 WAsHINaToN, Feb. 5.-Dr. Everett, ,dem.
 of Massachusetts, made the prayer at tn
 opening of the house of representative
 this morning. The Hawaiian debate wa then resumed by Mr. Morse, rep, of Mas sachusstts, who had five minutes in whict to speak. Before he had proceeded fol ! a minute, however, MT. Outhwaite, dem. 1 of Ohio, had called him to order for un parliamentary language.
 "To what language do you rsfsrp asked Ar. Morse.
 "To the insulting, impudent and unpar liamentsry language just used," answered Ar. Outhwaite.
 MT. Morse, according to the rule, took read at the clerks desk as follows:
 And yet, strange to tell, at the command of their msster, the great Grover Clsve- land, his ouckoos in the house and senate, stanch southern democrats. the lopdest shouters for white mans government, disrsgsrded all their ancient traditions about white mans supremacy and the white mans government.
 The spesker ruled that the language was unpsrliamentary, to speak of members of the house and senate as being "controlled by their master, the president"
 MT. Morse explained that he had, in reading his remarks, omittedseveral words from his manuscript, and he said if the words objected to were offensive he would withdraw the words "controlled by their master, the president"
 Before Ar. Morse could proceed after his explanation and withdrawal his time ex- pired.
 MT. Johnson, rep, of Indiana, took the floor and made @ speech srrsigning the course of the present administration in at tempting to restore the deposed queen. He thought the efforts of Mr. Willis would furnish material for the plot of 6 new comic opera to be called 'tLiliuokalani.n
 Mr. Boutelle, rep of Maine, in defend ing the action of Minister Stevens said that his greatest crime was that he had always at heart the interest of the American gov ernment and the American people. No one could ever bring that charge against the president frepublican spplsusel and one might search the records in vain to sho where the sycophsnts and parasites of president had ever gone to such an ex- tent in upholding @ president as the demo- cratic party now presented.
 He referred to MT. R.yner's remarks a few days ago in which he spoke of Minis ter Stevens letter, written year before the revolution, asking what he should do in case of 8 revolution and drawing up wor- thy infersnces from the fact that no sn- swer to that letter could be found in the archives of the state department. Such e document could not bs sbstrected from the department without discovery, and the req son 1t was not was found was because that letter was never answered.
 When Mir. Rsyner impugned the intes- rity of the former secretary and when he approached his grave with profound tread, spot the solemn circle of 8 peoples love, and let him set but one step of proclamation within that circle and on his head would be launched the curses of Q loving people.
 MT. Boutelle showed that the interests of Great Britain were antsgonistic to those of the United States. He also showed that MT. Stevens could not have anticipat- ed @ revolution on the islands, and he de nied that United States troops were used in aid of the movement. MT. Boutelle hEIdikAOo buc ouo-eiucuuob6 CI Lu6 I6SOlu- tien reported. Mr. Boutelle closed with an impassioned recital of the lines of David Graham Ades on the hauling down of the flag at Hawaii He was loudly spplsuded and warmly congratulated by the republi- can mem bers.
 Mir. Black, dem, of Illinois, replied to assertions made in Ar. Boutelle's resolu- tions rejecting on the president, among them the assertion that the president had invaded the rights and the privileges of the house by withholding the Hawaiian It was not & breach of privilege, he said, to keep diplomatic com. from it. MT. Cleveland was the first president who had taken the peo- pie into his confidence in such mattsrs.
 MT. Van Vorhees, rep, of New York, appealed for annexation. The issue, he said, Is an issue with President Harrison If Mr. Stevens was e conspirstor, 50 was MT. Harrison and 50 was the senate com- mittee OF foreign relations, which had reo- ognizsd the provisional government and the treaty fsvorsbly to the sen ate.
 At the conclusion of Mir. Van Voorhees, speech MT. McCresry, dem., of Kentucky, moved that the house take a recess till 8 D. m., the evening session to be for debate only on the Hawaiian question. The mo-
  rep of Maine suggested that it would be better to let debate go on regularly @ day or two more. Against this proposition MT. Bland, dem, of Missouri rem nstl ated. He said he should insist on calling up on Wednesday next the bill to coin the silver seignorage.
 MT. Griffith, dem. of Michigan was the next speaker on the Hawaiian question. He said he cordially and enthusiastically endorsed the administration.
 There were just ten members present when MT. Brookshire, dem., of Indiana, took the chair at the evening session. The first speech was made by MT. Hsll, dem, of Minnesota, who defended the course pursued by MT. Cleveland's sdministra- tion in the affairs of Hawaii.
 Er. Post, rep, of Illinois, commended the course pursued by President Harrison and condemned that of President Cleve- land. MT. Stslling-, dem, of Alabama, condemned the action of Minister Stevens and commended the course of the present administration.
 IN THE SENATE.
 The house bill to repeal the federal elec- ton laws was taken up at p. m.. and MT. Chandler, rep. of New Hampshire, sd- dressed the senate in opposition to it.
 MT. Palmer, dem. of Illinois, supported the bill because he believed the federal election laws were useless. misleading and 6 menace to every community where they were put in force.
 Mir. Frye. rep. of Maine, said that If the states could be depended upon to do what is just and fair they ought to bs allowed to administer the election laws, but that if the states could not bs depended upon the federal election laws should be retained. In the course of his remarks, MT. Frye re- ferred to the provision in the constitution of Mississippi that voters must be able to read the constitution or to interpret Its meaning. He was told by MT. Gray, dem. of Delaware, that that was no worse than the provision In the Massachusetts instrument The discussion on the relative restric tions of the Mississippi constitution wal | carried on for some time with considerable warmth. Finally the debate closed witt the declaration by Mir. Palmer that the election law was miserable abortion. Int bill went over till tomorrow and the sen ate, after . short executive session, sd iourned.
