DOINGS OF KRESS
The Federal Elections Bill
Discussed. . '
TAMMANY SCORED BY FRYE
Bontelle Indulyes lit Stron? Lan
guage in. His Speech on the'
Hawaiian Question.
'ess.
Associated Press,
Wa&lilngion, FeU 5. In the seniitu.
resolutions from the Massachusetts leg
islature protesting against the cotton
schedule of the Wilsori bill were pre
sented and referred.
The federal elections bill occupied the
entire session of the senate today. Mr.
Chandler concluded hia speech and was
followed by Palmer, who argued that
the law hnvlng onUrdy Jailed cf pur
pose, and being generally' obnoxious,
should be repealed. ; Palmer, in bis
speech, contrasted th attitude of the
republicans towards the negroes in the
south and the black nicn in the Ha
waiian Islands, as beif very solicitous
for the rights of the former, while in
the case of the latter they were only
concerned about white' supremacy. Frye
reviewed the history of the presidential
election of 18C8 ami"- ; the Tammany
frauds In New York city, and asserted
that Tammany was just as determined
to avail itself of a violation of the law
now as In 18C9.
IN THE IKiTJSE.
Washington, Feb.- u.-t-McGann, demo
crat, of Illinois, Uried jto secure unani
mous consent in the hpuse for the con
sideration of the resolution to investi
gate the action of Judge Jenkins In the
Northern Pacific railroad case, the em
ployes of which road had been enjoined
Itav .. ....
from striking, but objection was made.
The Hawaiian debate was resumed by
Morse, republican, of Massachusetts,
who had five minutes, but before he
had proceeded one, Outhwaite, demo
crat, of Ohio, called him to order for
unparliamentary language. The lan
guage to which Outhwaite objected was
as follows: "Strange to tell, at the com
mand of their master, the great Grover
Cleveland, his cuckoos in the house and
senate, staunch southern denjperats, the
loudest shoutere for a white man's gov
ernment, disregard all their ancient tra
ditions about white man's supremacy
and a white man's government." The
speaker ruled the language unparlia
mentary. In the meantime Morse's time
had expired.
When unanimous consent was refused
for consideration of the resolution it
was referred to the judiciary commit
tee. McGann says he will endeavor to
have that commit00 report back the
resolution at once. He would have se
cured the Immediate consideration it
the resolution today had it not been
for the objection of Outhwaite. The
latter explained to McGann that the
attendance In the house was too small
for consideration of such an important
subject. There is little doubt of a fav
orable report on it, with a provision
that the sub-committee of the judiciary
committee be authorized to prosecute
the investigation and send for persons
nad papers,
The Hawaiian debate again occupied
the attention of the house at the night
session, which was held for speeches by
those who desired to talk, but- who
otherwise would not have an opportuni
ty on account of tho limited time al
lowed. The debate Is attracting much
less attention in the house than antici
pated. This Is, perhaps, partly due to
the abondonment of the policy of res
toration 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; Iioutelle and Pat
terson, Of Tennessee, and Black, of
Illinois. "The honor of the American
name." said Boutelle. "Is being dragged
In the dust by Grover Cleveland, -Val-tr
a Gresham, James H. Illountand
Minister Willis. I have no words to ex
press my contempt for their policy of
treachery, duplicity and flsae pretpnse.
You on the other side cannot condone
this outrage; you eannot make this
heroic." He characterized Gresham as
a "disappointed, and apostate secretary
of state, who, in conjunction with the
president, sought not only to uproot
and overturn an American government,
but to degrade the American navy by
putting it under the control of Georgia
politicians in order to get some one who
would haul down the American flag.
(Applause. When that order was writ
ten, 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 a partisan, he might well glory and
gloat over the present policy of the
democratic party, which," he added,
amid republican appausel, "had been
spewed out by the American people."
He concluded with a glowing eulogy of
the American flag, reciting a few verses
of a' sort of apostrophe to the stars and
stripes, written by a native Hawaiian.
Ho was liberally applauded when he
took his scat.

ing Saturday night and Sunday tho in

water tank. It will not be bothered."
