The sixty-first con gress assembled Monday for its final session. Almost immediately after convening both houses followed the custom of adjourning for one day out of respect to the memory of those members who have died during the summer recess. Five senators and three representatives have died since the beginning of summer, upon re assembling Tuesday tne two houses listened to the reading of the presi dent's annual message. The message was unusually long, running from 30,000 to 40,000 word3. In a general way the president urged upon congress the necessity for enact ing legislation to build up the Ameri can merchant marine, to conserve the natural resources of the country, to provide a new form of government for Alaska, to "supplement and strengthen" the Sherman anti-trust law, to enlarge the scope of the civil service law, to create a national bu reau of health, to provide a legislative basis for workingmen's compensation lor the limitation of injunctions is- of organl zatlon and committee changes n -quired little time. The opinion is -.gaining ground that little else than tl le passage of the various appropriation bills will be attempted. Statement by leaders of various parties andl factions indicate that the short eess.!cn will do little else than pass the regular appropriation bills. The regukir Republicans declare: "Well, we will get the rout'ne out of the way." The routine being the nu merous appropriation bills. The Democrats say: "Well, let's see what the Republicans will do. Our turn comes next year." The inKurgents say: "We are here to fight for progressive legislation, if we can get the chance." Bills to Clean Up. The big thing staring the legisla tors in the face is- cleaning up the ap propriation bills, of which there are ! 12. President Taft has been calling ! on the department heads for economy j and he is expected to continue the 1 process with the legislators. Until ; these bills are cleaned up it is pretty ' certain that nothing in the way of '. general legislation will be attempted, FIGHTING RESUMED BY MEXICAN REBELS Peace Commission Hampered by Soldiers In Restoring Order.

SECRETARY BALLINGER MAY BE IMPEACHED Washington. A resolution for ths Impeachment of Secretary Balllnger has been proposed and , may bs Introduced In the bouse at any time Its Introduction is timely. If the min ority report, censuring Balllnger, Is adopted by the house, the Impeach ment resolution will follow almost immediately, perhaps at the same time the minority report is adopted. The probability that the house will follow that course by a combination between insurgents and Democrats worries the administration very much. If the house should Impeach, the sen ate must, under the constitution, sit as Judge on the housa charges. Only a change In the present situa tion can prevent the house from adopting ths report censuring Ballln ger, and it is argued that then the house must go on to impeachment or be ipconslsUinL ' ' - NEWS OF NOTED PERSONS j General Merrltt, who was the mill' tary commander In charge of ths first detachments of United States troops landed, on the Philippine Islands, Is dead. .
