Cleveland Administration, MR. HITT PRESENTS THE REPUBLICAN SIDE Ina Vigorous § Not Minced, of ¥ cech, in Wi © Condemns the Course sident Cleveland and Minister Blount, WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.—The debate the Hawalian matter began in the hous day under a specal order which will it to a vote next Monday at 4 o'clock. adoption of the order was preceded by a very lively passage-at-arms between Mr. Boutelle and Mr. Catchings of Mississippi, a member of the committee on rules, which resulted in two attempts made by the former to have the words of the latter ex- cepted to by the house and subject him to censure. Only two speeches were made today, the first by Mr. McCreary, which was the open- ing argument in support of the resolution under discussion, and which consisted of a very long, critical and analytical review of the entire situation from the first inception of the revolution in 1892 to its consummation in January, 1893, It was in every respect a strong arralgnment of the action of Min- ister Stevens, who was boldly charged with complicity in the alleged plot to overthrow the existing monarchy. STRONG AND VIGOROUS Mr. Hitt's remarks were marked with great feeling and vigorous utterances. In his denunciation of the policy of Mr. Cleve- land and his characterization of the deposed queen he used the strongest possible terms, frepuently eliciting the applause of his re- publican colleagues. He had not con- cluded his speech when the house adjourned. e resolution which forms the basis of the present discussion Is that of Mr. M- Creary, condemning the act of Mr. Stevens and approving the policy of the president, at the same time expressing the sense of the house that the anuexation of the Hawaiian islands is expedient. For this Tepublicans have offered the minority re- port approving Minister Stevens' acts and condemning the acts of the present admin- 1 istration. In the course of proceedings today, Mr. Blair of New Hampshire affered a resolution favoring the annexation of the 1slands. MORSE'S CUSTOMARY MOVE. Before the reading of the journal Mr. Morse of Massachusetts, rising to a parlia- mentary inquiry, asked if it would be in or- der for him to offer his amendment to the title of the tarift bill. The speaker stated it would not. The amendment which Mr. Morse desired to offer would have made it read as follows: *A bill to increase tax- ation, reduce the revenue of the government and to place at a disadvantage honest men who make truthful returns, and for other purposes,’” As s00n as the journal was read this after- noon, the speaker recognized Mr. Catchings from’ the rules committee to present from that committee a report setting aside to- day, Saturday and Monday for the considera- tion of the McCreary Hawalian resoluton, The report provides that the favorable re- port of the committee on foreign affairs on the Hawailan question shall be taken up forthwith and be considered today and the next two legislative days (Saturday and Monday). The vote 1s to be taken ~ at 4 o'clock Monday, at which time no intervening motions shall be in order. The rule provides that imme- diately on voting on the majority report the house shall take up the minority report on Hawail for consideration until disposed of. BOUTELLE STARTS THE TROUBLE. Mr. Boutelle of Maine was on his foet clamoring for recognition to call up his H. wallan resolution, but the speaker decline to recognize him until the report was rend. Then, “being recognized, Mr. Boutelle said that he ralsed the point of order that the report of the committee on rules could not display a privileged resolution affecting tho right, nay, the very existence of the house tsell. During the debate Representative Boutello called to order Mr. Cafchings of M sippi, when the latter stated that the ru committee was providing against Boutel “fantastic and bedlamic gyrations on Hawalian question.’ Mr. Houtelle made his demand amid much confusion. Mr. Catehings’ words were taken down and read from the desk, but on u vote Mr. Catchings was excused. Mr. Cutchings had no sooner resumod speaking than he was again called to order by Mr. Boutelle for the statement that “the gentleman (Boutelle) 15 aflicted with & harmless mania for making an exhibition of himself on all occasions.,” The words were read from tho desk and Mr. Boutello insisted on a ruling as to the propriety of the word; Speaker Crisp ruled that was not parlismentary, A ensued amid much confuston. Mr. Boutello asked that the question of privilege be submitted for the detormina- tion of the house. The speaker, in making his ruling, stated that beyond questic the ordinary proceedings of the house could bo interrupted by a question or a privileged question, but under the rule wnder whic tho house has been operating for the past four weeks, all extra proceedings und an order which has superseded the ordinary rules of the house were not in order. If there was any impropriety in this, it was the action of the house, not the speake The house was now to ba given an oppor- tulty to decide by a vote whother it should proceed with the con fon of the resolution from fhe committee on foreign affairs or the resolution of ¢ ntieman from Maine. The matter was in the hands of the house. As the speaker was concluding Mr, Boutelle sought to fnterrupt him, but the chuir declined to hear him on the ground