The Hawaiian debate was resumed by Nh.
Morse Mass). who had ffve minutes. BE-
fore he had proceeded for q minute, how
ever. Mr.. Outhwaite COhio) had called him
to order for unparliamentary Language.
Called to Order.
To what language do you referf" asked
Mr.. Morse
To the insulting. impudent and unpar-
hamentary language just used" answered
Mr.. Cultivate.
MI. Morse. according to the rule took his
seat. and the words excepted to were read
at the clerks desk as follows:
And yet strange to tell, at the COM
mand Of their master, the great Grover
Cleveland. his cuckoos In the House and
Senate, staunch southern democratic the
loudest shouters for q white mans govern

Resuming the course Of his argument. he
contended that even II Mr.. Stevens had

II would have had the right to have
reached out its arm in an extraterr1torial
act to restore the condition of affairs an
tecedent to the revolution. But whether
MI. Harrisons administration had such
power or not. he argued that certainly no
such power existed when Mr.. Cleveland
went into the White House. At that time

Congress should not, he argued. condone
the Presidents course. The whole case
had been pretudged before Mr.. Cleveland

he said. was ably seconded by his Secre-
tary OF State. who had no cause to stand
up for Mr.. Harrison. who had defeated him
for the republican nomination at Chicago

Against Annexation.
Mr.. Patterson Crenn) followed Mr.. John.

can party. coveted the possession OF the
Hawaiian Islands. The minister at Homo

The great haste manifested to secure an

conspiracy knew that Grover Cleveland,

time Of the revolution, there was coercion,
which was quite equivalent. III the moral
effect of coercion is the same force"
