the testimony Of the mine bosses, fore
men and the miners themselves. To re.

Involve considerable hardship upon the

COLOMBIAN CANAL
CONCESSIONS

Washington, Oct, 2o--The status to-
day Of the Colombian canal concessions
is that both sides here are awaiting a
decision Of the Colombian government
as to whether Minister Concha shall
proceed under his original instructions
TO present TO the state department the
Colombian response 70 the departments
proposal for treaty,
When the response arrived In Wash
ington two days ago the minister
promptly notified the state department
that In view Of the recent developments
(meaning events that had happened on
the itshmus since the note started from
Bogota. Sept 16) he had regarded II
his duty to Withhold IL until he heard
further from his government As the
state department had In some way
come TO know that the Colombian re-
Spouse would, IL submitted, so far
towards meeting the desires Of this
government in the matter Of canal
treaty, this delay was very annoying
But as the minister had his own no
ton Of duty in the matter II was direct
ed that an appeal should be taken over
his head TO the authorities In Bogota.
Accordingly cablegram was sent to
United States Minister Hart at the CO.
iomhian capital, notifying him Of the

No specific complaint was made, but It
was desired to make sure that the Co
lomban government knew that the
note had been held back, The matter
OF objection by our own officials Is the

that the delay will not be long for even

Colombian government. namely eithar
the United States government to pro-

reluctance, the government might pur-
chase outright the franchise Of the

that II would have a right TO improve
Its own property, without reference TO
any other government and taking no
