NEW SESSION OF CONGRESS
Meanwhile Business Will Run Along
With Its Usual Tranquility--T Two
Weeks Will Be Allowed for the
Christmas Holidays

ashington, Nov. 24.-The long
special session OF congress promises
to merge into the regular winter
session next Monday, with scarcely
ripple of interest in Washington.
The present activities along new
lines, such as antitrust legislation,
will not manifest themselves until
early next year.
The currency debate, which will
open in the senate tomorrow will be
laid aside December 20 for a full two
weeks vacation. President Wilson 5
determination to drop official dut-
les during that period will insure
complete cessation OF work at the
capital.
Details. OF the antitrust program
will not be pressed until after the
success of the currency bill has be-
come assured.
The long special session, which
closes at noon next Monday, has ac-
complished the passage of but one
big piece OF legislation, the tariff
revision bill.
The Democratic leaders, however,
are hopeful the currency bill can be
passed in January.
The public debate which opens
with Senator Owens speech tomor-
row. will continue but three days
this week; and will be interrupted
the following week for consideration
OF the Hetch Hetchy bill, and later
for the Christmas recess. When the

consideration of currency legislation
is resumed January 5th, it is the plan
Of the Democratic leaders to bring
the senate as rapidly as possible to
decision upon the vital principles
at issue between the various factions.
The speeches of Senators Owen
and Hitchcock, both Democrats,
leaders Of the two factions of the
senate committee, probably will oc-
cupy the first three days of this
week.
The annual appropriation bills,
which will hold much of the atten-
ton Of congress after the regular
session begins, are now in course Of
preparation in the house committees
having charge of estimates and ex-
penditures.

MEXICO CITY, Nov 24-Re sign
ed apparently to those conditions
which make it necessary to carry on
dilatory campaign against his enc
mics. President Huerta and his of-
ficial dependents appeared serene to-
day. He seemed convinced the
United States would not take more
drastic action against the Mexican
Government than those already ta-
ken.
1t was rumored that congress
would not continue to meet: that it
would automatically be dissolved
and that Huerta would quit office.
All these have been disproved. Con
gress has launched into what prom
ises to be a prolonged session. 1t Is
expected that body will take up tG-
morrow the ratification or nulifica
ton of the presidential elections. 1t
is believed these will be annulled,
that new elections will be called.
and that President Huerta will re-
main at the head of affairs.
According to his intimates, no one
realizes more fully than General
Huerta the desperate straights ot
his government, but he has reiterated
his intention OF pounding away at
his enemies until he or they have
won.
Intervention Ridiculed
At the national palace the idea OF
intervention is scoffed at, and the
suggestion of blockade is received
with skepticism. General Huerta
himself is credited with having sail
that while his ports might be easily
vaders to get as far as the capital.
