INSURGENTS WILL FIGURE With Kxccptlon of Two or Thre Radicals, . " Progress ve" Are Expected to Lino Vp With Reg ulars Agulnst Democrats. OREXXN'IAN NEWS BtTREATT. Washing-ton, April 2. The Republican ma jority in the new Senate will operate under an entirely new organization, which will be perfected In party cau cus soon after Congress assembles on Tuesday. The old leaders have passed out of public life: the brains of the old organisation, went with them, and those who remain of the Aid rich ma chine are not of such caliber as la ex pected and demanded of party leaders. A new chairman of the Republican caucus must be chosen when the cau cus assembles, for Senator Hale, the old cbalrmant Is no longer a member of the Senate. Either Senator Gal-llng-er of New Hampshire, or Eenator Cullom of Illinois will be given this honor, but whichever one ls chosen will be merely a presiding- officer, de void of the power that went to Senator Hale: he will not be recognised as a party leader in any sense of the word. The chairman chosen, the caucus will proceed to select what Is known aa the "steering- committee. an un listed and unofficial committee that In general directs the programme of ths Senate. Five members of the old steering committee have been elimi nated. Senator Hale was chairman of the last steering committee, and with him were Senators Aldrlch, Kean. Beverldge and Klklna. Death called Klklns. and ths others were removed by their respective state Legislatures. Callom and Perkins Feeble. The five remslnlng members of the old steering committees. Senators Cul lom. Lodge. Perkins. , Nelson and Nixon, remain, but not all are likely to remain on the committee. Senator Cullom and Senator Perkins have grown very feeble of late, and are not capable of taking on any extra duties. Therefore It Is probable that at least seven new members of this committee will be chosen, and among: them will be progressives. It ls ths expectation that all. or nearly all the progreslve" Senators will go Into the Republican caucus, and unite with the regulars In forming an organisation to oppose the Demo cratic minority. There Is a possibility that Senator La Follette of Wisconsin. Senator Pnlndexter of Washington and Senator Biistow of Kansas msy refuse to enter, for they are the Intensely radical Insurgents who frequently pre fer Democracy to any form of Repub licanism except their own. It ls be lieved they will not feel bound by any action that may be taken by a Repub lican caucus. La Follette broke away In the last Senate, and Polndexter re fused to attend mint of the Republican caucuses of the House. Without them, however, the Repub lican caucus will represent a majority of the entire Senate, and can run the Senate so long aa there li no general breaking; away of Insurgents. Such a break ls likely to occur during the consideration of the tariff, however. and at that time there will be no cau cus action, nor will there be any at tempt to force Senators to abide by caucus action. This much of a con cession will have to be made to the Insurgents In order to get them Into the caucus on other matters. Two Vacancies Threaten. Unless the Colorado and .Iowa Leg islatures elect, there will be two va cancies In the new Senate, meaning; a loss to the Democrats In Colorado and to the Republicans In Iowa. There will be 40 Democrats and 49 Republi cans, a narrow margin, and an unsafe one from the Republican standpoint, for with 14 insurgents In the Senate thst faction holds the balance of power and both the Democrats and the ma Jority of the Republicans wlU.be anx ious for an alliance. Thua far the Insurgents have rejected the advances and proposals of the Demo cratic leaders of the Senate, and nave refused to enter Into an alliance, main talnlng that primarily they are Republl car, This is taken as an Indication that most of the Insurgents will go Into Republican caucus, and will undertake to join with the regulars In perfecting a Republican organization, with the under standing, of bourse, that the Insurgents are to be accorded fair treatment, and are to be recognized on the steering committee, and in other places ot in fluence. The regulars appear to be In a mood to accept this proposal, and the expectation ls thst the caucus will select a steering committee made up of Sena tors of both factions, snd that some of the Insurgents will be listed among the recognized leaders of the next Senate. When It comes to the tariff, however, no caucus action can be binding. It was demonstrated at the last session that both factions are split on this issue, and some of the insurgents are as pro nounced In the opposition to the Cana dlan agreement as are the most deter mined opponents afnong the regulars. The agreement, or course, will ultimately be ratified by Congress, and It ls also believed there are enough vote In the Senate to make reductions In the woolen cottonf steel and some other schedules oi tne x'ayne-Aiancn law. Agreement Is Ukcly. In all other matters; however, and especially party and administration leg islation, there la very fair prospect that the caucus will be able to agree upon a programme that will receive the sup. port of the Republican majority, for It Is the desire of most Republican Sena tors that both regulars and Insurgents shall have full opportunity to be heard In the caucus, jid caucus action Is likely to be In the nature of a com promise, whenever there Is a difference of opinion between the two factions. Anything short ot such a compromise ill prove disastrous to the Republican Administration, for a divided party In the Senate would give control of both branches of Congress to the Democrats, and the President would be forced to veto sJt legislation which failed to re ceive the indorsement of Republicans generally. The Insurgents will have greater roc. ognltlon In the next Senate than ever before, and on this understanding, most of them are expected to assume a less radical attitude than that of Messrs. La Follette and Polndexter. These two, with the possible exception of Brie tow, msy remain outside the fold throughout the Cd Congress, for ' there ls no Re publican caucus that would go to the extent they would have It, in order to enlist their oo-op ration. 4 TUSCOONTBY LINES HEAD WEST XEW STATTOV OPEXS MAX 1 Postofflce Branch vTflll Be Located at Williams Ave. and Beech St. OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington.

OFFICIAL TELLS PLANS Great Northern to Invade Califor nia; Western Pacific to Have Portland Terminus Whole Coast to Be Benefited. LOS ANGELES. CaL. April 2. (Spe cial.) Four great transcontinental railroad systems are planning to start work Immediately on extensions that will tap the great country west of the Rockies, and throw open the doors of the Western Coast to direct communi cation with at least three-quarters of the railroad trackage of the entire country. This Information came from an of ficial of the Hill roads, now In this city, who declined to allow his name to be used. In support of his state ment he said: Hill Forces at Work. '"James J. Hill ls planning to invade caiirornia, so long claimed by the In terests that the late E. H. Harrlman represented, and already his forces are building the line that ls to connect the Great Northern system at the Oregon boundary with San Francisco and thence through the San Joaquin Valley to Los Angeles. "When the Gould interests started to put a through line under one manage ment from the Atlantic to the Pacific It was a part of the plan to have im portant terminals at the western end. one at San Francisco and the other at Los Angeles, with the third at Port land. "The first terminal has been attained. and plans are perfecting; for a short line tapping the Western Pacific main line at Shafter. and having for its western terminus this city and the Ore gon metropolis. Rock Island Planning. Ihe long-delayed project Involving: the extension of the Rock Island sys tem to the pacific Coast has been re vived, and before the end of the year actual work on the link-that will give the great system a through line under its own management from Chicago. St. Paul. Minneapolis and St, Louis to this coast will have commenced. "There are positive Indications con firming the announcement made by B. F. Yoakum, chairman of the board of directors of the St. Louis & San Fran cisco Railroad, a few weeks ago. to the effect that plans are about com pleted for the actual construction of the extension of that system from Quanab. Texas, to Los Angeles. "The possibility of a link between the western end of the great system controlled by Hill and the Gulf of Mexico will give Immense advantage to the wnoie coast.
