PRESIDENT AT ISTHMUS

Colon, Nov 15.-The first trip of
an American president outside the
boundries of the United States was
successfully concluded yesterday at
lao O'Clock when the battleship

Roosevelt and party, dropped anchor
in the harbor of Colon. The Louis
lana, which arri red ahead of schedule
time, was conveyed by the Tennessee

Chairman Shonts of the isthmian
canal commission was en- hand to
welcome President Roosevelt. The
president of the little republic left
Panama at 4:30 on special train
for Colon and at $40 boarded the
Louisiana and extended a cordial
greeting to Americas chief eXecu-
tive In President AmadOr's party,
beside Mr.. Shonts, were Chief En-
gineer Stevens and Executive Score
tary Reed of the commission and Mr..
Souires, the American minister at
Panama.
During the afternoon President
Roosevelt received the local newspap-
ermen on board the Louisiana. de
said that his voyage had been pleas
ant and uneventful and expressed
himself as grGtifled at the welcome.
he stated that he proposed to look
into the Jamaican labor question and
also intended to see everything pos
slole concerning the canal.
