That the United States government
has given up hope of favorable, action
by the Colombian Congress on the
Panama Canal treaty was made plain
when high official of the State De-
partment declared that the treaty was
practically dead, although the Colon
bian Congress had until Sept. % to
act on it. Official advices received
here convey the intelligence that the
friends of the treaty at Bogota have
abandoned their efforts in the interest
OF ratification, and some of them have
departed for their homes. The ad-
vices tend to show that the rep resen-
tatives of Panama to the Colombian
Congress will represent to their gov
eminent the advisability of seeding

taking up the negotiations with the
United States for the building of an
Isthmian canal. Although Panama
does not control the entire proposed
strip, the intimation is made that she
has devised means whereby this may
be accomplished.
