OREGONTAN NEWS BUREAU! Wash
ington. Feb. 4. The narrow margin by
which the Democrats will control the
next Senate and it yet remains to be
determined fully how narrow that mar
Bin will be is causing considerable un
easiness among the party leaders and
especially the men who will be entrust
ed with leadership in the Senate after
March 4. Until the Senatorial elections
are all held it will not be known defi
nitely Just how the new Senate will be
constituted, bnt at best the Democrats
can hope for a majority no greater
than three.
No matter what the final majority
tuns out to be, it will be too small for
safe sailing and too small to perimt of
factional quarrels in the party. Yet
It happens that the Democrats of the
Senate today are on the verge of a fac
tional 'split fraught with as much dan
ger to the party as was the factional
split In the Republican party prior to
the November election the split that
did more than anything else to bring
about Republican defeat in November.
Pragrraalvu Dominate Cnticm.
There are in the Democratic party
today two distinct factions, the pro
gressives and the conservatives. Nu
merically the progressives will domi
nate the Senate caucus, and probably
outnumber the other faction by six or
eight votes. But the conservative fac
tion, by reason of the longer service of
most of its members, has an advantage
lacked by the newer and more aggress
ive Democratic Senators; they are al
ready well placed on committees: they
know legislative methods and legisla
tive trickery and, what is quite as Im
portant, they have built up friendships
on the Republican side of the Senate
which will stand them in good stead in
the promotion of certain sorts of leg
islation. For the Senate In many re
spects resembles a club, and friendship
goes a long ways in making a Senator
influential.
But personal friendships of this sort
will not help when it comes to partisan
legislation, such as tariff revision, 'or
on the question of Senate organization.
The Democrats must work out these
policies largely within their own party,
and. because of the narrow margin, will
be compelled to compromise or else
share the credit and responsibility with
Republicans, and this they do not want
to do at the outset of the first Demo
cratic administration in 16 years.
Compromise Is Essential.
Because of this necessity for com
promise little has been determined as
yet either as to the organization of
the next Senate or as to the tariff and
other legislative policies to be fol
lowed. The progressive Democrats
have served notice on the conservatives
that certain things must be done or
they will rebel. By the same token,
the conservatives can put forth an ul
timatum of their own. with a like
threat, and the progressives will not
have enough votes to force the adop
tion of their plan. The only possible
way to secure Democratic action Is
through compromise, and that is what
is bound to follow. It will not come
Immediately, as the progressives, while
in the majority in caucus, do not care
this early to acknowledge that they
are not to have their own way, and the
conservatives, knowing they must yield
to some extent, are holding off that day
as long as possible, and also holding
to the bes"t Democratic committee
places in the Senate.
Senate organization will precede leg
islation, and that will be the first com
promise effected. Recently, the pro
gressives served notice that they would
consent that each of the older Sena
tors retain the committee chairman
ship to which he would be eligible un
der the rule of seniority, but would de
mand that they give up membership on
all other important committees as the
price for the chairmanship. The older
Senators, most of whom are conserva
tive, do not intend to accede to this de
mand, yet they cannot hold all the good
places they now have and acquire chair-
manships In addition, unless the ma
jority of the caucus is with them.
Protection Democrat Will Figure.
After organization will come tariff
legislation, and there the Democratic
party will next feel the danger of a
slight majority In the Senate. This will
be true not so much because of fac
tional differences as because there are
a few protectionist Democrats In the
Senate and a few more coming. Take
sugar, for instance. The two Senators
from Louisiana and the two from Colo
rado will not vote for free sugar,
though the House is likely to pass a
free-sugar bill. Those four Senators
alone can prevent the passage of a free
sugar bill through the Senate and force
the House to compromise on a reduc
tion of the duty on lumber. When It
comes to the metal schedule, the Sen
ators from Colorado and Missouri and
possibly Alabama will object to placing
certain metals on the free list, and
when that number of Senators Join
with the Republicans they can control
the situation and force a compromise.
" The same Is true with regard to lum
ber, and half a dozen other Important
commodities produced partly in states
that are or will be represented by Dem
ocratic Senators.
There will be times when insurgent
Republicans or Bull Moose Senators
will join with the majority of the Dem
ocrats on certain tariff schedules, but
It is doubtful if they will join them to
pass a free-sugar bill, and also doubt-fi-1
if they will co-operate In passing a
free-metal bill. The only theory upon
which 'these men might join the major
ity of the Democrats would be to en-
al.!e them to place certain commodities.
on the free list. In the hope or expecta
tion that such a change would operate
to tne disadvantage of the Democratic
party In the states affected by those
particular schedules.
Free-Traders) Will Be Eanbarraaaeil.
It is still true that the Insurgent Re
publicans and those who have turned
Bull Moose have repeatedly declared
tneir belief In protection, though less
protection than the Payne-Aldrich law
affords, and it is much doubted if many
oi mem wouia join the Democrats I
placing anything except lumber on the
free list. There may be a tew votes,
other than Democratic votes, in favor
of free lumber,, and it remains to be
een whether there are enough protec
.ion uemocrats favoring a duty on
'umber to make it impossible to push
a free-lumber bill through the Senate.
hen It comes to sugar, metals, etc.
it Is to be doubted whether those com
modules can be free-listed by the next
Senate. Hence the embarrassment of
the free-trade Democrats, who are de
slrous of making as great a reduction
- as possible la the existing tariff laws.

Madame Marcella Sembrich, colora

and Gutia Caslni, cellist, make a re
markable trio in tne musically amain;
line. They apppeared in concert at
the Heilig Theater last night and more
than pleased the large audience that
attended, in fact they about owned that
audience. Judging from tne sieaay
volume of applause. The concert was
one of the Lois Steers-Wynn Coman
series.
Of course Sembrich was tne partic

Tn first facing her audience Sem
brich smiled and dimpled with much
personal charm and it is a pity she
does not wear this easy, , pleasea ex

Sembrich sang the aencate songs
best and Invested them with the stmp
of sincerity, especially the songs
chosen from Schubert, Schumann and
Grieg. The French songs were quite
successful and her rendition of the two
La Forge songs was received with glad
enuthusiasm. The Strauss-La JTorge
arrrangement of the valse, "Storielle
del Bosco V lennese," Is quite bewitch
ing in beauty and formed a fitting
finale. Sembrich's encores were: "My
Lovely Celie" (Monroe), "Lately in

from Offenbach's "Tales of Hoffman,
"Comin" Through the Rye" (Old
Scotch) and "The Maiden's Wish'

Accompanist. Are Talented.
Mr. La Forge is quite a favorite in
this city, not only as an artistic ac
companist, but as skillful pianist and
composer. Last' night he played as
accompanist, from memory, and only
trained musicians know what this mu
sical feat means. He invested all he
did at the piano keyboard with artic
tic personality and is one of the best
piano accompanists anywhere. His
two piano solas, "Romance" and
"Valse de Concert," are decidedly meri.
torlous.
Mr. Caslnl, 17 years old, from Wllna,
Russia, is quite talented as a 'cello
nlaver. He brings out exquisite mu
sic from his 'cello and plays with fine
.finish and lovely tone: His ability is
great, for one so young, and he has in
him the promise or oeing a Dig artist.
One of the encores he accepted was
"The Swan" (Saint Saens). Mr. La
Forge's encore number was "Etude de

arrived too late from Seattle.
It is to be hoped that the silly prac
