Senator Hanna was one of the attractions of the senate this morning, because of his speecn favoring the ship-subsidy bill, while the Clark senatorial question and the British treaty were added featuree, and, conse quently, the galleries were crowded. Senator Money offered a resolution directing the president to open negotia tions with Groat Britain, for abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwer treat. It was laid on the table. Senator Hanna began his speech, citing the case of lake marine growtii us an example of what had been achieved. He declared what was true of the commerce elsewhere. Hanna further said he did not propoee to run away from tho tongue of slander or tiie imputations of improper motives, in connection with the ship subsidy bill, made by some of the oppouents of the measure, lhere are many people lavor able to the upbuilding of thu merchant marine, but they have been misled and influenced by the misrepresentations ap parently wilfully made. Tho passage of tills bill declared Hanna, will create in live years more of a ship capacity than we have now iu nil our yards.

A strong light is to be made in congress for the admieeion of Arizona as a state. It has been the understanding with politicians that when the territory would elect a republican delegate to congress, thereby showing that there was little likelihood of adding two democrats to the eesate, that statehood would be couferred on the territory. That has now been done by a large majority. The citizins of Arizona no longer go about the towns loaded down with shooting irons, and all the implements which marked the semi barbarism of the territory a dozen years ago have been relegated to the past. The increase iu population has been re markable, while its agricultural, mining and stock industries all seem to warrant the placing of the territory on a footing of equality with other portions of the country where civilization has been per manently established.
