AS soon MS the reading OF the Journal
was completed tho speaker recognizea
Ca,chings on motion 10 call up the re-
port from the committee on rules. Bou.
teiic demanded recognition 10 call up his
resolution TO the effect that the presl'
dents Hawaiian policy had invaded the
rights and disnities of the house. Tho
speaker was disposed TO ignore Linn as he
had done on the two. previous days. But
this morning Boutelle made point OF
order that the speaker in attempting TO
give precedence TO report from the com.
miticc on rules over q question OF privii.
exc had himself invaded the privileges,
dignity and honor OF the house. and this
point having been made the question,
must be submitted TO tho house itself TO
determine whether It's privileges were alb
solutely abrogated.
Tho startling nature OF this point OF
order caused the greatest excitement ana
confusion. Members crowded down
about the speakers rosirun. outehe.

Order should be submitted directly 10 'he

Speaker Crisp on ruling on Boutelle's
point OF order went into an elaborate dis
cussion os the parliamentary situation, in
order. he said. to give lie and elect TO tho
privilege Of the house TO change Its own
rules. The rules require that when a
proposition TO change the rules is before
the house nothing shall DO m order en-
cept q motion to adjourn. III tho gentle
man from Maine can invoke an existing
rule to prevent 1t from proceeding 20 con-
slider n change OF rules. then tho house
ties itself hand and foot. II the house
feels its honor and dignity assailed by the
speaker or by tho executive, then the
house can vote down this report and tho
chair Will recoanis Boutellc TO call up his
! resolution.
Borteile tried to continue, but the
speaker refused 10 recognize him further.
Eoutelle was still clanoring when Reed
arose to parliamentary inquiry. desiring
| to know whether tho speaker refused to
| entertain Bouiclle's appeal on the ground
that IL was dilatory. The speaker replied
that he had given Boutcl!c . hearing OH .
point upon which hc had ruled on two
previous occasions in the belief that 1t was
