CONGRESS TO LAST
 UNTIL NEXT AUGUST

Washington, January 17.-Both demo- cratic and republican leaders in the House of Representatives agreed that there was little likelihood of Congress adjourninS before August next. It was said that this probability largely influenced the demo- crats in choosing Baltimore as the na- tional convention city. The republicans will have more awkward situation to deal with in having their convention in Chicago with Congress in session, accord ing to leaders. This has not existed since 1892.
 1T expect Congress to be in session until August l." said Speaker Clark, "as see no chance of completing important work in time for adjournment before the national conventions"
 Democratic House Leader Underwood said adjournment depended great deal upon what the. Senate would do with the tariff measures to be sent to it. "If the tariff bills are not delayed too long in the Senate" he said. i've may be able to get through it in June, but 1t does not
 look very favorable now"
 Republican Leader Mann said:
 The democrats are loafing in the House and as long as they continue to procasti- nate we shall not be able to enact much. IF see no way of getting out before the middle of August"

 The well known fear of a large per cent of those living south of the Rio Grande that the United States intends some day to absorb a great part of Latin America and the natural sym pathies existing among Latin-American people doubtless are responsible to u great degree for the attitude taken by the Mexicans against the United States.
 Manuel Ugarte, a celebrated poet of Buenos Ayres, now in Mexico who has gained international notice for his ad- vocacy of closer union of Latin-Amer- ican countries, commented publicly on the situation. He insisted today that the United States will extend its hands further into Latin America adding that "all Latin-American nations should prepare themselves by a maintenance of peace at home and strengthening of foreign relations to resist the un- iustihable aggression of the enormous empire, which dreams of unifying un- der its own banner all the new world.''
