poets TO 60 TO the Front.
WASHINGTON, June 20.-The Hawaii
an question comes to the front again
in the senate during the present week,
but under somewhat different circum-
stances from tn ose which attended its.
presentation at the beginning of the
session. The purpose was then, as it
is now, to secure the annexation of
the islands to the United States. but
the effort at that time was to secure
this result by means of treaty, where
as the present course was through the,
fundamentally of a joint resolution.
On the first occasion the matter was.
considered in executive session with
the public excluded, while now the
doors are to be thrown open and the
world invited. What the outcome of
the discussion may be, or when a vote
will be reached, no one will undertake.
to say positively. The leaders on both
sides are full of prophecy, but there is.
such discrepancy between their opin-
ions as to render ii necessary to dis
card one in order TO accept the other.
The friends of annexation assert that
there is no possible doubt of their
ability to pass the resolution and say
they have 40 senators, or one
more than a quorum, pledged To
remain in the senate until the
question can be decided, while the OPP
posing leaders declare that as senators
have assured them that they will vote
to adjourn in preference to remaining
in session indefinitely for the consid-
GRAFTON of the Hawaiian question. The
supporters of the proposition express
ontidence that action will be secured
within ten days, while the opposition
contend that it will be found impos-
sible to secure a vote during the pres
ent session of congress. A test vote
probably will be secured to-day on the
taking up of the resolution, as it will
be necessary in order to get it up to-
displace other measures on the calen-
dar.
Much of the time of the house this,
week will be devoted to consideration
of conference reports. Notable will
be those upon the District of Colum bia,
sundry, civil and Indian appropria-
tons bill and probably upon the bank
ruptcy bill. The general deficiency
bill will be passed, and among promi-
nent measures likely to be considered
are the anticipating and banking and
currency bills. Those in charge of the
latter measures have not determined
whether they will urge consideration
this week or not, but in case the ma
jority sentiment of the republicans,
favor the taking up of the measure,
no obstacle will be presented by the

depend early adjournment, members
generally conceding that the senate
has the key TO the situation.

WASHINGTON, June 2J.-Adtt- Gen.
Corbin characterizes as absurd the
published report that be would be.
given an important command at the
front. and in a measure, would sue
coed Gen. Miles in the direction of
military affairs. Such thing, he
said, had never entered his mind, or.
so far as he knew, that of anyone else
in authority. He had never heard it.
intimated from any responsible source
that Gen. Miles might be relieved OF
some of his duties, and he did not be-
lieve that such thing was ever con-
sidered. And even were it true, it
was beyond reason. he added, that his
(Corbin's) position would be changed
in consequence.
MILES EXPECTS TO 60 To THE FRONT.
WASHINGTON, June 2D.--With refer
ence to the report that he is to take per-
sonal command of the American expe-
dition which is to be sent to Porto
Rico, Gen. Miles said yesterday that
the matter of his future movement.
was in this respect too indefinite to
discuss. IL expect TO go to both Porto.
Rico and Cuba some time, but cannot
now say when"
Arthur Nichols, a miner, fell to his
death in the Boughton mine, Galena,
Kan.
