Washington, June 29.
 There is much talk of an early ad- journment in both houses of Congress, and some of the members have made arrangements to leave Washington upon the assumption that an adjourn ment will be reached about July g. A sudden collapse of the opposition to the annexation resolution in the Senate is hoped for next week by friends of the proposition, and they will use every ef- fort to force conclusion of the dis cussion.
 There has been nothing in the pro- ceedings this week, however to indi- cate any substantial foundation for this belief. On the contrary it was declared to-day by members of the opposition that they are as determined as ever to prevent votes, if they can, and that in any event the debate will proceed un- interruptedly for two and possibly three weeks, and perhaps longer.
 There are to be discussed some phases of the annexation question that have not yet been touched upon, ana which 1t is believed will have the effect of provoking additional debate upon both
 
 of character of the interests which are alleged to have been behind the original annexation movement. One or two Of the Democratic Senators have made a study of these interests and will endeavor, it is said, to point out to the country the selfish motives that have actuated some of the annexationists. There are a number of speeches yet to come and anti-annexationists declare rryi1l ,y,cie iet fn,, their delivery.
 When the joint resolution for annexa- tion was taken up in the Senate to-day Caffery was recognized to continue his speech in opposition to the resolution. He said, In reply to an inquiry by Teller, that the method by which Texas had been acquired was contrary to the constitution. He said the resolution of annexation was forced through by a partisan majority, just as it was now proposed to force through the Hawa- ian resolution, regardless of the fact that the admission could only be legit- imately accomplished by treaty.
 In concluding his speech Caffery again referred to the interest of the sugar trust in the pending resolution Tt has been said that the sugar trust is opposing the annexation of the Ha- waiian Islands" said he. Now, if there is anything that is perfectly clear to me, it Is that the sugar trust wants annexation. The charge that it is in any way opposing the annexation of the islands to my mind is not well sus- tained. What the sugar trust wants is raw cane sugar free of any duty. and annexation will give them the Hawa- ian product free. The sugar is brought to San Francisco and there refined by the trust. The refined product Is not mad- in Hawaii"
 Caffery further maintained that the sugar trust controlled the market for raw sugar and that annexation would fasten firmly it's hold upon the market in this country. At 5:05 D. m., Gallery having concluded, the Senate on mo- tion of Davis, in charge of the resolu- tion, went into executive session and at 6 D. m. adjourned.
