Boutelle Sprung the Questian and a Very Spirited Debate Took Place. ARRAIGNED THE ADMINISTRATION For th. Policy Pur.nod la Kipnl «• tin AlTatr — iloutell* Btcanu Some* what InioUnt in Hit R»* mark*. TVa-ftlngton, Aug. 9.—The Hawaiian queadon came to the front again in the house today, forming the subject of a mast spirited and Interesting 1 portion of the proceedings. Mr Boutelle raised it as a question of’privilege. He repu diated the reported imputation that in introducing a resolution recognizing tiie Hawaiian republic he had sought to obtain a partisan advantage of'the Republican party, but that he was desirous only,of maintaining the honor and dignity- of the government and of observing the unbroken conditions of the country and of congress. He crltl- (&Kd the failure of the committee on foreign affairs to act upon his resolu tions, and denounced the Hawaiian policy of the administration, especially ue last act, which he described as tne grudging, halting, secretive recog nition of the republic of Hawaii by the president. Mr. Boutelle arraigned the adminis tration for Its 'Hawaiian policy, and was receiving the applause of his Re publican associates, when Mr. Coombs (Democrat) of New York called him to order on the ground that he was not speaking on a question of privilege. Speaker Crisp sustained the point and rapped the gentleman from Maine to order. An excting colloquy between him and 'the speaker ensued, in the course of which the speaker said that Mr. (Boutelle from his long experience must know that he had gone beyond the limits of a piaster bf personal privi lege, and warned him that he could nut continuously violate the rules of tfte house. (Mr. Boutelle Insisted tjuif he had stated that the matter was a question not only of personal privilege, hut of the privilege <of the house, and asked the speaker to rule upon that point. Tne Speaker—The chair rules that the gentleman is out of order. IMr. Boutelle—Oh, the -speaker can refuse to hear. Before taking his sea t, Mr. Bob telle unsuccessuly endeavored to get Unani mous consent to move that the com mittee on foreign affairs be discharged from the further consideration of his resolution, anUthat they be considered by the bouse. The bill to Increase the efficiency of the mintla came up again And gave rive to a discussion, in which the're cent riots In Chicago were referred to. 'Mr. Flthian (Democrat) of Illinois cr.ticized President Cleveland's order (mending federal troops ro Chicago. Mr. Cannon (Republican) of Illinois sitt that nb one would question the fact that on an Indorsement of astute hw the power of state authorities was plenary, and that ' the president would be regarded as an interloper unless he were requsted to act by the governor or legislature. * But in the recent it -ut.lea in Chicago the situation was that the decrees of the United Sts tfc • < 'arts wtre interfered with and the interstate law violated la Its ovfry sec tion. When the president called out the federal troops 'to enforce federal laws the 'Democrats said: “God bless him for his courage and fidelity," and the Republicans, glad of an opportu nity to commend a Democratic execu tive for doing his duty, said "Amen." '•'If my colleague (Mr. Flthian) de sires to make this an Issue," said Mr. Cannon, “in the approaching election In our state, well and good. Ho will find the Republicans standing by a Democratic president for performing his sworn duty.” (Applause.) Mr. Dunn (Democrat) oi New Jersey opposed the bill. He said the restric tions placed upon the u&e of the mili tia by the fathers of the country-should be observed. He deprecated the at tempts of the federal government to grasp the power reserved to the states. To a question by Mr. Hepburn (Republican) of Ohio, Mr. Dunn said he knew that the government had pro tected certain industries at the ex pense of the other, and thereby vio lated the constitution. (Democratic ap plause.)* Mr. Flthian (Democrat) of Illinois said he was n*>t surprised at he posi tion taken by iMr. Cannon. It was the eirae that had been taken by the Re publican party ever since it was or ganized. As to Governor Altgfld’s action In the recent troubles. Sir. FithIan said. It had been In exact ac cordance with that of every governor of the state. Republican or Democrat. The mate, he declared, was able to maintain peace and order wltthinn Us borders without the Interference of fed- sral troops or authorities. "I love peace and order,” 'Mr. Flthian said, "but I also love the constitution and laws of my country, and I haie to see them violated toy the president or. anybody else." The hour expired and, without ac tion, the bill went over. The epecla* order adopted yeseerday was called up, •nd the house under it proceeded. In committee of the whole, to consider bV.ts on the private calendar reported from the committee on claims. Btt were passed, and the house, at 4:50 ad journed until tomorrow. IN THE SENATE. Nothing of Interest Transpired In Yes terday's Brief Session. Washington, 'Aug. 9.—The senate •eeras to have reached that condition of apathy and weariness that unfVt* it for any serious legislative business which is not connected with the final disposition of the tariff bill and th*» wmdlng up of the long session. To day's sluing came to a close at 1:40 o clock and a part of'the thne h »d he* n g-ven to the consideration of executive business. Nothing of any public intar- **t marked th<- brief legfstattre day. The house bill to repeal in part and w limit a section of the revised stat ute under which bounty land war- Mats-are refused to ex-soldiers of the Mexican war who afterwards served in the Confederate army gave rise to some discussion. Mr. George (Demo crat) of Mississippi, who moved to take the bill from tne calendar, explained its purposes and said that it would apply to very few persons. That view of the case was contradicted by Mr. Platt (Republican) of Oonnectlcutt, who raid that the bill would apply, not to a few, but to thousands of such old jMexIoan soldiers and their heirs. He confessed his surprise that there should be an ait tempt to take up measures and rush them through, in which, all hoped, would be the closing hours of the session. These old Mexican soldiers had been treated generously. They had been given pensions, even though they had not been Sixty days In ser vice ami had never seen the enemy. Tnese bills were simply to give them In addition land warrants which would be worth $20 In ca3h. He moved to postpone the bill fill the first Monday 1-n December next. Mr. Hill remarked that the bill sim ply removed legislative punishment from a few old men. The discussion was Interrupted by a motion submitted by (Mr. Gray (Demo crat) of Delaware to proceed to the consideration of the executive business, and trt 1:10 o'clock the galleries were Cleared and an executive session en tered on. At 1:40 o'clock the senate ad journed until tomorrow. RAISED THE NOTES. Alabama Sharpers Changed One Dol lars Into Tens and Twenties. Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 9.—T2US indriMig three men, named Alex. Bar ley, Wash Hudson and Wilburn Halg- ler of Barbour county, were tried be fore the United States commissioner on the charge of passing one-dollar nates that were raised to tens and twenties. Haigler proved that he came in possession of the twenty-dollar note that he passed in course of trade in his store. Hudson is a son-in-law of Bar ter/ ami it was admitted by both that Hilda m received the notes on which the arrests were made from Barler. Hudson was bound in the sum of $300 to answer at court. He proved a good character, gave bond and was released. Barler did not explain where he re ceived the money. He was bound over in the sum of $500 and in default of bond was committed to jail. A number of bills raised from one to ten and twenty-dollor notes have re cently appeared i!n this part of the state. .The work was bungUngly done.

