Special Dispatch to The Call.

Call Office, Riggs House,
 Washington, June 10.
 The feature of the days session of the House was the securing of an agreement to consider and vote upon the Newlands resolution to annex Ha- waii. Beginning tomorrow the debate will proceed until o'clock next We'd nesday afternoon, when a vote will be taken.
 The anneXationists' camp to-day de- termined to force consideration, and for three hours the opposition filibus- tered. Consideration of the resolutions to-day could have been prevented, as under the rules a recess until the even ing session necessarily would have been taken until 5 o'clock, but 1t was plain that the annexationists would win their victory tomorrow. Realiz- ing this, and knowing the resolutions would pass and go to the country, in volving prominent issue, the opposi- ton treated for liberal debate, and their demands were granted readily.
 Eight Democrats voted with the an- neXationiStS in the movement to-day to force consideration of the resolutions, they bein~ Berry of Kentucky, De Vries of California, Livingston of Georgia, Brucker of Michigan, Cummings, Sul- ger and Vehslage of New York, and Cochran of Missouri. It is claimed at least twenty Democrats will favor the passage of the resolutions.
 The bill to enable volunteer soldiers to vote at Congressional elections was passed and a number of minor meas ures, chiefly of a private nature, were considered.
 The Lacey bill, providing for the par ticipation of volunteer soldiers in Con gressional elections, was called up when the House met to-day, It being the privi- legged business under continuing order: recommit the bill with instructions for the committee to report it with an added pro- vision extending the suffrage provision to members of the naval reserve. A rollcau was taken, resulting in the defeat of the motion to recommit-ayes 100 noes 120- and the bill was then passed, 195 to 42. Elections Committee No. ?, then called up the report in the case of William Ryan against H. c. Brewster, from the Thirty first New York District.
 Grosvenor (R.) of Ohio, pursuant of the purpose of the Hawaiian annexationists to force to-day, if possible, the taking up of the resolution immediately, raised the question of consideration against the cleo ton case. Upon a rising vote, the House decided not to take 1t up-ayes v. noes 7s-and Mcguire demanded a rollcall.
 Meantime, cannon lR.D or Ill1lOlS, LuTH- ing to Grosvenor inquired: "I want to ask the gentleman from Ohio 1T the rais- ing of the question in consideration means the bringing up of Hawaii ?"
 ''It does" responded the Ohioan, with much vigor.
 The vote resulted ayes 92, noes 12s. and the hearing of the election case having been refused Ray (RD of New York called for the regular order, which, under the rules, would be the private calendar.
 Grosvenor moved to consider public business. A vote was then taken and the call was followed with much interest. the House realizing the result probably would mean the consideration of the Hawaiian resolution.
 Grosvenors motion prevailed, l40 to SS. The opposition to annexation then began to filibuster rollcall being demanded upon the consideration of a resolution calling upon the Secretary of War for names of civilians appointed to military office since April 24.
 The vote resulted in the defeat of. the demanded upon another minor matter, when, pending the call, order was brought out of chaos and an understand ing was reported quickly whereby the House agreed to begin consideration of the Hawaiian resolutions and debate them from day to day until o'clock next Wednesday afternoon, when vote shall be taken. The agreement was applauded.
 As soon as the Hawaiian situation was cleared several private bills were passed, and also one fixing the status of volun- teer staff officers by placing them under the regular army. At 455 o'clock the House adjourned having agreed unani- mouSly to -vacate the order for the even- ing pension session.
