they are ready for business.
Throughout the afternoon as the
house dragged along with Its organ

keeping in telephone touch with the
situation on the hill.
The president was DESTROYS of 60

when informed that this appeared i'm
possible, expressed his wish to give
congress his momentous message to-
night.
TENSION THROUGHOUT CITY.
Meantime, the tension spread
throughout the city. For the first time
there was real excitement in Wash

While President Wilson is delivering
his address to the joint session, his
words will be streaming along the
cables to the capitals of all foreign
governments, excepting to those gov

DISCUSSION EXPECTED.
While it is possible that the admin

of belligerency exists between Germany
and the United States may be acted
on tonight this is not thought prob
able
There was indication today that even
some members who are solidly be-
hind the president want to discuss the
matter.
And, too, there is belief that some
members who have consistently OPP
posed war will fight to the last against
any war-like action.
EXPECT ACTION TOMORROW.
Such pacifist opposition was fore
cast today in the appearance at the
capital of between 1900 and 5000 pa
cifists who sWarmed all corridors and
in many instances invaded offices OF
senators and representatives in house
and senate office buildings. Indica-
tions late this afternoon were, how
ever, that by tomorrow the Sixty fifth
congress will have taken the step that
will mean this nation shall employ all
OF its resources to carry on war against
the imperial German government, and
to bring the conflict to successful
termination"
The Flood war resolution will be
formally introduced in the house and
probably also in the senate, the mo-
ment the president concludes his adj

The greatest possible secrecy has
surrounded preparation of the presi-

most momentous documents ever writ

struction was accomplished in the
usual deliberate, methodical manner of

For days the president deliberated on
the question, drawing out opinions from
his advisers. He then began making
shorthand notes on his own and other
ideas as they impressed him.
MADE SHORTHAND DRAFT.
Friday morning he completed

discussed phases of it with his cabinet.
Saturday and Sunday he extended his

changes with his pencil.
