The Rabid Radical From Maine Pro-
ceeding to Sail Into the Admins
tration's Hawaiian Policy in De-
Aance of the Rules, When He Was
called Down and Compelled to Take
His Seat-Oannon Defends Cleve-
lands Course in Sending Troops to
Chicago.
Washington, Aug. 9.-The Hawaiian
question came to the front again in the
House to-day, forming the subject of the
most spirited and interesting topic of the
proceedings. Mr.. Boutelle raised it as a
question of privilege. He repudiated the
reuorted imputation that in introducing
the resolutions recognizing the Hawaiian
republic he had sought to obtain a
partisan advantage for the Republican
party He said he was DESTROYS
only of maintaining the honor and dignity
of the government, and of observing the
unbroken traditions of the country and of
congress. He criticised the failure of the
committee on foreign affairs to act upon
his. resolutions, and denounced the Ha-
waiian policy of the administration, es-
as the grudging, hating, secretiEe recog-
milton of the republic of Hawaii by the
President.
Mr.. Boutelle arraigned the administra-
ton for its Hawaiian policy, and was re-
ceiving the applause of his republican as
sociates, when Mr.. Coombs, dem, of New
York called him to order on the ground
that he was not speaking to a question of
privilege
CRISP sUsTAINs THE POINT.
Speaker Crisp sustained the point and
raped the gentleman from Maine TO
order. An excited colloquy between him
and the speaker ensued, in the course of
which the speaker said MIR. BOutelle
from his long experience, must know that
he had gone beyond the limits OF mat
ter of personal privilege and warned him
that he could not continuously violate the
rules of the House.
Mr.. Boutele insisted that he had stated
that the matter was question not only
of personal privilege, but of the privilege
of the House, and asked the speaker to
rule upon that point.
The Speaker-The chair rules that the
gentleman is out of order.
Mr.. Boutclle-O, the speaker can refuse
to hear.
Before taking his seat, Mr. BoutelIe,
unsuccessfully endeavored to get unani-
nous consent TO move that the committee
on foreign affairs be discharged from the
further consideration of his resolutions,
and that they be considered by the Il ouse.
THE MILITARY AT CHICAGO.
The bill to increase the efficiency of the
militia came up again and gave rise to a
discussion in which the recent riots at
Chicago were referred to. MIR Fithian,
dem, of Illinois criticised President
Cleveland's order sending federal troops
there.
Mr.. Cannon, rep, of Illinois said that
no one would question the fact that in
the enforcement of a state law, the power
of the state authorities was plenary, and
that the President would be regarded as
an interloper unless he were requested to
act by the governor or legislature But
In the recent troubles at Chicago, the sit
uation was that the decress of the United
States courts were interfered with
and the interstate law violated in
its every section. When the President
called out the federal troops to enforce
the federal laws, the democrats said,
"God bless him for his courage and
fidelity" and the republicans, glad of an
opportunity to commend a democratic ex-
eCutive for doing his duty, said amen"
of my colleague (Mr Fithian) desires to
make this an issue,n said Mr.. Cannon, ''in
the approaching election in our state, well
and good. He will find the republicans
standing by a democratic President for
performing his sworn duty" Applause
Mr.. Dunn, dem, of New Jersey OPP
posed the bill He said the restrictions
placed upon the use of the military by
the fathers of the country should be
observed. He deprecated the attempts
of the federal government to grasp the
power reserved to the states.
To a question by Mr. Hepburn, rep, of
Iowa Mr. Dunn said he knew that the
government had protected certain indus
tries at the expense of others, and there
by violated the constitution. Democra-
tic applause.
FITHIAN HITS BACK.
Mr.. Fithian, dem, of Illinois, said he
was not surprised at the position taken
by Mr. Cannon. 1t was the same that
had been taken by the Republican party
ever since it was organized. AS TO Gov.
Altgeld's action in the recent troubles,
Mir, Fithian said it had been in exact ac-
cordance with that of every governor of
the state, republican and democratic
alike. The state, he declared, was able
to maintain peace and order within its
borders without the interference of fed
eral troops or authority. 81 love peace
and order" Mr.. kithian said, but / also
love the constitution and laws of my
country, and hate to see them violated
by the President or anybody else"
The hour expired, and, without action,
the bill went over. The special order
adopted yesterday was called up, and the
House, under it, proceeded in committee
of the whole to consider bills on the pri-
vate calendar reported from the commit
tee on claims. Six We're passed. and the
