a speech at protection banquet in

n speech at a protection banquet IN
Washington last night as follows:
But the same hand which carried a
musket for four years against the
American flag is against you and is the
same hand which has torn down the
American flag from the government
buildings of Honolulu. There is a
sample of the un-American spirit which
is rife in Washington and which is veil
ing in secrecy the whole brutal attack
on government American in its SYM
pathies in the Hawaiian Islands.
For this he was requited with vo-
ciferous applause, and one of his hear
ers, sitting near him, was 80 carried
away By the emotion he excited, that
he sprang up, and hugging him, i'm
pressed rapturous kiss upon his
cheek. Evidently the war is not over
so far as concerns Mr.. Boutelle, whose
sectional hate is more notorious than
any of his other qualities. The worst
of this, is the fact that Mr.. Boutelle is
not the only man in his section who
feel and talks on the subject referred
to as ne does. But the South can stand
it, if the North can.

IT Is understood that as much in
favor of protective tariff as the repub'
lican U. 5. Senators from New England
may be, some of them, at least, will
vote for the free coal provision in the
Wilson bill. Should this be so, it will
moi be at all surprising, for that bill, ac-
cording to Mr.. Wilson himself, gives
the manufacturers of their States pro-
lection to the amount of 81 on every
$40 worth of their products. and, with
free coal, would give them good deal
more. The wonderis that some south
ern democrats say they will vote the
same way.

and Mr.. Brosius continued his speech
which was interrupted yesterday whcr

AT the conclusion of NJ. Brosiu.'s re-

Mr.. Everett was enthusiastically ap-
plauded by the democrats when h.
took his seat and when the disorirr
had subsidized Mr.. Black spoke in favor
of the bill.
When Mr.. Black concluded his re
marks the chairman in recognizing Mr.

the republicans agreed that those in
favor of the bill should speak first and
then those in opposition.

At the conclusion of Mr.. Payne's
speech Mr.. Simpson took the floor. He
said he intended to vote for the bill.
