Washington, March 21.—Greatly re- freshed and prepared for strenuous ex- | ecutive activity before congress con- venes in’extraordinary session - April 4, President Taft returned from his ten days’ vacation at Augusta, Ga. The president, accompanied by Mrs. Taft and Secretary Norton, arrived in ‘Washington at 9 o’clock on the South- eastern limited of the Southern rail- way and went direct to the White House. The Mexican sitwation was the first subpect of importance to engage the Dpresident’s attention, there having ac- cumulated a considerable correspond- ence in the matter since his departure. | Soon after his' return to the White House the president had a number of cabinet conferences. The first of these was with the secretary of war. Mr. Dickinson reported to the president that the army division sent to Texas and California had arrived in splendid condition and the troops had demon- | strated their ability to be ready for | any emergency. To Remain at San Antonio. At present there is no thought of breaking the big camp at San Antonio. The secretary of war .was in com- | munication with General Carter on ,that subject during the morning. Va- rwus organizations will be sent out |on practice marches from time to ‘tlme and for maneuvers in the field, | but no general forward' movement has been ordered or is contemplated at this time. { President Taft later held a confer- |ence with the Mexican ambassador, Senor de la Barra, at the latter's re- quest. Thé president will take up the prep- aration of his message to congress, re- submitting the Canadian reciprocity agreement. He expects to confer im- mediately with leaders of both parties regarding the work of the special ses- sion, it being his desire that the Ca- nadian reciprocity agreement be rati- fied and the tariff board bill be passed. That, it is declared, is all the president wants done at the special session. He would prefer that congress defer any revision of tariff schedules until the regular session next December.
