No opinion was filed, Chiet Jus- tice Fuller simply anzouncing the court’s action, which in effect declares that the Circuit Court of Appeals at San Fran- clsco has jurisdiction. McKenzie has been judged in contempt of court for having violated a supersedeas issued by it when Chipps appealed the case from Judge Noyes' court. The Cir- cuit Court of Appeals can now take such action as it sees fit. Pending the decision | on the appeal McKenzie his relinquished possession of the claims, but stiil has about $200,000 in gold in his possession which was mined during his receivership. The su- persedeas issued by ihe Circuit Court of Appeals restored the claims to the con- dition they were in prior to McKenzie's appointment as receiver. To-day's de- cision upholds the supersedeas, and Mc- Kenzis will now have to pay the gold to the former holders of the claims. T court officers and attorneys here say Mc- Kenzie will have to return to San Fran- cisco and show ca why he should not be punished for contempt. * The contempt proceedings against Alex- ander McKenzle, which have been before the United States Circuit Court of Ap- peals in this city, have been delayed un- til the decision just rendered should have been passed down.

PUPE LED CLOSES THE HOLY D00 Impressive Ceremonies at St. Peter’s Cathedral in Rome. His Holiness Chants the “The Deum’ in a Resonant Voice and Suffers No Unusual Fatigue. o ROME, Dec. 24—The Pope to-day per- formed the ceremony of closing the holy door of St. Peter's. Cathedral with the gorgeous forms usual to great functions of this kind. It was a magnificent spec- tacle.” There was a great gathering of the Princes of the church, who partici- pated in the cermony, which was wit- nessed by enormous crowds, The closing of the Holy Door took place with the utmost pomp of the Catnolic Church, his Holiness descenaing to St. Peter's’ Cathedral at 11 a. m., and _the | ceremonies lasted unfil 1. p. m. The Pope | then returned to his apartments, appar-| ently not fatigued. He intoned the “Ta| | Deum' in a resonant voice, and through- out gave evidence of being in excelient health and spirits. He used the artistic golden trowel, subscribed for by the Cath. olies of the world, In mortaring the glided bricks which he placed, as a first layer, on the threshold of St. Peter's door. The whole pontificlal court participated in the ceremonies. The spectacle inside the vast basilica was superb. The pillars of the central nave were draped with gold embroidered | | scarlet cloth, and the porch under which the function’ took place was transtormed into a magnificently decorated hall. On | the left of the Holy Door was erected the pontificial throne, covered with red and | gold. On the right hand of the door stood | tribunes for royal personages, Princes, | Knights of Maita, prelates, representa: tives of the Roman nobility, and other distinguished persons. | Inside the church every inch of space was occupled by the throng which gath- ered early in the morning. A strong de- | tachment of iroops, stationed In the | square in front of the Cathedral, con- | trolled the incoming crowds, who literally | The Pope left his apartments at 11:45 a. m., borne in the sacred chair and pre- | archbishops, bishops and cardinals, and ceded by clergy with lighted candles, | archbishops, bishops and ecardinals, and escorted by’ the pontificial noble guards. On his arrival at the portal of St. Peter's he alighted and _entered the church through the Holy Door. As he appeared on the threshold, the silvery tones of the trumpet echoed through the edifice. The chaplain of the Vatican met him and pre- sented to him holy water, which he sprinkied upon the congregation. Ap- | plause being forbidden, a religious silence was observed, which heightened the grandeur and impressiveness of the mo- ment. Borne now on the Sedla Gestatoria to the high altar, he stepped to the ground and knelt before the most precious relics of the Catholic Church, which were dis- played on the altar. Then the procession reformed and proceeded to the chapel of the Sacrament, where the Pontiff again knelt for some time, while the choir of the Bistine chapel chanted psalms. The Pope was then borne to the Holy Door, where he alighted from the Sedia Gesta- toria and waited until the entire proces- sion had gassed out through the door, he leaving the church last and walking to the throne, where he seated himself. A number of sacred songs were sung by the Papal cholr, after which Leo rose and blessed all the materfal employed in clos- ln{ the door. hen he descended fr the. throne, knelt before the dome and"lald with the gold trowel a layer of cement, on which e placed three gilt bricks bearing com- memorative inscriptions. Beside the bricks, he placed a casket containing gold, v nze medals and bearing the silver and bronze dal d bearing th head of Leo, and Inscriptions recording the opening and closing of the Holy | screen, Door. The Pope having ascended the throne, Cardinal Bisho Serafino Vannutelll, great plenipotentiary, and four other car- dinals, performed a similar_ceremony of laying cement and three bricks, after which the masons employed by the Vati. can closed the doorway with a canvass ainted to represent marble, with a cross in the center. The candles borne by the clergy were exti ighed, the “Te Deum' was sung and the Pontiff, having given solemn ben- ediction, was immediately carried back to his apartments.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.—Word has lazi. It appears from the testimony that two natives were responsible for the death the house of a native named Victor Pere and foreibly took him and his wife to the Panay River, where they bound their hands behind them and told them that their “last day had come.” The woman ‘was struck by a bolo and her body thrown into the river. Her husband witnessed her murder, and, anticipating similar treatment, sprang into the river, and, not- withstanding his arms were ' pinioned, managed to reach the opposite side. According to witnesses, the motive for the crime was a superstitious belief that the woman was possessed of occult pow- ers, whereby she in some mysterious way bad brought about the death of a neigh- bor's child. The two men were sentenced to be hanged, but General, MacArthur mitigated the s=entence In each case to confinement at hard labor for twenty years, out of consideration for the ex- ceedingly low order of intelligence and blind superstition of the accused.

The War Depart- ment is considerably embarrassed by the failure of Congress to make provision be- fore the recess for the relief of the mili- | tary situation In the Philippines. Acting | upon representations made by General | mMacArthur, the department has concluded that it is absolutely necessary to maintain an army of 60,000 men in the Philippine Islands until the current policy of estab- lishing municipal governments through- | out the archipelago has been executed. It is stated at the department that with any reduction of the military strength below that figure existing conditions would doubtless prove mest disastrous to the in- | terests of the United States. There are now about 69,000 troops, regu- lars and volunteers, in the Philippines, and arrangements have been alrea made for brlng\n( home 9000 of that num- her. No further reduction will be made until the War Department is advised fully of the purpose of Congress avith regard to army legislation.
