Legislators Reassemble
at Noon To-day for
the Third and Final
Meeting
JOINT SESSION
TO HEAR MESSAGE
President Wilson viii Deliver His
Annual Address in Person From the
Rostrum in the Hall of the House
Tomorrow Noon
Bu Associated Press.

Washington, Dec. THE Sixty
third Congress reassembled to-day for
its third and concluding session. Presi-
dent Wilson will deliver his annual ad-
dress, in person, tomorrow from the
rostrum in the hall of the House be-
fore joint session, outlining the ad-
mmistration program. Until that IS
fully disclosed, the work which will
be undertaken during the comparative
ly few remaining days in the life of
this Congress, which dies at noon
that the usual appropriation bills are
likely to receive first and chief atten-
tion. Whether the Sixty-fourth Con-
gress, chosen at the November elec-
tions viii be called in special session
or will not assemble before another
year, no one can predict with GER
tainty.
Appropriation Bills Paramount
After six weeks of respite from leg
islative grinding, during which many
participated in the political campaign,
members of both Houses assembled pre-
pared to go on with the unfinished
business left over from the last ses-
sion. That the general appropriation
bills would be difficult to complete be-
fore March 4, if much other legislation
were to intervene, was the consensus
of opinion among leaders of both dom.
inant parties. What circumstances
may arise from the European war or
changed conditions in Mexico, may be
the deciding influence in the meeting
time of the next Congress with its new
host of Republicans in the House.
Many RELOCATED to Private Life
With the falling of the gavels in
both Houses to-day many legislators
some of them prominent figures for
years in the political life OF the ma.

life, for this session of Congress is
their last unless changing fortunes re.

if Husrta's Power Should Collapse In
 Such Was as to Endanser Foreign
 ers' Lives In Capital Rapid Action
 Will Be Taksn-BeIieved Villa and
 carranza Will Not Heal Breach.
 Rapid action by marines and blue jackets from American. British. French and German warships in the narbor Of Vera Cruz was predicted in case the collapse of Huerta's power in Mexico City should come in such way as to endanger the lives of foreigners in the capital.
 It was consistently reported that an agreement has been reached that when Huerta fees an international force will at once be pushed over the railroad to guard the persons and property Of those who might be endangered by am archy following the dictators fall
 It was stated in Vera Cruz that such d dash by the powers would in no sense be regarded as intervention; that 1t would be simply using sufficient force to police the city and guard legations until the United States had decided what action would be taken in larger way. if any.
 In the harbor, besides the American warships, there were three British cruisers. The German cruiser Dresden was at target practice only few miles off the port. the French cruiser Condo also is in the harbor.
 Even hopeful observers of the situa. tion in northern Mexico expressed the belief that the coming mediation con- ference between representatives Of General Villa and General Carranza would not heal the breach between them. -.
 The "A, B, C. mediators, who have been wrangling over the Mexican sit uation for many weeks at Niagara Falls, Ont, have adjourned without success. It is said that after the en- voys have vacation they may resume their task of bringing about peace be- tween the United States and Mexico.
 Unofficial advices received in Wash lngton by Constitutionalist supporters that Pedro Lascurain would probably be chosen to succeed Huerta and that Huerta would resume his former pest as chief of stan of the army and be sent on foreign military mission. probably to Paris. l'
 Members of the Huerta and Maas families and former Minister Moheno will arrive in Vera Cruz soon on the steamship Espagne, sailing from Pu- erto Mexico for France. They have In their possession S4.000.0O0 in drafts purchased from Mexico City banks. They left Mexico City in three Pull man cars.
