MORE ANIMATED SPEECHES.

The Hawaiian Question Comes Up In
the senate.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-The week in
the senate opened with the renewal Of
the discussion of the Hawaiian ques.
ton, which promises to become the sub.
ject of several more very animated
speeches before it shall be definitely and
finally disposed of. The adoption of
the Vest amendments, the Allen reso.
luton instead Of disoouragiug the an.
tagonists of the administration has ap.
parently had the effect of squirting
them to even more strenuous and pro.
nounced opposition. They express
themselves as hopeful of reversing the
verdict of Saturday when the next vote
shall be reached, which shall be on the
final adoption of the substitute. Sena-
tor Teller inaugurated the discussion
for the week with a continuance of his
speech began s urday.
The Hawaiian question will be CON
tinued " the two first hours of the ses.
slons each day, and will at the expira.
tion of this time give way to other sub.
jects. The bankruptcy bill has been
given the position of unfinished bust
ness and will occupy attention for the
greater part of the week Senator
George will inaugurate the debate with
o speech some time today. He expects
the measure to encounter very pro-
nounced opposition, and in this will not
be disappointed, as majority of the
eastern and northern senators will be
found to be against the bill. When the
bill is disposed of in whatever way, the
senate will probably proceed to consider
hiot between this and the territorial ad-
mission bills should occur, a majority
Of the Republican senators would sup.
port the faction favorable TO taking up
the pooling bill and would probably
turn the tables in its favor.
