The Secretary of State to Minister Thomson.

[Telegram—Extract.]

Department of State,
Washington , September 24, 1914 .

I am convinced, after consultation with the Committee on Foreign Relations, that it will be impossible to secure a report on the Colombian treaty at this session, and have so informed the Colombian Minister today.* * * Important questions, both domestic and foreign, have occupied the attention of the Senators to the exclusion of all matters not absolutely necessary.
