BY THE VEST AMENDMENT.
HAWAIIAN CONTROVERSY NOT CLOSED.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The week in the
Senate will open with the renewal of the
discussion of the Hawaiian question,
which promises to become the subject of
several very animated speeches before it
shall be definitely disposed of. The adop-
ton of the Vest amendment to the Allen
resolution, instead of discouraging the an
tagonists of the administration, had ap-
parently the effect of squirting them to
even more strenuous and pronounced OPP
position. They express themselves as
hopeful of reversing the verdict of Satur-
day, when the next vote shall be reached,
which shall be on the final adoption of the
substitute.
Senator Teller will inaugurate the dis
cussion for the work with a continuance of
his speech begun yesterday. The Ha-
waiian question will be confined to the
first hours of the daily sessions and will, at
the expiration of its 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 speech on Monday. He
expects the measure to encounter very
pronounced 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
the pooling bill. If the threatened con-
fiict between this and the territorial adj
mission bills should occur a majority of
the Republican Senators would support a
faction favorable to taking up the pooling
bill, and would probably turn the tables in
its favor.
There are no appropriation bills now be-
fore the Senate, but three of those remain
ing Enacted on, viz: the District of Column
bia, the diplomatic and the postoffice 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 the
coming week will be subject to revision in
case President Cleveland sends a special
message to Congress calling for legislation
to protect the gold reserve. Speaker Crisp,
who has been at Asheville, N. c., for the
benefit of his health, is expected tomorrow
or Tuesday, and if special legislation is
demanded by Mr.. Cleveland to meet the
crisis, an effort undoubtedly will be made
to comply with his wishes. Tomorrow,
under the rule, is District of Columbia day,
but a vote will probably be taken on the
bill to repeal the differential imposed on
the sugar by bounty-paying countries be-
fore District matters get the right of way.
1t is the present intention to give Tues
day and Wednesday to the report from the
Pacific Railroad Commission to fund the
debt of the Union Pacific, but, as previ-
ously stated, this bill depends on the
Presidents wishes. The remainder of the
week will be devoted to the consideration
of the naval and agricultural appropriation
bills. Eight appropriation bills have
already been disposed of, and besides the
two mentioned there are yet not acted on
only the legislation and general deficiency
