Many Absentees In House.
[By Associated Press.1

Washington, d. c., June 23.-There
were many absentees from the house
of members when President Wilson
read his message. He motored from
the White House in steady rain. In
a low even voice, which penetrated
every corner of the chamber he read
the messag. 1t took just nine minutes.
The message was an appeal to every
member of the house and senate to
lay aside all personal considerations
and sacrifice comfort and even health,
If necessary, to secure currency revi-
sion at once. Only in that manner,
he said, could the country secure the
benefit of tariff revision. The address
was notable for vigor and strength.

principal banking systems Of Mexico,
and shares OF most of the leading in
dustries, have lost upwards of $780,.
100000 through the depreciations of
their securities.
Big banks are facing ruin, he said,
and the national railways, most OF
whose stock is owned outside the re.
public, can hardly struggle along under
the strain much longer If method OF
increasing their revenues cannot be de-
vised. For four months their deficit
has been enormous. And every line OF
industry In Mexico is paralyzed, not so
much because Of the lnternecine war
fare, but because of scarcity of money,
exchange in the City of Mexico being
at the prohibitive figure Of 24O.
Just how far the ambassador went
with the suggestion that this country
recognize the Huerta government
could not be learned. 1t is known that
in his report 1t is stated that there is
only one real, bona fide revolution in
Mexico, and that this is the one In
Sonora.
Ever-Increaslng Deficit.
Wilson declares that outward indica.
tions are that the Huerta faction is
solid one, with no dissension in the
ranks; but he adds the significant
statement that for nine months the
government has had u deficit-increas-
ing with each period-to face.
The conference between the secre-
tary of state and the ambassador was
earnest and most harmonious. At the
close each spoke in the highest terms
OF the other.
One of Wilson's first acts was to as
sure his chief that a statement attrib-
uted to him to the effect that his stay
in this city was costing Secretary
Bryan $500 day In lecture receipts"
was lie, manufactured out of whole
cloth. o.
The ambassador explained to the
secretary that. many Of the reports Of
insurgent success In Mexico were in.
vented by the revolutionary junta in
this city. He explained the revolu-
tionary operations and dealt at length
with this phase Of the matter In his
report to the President. This report
will be gone over with President VIII.
son when. the President will have to
take up for solution the following prob.
lens.
Questions to Answer. .
How can this government best aid In
restoring peace In Mexico?
What part, II any. has Ambassador
Wilson had in the responsibility for
the present revolution?
Shall the ambassador be permitted
