WASHINGTON. D. C. March 31 Although there will be an insurg ent fight in the senate between now nnd tbo end of the present session of congress, there will be no fire works, snch as. accompanied the re cent uprising in the house agauibi the rales. Thus is the state of nf fnirs according to statements oi senate leaders today. In the senate the insurgent fight will bo brought oat when administra tion measures are up for discussion. Theso measures, supposed to repre sent the platform ideas of tho Re publicans, will be attacked by the in surgent senators in debate, and they will fight hotly for such changes as thoy think necessary to make them nearer their idea of what has been promised tho people. The progressives in the senate have the same inspiration for war fare as thoso in the hoase, but con ditions in the senate are not such as call for the mode of warfare waged by the representatives. Thero is no issue regarding rules. The influence thnt controls the senate is moro sub tle and not so clearly concentratized as Canon's power in the honse, there fore the fight will be made ns an at tack on reactionary measures. While the Democratic representa tives stood solidly in lino with Re publican insurgents to bring about revolution in the house, nothing of the sort could be accomplished, oven if there wan occasion for such a combination in tho senate. Those who are familiar with sen ate affairs declaro that in the event of n close voto on an Aldrich meas uro, Aldrich could probably summon some Democratic votes. The fisurg ents, they sny, could not. No organization has been perfect' cd by the sennto progressives and no effort has been made to ngreo on a program. The progressives in the sennto differ so in their views that it would bo impossible to ngreo on a program. The future fights of the insurgents in the sennte will be mado along tho same lines ns tho60 so for conduct ed. The first wns on the postal sav ings bank bill, nnd was successful.
