Washington, March 12.-Ordering of American troops into Mexico to pur- sue General Villa and the administra- tion's victory in the armed ship con- troversy have had a steadying effect upon congress, which for several weeks had been a storm center over international affairs. The vain effort to give official warning to Americans against travel an armed merchantmen of belligerentS had turned the con- gresS from it's regular course of busi- ness and there were fears of another outbreak to hinder the progress of leg islation further when Villa and his raiders committed the murderous as- saults at Columbus, N. M. But the prompt action of the administration has served as an effective check thus far upon congressional agitation with regard to Mexico and no legislation on this subject is now contemplated, un- less there should arise entangling alli- ances with the de facto government in Mexico.

Johnson of California.
 Three presidential candidates have filed on the republican ticket. but the candidates for delegates have named only two as their choice. They are Albert B. Cummins. United States senator from Iowa, and Henry D. Estabrook, of New York, the third candidate is William Grant Webster, of Chicago.
 Two women are among those seek ing selection as delegates on the prohibition ticket, which has Eugene N. Foss, former governor of Massa- chusetts. and William Sulzer, form CT governor of New York, as presi- dential candidates.
