Vote May Come This Week

Washington, July 5. - There is a prevailing opinión that a vote in the senate will be reached on the Hawaiian annexation resolutiong some time during the coming week. Some shrewd observers fix Saturday next week as the day, while more sanguine talk of the middle of the week. The opponents of the resolutions say that a vote is impossible next week, and say that at the inside limit the debate will run a week from next Wednesday. The contest seems to have settled down to this situation: If the friends of annexation are able to maintain a quorum until the end of the week it is probable that the opponents will consider further opposition of a filibustering nature useless and some arrangements for a vote will be reported. The first admission of any kind by the opposition that the end was in sight was a partial assent to the suggestlon that a vote might be reached after ten days' debate. It is believed by the opposition that when the appropriation bilis are passed a quorum can not be maintained. These bllls are practically out of the way, and the deficiency bil! will probably pass Tuesday. Next week ■wlil determine the staying powers of the annexationists. When it is demonstrated that a quorum will stay the opposition will yield and a vote be aken. Patrón Are Indignant.
