ge of the Irish land bill.
 The delegates returned to their homes tonight in a happy frame of mind, echoing John Redmond's parting words May the God of our fathers once again visit this land with the peace and plenty that are her due.''
 T. ". O'Connor, summing up today's proceedings, wrote the following for the Associated press: This was the day for agreeing on the amendments 'o 'bs landtblli, vTrsk- f.'e considered essential. Most of t1es were proposed by William O'Brien. They covered several important questions, including demands for more liberal treatment Of the congested districts and Jf the lab Orers. The proceedings were ex- tremely harmonious. There was an an imated, but good humored discussion on the retention Of an eighth as a rent charge, proposed by MT. Davitt and myself, the former representing views in favor Of the standardization of land while 1 put forward those of peasan- proprietary. Ultimately, a resolution was adopted condemnng the eighth, but retaining a technical rent charge"
 One of the most important amend ments was that proposed by Michael Davitt, that the principle of the Amer ican homestead law be added to the land bill to safeguard the peasants from the results of improvident bor- rowing ana the operation or lana SfaD- bers and land jobbers."
 John Redmond made the following statement to the Associated Press: "The convention was the most import ant assembly held in Ireland during the last hundred years. If it's recoIn- mendations be substantially carried out by the government the land ques- tion will be settled and the whole fu- ture of Ireland will be full of hope. The conventions recommendations will be supported by the members of the land conference. and they will be pre- sented to the government as the de- mands of both landlords and tenants. I have the strongest possible hope tnat the government will have the wisdom to accept them. If all goes well, the result will be the absolute end of the land war in Ireland, the union of all classes and creeds in this country. with the inevitable result of the concession, almost immediately. certainly within the lifetime of the present generation, of system of national self-govern ment.
