BOUTELLE MAD.
He Denounces the Sneaking Way
Hawaii Was Recognized.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Elm the House
today, Mr.. Boutelle (Rep., Me.), arose to q
question of personal privilege. He called
attention to the fact that on July 20, he had
introduced series of resolutions looking
to recognition of the new Hawaiian
republic. The Speaker, no said, had held
that the resolution was not privileged,
and II had been referred to the commit
tee on foreign affairs.
At meeting of that committee, accord
ing to public prints, Mr.. Geary was
quoted as saying that he (Boutelle)
had introduced the resolution for
political purposes. Mr.. Boutelle
said he did not believe Mr.. Geary had inn
puted such motives to him. He repudi-
ated and denounced any such suggestion.
He had acted In absolute good faith.
He called attention to the fact, as stated
in a special dispatch to the New York
World this morning, that the President
had formally recognized the Hawaiian
republic. He quoted the words of the
dispatch to the effect that the Democrats
were preparing to spring this upon the
Republicans "as surprise"
He was proceeding rather impetuously
TO describe how Secretary Gresham chad
sneaked up to the capitol yesterday to in
form Chairman McCreary of the admin
istration's purpose" when Mr.. Outhwaite
called him to order for using disre-
spectful language toward a member OF
the cabinet while discussing question of
personal privilege. The Speaker warned
Mr.. Boutelle to keep within the rules.
With the letter OF greeting to President
Dole, which Of course passed through
the hands of Minister Willis, was
sent lctter to Minister Willis, ratifying
his action in Professionally extending the
usual recognition to the republic.
Mr.. Frank p. Hastings, who in
the absence of Minister Thurston
is charge d'Affairs at the Hawaiian Lega-
tion here, had an interview with Sec
retary Gresham and was told that he
had been formally recognized as the
representative of the new government.
Chairman McCreary of the House COM
mittee on foreign affairs says that it is
not customary to give publicity to
diplomatic correspondence until it has
reached its destination. Consequently
the letter to President Dole will not be
made public until sufficient time has
passed for its reception, when copy will
be forwarded to Congress with a copy of
the message received from him.

In this rattling run the Wig liant per-

and the cutter, both of them presenting
magnificent marine spectacle as they
dashed the seas away from their bows and
tore along towards the lightship. Pass
ing the Cowes fiatboat going eastward,
the two yachts we're timed % follows:
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1894-08-09

The Vigilant, therefore, was here only
20 seconds behind her leader, but after
rounding the lightship the Britannia
began to pull away steadily from the
American yacht.
One OF the causes OF the Britannia's gap
being diminished on the run to the light
ship may be attributed to the fact that on
nearing East Cowes Point the Britannia
hauled In her spinnaker. The vigilant
on the other hand held on to her great
cloud OF spinnaker silk with good results.
The Britannia continued to widen her
lead during the beat back to Cowes, and
at the end of the first round the Vigilant
was about half mile astern.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1894-08-09

The cutter here had a lead of one
minute, forty seconds on rounding this
mark, about two miles from the start.
The britannia was the first TO run out
her spinnaker, the Vigilant following
later.
by this time the wind had freshened and
both yachts carried flying jibs and they
ripped along at spanking pace. Every
inch OF canvass was filed to the utmost,
leaving broad, foaming streaks of wake
behind them, and travelling faster than
an ordinary steamer could go.
