WARRINGTON, RED O.--Dr. Wilhelm
Everett Dem, Mass.) delivered the in
vocation at the opening OF the
House session this morning. Mr.,
McGann (Dem., Ill., tried to
obtain unanimous consent for the con-
sideration of a resolution he offered 10
investigate the action of Judge Jenkins in
the case OF the Northern Pacific Railroad,
whose employees he had enioined from
striking, but objection was made.
Hawaiian Debate Resumed.
The Hawtian debate was resumed by
Mr.. Morse (Rep, Mass.), who had five
minutes. Before he had proceeded for
minute, however, Mr.. Outhwaite (Dem..
Ohio) had called him TO order for unpar-
liamentary language.
'sTo which language do you refer?"
asked Mr.. Morse.
, "Tos the insulting, impudent and un-
parliamentary language just used, an
swered Mr.. Outhwaite.
Mr.. Morse, according TO 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 Democrats,
the loudest shouters for white
mans government, disregard all their
ancient traditions about white mans SUI
premacy and the white mans govern
ment."
The Speaker ruled that the language was
unparliamentary TO speak of members OF
the House and Senate as being controlled
by their master, the President.
Mr.. Morse explained that he had in
reading his remarks omitted several words
from his manuscript, and he said II the
words objected TO were offensive he would
Withdraw the words, controlled by thcir
master, the President
Before Mr.. Morse could proceed after
his explanation and withdrawal his time
expired.
Mr.. johnson (Rep., lnd.) took the floor
and made strong speech, arraigning the
course of the present administration
in trying to restore the deposed Queen.
He drew vivid picture of
the efforts of Mr.. Willis and evolved out
of II all the plot of new comic opera, to
be called "Liliuokalani."
As Hamletlsaid TO Iaertes, {" II will make
. hit, palpable hit"
lie drew a picture of the opera playing
to packed houses throughout the United
States to the inexhaustible amusement OF
the people.
Congress should not condone the Presi-
dents course. The whole case had been
sdjudicated before Mr.. Cleveland as
sumed the reins of power. The Presi-
dent, he said, was ably seconded by
his Secretary OF State, who had no cause
to stand up for Mr.. Harrison, who had de-
feated him for the Republican nomina-
tion Mt Chicago in 1888, and who he'd
made it itnpoisibie for him in all
time to come to secure a Republican nom
ination. That, he said, was before Mr..
Gresham descended to his own level in the
Democratic party Republican applause).
The Administrations policy was, he
concluded, cowardly policy because it
assumed a position toward small in
significent power which it would never
have dared to take toward a fourth class
power.
Representative Patterson (Dem., Tenn.)
followed Mr.. Johnson.
