MR. B0ETEGLE FIGHTS HARD FOR
 THE SEW REPUBLlC.

Ho Says That Every Impulse of Amari- , can Manhood in the Governments Poli- ? cy From Begining to End Has Been F,~ Trnmpied Under Foot.
 g Washington. Aug. s.-Mr. Boutelle. re of Maine. in the house to-day rising to s question of privilege, said that on the sOth ut. he had introduced resolu- tions regarding the recognition of the Hawaiian republic which were referred to the committee on foreign affairs. The resolutions. he had learned from the newspapers, had been considered by the committee. He quoted from news paper account of the proceedings of the committee a statement attributed to Mir. Geary. dem. of California, to the effect that he (Boutelle) had offered the resolutions for the purpose of putting the democrats in hole and giving the republicans an opportunity to gain a campaign advantage.
 MT. Boutelle repudiated the asser- ton from any source whatever that he had In any way. from the beginning, acted from any other motive than that of absolute good faith. He had no other purpose than the passage of the resolutions as an exposition of the sen- timent of the people. MT. Boutelle fur ther said prominent democratic paper stated that so far from MT. Boutelle having acted In a partisan manner 1t was the democratic administration that was acting in partisan manner for the purpose of discrediting him. He then read a despatch announcing that the president had recognized the republic of Hawaii but had not communicated the fact officially to congress.
 This" he continued, fin the face of the official report and assurances in messages that the Hawaiian question had been relegated to congress for set dent and secretary of state and the chairman of the foreign affairs com mittee shall have all the credit, honor and glory they can extract from the plan to get ahead of Boutelle and spring surprise upon the republicans, but l warn them that the matter does not end here"
 MT. Boutelle was describing the sec retary of state in carrying out his part of the plan as "sneaking into the lobby and privately communicating the act of the president to the chairman of the committee" when he was called to or der by MT. Outhwaite.
 Speaker Crisp said MT. Boutelle had gone beyond the limits of the matter of personal privilege.
 MT. Boutelle said he would keep within the rules. Should the committee. on foreign affairs, persist in its course of. inaction it would traverse the undiviating line of tradition and precedents of the house, and the new republic would come into the galaxy 0f free governments without welcome from the greatest. MT. Bou- tele said:
 "The mere formal performance of a duty on the part of the executive, which ought to have been performed long since-the fact that the adminis- tration had performed this duty reluct- antly, haltingly, grudgingly and se- cretly-does not relieve us from our re- sponsibility or our duty. The outrags upon every principle of public honor that has characterized the so-called Hawaiian policy" from the beginning has been carried flttingly to the end, and, every principle of international probity, every idea of national dignity, every sentiment of public honesty and every impulse of American manhood has been trampled under foot. In the name of the people, in the name of free dom for mankind, in the name of that sentiment which recognizes struggles for liberty wherever they may exist or succeed I ask this to repudiate this mass, to come back to the bedrock of the first principles of the republic in its better days, and to join heartily in doing what ought to have been done long ago. namely, to express our cordial congratulation to the republic of Ha- vail" (Applause)
 MT. Coombs. dem. of New York, call ed Mr. Boutelle to order.
 Speaker Crisp sustained the point. An excited colloquy between MT. Bou- telle and the speaker ensued. The speaker warned MT. Boutelle he could not continuously violate the rules.
 MT. Boutelle Intellectually endeavored to secure recognition to ask unanimous consent for the consideration of the he had offered. ..
 MT. McCreary, chairman of the com mittee rose to question of privilege. He was giving the history of the Ha- waiian matter in committee when MT. Fithian, dem. of Illinois, made the point of order that that was not a mat ter of privilege. and was sustained by MT. Crisp.
