NEWS FROM OUR
NATIONAL CAPITAL
Administration Officials Disap
pointed Over Turn of Af
fairs in Mexico.
Washington. Administration offi
cials were puziled when they received
tho announcement that Provisional
President lluerta had delivered an ul
timatum demanding recognition of hla
government lu Mexico by th United
HI ales.
The president and hi advisers were
plainly disappointed at the t.'iro of
vents but annuuueed that the Ameri
can government' communication ap
pealing for a suspension of hostilities
diid a constitutional election, together
with the emihatic statement that tin
der no circumstances would the Unit
ed Hiales rerognlxa the lluerta regime
bwaua It was set up by Irregular
force instead of constitutional order,
would place before th world Presi
dent Wilson's Mcaa aa to constitution
al government In 1-atln America.
In all likelihood thla turn of eventa
will mean the end of any deull'.ga with
the lluerta officials. Though there
waa much talk In official circles of
lifting the embargo on arms and per
milting- the Constitutionalists to get
the munitions of war with which they
declare they can soon overthrow tho
I luetic, administration, it is likely thut
such a policy will be carefully consli'
-.ri-d In the senate before any action
la taken.
The position taken by administra
tion officials wna that the United
States had done all that a friendly
neighbor could do without actually
using force.
No sentiment exists in this country
to Justify Intervention or a war, they
said, and no foreign gqvemment could
Insist on the sacrifice by the United
States of thousands of lives and gi
gantic financial burdens merely to ad
just an Internal dispute In which the
I'ulled States Is not directly a party,
and over which It can have no Juris
diction without infringing on the sov
ereignty of another republic which It
is by treaty obliged to maintain.
Adjournment of Session Uncertain
This session of congress will re
main In session "until snow flies" and
If necessary prolong the extra session
until the regular term begins In De
cember to dispose of tariff and cur
rency legislation.
This was the decision of the demo
cratic caucus of the senate which
adopted a resolution declaring "that
congress should proceed to consider
and determine legislation concerning
currency and banking Immediately
following th passage of the pending
tariff bill."
Determination to take up currency
legislation did not carry with It ap
proval of any policy or commit the
democratic party to any particular cur
rency bill. ,
Page Says He Shared With Member
In a dramatic statement, I. II. Mc
Mlchuels, dismissed cM page of the
house of representatives, presented to
the house lobby Investigation commit
tee a sweeping charge of corruption
ugiilnst Representative McDermott, of
Illinois, for years his Bponsor. Mc
Mlchaels In picturesque language cor
roborated the allegations of M. M. Mill
hull against McDermott, and made ad
ditional charges.
In addition to the charge already
made, McMlchaeia swore that the Chl
oago representative told him that he
received- $7500 out of a fund of $10,000
raised by the pawnbrokers of. Wash
ington to oppose a bill passed In the
last congress regulating pawnbrokers
In the District of Columbia.
National Capital Brevities
The vote to sustain the proposed
banana tax waa close, 31 to 23, Sena
tors Thornton and Ransdell, of Louisi
ana, voting with the republicans.
The Pacific Northwest was repre
sented at the bankers' conference by
K A. Wyld, of Portland, Daniel Kel
ltiher, of Seattle, and Charles A.kMc
Lean, of Spokane.
Efforts by Senator Page of Vermont
to prevent the democrats from cutting
the 6 cent duty on butter to 2Vs cents
wore unavailing.
Petitions from the cltliens of Scat
tie have been presented to the senate
by Senator Poindexter of Washington.
They ask for a congressional Inquiry
into the "origin, inception and prog
ress" of the recent rioting in that city,
when the headquarters of the I. W. W.
and the socialists were wrecked.
A change was made In the provis
ions on citrus fruits at the request of
the finance committee, so that the bill
now provides, a straight duty of half
of one cent a pound on lemons, limes,
(ranges, grapefruit and the like. AH
reference to the size of fruit boxes
was struck out of the bill.
President Wilson publicly reprim
anded Ambassador Wilson for his re
cent attack on the British foreign of
fice. Ambassador Page was Instruct
ed to express to Sir Edward Grey the
regret of the American government
that a diplomatic official of th United
Stutes "should have been guilty of
such an Impropriety."
