Verbal Sharpshooting in the House
All Day.
MORSE, OF MASS, CALLED TO ORDER.
The Administration Policy Arraigned by
the Republicans and Defended by
the Democrats-Boutelle's
Strong Protest.

| WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The Hawaiian
debate again absorbed the house yes
| terday, the night session being held to
permit speeches by those members who
| desired to talk, but who otherwise
would have not had an opportunity to
| do so on account of the limited time al
lowed. The debate is attracting less
attention than was anticipated This
is, perhaps. partly due to the abandon
ment of the policy of restoration by
the administration and partly to the
| fact the long tariff debate has surfeited
the house. The principal speeches were
made by Messrs. johnson, Boutelle, of
Maine; Patterson, of Tennessee, and
Black, of Illinois
Everett (dem. }, of Massachusetts,, de-
livered the invocation at the opening
| of the session.
Mr.. McGann tried to obtain unani-
nous consent for the consideration of
a resolution he offered to investigate
| the action of Judge Jenkins in the case
of the Northern Pacific railway, whose
employees he had enicined from strik-
| ing. but objection was made.
| The Hawaiian debate was resumed
by Mr.. Morse (rep.), of Massachusetts,
who had five minutes. Before he had
proceeded for a minute. however, Mr..
Cultivate (dem.), of Ohio, had called
him to order for parliamentary lam
! guage.
| $50 which language do you refer?"
asked Mr. Morse.
! "To the insulting, in,pudent and I'M
parliamentary language just used"
answered Mr. Outhwaite.
| Mr.. Morse, according to rule. took
his seat, and the words excepted to
were read at the clerks desk, as follows:
And yet strange to tell, at the command Of
! their master, great Grover cleveland, his
| cuckoos in the house and senate. staunch south
/ ern democrats. the loudest shoulders for u white
| mans government, disregard all their ancient
| traditions about white mans supremacy and
| the white mans government
The speaker ruled that the language
was supplementary. Before Mr..
Morse could proceed, however, his time
expired
Mr.. Johnson (rep), of Indiana, next
made a speech arraigning the course of
the present administration in attempt
drew a vivid picture of the efforts of
Mr. Willis and evolved out of it all the
plot of new comic opera to be called
Liliuokalani.
Mr. Patterson dem }, of Tennessee,
followed The sugar interests he ar
gued, were behind the annexation
movement. If the islands could have
been annexed under the bounty clause
of the Mckinley law, the sugar plant
ers there would have received from the
United States treasury $50. 600, 900.
The desire of the sugar planters to
put their hands into the pockets of the
American people lay at the bottom of
the revolution of 1S9J'' said the speak
err impressively. THE great haste
manifested to secure annexation" he
said, was because those in the con-
spiracy Knew that Grover Cleveland,
when inaugurated, would never give
his consent to the territorial extension
Of the United States to those islands,
1000 miles beyond oar western shore"
Messrs. Wheeler dem }, of Alabama,
and Oates (dem.l J. of Alabama, contin-
ued the debate The former delivered
glowing eulogy of President Cleve
land. The latter argued in behalf of
the adoption of the McCreary resolu-
ton from a legal standpoint.
Mr.. Boutelle (rep.), of Maine, who
followed Mr.. Oates, after reviewing
the contents of his resolution depre-
eating the policy of the admins
tration, added: Whatever may be
the tardy expression of the house, !,
claim favorable verdict on my in
1ictment from the American people"
Continuing, he followed events to the
attempted PRONUNCIATION by the eX-
queen of the new constitution January
IA, 1898. That act denoted the
political suicide of the Hawaiian mon
archy. THE honor OF the American
name" said Mr.. Boutelle, lis being
dragged in the dust by Grover Cleve-
land, w Q Gresham. James ii. Blount
and Minister Willis. | have no words
to express my contempt for the policy
of treachery, duplicity and false pre-
tense. You on the other side cannot
condone this outrage You cannot
make this heroic" Applause.
Proceeding, he characterized Mr..
Gresham as disappointed and apes
tate secretary of state, who. in conjunc-
ton with the president, sought not
only to uproos and overturl an Ameri-
can government, but to degrade the
American navy by putting it under
the control of Georgia politician, in
order to get some one who would haul
down the American flag" Appla1se.
When that order was written, whether |
by the secretary of the navy or the |
president, the constitution was violated |
and he who penned it rendered himself |
liable to impeachment As partisan
he might well glory and gioat over the |
present policy of the democratic party. |
which, he added, had been spewe1 out |
by the American people. He concluded |
with glowing eulogy of the American
flag,
