WILSON'S POWER IN
CONGRESS IS SHAKEN
It Is Improbable That an Extra
or the Regular Session Will
Obey Him.

With the convening of Congress- in
extra session next spring. something
which now looks probable in view Of
the decision Of the Senate Democratic
caucus to press rural credits. President
Wilson will find on his hands a legis-
lative body less easy to dominate than
the >sixty-third Congress which VIII

true that there has developed in the
country a disposition to discuss. not
what Congress will do. but what the
Insurgency Is Growing.
Lately. the disposition to insurgency
has been growing and has shown itself
on a number Of Senate and House
occasions.
In the Senate. It has manifested itself
In the attitude over patronage Severai

will of the Administration. >.
In the next Congress. whether II
meets in extra session or In regular Sos
sion, there will be strong pressure for
passage of numerous important bills.
II is improbable the President can map
out a program for either An extra ses.
sion or for the regular one which will
be followed. -
The new House is made up OF ~
Democrats. 1872 Republicans, Progres-
sives, ! Independent, and l Socialist.
with two districts ..Oubtful. 1t takes

the Democrats have only fourteen more

Tammany May Hold Balance.
In the case of any great piece Of pro-
posed legislation. If the Republicans Of
the House stand together. it will take
but little Democratic insurgency to up
set it, 1t has been said Tammany's
members in the House would hold the
balance Of power. and this is practically
true.
In the Senate the Democratic ma
jority is going to he increased after
March l. There. the Democrats Will
have Sc members. the Republicans ~.
and Progressives |. The Democrats
thus will have seven more than enough
TO control 4 working majority OF that

more than in the House. 1t Is expected.
therefore. the Administration will have

 MT. Whitlock's attention to return home he advised the department, was in pursuance O. orders from his physician. Officials had IlnoWn of his ill health for some time, ard sev- eral weeks ago he was instructed to leave whenever his condition re Iuired it.
 In view of rumors, published abroad. that Germany had asked for the recall of Mr. Whitlock. on ac- count of his report on the case of Miss Edith Caveli, the nurse eXecut- ed for assisting British and Belgium prisoners to escape. officials stated emphatically tonight that the minis ter'S departure. so far as trey were aware, was entirely of his own initia- tive and in no way connected with the CaVell incident. They pointed out that permission to leave had been granted before Miss Caven was arrested. and said they saw no req son why he should not return to Bel @ium after he had recovered from his illness.
 MT.

 WASHINGTON. Nov. 3.-Assur- today from General Carranza that raidins bv Mexican bandits along the American border would he stopned las quickly as possible and those f"nnd guilty of bandit operations would be punished
 General Carranza made his state ment personally to John W. Ball. the American representative with the de facto government, with the request that it he conveyed officially to the state department. He said he would make a personal investigation of the border situation.
 Tn this connection" the state de- partment announced today. it is stated that expedition and reliable troops will be stationed on the Mexi- can side "f the border and that the secret service will be utilized in cc- operation wiCh the military authori- ties of the de facto government in locating and punishing offenders"
 Reports received at the state de partment today from Guaymas indi- cated that the forces of the de facto government had advanced a consid- crahle distance northward apparent lv without opposition. steamer with uoops. horses and artillery and another with coal had just arrived at GuaymaS
 other official advices stated that the political situation at TOrolo- banjo was improving and that Vera Cruz, Salina Cruz ard Tampico are reported quiet.
 The retreat of Villa troops from iGua Pricta has temporarily dis posed of the question Of whether any troops should be authorized to cross the border in protecting Amer jean lives and rroperty
 It Was said at the state depart ment that uo action had been taken on a suggestion from General Funs- ton that such q step might be nec- eSsarE- IL was pointed out that if at any time it was desired to send troops across the line permission would first be asked of the de facto governmen; and there is ample time for this. American and Mexican troops operated on both sides of the line. many years ago, when lawless- ness or the Texas line was at it's height
 IL became known today that the United States has taken the position that it is responsible for all ma terialS consumed by its troops during the occupation of Vera Cruz.
