WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The Hawaiian
debate again occupied the attention of
the mouse today, night session being
held 10 permit speeches by those mem
bers who desired to talk, but who other
wise would not have had an opportunity
TO do so on account of the limited time
allowed. The debate is attracting much
less attention in the house than was an
ticipated. This is perhaps partly due
to the abandonment OF the policy of
restoration of the administration, and
partly to the fact that the long tariff
debate has surfeited the house. The
MesSrs. johnson, Indiana; Boutelle, of
Maine; Patterson. of Tennessee. and
Black, of Illinois.
Everett (Dem. Mass.) delivered the
invocation at the opening of the session
OF the house this morning. Mr.. Nc
Gam tried to obtain unanimous con-
sent for the consideration of a resoIu-
ton he offered to Investigate the action
of Judge jenkins, III the case of the
Norther Pacific railway, whose en-
ployes he had enjoined from striking,
but objection was made.
The Hawaiian debate was resumed by
Mr.. Morse (Rep., Mass, who had five
minutes. Before he had proceeded tor
a minute, however, Mr.. Cultivate
Oem.. o. had him called to order for
unparliamentary language.
''To which language do you refer?"
asked Mr.. Morse.
ITO the insulting, impudent and un-
parliamentary language just used," an
swered Mr.. Outhwaite.
Mr.. Morse. according to the rule, took
his seat, aud 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 South
ern Democrats, the loudest shouters for
white mans government, disregard
all their ancient traditions about white
mems supremacy and the white mans
government"
The speaker ruled that the language
was supplementary.
Before Mr.. Morse could proceed, how
ever. his time expired.
Mr.. johnson Rep., Ind.) took the
floor and made strong speech arraign-
ing the course of the present admins
tration in attempting to restore the de-
posed queen. He drew vivid picture
of the efforts of Mr.. Willis, and evolved
out of it all the plot of new comic
opera, to be called "Liliuokolani."
MIR. Patterson Oem.. Tenn followed.
The sugar interests, he argued, were
behind the annexation movement. Ii
the islands could have been annexed,
under the bounty clause of the McKin-
ley law the sugar planters there would
have received from the United States
treasury S50,OOO,0OO. "The desire of the
sugar planters to put their hands into
the pockets of the American people lay
at the bottom of the revolution of 1885,"
said the speaker impressively.
The great haste manifested to secure
annexation," he said, twas because
those in the conspiracy knew that Gro
yer Cleveland, when inaugurated, would
never give his consent to the territorial
extension of the United States to those
islands, 1000 miles beyond our western
Shore"
Messrs. Wheeler Oem., Ala.) and
Oates tDem.. Ala.) continued the de-
bate. The former delivered a glowing
eulogy of President Cleveland. The
latter argued in behalf of the adoption
of the McCreary resolution from legal
standpoint.
MIR. BOUTELLE
(Rep., Me.), who followed Mr.. Oates,
after reviewing the contents of his reso-
luton reprobating the policy of the
administration, added: "Whatever may
be the tardy expression of this house.
| claim favorable verdict on my in
dictment from the American people,"
Continuing, he followed events to the
attempted promulgation by the ex-queen
Of new constitution Jan. II, 1898.
That act he denominated the political
suicide of the Hawaiian monarchy.
"The honor of the American name,"
said Mr.. Boutelle, "is being dragged In
the dust by Grover Cleveland, Walter
Q. Gresham, James 81. Blount and Min
lister Willis. l have no words to eX-
press my contempt for the policy of
treachery, duplicity and false pretense.
You on the other side cannot condone
this outrage; you cannot make this
heroic"
Proceeding, he characterized Mr..
Gresham as a disappointed and .apos-
tate secretary of state" who, in con-
junction with the president. sought not
only to uproot and overturn all Amer
ican government, but to degrade the
American navy by putting it under the
control of Georgia politician in order
to get some one who would haul down
the American flag.
When that order was written, whether
by the secretary of the navy or the
president. the constitution was violated,
and he who penned it rendered himself
liable to impeachment. AS partisan
he might we'll glory and gloat over the
present policy of the Democratic partyt
which. he added, had been spewed ou,
by the American people.
He concluded with a glowing eulogy
of the
AMERICAN FLAG,
reciting few verses, a sort of apos-
trophe to the stars and stripes, written
Wy q holifO vi laval. he was llD6rdlly
applauded when he took his seat.
Mr.. Black, of Illinois, the ex-commis-
sioner of pensions. in reply. said that
the eloquent words of MIR. Bouielle, SO
far as they appealed to American honor
and American patriotism, awakened the
liyeliest commentator in his heart:
but. after all, this was now an old story,
it was no longer grave question. The
government of Hawaii was now finally
established. There was no attempt to
invade it. All the Republicans hoped
for by this discussion of ancient history
was pTontlcai advantage, and the Demo-
cratic side of the house did not propose
that they should have it. He proceeded
to anaiyze the several resolutions, point
ing out what ne considered their defects
or Inconsistencies. He argued for a
policy of foreign non.intervention. I'VE
are after Stevens" said he, land we
think we will get him;"
