MEXICO CITY, Match 3.—The firm and energetic military rule promised by the new Mexican government under Pro visional President Huerta probably will be inaugurated this week. Huerta has had eight days of conferences with the various rebel chiefs or with commis sioners sent by them.

The program of pacification will, it is expected, be jiut to some severe tesPs; A band of adherents of Zapata fired on a federal troop train running from the capital to Cuernavaca yesterday and sixty soldiers were killed or wounded. Similar hands of Zapatistas continue committing raids in the federal district itself and in the state of Morelos, in dicating that some of the mountaineer rebels are determined to keep up their guerilla warfare despite the negotia tions between the government and the brothers Zapata. W bile the federal government ex presses itself as sanguine of success in the northern states, a lack of harmony between the various bands of rebels In that region was developed on the ar rival here of representatives of Orozco and other chiefs. Today and tomorrow are to be devot ed to conferences between these rebel representatives and the ministers of war and interior. The railroads be tween the capital and the north are still interrupted.

The American soldiers were holding their position at the international .line when reinforced by two troops of the Ninth. The Mexicans were routed, leaving four killed on the field and others struggling througn the brush wounded. It is said that the American troops became so excited that they overstepped the boundary and Dursued the Mexicans for some distance.

Epoch Making Session Draws Near Close - Many Things Done (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, March 3.—With the adjournment of congress Tuesday nopn, the end will be written to two years'of epoch-making stuggle within party ranks: and to three sessions of effort, only partially successful, to adjust the diffeences between a Democratic house, a senate under Democrattc-Pogressive control, and a Republican president. Many important pieces of legislation have been enacted within that time; in vestigations of a peculiar significance to the public have been conducted; and tnany subjects of general interest have been laid aside without action. The tariff, attacked alike from Democratic and Republican sources twice during that period, has been the subject of at tempted revision, but none of the po- P.osed changes became effective. The sixty-second congress opened in 1911 with a special session called by President Taft to consider Canadian re ciprocity: it ends with an extra session of the sixty-third congress only a few weeks away, to be called by President Wilson for a general revision of the Payne-A ldrich tariff law. National con ventions, the birth of a new party, a complete change of administration have Intervened between its beginning and its end. Activities of the short session now closing have been limited almost entirely to routine work, because of the determination to leave to the new ad ministration all of the important sub jects of a general character. IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS. Perhaps the ’ most important develop ments of the entire congress are the fol lowing: Canadian reciprocity law passed, but rejected by Canada. Wool, cotton, metal and free list tariff bills passed, but vetoed by President Taft. Constitutional amendment for popular election of senators submitted to the states. Shipment of liquor into prohibition states forbidden by law. Arbitration treaties with Great Britain and France negotiated, but failed of ratification because of changes made by the senate. Temination of the treaty of 1832 with Russia demanded by congress. Notice served on the world bv the senate, that the United States will not permit foreign nations to secure mili tary or naval - fbotholds where they might threaten safety of this country. Children’s bueau created in depart ment of commerce and labor. Panama canal law passed, establishing free passage for American coastwise ships, and barring railroad-owned ves sels from the canal. Campaign publicity laws passed, re quiring a complete public accounting of all campaign funds. William Lorimer declared not entitled to seat as senator from Illinois. Judge Robert W. Archbald, of com merce court, impeached and convicted on charges of judicial misconduct. MANY PROBES. Money trust investigation conducted, disclosing detailed methods of present- day financial operation. Campaign expeditures investigated covering campaign funds of 1904, 1908 and 1912; and disclosing correspondence between John D. Archbold, of the Stand ard Oil company, and members of con gress. 4 . Investigation made ,of formation and operation of the United States Steel cor poration. These comprise but a few of the laws Here’s. Tuesday’s Program ■ - >, V) V . \ ri " (Specie!

SMITH. ° WASHINGTON, March 3.—Amid the strains of many bands of music, the shouting: of thousands of voices, the waving: of flags and the yelling of the Princeton college boys, Woodrow Wilson, who tomorrow becomes president of the United States, arrived at the Union Station this afternoon at 3:45 o’clock and was met by a large delegation from congress. passed, investigations conducted, treaties passed on, and legislative sub jects considered during the two years of the sixty-second congress. The two great personal struggles, involving Wil liam Lorimer and Judge Archbald, ran throughout the congress; and with their interesting phases helped to draw at tention from the actual legislative work of the two years. While congress passed an eight-hour law covering all government contracts except on the Panama canal; it took no action on three important subjects: an ti-injunction, workmen’s compensation, and anti-trust legislation. Recommenda tions were made by a senate committee ^ithin the last week, for radical changes in the.anti-trust law, to restore compet itive ** Conditions and prevent monopoly; and they may bear fruit in legislation .under the new administration. The final session, now ending, has witnessed a struggle in the senate be tween Republicans and Democrats, that prevented the confirmation of the great er part of President Taft’s appointments. With more than 2,000 appointments be fore the senate, Democrats declined to permit action on ;the great majority, and the result will be that President Wilson will fill the places after he comes into office. This factional struggle, coupled with the interna] Democratic contest for the organization and control of senate and house under the new administration, injected the political equation into the last session’s work to an unusual de gree. Several bills that might have be come Jaw in the closing days of this session have been held back because Democratic leaders preferred to have the subjects carried over until a Demo cratic president, senate and house can have opportunity to carry out definite legislative programs. SESSION’S WORK; Important actions in the short session just closing include: “Literary test” immigration bill pass ed, but vetoed by President Taft. Single six-year presidential term amendment passed by senate. Life prisoners in federal prisons made eligible to parole. Five-year closed season for fur-seals incorporated in the international seal treaty. » Federal control of water powers de feated in the senate. Manufacturers of fdods required to state the net weight and contents on outside of food package. Government authorized by law to seize trust-controlled goods as soon as imported into the ‘United Stales. Lincoln memorial authorized to cost $2,000,000. The Democratic majority that took control of the house when the congress organized insisted on going ahead with other features of tariff revision, and passed wool, cotton free list and some other bills. All three measures with the aid of the Progressive Republican forces in the senate reached President Taft. They were vetoed on the ground that tins tariff board was conducting investigations, the results of- which must be known before a proper revi sion of the tariff could be made. Legislative work thaoughout the special session, and the long session beginning in December, 1911, and run ning through last August, included the following: Increase in the size of the house of (Continued on Page Three, Col. 3.)

In preparation for the suffragist parade this afternoon and the inaugural procession tomorrow, the police have completed their plans for keeping clear th© route of march from Peace monument to the Whits House. Stout ropes will prevent sight seers from cowding into the thorough fare and they must needs be stout, for the national capitol rarely has seen such crowds.
