WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The week In
the senate will open with the renewal OIL
the discussion Of the Hawaiian question
which promises to become the subject
OF several very animated speeches be-.
fore it shall be definitely disposed OF.
The adoption of the Vest amendment
to the Allen resolution, instsad OF dis
couraging the antagonists of the admins
istration, had apparently the effect Of
squirting them to even more strenuous
and more pronounced opposition. They
express themselves as hopeful of revers-
ing the verdict OF Saturday when the
next vote shall be reached which shall
De on the final adoption of the eubsti-
tute. Senator Teller will inaugurate
the discussion for the week with q con-
tinuence of his speech begun yesterday
The Hawaiian 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.
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 in
augurate the debate with speech on
Monday. He expects the measure to
encounter very pronounced opposition
and in this will not be disappointed, as
o 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 probab ~
proceed to consider the pooling bill.
II the threatened conflict between this
and the territorial admission bills should
occur majority Of the Republican sem
ators would support 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 re-
naming unaoted upon. viz: The Dis
trict OF Columbia, the diplomatic and
the postoffice bills will be reported dur-
ing the week, and II is Senator Cock
rell's purpose to call them up imme.
diately with the view to getting them
out OF the way as soon az possible.
This he will do to the displacement OF
either the Hawaiian resolution or bank
ruptoy bill.
