Washington, Feb, 2.-The galleries of
The senate were crowded, but the throng
Of visitors was probably the overflow at
tracteG by the great tariff debate in the
house. Several resolutions and memorials
IN opposition to the administration poll
cy We're introduced. The principal
| speeches Of the day were made by Sen
ator Stewart and Senator Allison. both
| of whom cOntended that tue secretary Of
| the treasury had no power to issue
| bonds for other purposes than redemption,
and that it would be n violation of law
| for the secretary. Of the treasury to use
| the money thus accruing for the purpose
| Of meeting current expenses. Senator
Dubois Rcp. Idaho) said ne could not
vote for Senator Stewards resolution be-
cause it denied the power of the secretary
| TO issue bonds for any purpose.
| Washington, Feb. 3.-The debate on
the Hawaiian matter began in the house
under a special order which will bring it
to a vote next Monday at 4 o'clock. The
adoption of the order was preceded by a
very lively passage at arms between Mr..
Boutelle and Mr.. Gatherings of Missis-
J sippi, IL member of the committee OH
rules, which resulted in two attempts
made by the former to have the words
of the latter excepted to by the house
and subject him to censure.
Only two speeches We're made to-day,
the first by Mr.. McCreary, which was
the opening argument in support of the
resolution under discussion. and which
consisted of very critical and analyt
zeal review of the entire situation from
the first inception of the revolution early
in 1892, to it's contamination in January
1893. 1t was in every respect a strong
arraignment Of the action of Minister
Stevens who was boldly charged will
completely in the alleged plot to over
throw the existing monarchy. Mr.. Hit!
reply was marked by great feeling ant
vigorous utterances. In his denunciatio1
of the policy of Mr.. Cleveland and hi
characterization,o the deposed queen h
used the strongest possible terms, fire
quently eliciting the applause OF his Re
publican colleagues. He had not con
Guided his speech when the house ad
jourred. The resolution which forms tn
basis Of the present discussion Is tina
of McCreary, condemning the acts of Min
lister Stevens and approving the policy o
the president, ut the same time express
ing the sense of the house that the ar

, expedient. For this the Republicans hav

Minister Stevens acts and condemnin