that he had given him full time to make his statement, IN ANGRY TEMPER suppose the speaker cannot prevent me from making my statement after the pre- vious question s ordere declared Mr, Boutelle, hotly, “The chair has no doubt that the genti@® man will have full time,” replied the speaker. “I have no doubt he will have,” Mr. Boutelle, as he took his seat. The previous question was then without division and fifteen mirut lovied on each for debat Mr. Reed ylelded three minutes to Mr. Boutelle. A8 the chair seomed strongly in- disposed to allow him to call his attention to matters affecting his rulings, said Mr, Dous telle, sarcastically, he would take this oppor- tunity 1o do 0, as he was proceeding Lo dis- cuss the effect of the adoption of the speclal | order. ln reply to some ironical remark ’.rwl_n Mr, Catchiugs of Misslssipp:, Mr. Bou- on REMARKS. the the hot language discussion reterted ordere were al 17 1871 telle said he presumed If the gentleman (Mr. Catchings) had known him at a more remote period he would have supposed him a fit sub- Ject for a lunatic asylum or a military prison, (Democratic jeers.) He went on 1o criticise the demoeratic triumyirate which, he sald, dominated the proceedings of the house, d in the course of his remarks he asked what the house would do on oceasfons when the “master” (refer- ing to the speaker) was absent at a banquet given In honor of the memory of General Robert B. Lee Mr. Burrows, in a few words, protested against what he deemed the growing power of the committee on rules, and especially its power to set a lmit to subjects which the house was to eonsider. Mr. Reed called attention to the fact that thero was a much easier way out of this matter than that adopted by the demo- cratic side. Mr. Boutelle's resolution could e been disposed of hy rnising the question of consideration against it. But instead, gald he, by slow degrees this house is defl- nitely getting itself in a position which will “deprive it of the power to consider a question of privilege, in other words of the power to supervise its own existence. He characterized the successive rulings of the chair as an utter absurdity. AT A HIGH TON. Mr. Catchings then rose to explain th purpose of bringing in the special order. F this time the house was on a strain and ten- sion. Mr. Catchings said that the commit- tee thought the submission of the pecial order the quickest and most effective way to give the house an opportunity to determine would do, is the same characterizes the lynchings in t interjected Mr. Reed, sarcastically both swift and inexpensive.'” *retorted Mr. Catchings, ““Is unworthy of the gentleman from Maine ttles his own greatness when he de- scends to the plan, f 5 colleague.” “We did not submit the rule to tleman from Mainc” (Mr. Boutelle), contin- ued Mr. Catchings, “because we knew in ad- vance that it would only give rein to his fan- tasti nd bedlamite gyrations on the floor.” “I call the gentleman to order,” shouted Mr. Boutelle, jumping to his feet, “‘and I ask that his words be taken down.” Mr. Outhwaite made some remark which called forth from Mr. Boutelle the observa- tion that he would-not take Mr. Outhwaite's Judgment in a horse case. “‘You are making a beautiful exhibition of yourself ain’t you,retorted Mr., Outhwaite. By this time the members were pushing down the aisle and crowding about the bel- lgerents, There was a streak of humor in the excitement. According to the rule th words objected to were read from the clerk’s desk and created a great laugh. Mr. Boutelle seemed discomfited. Mr. McMiliin moved that Mr. Catchings be allowed to proceed in_order. On a rising vote it was carried, 157 to 21, many repub- licans voting in the aflirmative. MADE THE POINT OF NO QUORUM. Mr. Boutelie made the point of no quorum. “There is no quorum to approve of that sert of thing,” said he engrily. Subsequently, however, at the request of his friends, he withdrew his point of order and Mr. Catch- ings was allowed to proceed. e had hardly sald a dozen words, however, before Mr. Houtclle was again on his feet. “I have no unkind feeling toward the gen- tleman from Maine,” said Mr. Catchings “In common with many others, 1 have al- ways considered he was affected with harmless mania for making on all vecasions an_exhibition of himself.” “I call the gentleman rupted Mr. Boutelle, “and demand that his words ‘be taken down. The gentleman' words are unparllamentary. He knows he must avoid personalities on the floor. 1 ask for a ruling of the chair.” Tho rule was again read. After some wrangling over the course of procedure, Mr. Catchings was permitted to explain un- der the rule. As he began Mr. Boutelle at- tempted to Interrupt him, but the speaker, after some heavy rapping of the gavel, sharply ordered him to take his seat, “I can truly say,” began Mr. Catchings, “that during my term of service here of ten years, 1 hgve never uttered a word that could’ cauge complaint, unless what I have said today should be construed as offensiv Mr. ~ Catchings then made a humorous speech; saying that the democratic victory yesterday made him very amiable. He was particularly sarcastic in his reference to Mr. Boutelle and the latier's war record, closing with these words: I have ob- served that the gentlemen who boasted the most prowess were the least harmful. (Laugh- ter) I never deal in personalities,nor