from the study Of labor problems,
John Otto yesterday afternoon sought
the once Of Governor James H. Pea
body, armed with . miners candlestick
more than . foot In length and ground
to q razor edge. This visit followed q
long series Of letters with which Otto
has besieged the governor since Octo-
Der 18th. So incoherent were tho let
tiers, that the Pinkertons were given
charge OF the case and has been chad
owing the man for weeks. His latest
letter to the governor, received Friday.
Knve rise to suspicions that he would
try to see the governor and W)isibly
attempt to do him personal injury.
hence arrangements were made for his
reception and arrest. The letter said
that he would visit the state house at
) o'clock yesterday.
Governor Peabody was not in town,
having gone to attend the football game
at Golden, but in his chair sat Deputy
Sheriff Leonard De Lue. with Under
Sheriff Felix O'Neill and Assistant Su-
perintendent 3. e. Prettyman OF the
Pinkerton agency near at hand.
According to arrangement, Otto was
admitted to the governors private OF

he extended the letter to Governor

he was detained seven months in hos

that he IL mentally unbalanced on the

opening OF the regular session the first
Monday of December. That part Of
the message In which the President
discussed the negotiations between the
United States and <he government Of
Colombia for an Isthmian canal treaty
II Is said was completed about two
weeks ago. Events which have oc-
cured on the Isthmus and in this
country. since that time have made 1t
necessary for the President to re-write
that part OF the message touching the
canal Negotiations
In the opening sentence Of his dis
cussion Of the negotiations with Colon
bia, the President said:
Il regret the report that. contrary to
ali expectations, the government OF the
republic OF Colombia refused to ratify
the treaty for building . canal across
the Isthmus OF Panama
High authorities on international
law hold that the canal can be dug as
an incident to exercising the power to
prevent the obstruction Of traflc across
the Isthmus" fe
Referring further along to the terri
tory bisected by the canal. the Presi-
dent wrote:

desires to safeguard with scrupulous
care the interest and the honor Of such
country or countries. On the other
hand. in my Judgment. It is time to de-
