In charge Of the measure, will close
! the debate tomorrow SIR. Morgan 10
confident he has q majority in favor
Of the bill. There has been no test
| vote, however, to indicate with GER
tainty what the result will be. There
has been vigorous and bitter opposi-
ton TO the bill, ard Mr.. Turpis, who
has led the opposition, Is not yet ready
to concede that the bill will pass. An
other chapter to the Hawaiian ques-
ton was added today, Mr.. Allen pop,
Neb.) presenting a resolution for an
neXation, and Mr.. George Dem. Miss.)
making n speech supporting the adj
~mlnistration's policy.
The house to-day devoted all It's time
to the consideration of the sundry civil
| appropriation bill. with such success
that at the hour of adjournment It had
completed the reading OF the I'LL. ex-
cept fer several contrc verified para
graphs, which were temporarily
passed over. The case of Judge Kicks
had an echo in the adoption of an
amendment offered by Mr.. Ray rep,
New York; making IL unlawful for
clerks Of United States courts to in
elude In their ,emoluments fees not
earned and due at the time their acts
were rendered, and ~forbidding the al
lowance of fees not actually earned.
The amendment excited no debate.

known, on record. 1t was under con-
sideration but three days. AS passed
the bin carries 500, 125, 721. Two prop
ositions. offered respectively by Mr..
Sayers and Mr.. Coombs, the formers
to clothe the secretary of the treas
ury with power to issue United States
bonds of such denominations as he
should see fit. instead of as now TO
reissue them of the same delomina-
ton, and the ~latter'S 70 retire and can
eel the gold certificates and make them
non-receivable for customs dues after
July l next, furnished the principal
theme Of discussion.

Washington, Jan. %. - President
Cleveland's policy toward Hawaii was
sustained In the senate by a vote OF
"a to %. The resolution was offered
by Mr.. Vest as an amendment to the
previous resolution on the subject by
Mr.. Allen pop, Neb.) and is as fol-
lows:
Resolved, That while the people Of
the United States earnestly sympathize
with he efforts to establish republic
an institutions wherever that effort Is
made, they rsaffirm the policy OF non
interference, unless by agreement, with
the affairs of other nations, and recog-
nizs to the fullest extent the right OF
every people to adopt and maintain
their " form Of government. TN
awed and u~ninfluenced by foreign die
tatiop. That the administration Of
President Cleveland in maintaining
this policy as to our foreign relations
deserves the approval and support of
the American people"
The vote was on party lines. with the
exception of Mr.. Pettigrew (Rep., s.
d., who voted with the Democrats.
By a singular coincidence this one
vote carried the resolution, as 1t would
have failed on a tie had the vote been
on strict party lines. The action rrac-
tically disposes Of the Hawaiian quss-
ton in the senate, although 1t Is ex-
pected to receive attention from time
to time IN the various pending reso-
lutions criticising the administration.
The house entered upon the consid-
Grafton of the bill to repeal the elf.
ferential of. one-tenth Of / per cent
per pound imposed by the tariff act on
sugars imported from bounty paying
countries.
