CONSTRUCTED TELEGRAMS
The Difficulty of Communication with
 1GSOta.

Washington. Aug. 2G.-Minister Beau pre, at BogOta, has been asked by the state department to send more definite information concerning the proceedings about the isthmian canal treaty, but there is no way of telling how long :he message will be delayed owing to the interruption of telegraph cOmmuni- cation between Buena Ventura and Sogota. The fact that two mesSa ges of the same date reached the depart ment with an interval of four days be tween them shows how irregular this mode of communication has become The trouble seems to be with the land lines, and it is understood heavy trop:- cal growths have interfered with the wire.
 The only dispatch received today from Minister Beaupre was dated the 12th and was very indefinite, although t conveys the impression that further efforts are being made to secure favor able action upon the treaty.
 The Costa Rican minister called upon Acting Secretary Adee today, but it was stated, that his visit was one O. courtesy and had no reference to the isthmian canal.

you herewith for your information copies of two letters sent to Secretary Cortelyou with reference to the gov ernment printing office, which define the attitude of the administration in connection with the subject discussed. They are seEt for your information and guidance. as they indicate the policy of the president in this natter
 The letters to Secretary Cortelyou were written July 13 and IA. The sali- ent sentence of the first letter was:
 There is no objection to the em- ployes of the government printing office constituting themselves into q union if they so desire, but no rules or reguia- tions of that union can be permitted to override the laws of the United States which it is my sworn duty to enforce ''
 On the letter of the 14th the president quoted the finding Of the anthracite strike commission regarding the em- ployment of labor as follows.
 Tt is adjudged and awarded that nc person shall be refused employment ol in any way discriminated against or account of his membership or non- membership in any labor organization and that there shall be no discrimIna- ton CT interference with any employe who is not q member of any labor or Earization by mem bers Of such organI- zation.''
 Concerning this principle the presi- dent wrote:
 It is of course elementary decency to require that all government depart ments shall be handled in accordance with the principle thus clearly and fearlessly enunciatad."
