INSURGENTS GAIN
POINT IN SENATE
Regulars Forced to Agree on
Reference of Fur Seal
Question.

Insurgency is afoot in the Senate as
we'll as in the House.
By the force Of numbers the insurgent
elements in the Senate today compelled
the regulars to yield on the question Of
what committee should have charge OF
legislation relating TO the fur seal ques-
ton ana the Presidents message on
that question
The legislation proposed fs to revoke
the mandatory section OF existing law
that cOmpels the Secretary Of CONNER e
and Labor to make an annual CONTRACT
with the North American Commercial
Company for the sealing privilege OF
the PriblyOf Islands. The old-timerS =
the Senate did not want TO revoke In$
privilege. They wanted the Foreign Re
latiOns Comnittee TO have charge or the
matter.
In other quarters there was tnSlSten
demand that the message and the bll
founded On IL go 10 the new COMMITTEES
on Conservation. of which Senator
DiNoI is the head. For two hours Fri
day there was fight over it. Then tnt
matter went over until today.
Finding they were beaten, the regulal
( leaders gave way. On the floor Today
Senator CullOm consented TO allow tn

atOr Dixon's committee TO so TO th'

found that a number OF Senators OF

lust as the Democrats have stood like a

movement which reached its climax last
Saturday.
Caucus to Be Called Soon.
The House situation has by no means
cleared. up. Those who expected that
after the storm Of last week there would
be clear skies are disappointed. Bitter
ness has not given way. The feeling
is strong in many quarters that there
are TO be other and frequent clashes
in the near future.
Everyone recognizes that the speech
Of Uncle joe at the banquet Of the
Illinois Republican Association Satur-
day night has had an unhappy effect
peace is concerned. II has angered
many Of the insurgents who voted
against ouSting the Speaker from OF
flee. The Speaker declared the ins lr-
gents who did not vote to throw him
out of the chair did not have the cour-
age Of their convictions. He taunted
them with cOWardiCe.
Inasmuch as many of the insurgents
by their votes on the Speakership want
Cd to emphasize the fact they were not
attacking the Speaker personally, but
We're trying only to rid the House Of
an obnoxious rules system, they feel
the taunts of the Speaker keenly.
Not a Few of the leaders among the
regulars deplOre the speech Of Speaker
Cannon.
All sorts of opinions are expressed as
to the political effect Of the recent
struggle. Democrats generally believe
il will strengthen them They contend
the issue OF Cannonism will be before
the country as prominent as ever.
Factions May Unite.
-
say this Is the beginning Of better re-
latiOns between the wings OF the Re
publican party and that they will now
unite On a legislative program and go
into the campaign In good shape.
Some insurgents fear they will suffer
I'm their districts because they did not
vote to drive the Speaker from his seat
Some of the more bitter Of the regu-
lars make ii plain they believe the next
House will be Democratic and that they
do not care.
One of the plans which the more un-
yieldin-, of the regular leaders had in
mind Saturday was. if Cannon was un-
seated, 20 let Champ Clark he elected
Speaker Then, they reasoned, there
would come chaos In the House. The
insurgents would be blamed, they fg-
ured. Then Roosevelt would be urged,
as a party man, 10 get out into the
Congressional campaign and help the
regulars IN struggle 10 crush Ine IN
surgeuJs and enable the old regime TO
keep its grip. Astonishing as such a
program sounds, il was tai-ed serious
iy the end Of last week in high councils
Of the regulars.
Democrats Not United.
There is just one thing liable 10 cause

element still dispiaased with the man
