MARE ISLAND NAVY YARD, June l7.-Repairs on the transport Nero and monitor Monadnock are fast nearing completion. The engines on both ships have undergone a thorough overhaul ing, the boilers on the Nero have been tested and repaired, and new ventila- tors put In. She will be lowed to San Francisco by the Unadilla when her stores are aboard. Nearly 4000 tons of coal will be taken aboard and a ship load now lying out in the stream will also be lowed to San Francisco.
 On the Monadnock everybody is busy putting aboard stores, and giving the finishing touches to the engines. Very little repair was necessary to the main engines, but the air pumps and evapor- ators have undergone extensive changes and the steam engineering department with a corps of copper smiths, have been working day and night to have everything ready on time
 A week ago, according to orders, the apprentice boys were transferred from the Pensacola to the former revenue cutters Grant and Rush. The boys did not like the idea of serving on such UOdlot dI1Q dll6I d lew udyS SOI together and delegated a number to interview the commandant with the hope of securing their transfer back to the Pensacola or some other ship. The committee interviewed Admiral Kirk land, who, after listening to the ar gument of the lads to the effect that they had enlisted for service in first class naval ships and not in makeshift gunboats, granted the request and sent them jubilantly back to the Pensacola
 Steam was got up on the Nero this morning and on a dock trial her engines worked in a satisfactory man. ner. She will be lowed to San Fran cisco to-morrow and her cargo of coal nearly 4000 tons, placed aboard as soon as possible Both the Brutus and the Nero have been good investments for the Government. They are virtually new ships, with large displacements economical with fuel, and require but few men to run them. The coal con- sumption at nine to ten knots an hour is not over twenty tons per day. The boilers are exceedingly large for the amount of power required, and were found to be in excellent condition.
 The cruiser Philadelphia will be placed on the dock next Thursday for the third time.

POSTPONED UNTIL MONDAY
SPEECHES TO BE MADE AGAINST
 THE RESOLUTION.
The Discussion to Be Opened by Senator White, Who Will Be Followed by Petit
 grew.
Special Dispatch to The Call.


 WASHINGTON, June 17.-Only about fifteen minutes time was consumed by the Senate Foreign Relations Com mittee to-day in reaching a conclu- sion to report the resolutions for the acquisition of the Hawaiian Islands by the United States. Only two of the Democratic members, Turpie and Mills, were present at the meeting and they contented themselves by recording their votes In opposition to a motion to re- port favorably, showing no disposition to delay action by the committee. The Republicans voted in the negative and Senator Davis stated he was author ized to cast the vote of Senator Mor- gan O.) in the affirmative. The fact developed that while the resolution first received the sanction of the House, it was prepared by Senator Davis, and no disposition was manifested to change it in any respect.
 It is already becoming evident that the reported understanding among the members of the finance committee reached during the pendency of the war revenue bill to the effect that the Hawaiian resolution should not come up for consideration during the pres
 
 figure in the consideration of the ques- tion in the Senate. This matter was in- formally presented to the Republican members of the committee in behalf Of the Democrats after the adjournment Of the committee meeting to-day and they were informed that the Demo- cratic members of the finance commit tee were generally disposed to contend that the agreement was explicit to the effect that the Hawaiian question should not be revived in the Senate during the present session. Some of the Republican members of the Foreign Relations Committee stated that they had never before heard of the agree ment, but all manifested disposition to investigate the matter.
 In the executive session of the Sen- ate, held late in the day, an agreement was reached to adjourn over until Mon day, thus postponing the taking up of the annexation question until that time. The action was taken on motion of Senator Jones of Arkansas, who stated that the opponents of the annexation resolution desired the extra time in which to prepare themselves for the Hawaiian debate. He stated that they had supposed that the debate would be initiated by the advocates of the reso- lutions, but that having heard that they intended to make. no speeches he though the opposing party should not be expected to begin so abruptly.
 Senator Morgan at first opposed the motion, contending for the necessity of a session tomorrow, but he afterward yielded and the motion prevailed.
 Senator Davis said that under the cir cumstances he would insist upon a Sat urday session, but that he hoped that when the resolution should be taken up Monday the matter would be pro- ceeded with expeditiously. The incl dent served to bring out the fact that it is the purpose of the friends of the resolution not to debate it at all.
 The discussion will be opend Mon day by Senator White, who will be fol- lowed by Senator Pettigrew.
