WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The Hawaiian
debate again occupied the attention Of
| the house, q night session being held to
permit speeches By those who desired
to talk, but who otherwise would not
have had an opportunity on account of
the limited time allowed. The debate
is attracting much less attention in the
house than was anticipated. This il
perhaps partly due to the abandon
msnt of the policy of restoration by
the administration and partly to the
fact that the long tariff debate has sur
feited the house. The principal
speeches today were made by johnson
of Indiana, Boutelle. Patterson, of
Tennessee, ann Black of Illinois.
The debate was opened by Morse
Republican of Massachusetts, who had
net proceeded five minutes before Outh.
waite, Democrat of Ohio, called him to
order for using unparliamentary Ian
guage. The language to which Outh-
| waite objected was as follows
"Strange to tell at the command of
land, his cuckoos in the house and
senate are staunch southern Democrats,
| the loudest shouters for q white mans
government" The speaker ruled the
language unparliamentary. Meantime
Morse's time expired.
Johnson, Republican of Indiana, fol-
lowed in strong arraignment of the
administration for trying to restore the
deposed queen.
Patterson, Democrat of Tennessee,
followed. The sugar interests, he ar
gusd, were behind the annexation
movement. If the islands could have
been annexed under the bounty clause
OF the Mckinley law, the sugar plant
ers there could have received from the
| United States treasury $4,000, 900.
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 '93," said the speaker
jimpressively. "Ths great haste man.
ifested to secure annexation was be-
cause those in the conspiracy knew
that Grover Cleveland, when inaugura-
ted would never give his consent to ter
ritorial extension of the United States
to those islands 1000 miles away beyond
our western shors.w
Wheeler, Dsmocra and Oates, Dem.
| ocrat, OF Alabama, continued the de-
bate. The former delivered glowing
eulogy on Cleveland. The latter argued
| in behalf of the adoption of the Nc
Creary resolution from q legal stand
point. Boutelle, Rspu blican, followed
Oates. After reviewing the contents of
his resolution roprobating tho policy of
the administration he added, What
ever may be the tardy expression of
this house l claim favorable verdict
on my indictment from the American
people," Continuing, he followed
events to the attempted promulgation
| by the ex-queen of the new constitu-
tion of January IA that act he denomi-
mated the political suicide OF Hawaiian
monarchy.
"The honor of the American name"
said Boutells, sis being dragged in tho
dust by Grover Cleveland, Walter @.
Or resham, James H. Blount and Min
lister Willis. I have no words to ex-
press my contempt for their policy OF
treachery. duplicity and false pretence.
You, on the other side, cannot condons
this outrage; you cannot make this
heroic" Applause.]
He characterized Gresham as the
"Disappointen and apostate secretary
of state, who in conjunction with the
president sought not only to uproot and
ovsrturn an American government but
to degrade the American navy by put.

hanl down the American flag applause]
When that order was written whether
by the secretary of the navy or by the
president the constitution was violated
and he who penned it rendered him
self liable to Impeachment"
As partisan, Boutelle said he nigh
well glory and gloat over the presen
policy of the Democratic party which,
he added, amid Republican applause,
had been spewed out by the American
people. He concluded with 8 glowing
eulogy on the American flag reciting 6
few verses, q sort of apostrophs to the
stars and stripes, written by native o
Hawaii. He was literally applaudet
when he took his seat.
Black of Illinois, Democrat, argued il
