WASHrNGTON. April J. Although
th Ternr-Tat f th House, by W
Hal caurua action, hav declared a par
po to enact tariff legislation during
th extra session of Conaresa. beam
Bin Tuesday noon, th prediction wa
mad freely tonight that no such leg
islation can b put through th Senat
at this tlma. and that tha ertra ses
Ion will adjourn earlier than haa ban
axpactad generally.
fiantlmant among tha regular Repub
licans tn tha Senat la overwhelmingly
a rain at any aort of tariff revision at
tha extra session. And thar ara mul
tiplying avldancaa that tha regular Re
publican ara dlapoaed to do all thar
can to placata tha progrlv7 wins
f tha party. Without tha a up port of
tha "proirraaalTaa," tha Pemoerata can
not poaalMy rat any tariff bill through
tha appa' braacA of Congress.
Regulars Are rKie-rmlned.
ika matters stand today. It la appar
at that tha raarular Republlcana of
tha Sonata will do everything In thalr
powar to postpone all mattara of rn
ral legislation antll tha regular -loa
BI reanbar. It la reported that
a a amber of "prsrrlv Republican
are likely to fall In' with this Idea.
Tha IeniocraUo Hons leadera to
alaht Indicated that they would go
ahead with thetr programme tn the
Ttooae. resardleaa of the probable fate
of their measure) tn the Senate, until
orb a time aa tha fenate clearly dem
onstrated that It would glv no consid
eration to ireneral legislation during
' the extra sesalon.
On tha other hand. It la aald rfcat
soma of tha reniorratle membera of
tha Senate ara strongly to faror of
waiting until tha regular session con
venes before rev la I n the tariff.
They declare that the Republicans al
ready hare passed big appropriation
Mlaa for tba next fiscal year and that
revenue must be tsUmh! to meet them.
Tearing the regular session, the taii(I
could be rerlsed and the new appropria
te bins scaled down accordingly.
President Taft. by sending In a mes
sage dealing with Canadian reciprocity
alone. wtll pave tha way for tha pro
(Tamim which the Senate Republlcana
propose to adopt at a caucus to be held
probably on Tuesday afternoon.
Insurgents Are Swayed.
Tha promise made by President Taft
that the tariff board would b ready
with a apecial report on the textile
schedule by December 1. and the hop he
haa espreased Informally that Congreaa
would deride to wait for this report be
fore acting on these schedules, makes
the situation a little more difficult for
the temocrata In that the Insurgent vote
la tha Senate Is likely to be won over
to the President's proposition.
The Republican Insurgents regard tha
tariff board Idea as of their own crea
tion. They hare advocated It as a
srienttflc method of revising the tariff.
President Taft haa worked hard to se
cure legislation making the tariff board
permanent, and may send In a second
message to tn extra session dealing
with this subject.
It Is pointed out tonight that with
report on the cotton and wool schedules
promised by Democrats, the tnaurgent
Republicans will not atultiry themselves
by voting for House bills amending
t'.iese schedules without regard to the
tariff board. Thar Is little doubt that
consideration of the reciprocity measure
will occupy many weeks of tha Sonata's
time. It Is argued, therefore, that It
will be late In June before conaideratlon
can be given fn the Senate to a House
bill dealing even with one schedule of
the rayne-AMrlch laa.
Minor Matters Approved.
Trere as said to be no disposition on
the part of the. Senate Republicans to
block legislation of comparatively minor
Importance at the extra aesslon. For In
stance, there is likely to be considerable
legislation for the District of Columbia,
the affairs of tha capital having been
wholly neglected duMng the last regular
sessioa-
But when it romea to mstterw affecting
the tariff and other matters on wblca
the debate would be well nigh Inter
minable, the regular Republican say
they will draw the line and they be
I'eve the -progressives" eh: set with
them la doing so.
Tha extra session Is expected to wit
ness therefore a closer relationship be
tween the regular and Insurgent Repub
licans than has been apparent at any
time sines the latter form of Republican
ism sprang into being. Tha danger of
Democratic power la expected to weld
the .faction together for the perpetua
tion of Republican dominant. in tUa

SNOW 18 PRKMCTED OVER THE

WASHINGTON. April 2. The week
will open with snows over the North
west and anowa and rains over the
great central valleys and the upper
lakes regions, extending by Monday
night or Tuesday into the Middle At
lantic Statea and New England, an
nounced the Weather Bureau tonight.
Tha weather also will be unsettled
- Monday In the Southeast, with show

day Into the Middle Gulf States. Fair
weather will prevail after Wednea
day over -the eastern portion of the
country snd In the West It will be
generally fair sfter Tuesdsy.
An extensive srea of high pressure,
with temperatures ranging from 24 to
80 degrees below sero. covers Alaska.
Indicating that temperatures during
the coming week will continue low
for the sesson over the greater por
tion of th country, except probably
th South Atlantic States.
CHICAGO, April 2. (Special.) Chi
cago and the Great Lakes region, which
bade Winter an effective f area-ell sev
eral days afro and packed its furs In
moth balls, received a terrific shock
this morning when people awoke to
find five Inches of snow over every
thing and a mild sort of blizzard still
piling up "the beautiful."
The snow was of the very wet va
riety, which' broke down telegraph
poles and telephone wires, clogged rail
road tracks and switch yards, sent the
poor scurrying to charitable societies
and sent In rush orders to replenish
empty coal bins.
Iloads Are Hampered.
In country districts. It was reported
the snow fell to a depth of seven Inches
and that all transportation was badly
hampered. Farmers rejoice over tha
belated blizzard and say it will be of
great benefit to wheat and other crops.
In the fruit districts, however, it Is
feared that this and other storms have
done vast damage to buds which were
lured out by the unusually warm
weather of a month ago. t
Reports from the South are that fruit
in the Gulf Coast belt, which was far
advanced, has been badly, damaged by
the frosty "weather of a few days ago.
Republicans Are Worried.
Flection managers immediately took
stock of the storm, as the heavy going
usually means a reduced Republican
vote. Democrats tonight say if the
snow remains until Tuesday, it will
cut ten thousand off the Republican
vote, as that many "aristocrats" will
hesitate to get their fret damp in order
to exercise their franchise.
In the city the JUnusual snowfall
means employment for thousands of
men for at least two days.
It also spells misery for other thou-

Elbert Hubbard Picks California
Tract for Colony.
LOS ANGELES. Cal., April 2. (Spe
eial.) New Tork haa its East Aurora
and Elbert Hubbard is its prophet
California is likely to have Its West
Aurora, and the Roycroft sage is to be
Its head if Hubbard works out certain
plans he now has in contemplation
which he says require only . a short
time.
Hubbard will, finish his theatrical en
gagement tonight, tie will leave to
morrow on the first train for East Au
rora, and will-take along the option on
a tract north of Duarte. in the foot'
hills, whereon he expects, before snow
flies again In the East, to have made
a long start toward his West Aurora
project.
This land is good for oranges and
lemons, as it- once formed 'part of old
"Luoky" Baldwin's 60,000-acre ranch in
San Gabriel Valley, about 14 miles from
Los Angeles. It Is on the regular
route of tourist excursions and Hub
bard evidently expects to have many
visitors should he form a second Au
rora colony here. He was greatly im
pressed with golden oranges on tree