im- pugn men's motives here. It is conducive neither to good fellowship nor good man- ners, “If the gentleman is going fo discuss me,” Interposed Mr. Boutelle at this point, I ‘want to have something to say, and I will have something to say.” Mr. Boutelle's suggestion The house voted to allow Mr. proceed in order, and the incident cl MR. RICHARDSON THANKED. On motion of Mr. Morse of Massachu- setts the thanks of the house were extended to Mr. Richardson of Tennessce for the able and impartial manner in which he served as chairman of the house committee of the whole during the long tariff debate. The resolution was unanimously passed, and evoked applause from both sides of the house, At this point the president’s message, transmitting the latest Hawalian correspond: ence, was submitted to the house, and, upon request, was read by the k. As the reading closed, Mr. Bouteile asked if Presi- demt Dole's letter in reply to Minister Willis was_ included. On receiving a negative answer, Mr. Bou- telle said: “I understand the Dolo has been received in the city.” Mr. MecCreary, chairman of the committee on foreign affairs, then had read the wma- jority resolution condemning the action of Minister Stevens, and Mr. Hitt had read the minority report condemning the restoration of the qu . Mr. McCreary then began the opening specch of the Hawalian debate. The subject appeared to have little interest for the house and few members remained. Mr. MeCreary related in detail some of the incidents of the Hawaiian revolution. He dec d Mr. S ens' letter of March 8, 1582, plainly showed that he was plotting to overthrow the gofernment. The revolution, he contended, was in the iuterest of the sugar planters, who wanted annexatfon in order that they could secure the sugar bounty of American planters under the Me- Kinley law, Is it not strange, he asked, that of all the distinguished republicans who defend these proceedings, not one has ralsed his voice in”favor of annexation, which was its object? BLAIR GOBS ON RECORD. “Here s oue,” int ted Mr. Blair, “Well, I am glad to see one, at least,” sald Mr. McCreary. “There was no popular wall agalnst the queen. lution: it was a consplra as was the proceedi this was the most remarkable ingtoh.

He is fighting hard for a favorable report from the senate commit tee. Re-enforcements have been sent for and meetings of local option republicans are being held in all the principal delegates appointed to present the matte the legislature and urge upon the republican majority the absolute ity of keeping faith with the people. The Harsh bill, which provides that the payment of the monthly mulct tax shall act as @ bar to prosecutions for illegal selling for thirty days, is slowly gaining among the republicans in the senate, see the necessity of doing somethin program now 1s to first present the Hrower bill for consideration. Should this fail then the Harsh mulet bill will be called up and the fight forced to an issue on this measure. It is conceded that the Harsh bill will re- ceive the support of a majority of the senate committee, and it is equally certain that it annot pass that body without democratic suppC MAY SETTLE THE QUE! The republicans so far have settle the question among 3 1d still hope to avoid the necessity of call- ing for democratic assistance, but should the emergency arise fusion will be effected. The democrats, however, will assist upon taking up the Schmidt $500 license bili which 1y d_their solid support at the last session. When this s disposed of they will be free to make such combinations as may be agreed upon. Having supported the Gatch bill at the last session, they will hardly feel like withholding their ~votes from the Brower bill, which is identical in_cvery feature. It forced to choose between the Harsh mulet bill and the Brower or Chassell local option bills, a majority of the republicans in the house, led by Chairman Funk, openly declare that they will accept the latter. If the principle of prohibition must be given up they want a local option law with every possible safeguard against the encroachment of the saloon upon prohibition territory, and these are not contained in the measure drafted by the senator from Creston. PROFESSIONAL JURORS MUST GO. A delegation of leading citizens from Du- bugue are here asking for relief from the “professional juror.” ~ They favor the pas- sage of a bill introduced by Mr. McCann, which prohibits any grand or trial juror from serving more than one term in {wo years. Other cities of the state are asking for sim- ilar legislation. The Wycke cities and to ne TION. endeavored to themselves, valued policy insurance bill, after being amended Dby striking out the words “farm and personal property,” has been fayorably considered by the house and will be reported for passage. The house committee on suppression of intemperance has been umable to agree on the Dill introduced by Sawyer, allowing the manufacture and sale of alcohol, wine and beer for legal purposes. Senator Groneweg of Pottawattamie made a long argument yesterday in behalf of the grape growers in favor of this measure. As a result of this discussion a democratic bigh license bill was introduced today. It contains the following provisions: The fee is fixed at from $500 to $1,000. Al incor- porated towns and cities shall be compelled to submit the license question to avote