President Changed That Portion Relating to the Caimi, Extracts From the Original Message to the Regular Session of the Congress Were Given Out For Publication. Washington, Nov. 14.—For several weeks President Roosevelt has. had in preparation his annual message to the congress, to bo presented a t the open­ ing of the regular, session. That part of the message’ in which the president discussed the negotiations betweep the Uni tee States and the government of Colopibia for isthmian canal treaty, It is stated, Avas completed about tAvo weeks ago. Events which have occur­ red on the isthmus and in this country since that time have made It. neces­ sary for the president to completely rewrite that part of the message touch­ ing the canal negotiations. - In the oppuing sentence of his dis­ cussion of-.tho negotiations with Co­ lombia the president said; "f regret to report that contrary to all expectations the government of the republic of Colombia refused to ratify the treaty for building a canal across the Isthmus of Panama. . "High authorities on international law hold that the canal can bo dug as an incident to exercising the power to prevent the obstruction of traffic across the isthmus. Nevertheless, in accordance with our settled policy ol behaving with scrupulous fairness and generosity toAvards our Aveakcr sister' republics of the south^ taking no posk tion that can even by implication be. treated as unfriendly, unless literally forced thereto, wo have endeavored to provide for the building of the canal by treaty. -In this treaty'w e went as far as it is possible for us to go in the. direction of making' concessions-to the United States of Colombia. No fur­ ther concerns can or should be made by this government. “A private company which in the past undertook to build the. canal baa failed. The events of the- last few years Avarrant us in now saying not only that the canal shall not he con­ structed by any foreign government, biit that it Is not to he constructed by any private eopipany. It must., there­ fore. be dug by the government of the United States." Referring further along to the terri­ tory bisected by the canal the presi­ dent wrote: "On the one hand, the United States 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 declare that the beginning of the canal can not be much longer delayed. This nation does not desire to be un­ reasonable or impatient; but it can not and will not permit any body of men permanently, to obstruct one of the great world highways of traffic: and refusal to permit the .-building of the canal amounts to such obstruction. Of course,’ to insist'/upon unreasonable terms is' equivalent to a refusal." "Reasonable time in the case of such an enterprise'as this , an enterprise which has been .thought of for nearly four centuries, Avhlc.h has been plan­ ned in,detail and worked at for half a century, and Avliicb, when, completed, will endure for ages,and will change the geography of a hemisphere and- the trade routes of,-the world must, of course, mean whatever time is neces­ sary to ■convince, ourselves that, thef course we are following is wise and proper. “i t seems evident' that in a matter such as this Ave sh'O.uid finally decide which is the best route; and if the ad­ vantages of. this route over any oilier possible routo aro sufficiently .marked we should then give notice that, avc can no longer submit to trifling or in l sincere dealing on. the part of those whom the accident of position has placed in temporary control of the ground through which the route must pass; that If they will c-ome to an agreement with us in straightforward fashion Ave'-ojiall in return act not only with justice, hut with generosity; and1 that if they fail to come to such agreement with us we must forthwith take the matter into our own hands."
