Washington Feb. 6.-The Hawaiian
debate again occupied the attention Of
the House, a night session being held
to permit speeches by those who de-
sired to talk, but who otherwise would
not have had an opportunity on &C
count of the limited time allowed.
The debate is attracting much less
attention in the House than was an
ticipated. This is. perhaps partly due
to the abandonment of the policy of
restoration by the administration, and
partly to the fact that the long tariff
debate has surfeited the House.
The principal speeches today were
made by johnson. of Indiana; Boutelle.
Patterson, of Tennessee and Black, OF
Illinois.
McGann Democrat. of Illinois, tried
to secure the unanimous consent of
the House for the consideration of a
resolution to investigate the action of
Judge jenkins in the Union Paclhc
railroad case, the employees of which
road he had enjoined from striking,
but objection was made and the HaWa-
iian debate was resumed by Morse,
Republican). of Massachusetts,, who
had proceeded but five minutes before
Cultivate Democrat, of Ohio, called
him to order for supplementary IAN
guage.
The language to which Cultivate
objected was as follows: Strange to
tell. at the command Of their master,
great Grover Cleveland, his cuckoos IN
the House, and Senate, staunch south
eru Democrats, the loudeSt ShouterS
for a white mans government, disre-
gard all their ancient traditions about
the white mans supremacy and a
white mans government
The speaker ruled that the language
was supplementary; meanwhile
Morse's time expired.
johnson (Republican). of Indiana,
followed in a strong arrangement OF the
administration for trying 30 restore
the deposed- queen
Patterson Democrat, of Tennessee,
followed, The sugar interests. he ar
gued, were behind the annexation move
ment. If the islands could have been
annexed under the bounty clause OF
the Mckinley law, the sugar planters
there, would receive from the United
States treasury $50.000,00O. 1.-THE de
sire of the sugar planters to put their
hands into the pockets of the Ameri-
can people, lay at the bottom of the
revolution Of 1893" said the speaker,
impressively. 'aThere was great haste
manifested to secure annexation" he
said. because those in the conspiracy
knew that Grover Cleveland, when in
sent to the territorial extension of the
United States to those islands, 1000
miles beyond our western shore"
Wheeler Democrat, of Alabama,
and Oates Democfat). of Alabama,
continued the debate. The former de-
livered a glowing eulogy of Cleveland.
The latter argued in behalf of the
adoption of the McCreary resolution
from a legal standpoint.
Boutelle Republican,, of Maine, who
followed Oates, after reviewing the
contents of his resolution reprobating
the policy of the administration, added
Whatever may be the tardy express
sion OF this House, I claim favorable
verdict on my indictment from the
American people"
Continuing. he followed the events to
the attempted PRONUNCIATION by the ex-
queen of q. new constitution on January
a. That act he denominated the DO
htical suicide of the Hawaiian mon
archy. THE honor of the American
name, said Boutelle, lis being dragged

cannot condone this outrage: Won
cannot make this heroic (Applause).
He characterized Gresham as a Dis
appointed and apostate secretary of
state. who, in conjunction with the
president, sought not only to uproot
and TO overturn an American govern
me3t 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 Ameri
can flag. (Appiause) When that
order was written, whether bv the
secretary of the navy or the president
