WILSON ADDRESSES CONGRESS ON MEXICO (Continued From Page 1.) secretary of state submitted it to the cabinet. House and senate leaders were early at the white house to learn the details of the president's plans so they might prepare the necessary resolu tions putting congress squarely behind tbe presidenit and giving him full authority to act. While the president's plans were not officially disclosed it was conceded in official circles that he would ask congress to authorize what are known in International law as "measures short of war," which, while not being a declaration of war on the part of the United States might so be constructed by Huerta. According to best informed officials these would consist of the following: 1.—Seizure of the ports of Tamplco and Vera Cruz. 2.—Seizure of the Mexican gunboats in those waters. 3.—Seizure of the railroad from Vera Cruz to the Mexican capital, to a point including a trestle twenty miles west of Vera Cruz, to prevent the route to tbe Mexican capital being blocked. 1.—Probably a request for a special appropriation to carry out these meas ures. This latter point however, was not definite early today. Wood to Command. Secretary Harrison announced vhat Major General Leonard Wood, chief of staff of the army, would command th? American forces, should it finally be come necessary to use them. In the naval establishment every thing was prepared necessary for ac tion. Few orders remained to be giv en. Secretary Daniels was early at his desk, scanning overnight reports of the movements of the big fleets steaming to both coasts of Mexico. Rear Admiral Badger's ships will be at Tamplco early Wednesday, accord ing to latest calculations. Plan Larger Army.

TO APPROPRIATION OF $50,000,000 TO BE GIVEN HIM—HOUSE IS VERY SOLEMN. Washington, D. C., April 20.—The house upon assembling immediately and unanimously passed a concurrent resolution for the joint session with the senate. A bill to appropriate $50, 000,000 to be expended by the presi dent was introduced by Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the military affairs committee to which the bill was referred. The Chamberlain bill provides: Featuring New Draperies Lace curtains are rapidly coming into demand again.

Special "That the president of the United StateB be and he is hereby authorized to expend in his discretion for the na tional defense, and for each and every purpose connected therewith, the sum of fifty million dollars out of any moneys in the treasury not otherwise appropriated, which sum shall remain available unexpended." This is identical to the bill passed before the war with Spain. It was a solemn and quiet house that voiced a subdued but determined "aye" in reply to the speaker's ques tion on the resolution for a joint ses sion. Grave of face, the members stood while Chaplain Couden brought home the situation in his prayer, when he said: "Oh, God, a question of grave conse quence confronts us here today. A crisis, which affects thousands of peo ple must be met. Impart to the presi dent, his advisers and the members of this congress wisdom, courage and fortitude, that they may act in accord ance with the highest conceptions of truth and justice, and right, so that civilization may be advanced and things which make for peace and righteousness may progress."
