by Colombia. He added that the ac-

Courtesy to French.
As matter of courtesy to the
French court the canal company had
refrained from calling a meeting OF
the stockholders until the case pending
had been determined. but steps have
now been taken to call the meeting.

probably will take place in the latter
part of April. The payment of the
$40,OOO.0OO to the company will he
made about that time. 1t is not like
" that the payment of the $1O.OOOOOO
to the republic of Panama will be
made prior to that to the canal com
Dany.
French Court Decision.
The decision says: 1t results from
what is established before this til
bunal that Colombia is not in posses !
sion of the territory traverSed by the |
canal. BY coming before 4 French |
court in order to sustain its rights |
over the canal. Colombia tacitly ad- |
mits its inability itself to control the |
canal. 1t therefore follows naturally |
that it has lost sovereignty over the |
territory traversed by the canal. L |
also appears that this sovereignty is |
by the new republic OF |
Panama. which is in actual possession
of the authority and power of admin
and of police
Must Accept the Situation.
"In such circumstances it only re-
mains for the Panama company to ac-
cept the actual situation of authority /
and the facts relative to the territory |
embraced by the concession. There
fore the action commenced by Colom-
bia is not receivable" The decision |
concludes with the specific recital IN
der the French code that none OF IL
claims set up by Colombia is valid,
that it's request to enjOin pending ac-
tions is not warranted, that its plea
for costs against the company is not
justified. and that the entire costs OF
the procedure are assessed against the
plaintiff.
VIII Probably BE Appealed.
The court announced that the other
case. relative to Colombia's right to
hold $4,000 shares of stock, will be
heard April 13. Although no formal
notice of appeaB was given it was
stated at the close of the court that

II is said that an appeal will not cause
delay, since the foregoing decision is
