reply was marked. by great feeling and
vigorous utterances. In his denunciation
OF the policy Of Mr.. Cleveland and his
characterization of the deposed queen he
used the strongest possible terms, fire.
quently eliciting the applause Of his Re
publican colleagues. He had not con-
cluded his speech when the house ad-
Jourred. The resolution which forms the
basis of the present discussion is that
of McCreary, condemning the acts Of Min
lister Stevens and approving the policy of
the president, at the same time express
ing the sense of the house that the an
nexation Of the Hawaiian islands 10 in
expediert. For this the Republicans have
offered the. minority report approving of
Minister Stevens acts and condemning
the acts Of the present administration.
In the course of the proceedings to-day
MI. Blaire of New Hampshire offered, in
the shape of al amendment, Q resolution
in favor of the annexation of the Hawa-
iiln islands.
The day in the senate was not an
eveptful one. After an hours debate in
the session the resolution Of Senator
PETER was adopted calling upon the sec
rotary of the treasury for the names Of
persons and corporations bidding for
United States bonds and the amount Of
bids and the rate of interest. The orig
inal resolution of Senator Stewart de-
nying the authority of the secretary of
the treasury to issue bonds at this time
was then taken up and consumed the re-
mainder Of the day, Senator Villas making
the principal argument in opposition to
the resolution. The senate adjourned
without action on the resolution.
Washington, Feb. 5.-The senate again
took up the federal elections bill to the
exclusion Of everything else except the
routine morning business, which will in
clude only the introduction of bills
and the presentation of reports and
petitions. The senate has agreed that
the discussion of the bond resolution of
Senator Stewart which under ordinary
circumstances would have right of way
mp to = o'clock Of each day until disposed
OF, shall &c over to permit the uninter-
rupted continuation of the debate on
the elections bill, upon which the vote
will be taken tomorrow afternoon. The
agreement provides that the senate shall
sit Tuesday until this measure is dis
posed of, and in all probability it will
be observed. 1t is possible that the
Hawaiian resolution introduced by
Senator Turpie, from the foreign re-
lations committee. or the house resolution
on the same subject which will probably
reach the senate during the week, will
receive a degree of attention, but it is
hardly probable that much, if any time
will be given it because of the other
subjects pressing for attention.
The Hawaiian depate was resumed in
the house to-day by an arrangement
agreed upon just before the house ad-
journed Saturday night, the Hawaiian
debate is to be extended until $3.50
Tuesday, the special order for its con
sideration being modified so as to in
clude u provision for a vote upon the
Boutelle resolution as will as the Nc.
Creary and Hit resolution. The ex-
tension of the time will serve the purpose
OF definitely %disposing Of Hawaii in the
house, inasmuch al on Tuesday, had the
order not been modified, it was MI.
Boutelle's intention to come to the front
with his resolution. AS it was q privileg.
ed question it could not have been
put aside and might have resulted in
additional complications, SO that the
Democratic leaders concluded last night
that the shortest way out of the difficulty
would be to agree to a compromise. As
yet no Democratic member has broken
over party lines on the Hawaiian matter
as far as debate is concerned and it
seems likely that the McCreary resolu-
ton will pase by practically a strict party
vote. Mr.. Holman, however, is still bent
upon offering his resolution condemning
the action of Mr.. Stevens, but at the
same time %reprobating the course of the
administration in. attempting the re.
storation of the deposed queen. How
much Democratic strength, if any,, this
resolution will command is still
