Hear Grievances-The House Cannot Get Away From the Hawaiian Controversy
 BoutelIe Scores Gresham Again.
 WASHINGTON, April 20-The house i. | making slow progress with the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill. Almost | the entire day was devoted to thrashins over the old straw in the Hawaiian contro versy. The text used as basis for the de bate-a motion to cut off the salary of tht Hawaiian minister-was defeated whel the vote was taken without division.
 During the debate Mir. Boutelle held Sec retary Gresham up to public scorn in hi. usual vehement and impulsive manner Secretary Gresham said he, in the Hawaii an matter had been guilty of the most prodigious diplomatic blunder in our his tory, and to show that this opinion wa. shared by distinguished Democrats he reaC from Senator Hills recent speech the lat ter's criticism of Secretary Gresham.
 What government is Willis accredited to?" he asked, addressing MT. McCreary.
 'The de facto government" replied MT McCreary.
 ''1 thank the chairman of the foreign af fairs committee for this ray of light,' saic Mr. Boutelle. T am glad to learn that the administration has at last recognized the government which John L. Steven, recognized when the revolution occurred tRepu applause.l
 Boutelle Is Sarcastic.
 Does the gentleman not know that min isters are always accredited to the de factc governments?" asked MT. McCreary.
 Presumably so," retorted Mir. Boutelle "but if understand the English language in this case Mir. Willis was instructed by MT. Cleveland and Mr. Gresham to sing in fho nf do cfn ernment, but to secretly recognize her maj esty the queen" Laughter and applause The vote was then taken on the Lacey amendment, and it was lost without di- vision.
 MT. Stockdale moved to limit the indef nite appropriation for the payment of min isters and consuls while receiving instruc tions to $60,000. It was defeated.
 About o'clock half the mem bership O, the house suddenly faded away to attend the opening ball game of the season, and when this act was observed MT. Cannon carried the committee of the whole to g vote on an amendment to prevent the in, crease of the salary of the Mexican secre tary of legation. The Democrats were un, able to produce a quorum, and after roll call the house adjourned.
 In the Senate.
 The day in the senate was almost entire ly consumed by a speech against the pend. ing tariff bill by Senator Perkins of Cali fornia. The speech was mainly devoted to discussion of the articles in the bill which directly affected California-wool. fruits, quicksilver, beet sugar, etc.-al though he considered other features in the bill in which his state was not interested. but which were opposed to Republican principles and which he accordingly ar. raigned. But little business was transacted in the morning hour, the agreement of the senate to the report of the conference committee on the urgent deficiency bill being the most important. The Peffer resolution for the appointment of a committee on communi cations for the purpose of hearing the grievances of Coxey's army was debated by Senators Peffer and Allen, both of whom favored it, but it went over without action by the expiration of the morning hour. Eulogies were pronounced on the late Representative w. H. Enochs of Ohio, after which the senate adjourned.
 The Coxey Question. Inquiry concerning the proceedings ol the executive session of the senate develops the fact that senators take more serious view of the prospective gathering of Cox eyites and others here than the first report would have seemed to indicate. They do
  corning the immediate followers of Coxey as they do&n account of the large number of other organizations reported to be head ed toward the city, and they think it pos sible that the large cities of the eastern seaboard may furnish large contingents if it should become apparent that there will be a sufficient assemblage otherwise to make cloak for pickpockets and thieves. It has also occurred to some of them that the crowd will necessarily contain an un- usual percentage of professional agitators, who, being reckless of consequences, may incite the crowd to riot. Senators who sat quietly in open session while the Populist senators were discuss ing the proper method of dealing with the Coxeyites expressed themselves quite free ly in secret session to the effect that imme- diate measures should be taken by the ex- ecutive department to meet any of the eX- agencies which may arise. The fact was recalled that when it look ed as if there would be trouble at the in auguration of President Lincoln, General Scott honeycombed the city with troops, and the announced purpose of General Grant to do the same thing on the occa- sion of President Hayes inauguration was also cited. The opinion is expressed by senators who participated in the executive proceedings that in view of these precedents and the emergency that is likely to arise President Cleveland would be justified in issuing proclamation warning the men now on their way to the city in connection with Coxey's movement that the authorities will be prepared to require the strictest observance of order. The opinion is also freely expressed in the senate and was advanced in executive session that congress cannot afford to and should not do anything looking toward the sustenance of the Coxey army while here It is expected that if large body of men should assemble, as is now regard ed as probable, they will soon find them selves more anxious to secure food to sus- tain life than money to build roads and will be clamorous for an appropriation to that end.
