ATTACK TO Be RENEWED
CIeVeIand's Antagonists Ready
with Hawaiian Crane Shot.
HOPE TO REVERSE THE VOTE
Bankruptcy Bill Has the Right of Way in
the Senate, but May Be Displaced by APP
preparation Measures-sugar Talk Nay
Interfere with District Business in the
House To-day-The Pooling Bill.

The week in the Senate will open with the
renewal of the discussion OF the Hawaiian
question. which promises to become the SUBJ
ject of several moro very animated speeches
before it shall be definitely and finally dis
posed Of.
The adoption of the Vest amendments to
the Allen resolution instead of discouraging
the antagonists of the administration, has
apparently had the effect of squirting them
on TO even more strenuous and pronounced
opposition.
They express themselves as hopeful of re-
versing the verdict of Saturday when the
next vote shall be reached, which will be on
the final adoption of the substitute. Senator
Teller will inaugurate the discussion for the
week with continuance of his speech begun
Saturday.
The Hawaiian question will be confined to
the two first hours of the daily sessions and
will at the expiration of this time give way to
other subjects. The bankruptcy bill has been
given the position OF unfinished business and
will occupy attention for the greater part of
the week.
Senator George will inaugurate the debate
with a speech to-day. He expects the meas
ure TO encounter very pronounced opposition.
and in this will not be disappointed, as
majority of the Eastern and Northern Sena-
tors will be found to be against the bill.
CONSIDER THE POOLING BILL.
When the bill is disposed of in whatever
way the Senate will probably proceed to con-
slider the pooling bill. If the threatened con-
Hict between this and the Territorial admis-
sion bills should occur majority of the Re-
"a Gano otn tuo11IH ha
favorable to taking up the pooling bill and
would probably turn the tables in its favor.
There are now no appropriation bills
before the Senate, but three of those re-
mainining enacted upon, viz, the District OF
Columbia. the diplomatic. and the post-off1ce
bills will be reported during the week, and
it is Senator Cockrell's purpose to call them
up Immediately, with the view of getting
them out of the way as soon as possible.
This he will do to the displacement of either
the Hawaiian resolution or the bankruptcy
bill.
The programme in the House for this week
will be subject to revision in case President
Cleveland sends special message to Con-
gress calling for legislation to protect the
gold reserve.
TO MEET THE PRESIDENTS WISHES.
Speaker Crisp, who has been at Asheville,
N c., for the benefit of his health, is ex-
pected to-day or Tuesday, and if special leg
islation is demanded by Mr. Cleveland to
meet the crisis an effort undoubtedly will be
made to comply with his wishes.
| To-day under the rule is District of Colum-
bia day, but a vote will probably be taken on
the bill to repeal the differehtial imposed by
the tariff act on sugars from bounty-paying
countries before District matters get the right
| of way.
1t is the present intention to give Tuesday
exclusively to the bill reported from the Pa.
| cific Railroad committee to fund the debt OF
the Union Pacific road. but as previously
stated, this bill depends on the President s
wishes. The remainder of the week will be
devoted to the consideration of the Navy and
Agricultural appropriation bills. Eight ap-
preparation bills have already been disposed
of. and besides the two mentioned there are
yet unacted on only the legislative and gen.
eral deficiency bill.
