PANAMA CANAL

French Court Renders De-

APPEAL is TO BE TAKEN
Last Obstacle in Way OF

PARIS March s1.-The first civil

against the Panama Canal Company

way OF the transfer or the canal con-

heard April Is.
Although no hnal notice Of appeal
v-ss given Il was stated at the close
OF the court that Colombia and Bon

II is said that an appeal VIII not

The other suit relative 10 Colon

feet the United States. Therefore II
e the view at the United States en-
basSv and in other Official quarters
that ro-days decision clears away the
last obstacle in the way OF the trans
fer OF the canal 10 the United States.
The decision is a lengthy document
fully reviewing all the early clrcum-
stances Of the commission and setting
forth the various acts Of the Colom-
han Congress. the treaties, etc, prin-
cipauv articles 20. q and p Of the
treaty OF March 20. 1878. whereby the
company acquired its rights.
These articles" the decision says,
have the manifest purpose OF assur-
.ng the fun exercise Of sovereignty
over the canal. II results from what
is .esta blished before this tribunal that
colombia is not in possession Of terri
tory rraversed by the canal. BY COM
ing before the French court in order
10 obtain its rights over the canal,
colombia tacitly 2dmits its inability
H. itself control the canal. Il there
fore follows naturally that il has lost
sovereignty over the territory travers-
ed by the canal. Ii also appears that
this sovereignty is maintained by the
new republic OF Panama. which is in
actual possession Of the authority and
power Of administration and Of police.
Under such circumstances il only re-
mains for the Panama company to
accept the actual situation OF author
ity and the facts relative to the ter
ritory embraced by the concession.
Therefore the action commenced by
Colombia is not receivable"
The decision concludes with the
specific recital under the French code
that none Of the claims set up by Co
lonbia are valid; that its request to
enioin pending actions is not warrant
ed; that its plea for costs against the
company is not justified. and that the
entire costs Of the procedure are as
sessed against the plaintiff

POPE PRAISES
THE AMERICANS
Archbishop Farley of New
York Tells of His Various
Visits to the Pontiff
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, March 3l.-Archbishop
Farley who has returned from his visit
to Rome. got a hearty reception at
quarantine from fifty clergymen of his
diocese who had gone down the bay
to meet him.
IT had three long private audiences
with his Holiness" said the Archbish-
op. He is the third Pope have known,
and it seems to me he enters more into
details than either Of the others. This
is due, 1 believe. in a large meaure to
his having gone through every grade
of priesthood. One day / handed his
Holiness some statistics, which 1 natur-
ally thought he would put aside to read
at his leisure. To my surprise, he took
UP the paper Immediately, read it
aloud. including the figures, and COM
mented thereon.
"One is amazed at the knowledge the
Holy Father displays of the church here
in America and of the American peo-
pie. Indeed most of the time 1 passed
with him was devoted to a discussion
of those subjects. He has a great adj
miration for American character, and
referred frequently to the self-reliance
anu G2lSlS VI TIC <1lAiOA A~e'hS.
Soon after the news came of the ter
rible' fire in Baltimore he said to me:
II see they have begun to build al
ready. They have refused to accept
outside aid. That is, indeed, American
self-reliance.'
What impresses everybody who
comes in contact with the Holy Father
is his great affabiIity-indeed, I might
call it almost democracy. My secreta-
ries once took some packages for me
into his presence, and naturally re-
NAMED standing respectfully near the
door.
Wont you sit down.? he said to
them kindly. They did so, very near
the wall.
"'Come over and sit near me- con-
tinued the Holy Father, and for a few
moments he talked very pleasantly to
them"
Asked as to the. possibility of another
red hat coming to America in the near
future, the Archbishop declined to ex-
press himself. On the subject of the
substitution of Gregorian music for
mixed choirs, the Archbishop would
say nothing except that he would carry
out the Popes orders.

O'Neill to come out. He had the
drop on them at first, but they got
into the dark and told him to
come out or they would kill him.
AS he jumped from thecar he was
killed. The safe was blown open
with dynamite. The contents
were scattered all over the floor of
the car. The top of the express
car was badly damaged.
They then uncoupled the head
engine and took me with them
and ran. down to Keswick and
disappeared. The fireman was
left behind"
At this poir.t it is not known
what further damage was done.
The train had not arrived at Kes-
wick at an early hour Friday
morning. 1t is supposed the
three men that held up Endicott's
saloon in this city few nights
ago are the bandits. 1t is be-
lieved that they are headed
toward Buckeye, a small place in
the hills.

The train was crowded with
passengers, who should have ar
rived in San Francisco about 10
o'clock Friday morning. So far
as can be ascertained none OF the
passengers were injured by the
explosion or visited by the three
masked robbers.
O'Neill, the murdered mes
senger, was about fifty years OF
age. The passenger train was or
dered to remain with the single
engine. at Copley, the scene OF the
foldup, pending instructions
from Sacramento. The officials
here stated that their first care
would be to clear the track and

ly your entire body is affected, and how ev-
cry organ seems to fail. to do its duty.

a. Z. reynolds. Chief Of Police
Weak and unhealthy kidneys are responsible
tor many kinds of diseases, and if permitted
to continue much suffering and fatal results
are sure to follow. Kidney trouble irritates
the nerves. makes you dizzy, restless, sleep
less and irritable Makes you pass water often
during the day and obliges you to get up
many times during the night. Unhealthy kid
neys cause rheumatism, gravel, catarrh of the
bladder, pain or dull ache in the back, joints
and muscles; make your head ache and back
ache; cause indigestion, stomach and liver
trouble; you get a sallow, yellow complex
ion; make you feel as though you had heart
trouble; you may have plenty of ambition, but
no strength; get weak, and waste away.
The for these troubles is DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root the world famous kidney rem
edy. In taking Swamp-Root you afford
natural help to Nature, for Swamp-Root is the
most perfect healer and gentle aid to the kid
neys that is known to medical science.
How to Find Out
If there is any doubt in your mind as to
your condition, take from your urine on ris-
ing about four ounces place it in glass or
bottle and let it stand twenty-four hours. If
on examination it is milky cloudy, if there
is brick-dust settling, or if small particles
float about in it, your kidneys are in need of
immediate attention.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is used
in the leading hospit ais, recommended by
physicians in their private practice. and is
taken by doctors them selves who have kid

of the masked men in cutting

that they did not take time to

1t is thought the robbers were

highwaymen, but that he was
killed in the explosion of the
dynamite they used.
