SEND THEM TO CONGRESS-.


A PROTEST FROM THE HAWAIIAN PATRIOTIC
LEAGUE AGAINST MINISTER sTEvENs's ICON
eP1RAcY" AND THE AMERICAN PRESS GEN
ERArLY. WHICH PRESUMABLY QUITE
MEETS MIR. CLEvELAND's VIEWS.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE,
Washington, Jan. 22--President Cleveland
transmitted another budget Of Hawaiian CORE
spondence to Congress to-day, and like that of
Saturday it was read in the House Of Repre-
sentatives The President did not invite atten-
lion to any particular document and style 1t "a
most extraordinary" one. and yet the chief in
closure in to-days message fairly merited that
distinction. The reading Of the memorial OF
the Hawaiian Patriotic League consumed
good deal of precious time, and few OF the mem-
bers listened to IT. being impatient TO proceed
with what they evidently regarded as more I'M
portant business.
The tone Of comment among those VINO look
the trouble to listen was the reverse OF FAVOR
able and several Democrats said priva'ey ''a'
I'm their opinion the sending of the document I'D
Congress was not evident either or goou taste
or sound judgment, that the paper ltsei Was
q savage arraignment Of former dipioHlauc
officer OF the United States whom UNKNOWN
foreigners were permitted to accuse OF con-
spiracy and OF the members of Government
which has been recognized by the United states
and every other civilized nation and the per-
sonnet of which has received the highest praise
from Minister Wills One Representative also
thought that the sending to Congress by fres'-
dent Cleveland of a petition of foreigners con-
tanning expressions censuring the press or me
United States might induce many persons TO De-
he
petitioners Several Republican Congressman
expressed their qualification that the President
chad at last succeeded in procuring an IN
dorsement Of his Hawaiian policy from some
ouarter" and were curious to know more ABOUT
the Hawaiian Patriotic League
The reading Of the petition was followed by
rather exciting scene. The Speaker had said
that the papers would be referred to the COM
mittee OH Foreign Affairs. when Mr.. Bou'ehe
demanded recognition on a question OF privilege.
After some hesitation the Speaker recos"'%eo
him. and asked him to state the question VI
privilege" Mr. Boutelle said that the paper
lust read plainly disclosed the fact that the OF
fetal representatives Of the United states IN
Hawaii are still engaged I'm an intrigue 10 over
throw q friendly governments Government
which has been recognized BY this Admnstra-
ton and 10 which a duly accredited minister
had been sent. He submitted that IN th's STATE
~ fairs the acts OF the Administration and Its
agents demanded the immediate attention ana
sy,ift condemnation OF the House of Representa-
tives.
OF course Mr. Boutelle was not allowed to
make his little speech in peace. The nrst SEN
tence he undertook to utter created hubbuo
and raised storm Of protest on the Democratic
aide and the second was punctuated with sharp
ans Of the Speakers gavel Mr.. Boutelle, how
ever held his ground. and proceeded to state
his question Of privilege" until Colonel Hatch. OF
Missouri. rushed into the area facing the speaker
and demanded that ''the words OF the gentleman
from Maine be taken DOWN
"Tbe gentleman from Maine will take his
seat" exclaimed the Speaker
Certainly" replied Mr.. Boutelle
"rbe gentleman will do so without remark"
said the Speaker severely, whereupon Mr.. Bou-
telle again arose.
"The Sergeant-at-Arm will see that the gentle'
man from Maine Is seated said the Speaker.
and that Official selling his badge or oiiice, set
out to perform his duty. When ne arrived MT
Routelle who was seated, received him snilingly
and saIuted the mace. The Sergeant-at-Arms
retired I'm good order. and the Speaker said:
1.-THE gentleman from West Virginia moves mat
the House resolve itself into Committee OF the
Whole" an announcement which awoke the
oentleman from West Virginia from reverie
IN which he had been irdugng. After the ques-
ton had been put and the Speaker was about

manded division. ,., ss

Mr. Boutelle having been named as one OF the
tellers, blandly asked Am obliged 10 act as
