COURT DECIDES
AGAINST COLUMBIA
AL Obstacles Removed From
Transfer Of Canal.
OPINION OF FRENCH TRIBUNAL.

The Decision of Court Holds Com.
plant of Columbia Not Receivable
and Plaintiff Must Pay Costs-ca.
nal Work Soon to Commence.
Paris, March 31.-1:45 p. m.-The
first civil tribunal of the Seine today
decided the case of the republic of Co.
lombia against the Panama Canal com
pany in favor of the defendants.
The decision holds that the com.
plant of Colombia is not receivable
and condemns the plaintiffs to pay
the costs of the action. This deci
sion has the e of removing the
legal obstacles in lne way of the trans.
fer of the canal concession from the
company to the United States.
The decision is a lengthy document
fully reviewing all the early circum
stances of the concession and setting
forth the various acts OF the Colon
bian congress, the treaties, ETC., par
ticularly articles 20 and z2, OF the treaty
of March 20, 1897, whereby the compa
ny acquired it's rights. These articles,
the decision says, have the manifest
purpose of assuring the full exercise
of sovereignty over the canal. 1t re.
suits from what is established before
this tribunal that Colombia is not in
possession Of the territory traversed
by the canal. Coming before French
court in order to sustain its rights
over the canal, Colombia tacitly admits
it's inability itself to control the canal

st. Petersburg, March 31.-1:30 p
m.-For sinking Japanese merchant
men in Sungari straits at the opening
of the war $4,000 has been distributed
in prize money to the crews OF the
four cruisers Of the Vladiyostock
squadron.
The Invalid Russ, the army organ,
concludes from General Mishchenko's
reports that the Japanese are contin.
uing their administration and are
gradually advancing on their way to
Win, their advance guard being at
Kah San, and their outposts 10 miles
further north. The paper declines to
predict the future phases of the Jap.
anese advances upon the Yalu.
In connection with the activity Of
the Chinese lanog the Shan Hal Kwan
railroad, the Bourse Gazette warns the
powers of the unreliability of Chinese
neutrality and says it believes they
are making a serious mistake, declar.
ing that the celestials are going to
astonish the world when the world
least expects 1t.
The Gazette further declares it to
be- the duty OF the powers to take col.
lective action to strengthen the pres
sure at Pekin In order to compel the
non-participation of China in the war,
and concludes:
Russian cannot forever play the
solitary watchdog of civilization in the
Far East"
The Novoe Vremya advises the gov
eminent to protest against the viola
ton of the Geneva convention in the
hosting Of Red Cross flags to protect
the Japanese troops in the fight at
Chong Ju.
The Russ thinks Marine Minister
Yamamoto's speech Tuesday last be-
fore the Japanese parliament about
the difficulties encountered at Port
Arthur was designed to throw the Rus
slams off their guard and believes the
Japanese will do everything in their
power to take Port Arthur, because, If
they fail. the Japanese will be reduced
solely to q land campaign in Korea.

"Oliver w. Stewart is without doubt
the finest speaker on the prohibition
or any other platform. He is an ora.
tor and a scholar. He represents one
of the Chicago districts In the Illinois
legislature. He is the only member
ever elected to that body as a third
party prohibitionist. He was elected
not because that party controls that
district but because the people Of all
parties knew that in him they had an
able and trustworthy champion for
every worthy cause.
For several years heN has BEEN ma,
tional chairman Of the prohibition COM
mittee. He Is q logical and convinc-
Ing speaker but no one need fear that
he will abuse any adherent of any par
ty which differs from his"

Liquor Law Conclusions,

The conclusions of the committee of
| inquiry upon temperance legislation
were presented to the Congregational
convention at st. Johnsbury Wednes-
day, June Is, by Rev. C. f. Hayward
of Putney. The committee recom-
mends legislative commission to be
appointed at the next session of the
legislature to study the question of
our temperance legislation from every
point of view, with authority to secure
official reports from all departments
of the state. to report TO the next leg
islature and if deemed wise by the
commission previously and directly
to the people of the state" The COM
mittee says that the administrative
features of the new law have disap-
pointed even its advocates because Of |
their ineffectiveness. While the i'm |
mediate repeal of the present law |
seems to be nowhere expected. amend
ments of its details are generally de-
handed" II recommends such amend
ment along certain lines. It says
that the operation Of the local option
principle has brought a quickening Of
he sense Of local responsibility.
