WARRINGTON. Jan 1Q-It had been generally
supposed that Mr.. Boutelle's original Hawaiian
resolution had been disposed OF when the
House took up the Tariff bill to-day. but the
question again came up In connection with q
report made by MIR. Cummings. Chairman OF
the Naval Affairs Commit on n resolution
offered by MIR. Boutelle. calling on the secre-
tary OF the Navy for any information In the
possession Of the department relative to the
Hawaiian matter. The committee amended
the resolution by calling for Information from
March 4. 1892, instead OF 1893 Mr.. Cum
minRs asked for the i'm III late consideration
OF the resolution. but Mr.. Dockery Dem, Mol
objected. Mr.. Cummings then asked that the
resolution lie on the Speakers table without
losing its privilege. and this was ordered.
Mr.. Doutelle was on his feet in q moment at

the Speakers decision holding that his tMr.
Boutelle'sl resolution presented a question OF

the special order brought up from the Com
