The Panama Canal

President Roosevelt sent for William Nelson Cromwell, counsel for the Panama Canal Company, to confer him about the canal situation. Mr. Cromwell spent half an hour with the President in the forenoon, and the conference was resumed by appointment at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. It is understood the President is considerably concerned over the canal outlook. The administration is not in the least disposed to be impatient with Colombia. and is willing to allow the Bogota *ovemment a reasonable time to execute its obligations to the United States. At the same time the Washington authorities regard these obligations as more binding than those of an ordinary treaty and cannot admit the right of the Colombian government to

recede from them.

If not carried out by ratification of the canal treaty, which comes before the Colombia Congress at its meeting this month, the United States hopes Colombia will .find some other means

of executing its obligt

cision will be confirmed by the Servian

Parliament.
