FULL CONSIDERATION WANTED.
Panama Canal Pressed Upon the Atten-
ton of Colombians.

fanama canal Pressed upon the Atten-
ton of Colombians.
Aristides Fernandez, minister of the in
terror OF Colombia, through the governors
of the states, has addressed the editors Of
newspapers throughout Colombia directing
their attention to the Importance of the
fullest consideration in the newspapers of
the subject of the Panama canal. Copies
of the address have been received in Wash
ington. In substance it is as follows:
THE matter of the gravest Importance
which should occupy the attention of the
coming Congress to the exclusion of all else
is the matter of the Panama canal, and to
decide this important business with proper
and mature judgment 1t is necessary that
all patriots should use their best talents
and positions to show to the people the
many complicated questions involved in the
case.
lit is not enough for the government and
Congress to study the matter; it is neces-
sary that all the people, the mass of the
population, should be advised fully of the
interest the nation has in the matter as
well as the many difficulties and problems
which the different projects present.
wherefore the minister calls upon all
newspapers and editors to publish all they
can obtain on the subject, as it is mat
ter of the gravest Importance to the flu
ture well being of the country, as well as
to the commercial interests of the world
In private letters received in Washington
1t is said that the opponents of the canal
complain because the Colombian govern
ment permitted the soldiers to vote at the
elections held for members Of Congress.
