Washington, Jan. 2. Two-third of th United Bute senate will come up lor re-election within the next three yean, and ol thi total iit are Republi cans. This taut ia likely io have con siderable Influence upon the ultimate laud taken thi winter by tbe senate on measures advocated hy the president and endorsed by the people. It does not necessarily mean that the senate will fall In line and follow the lead of tha president, but It Miint to such ac tion, and the wise observers, after studying the situation, think they can see the senate supporting the president on the large ietue uow up tor consid sration. During th first week ot the reeaion It looked very much at it th senate wonld take issue with the president on many important questions ol legis lation. There were unpleasant words regarding lbs Panama canal; there were murmuring about the presi dent's course regarding Kanto Domin go; and behind it all C insider able private comment upou the president's railroad rate policy as outlined in bit message. Many senators have reached lbs conclusion that the president is recklessly usurping the powers ol con gress to some extent, and they have dis played evidence ol ugliness on thai ac count. : For a time it looked a it-there would be revolt. But will there be? Rather, will not th sens I e (all in line and follow the lead ol the president? It Is a serious thing lor the parly in power to break with It president, and tucb a move I more apt to injure those senatora and representative ol th Insurgent class than it ia to injure the president. What ia more, the party in power inurt suffer trom any such revolt. These things are being carefully weighed, and there are those who now predict that there will be no break lietween congress and the president, unless il may be on the mil road rate Issue, and even ou that Issue a compromise is more likely than an open rupture.
