There is a strong opinion in Wash ington that foreign powers had more to do with the rejection of the treaty by Colombia than any real sentiment in that country, and now it is pro- nosed to construe the Monroe doc trine as prohibiting any foreign power or any company backed by a foreign government or under its pat ronage from acquiring a canal strip, It is the intention of the United States Government to convey to the exercise of religion for the Chinese Christians, the right of missionaries to rent property in perpetuity; and, ai ine request, oi me vomicae uuciu- raentg.