on a petition signed by two-fiths of the legal voters; also the entire county, exclusive of towns and cities, on the same conditions. At least $200 of the fee Is to go to the gen- eral county fund and the balance to the municipal treasury. Grape growers to be allowed to manufacture free and sell in quantities not less than one gallon. OTHER MEASURES INTRODUCED. The house discussed the bill requiring the crection of the United States flag over school houses. Robinson (dem.) said it would cost the state over $100,000. Crow (rep.) thought it would instill patriotic emotions in the children. After further talk the bill went over until tomorrgw. Bills were introduced as follows: By Dayisson, repealing the law relative to land- lord’s liens; by Horton, empowering Board of Railroad Commissioners to order con- struction of private crossings on request of land owners; by Ranck, establishing a state board to formulate rules for embalming and burying the dead; by Sowers, authorizing mayors in cities of the second class to appoint city marshals; by St. John requiring mutual assessment lifel nsurance companics to print on the margin of their policies the statement that members are llable to assessment; by Weaver, providing a special tax of one-tenth of a mill on_all state property for the sup- port of the State university; by Trewin, re- quiring railroads to use the interlocking switch at all grado crossings; by Robiuson, igh license and local option bill. he constitutional amendment resubmit- ting prohibition to the people has been ap- proved by the house committee and will probably receive the republican_vote.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.—A dispatch in cipher was received at the Navy department this morning from Admiral Benham. It is thought to be a request for instructions as to the course to pursue in view of da Gama’s threat that he will bombard Rio when he pleased and without giving notice to foreign commanders in Rio bay. Admiral Benham probably wishes to know whether he is authorized to demand that da Gama shall give potice. This dispatch must have been sent TFe- fore the admiral had received fie mes- sage which Secretary Herbert sent to him esterday in - whith it was sald: ‘Rely upon yoy for further exercise of Wise discretion.” ~ It was zent, in fact, before the admiral knew whetidc his €ourse the past week had been approved. It probably will not ke thought necessary to send any spe- clal instructions on the point raised, as it is one that must have been considered before Admiral Benham was authorized to proceed according to his own discretion. When he receives the dispatch sent vesterday he will perceive that he has sufficient authority under that and his general instructions, International law does not fix upon the period before commencing a bombardment, when notice must be given, but all civilized nations are agreed that previous notice must be given. The time allowed Is usually fort: elght hours. 'The opinion in the Navy de- partment is that Admiral Benham and all the other naval commanders will unite in not allowing a bombardment on shorter no- tice than that, .. =4 R rrarT o PROTECTION OF WI Message Re iary Hands Down a Decision that Will Alarm Shyster Lawyers.

Attorney General Stockton Gives an Oplnlon on the Senatorial Tangle. JERSEY CITY, Feb. 2—Governor Wertz has reccived a formal opinion from Attor- ney General Stockton upon the advisability of quo warranto proceedings in the New Jersey senatorial deadlock. The attorney general says he has no doubt of the juris- diction of the supreme court where there arc two conflicting legislatures, each cluiming a right to exercise legislative functions, to determine by which legislative authority can be used. The opinion quotes McCreary and Cush- ing from Elliott,debates on the federal co stitution and other authorities and says: “The supreme court has thus partially de- cided thai the senate of New Jersy, like the senate of the United States is a perma- nent, steadfast, continuous body, always e fsting with (wo-thirds of its members hold- ing over. Mr. McCreary declares that in such cases the newly elected members, al- though a majority, must attach themselves to the hold-over members and submit their credentials to the existing body. “The question which of the two bodies claiming to be the senato of New Jerscy should be recognized by the court will in- cvitably at no distant_day be presented to the supreme court and that court will not hesitate to de the question when prop- erly presented.” Governor Wertz, after reading the opin- fon, said: “While I will probably for the time being concur in the attorney general's suggestions as to the advisability of the immediate institution of quo warranto pro- cedings, I shall, tinless the question as to which is the constitutional semate is soon brought before the court in some other way, insist that proceedings by quo warranto be instituted.” L Y Refused to Rulse the Rate, CHICAGO, 1 The Unfon Pacific today 140 be a party to the ralsing of the now In effect between the Mis- wourl river the Paciiic The ather lines desived $15 I ovder to allow their applic: thon of e At rate f S50 between St Paul nd Uind and' Letween the Mixsourd river and \ Francisco. } Ateiison 0 ke o ) Union i ralte o' theatvicul puriies e _ Rich Gold Mines, ALBUQUERQUE, Feh., 2,-Vic B, Robinson of the Santa Ko Hon.
