136 HOW ROOSEVELT BECAME PRESIDENT It is meet that we as a nation express our abiding love and reverence for his life, our deep sorrow over his untimely death. Nov?, therefore, I, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States, do appoint Thursday next, September igth, the day in which the body of the dead President will be laid in its last earthly resting place, as a day of mourning and prayer throughout the United States. I earnestly recommend all the people to assemble on that day in their respective places of divine worship, there to bow down in submission to the will of Almighty God, and to pay out of full hearts their homage of love and reverence to the great and good President whose death has smitten the nation with bitter grief. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the City of Washington the 14th day of .September, A. D. one thousand nine hundred and one, and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and twenty-si.xth. (Seal) Theodore Roosevelt. By the President: John Hav, Secretary of State.
CHAPTER XI THE PANAMA CANAL History of the Project—Its Inception — The Nicaragua Route Proposed — The Canal Bill Signed by the President — Text of the Law — The Spooner Substitute—The Direction of the Panama Canal Placed in the Hands of the War Department — President Roosevelt on the Canal Question-The Incompetency of Colombia—A Bloodless Rebellion—The Duty of the United States. Probably the greatest event of international significance and importance in President Roosevelt's administration was the treaty between the new Republic of Panama and the United States, for the construction of the isthmian canal. The history of this great project is exceedingly interesting. Follow- ing the discovery of gold in California and the opening up of the Pacific coast, interest was naturally manifested in the question of providing an alternative route, safer, more rapid and less costly than those round Cape Horn or across the wild country and passes of the Rockies. The result was the construction of the Panama Railroad across the Isthmus of Panama, which connects North and South America and sep- arates the Atlantic from the Pacific. This railroad was five years in building, being completed in 1855. PLANS FOR A CANAL Following the building of the Panama Railroad came plans for a ship canal to be made across the Isthmus of Panama, connecting the Atlantic with the Pacific. The plan was to follow the course of the waterway connecting Colon or Aspin- 137
