MORE OR LESS DEBATE.
There are many Asns of general i'm
portance connected with the sundry CT
vii bill and it may consume day or
two of the Senates time.
The census bill also will receive at
tention if opportunity is afforded.
There is a general desire to provide for
the taking Of the next census before
adjourning for the session, and the
hope is now expressed by the friends
of the measure that the committee bill
will be accepted without a great deal
of debate. The quarantine bill also oc-
cupies a prominent place upon the ca
lendar and may be considered.
Whether
THE HAWAIIAN QUESTION
shall come up will depend largely upon
the action OF the House The general
understanding among Senators is that
the Newlands annexation resolution
will be acted upon by the House dur
ing the week, but that the action will
come in time for the Senate to take up
the same measure this week is doubted

that body. The opponents Of annexa-
ton still insist that there will be no
serious action by the Senate during this
session, but they agree that it almost
certainly will come to the front again,
especially il the House acts. They
prophesy that in that tvent they will
soon be able to make il SO evident that

The conference on
THE REVENUE BILL.
between the two houses will be inaug-
urated during the week, but how long
it will continue or what the result will
be there is yet no indication from any
source. The Senate cOnferees announce
themselves as very determined to stand
for most Of their amendments, and they
profess TO believe that the House will
yield on a majority on the ground t4at
the Senate gave more attention to de-
tails than did the House. On the more
important amendments. such as those
dealing wUA the bonds, the tea tax,
the seigniOrage and the Inheritance
tax, to say nothing Of many others in
serted to please individual Senator's,
wide differences are quite certain to
arise. These the Finance Committee
count upon and are quite prepared 10
meet.
All parties are counting upon the
general desire for adjournment to as
sist materially in expediting consider
alton and each man hopes this interest
in adjournment will help his cause by
insuring acceptance TO avoid delay in
getting away. A majority of Senators
still count upon reaching the end of the
session by the first of July and some
place the date much earlier; but all adj
nit that their opinions are mere con-
lectures. 1t is impossible to speak in
any wise definitely as to this matter I'M
I'll the Hawaiian question shall have
had an airing and the war revenue bill
shall be finally disposed e. IN the
meanwhile the progress Of the war may
raise other questions. So far, how
ever, as can be seen row, tJ present
month ought to and probably Will wit
ness the final adjournment.
THE WAR REVENUE BILL,
as it passed the Senate, will be pre-
scented 10 the House, when ii meets to-
morrow. The desire OF Chairman
Dingley and the majority members Of
the Ways and Means Committee. IS TO
send the bill TO conference at once and
not delay it by debate. In accord with
this desire the Committee on Rules
