TAT ASHINGTON, Feb. l6.-With
NM the shadow of possible inter"
Wv vention lowering over con-
grcss, legislative activity In
both houses practically has come to
standstil No immediate need to take
up the questions Of warlike moves
against Mexico is anticipated, but both
houses of congress arc prepared to re-
ceive the issue should it be thrust upon
them.
1t has been determined that there
will be no more general legislation of
an important nature before adjourn
ment. One more problem was handed
over to the new administration Inst
week, when the house judiciary COM
mittee decided to take no action on the
single six,year presidential term resolu-
ton. This had passed the senate by the
narrow margin of one vote and would
have brought on a heated controversy
had the judiciary committee given the
house chance to consider 1T.
Another attempt in both houses to
repass the 'literacy test immigration
bill over President Taft's veto will
mark the opening Of the week, and the
friends Of the measure in senate and
house express confidence that it will
receive a two-thirds majority and be-
come law, notwithstanding the presi-
dent IS disapproVal.

this country in struggle that could

Democratic Plans.

A counter move by the senate Demo
Gratis in the fight over President Taft S
appointments is expected this week.
Democratic senators have decided to
demand direct action upon the army,
navy. diplomatic. marine corps, public
health service and revenue cutter serv-
ice appointments, AS compromise Of"
fer to the Republicans. they probably
will sugge~t that selected number of
postmasters, civil employees and cousu'
lar appoiutees be also confirmed.
Thus far the Republican senators
consistently have opposed such course
and have demanded that all the Taft
appointments be taken up in regular
order. The Democratic plan is based
on the belief that the Republicans will
accept the compromise rather than see
all the Taft appointments fail.
AS a part of the plan to let 10 fur
ther general business interfere with ap.
preparation bills, house leaders hnve do
termined that no action will be taken
on the question Of federal control Of
water power. II the senate passes the
Connecticut river dam bill tomorrow.
the measure will be sent to q house COM
mittee and allowed to stay there.
