Vashlngton, Sept. 9, The fonsi tv of.tlie situation aloui the Mexi can .border was reflected liv the con tuiUBtion of preparation!! tor anv emergency, principally possibility of President Taft railing a special ses sion of congress to par.s upon the. question of intervention. Wit.li the border patrols strengthened by ad ditional cavalry and other troops practically upon their arms at. posts throughout the west ready to move at. an hour's notice to (supplement the forces on the Arizona and New Mexico frontier the war depart mem otllcials felt they had the situation well In hand for the present, but were apprehensive of the next move of the rebel general, Salazar, en camped within sight of the United States troops, protesting that he meant no harm, but believed to be planning another raid Into Ameri can territory. Reports of another revolt in South ern Mexico did not command much Interest. The situation In which the United States is most concerned is along the border. It is known that the government has been pressed on many sides to intervene and various accounts of vWhat influences were being bfousht to bear and the objects sought to t accomplished are related anion:; those Interested on both sides of the question. President Taft and the state de partment, however, are holding to the principle, that no such action should he taken- without authonza tion of congress. That American soldiers have been sent into China without authorization of congress is held not to be a precedent for send iiiK troops to Mexico. In China American missionaries were bosieg- ed and in danger of torture and death. In Nicaragua the rebels had shelled the American legation ami endangering the lives ol American citizens bv bombarding an untorti lied city in violation of the rules ot international law. No such situa tion has been reported in Mexico.

Representative Burleson, of Texas, cliairman ol the speakers' bureau, unrt Senator Ciore, chairman of Hie organization committee, came here from Maine, where they have been stumping. They discussed with the governor further speaking plans.