His last known appearance in the state was In this city a few weeks ago, whore, he left several of his false ten and twenty- dollar notes. BLIHEFIELDS. American and British Soldiers Landed to Protect Property. 'Washington, August 9.—The acting secretary of the navy received n dis patch today from Capt. Sumner, com manding the Columbia, which wan tel egraphed (from New Orleans on the arri val of yesterday's steamer from Blue- Ae4de, Oapt. Sumner's report Is excep tionally brief. He says he has landed quite a force from the two American ships and that men have also been bulled from the British war vessels. The American force will be maintained ashore as long as affairs are unsettled. He sa^ he does not anticipate any sfe- rioita trouble and seems to look for n speedy termination of the difficulty be tween the Nlcaraoiguans on the one side and the Mosquito Indians and negroes on the other. The Impression is-gained by naval officers from the dispatch at the Nlcarauaunns who have noiir con centrated a considerable force nt Broe- fields will continue masters of the sit uation. and that very little resistance will. In the future, be offered by the supporters of Chief Clarance. It Is thought likely that either the Marble head or Columbia will be relieved from duty on the Masquito.coast in the course of a week or ten days. HEADY FOR ADJOURMENT.

Drydon, who, after refusing to resign when re quested to do so by Secretary Carlisle, was yesterday dfflcjilly dismissed from office, says freewill not leave without a fight. : 'K necessary, l will carry the case to the supreme court of the United States,” he said toda. Mr. Drydon has been Shipping com missioner at Baltimore for three years. About a year ago Mr. Carlisle called for his resignation but Drydon flatly refused to resign, claiming that he bad properly discharged his duties aud the secretary had no power to remove him. The officials of the treasury department looked up their authority under the law and got an opinion from the attor ney-genera. 1 The department is con vinced that Secretary Carlisle has a perfect right to remove a shipping corn- DJissioder, and Mr. Albert C. Klrwln, who wns appointed yesterday, received his commission this nJorntng. He will attempt to take, charge of the office Monday, when there will probably be ”s battle royal.” LUMBERMEN MEET.

KOLB’S LEADERS TO THE PEOPLE They Held a Conference and Formu. iated an* AddroAs to the Public. * DETAILS OF GIGANTIC FRAUDS They Are Sore Over Their Defeat mad a Mighty Wait la Heard Through out the Ranke of the Popu list Party. Birmingham, Aug. 9.—The conference of Kolb leaders which convened yes terday, finished their labors today. They have been consulting on the sit uutiou and discussing a plan of action. The following address to the people was given out this afternoon as the re sult of their labors: "To the People of Alabama: The campaign committee o>a Jeffersonian Democracy and the People’s party of Alabama have been instructed by a con fcronce of our state candidates, the leading supporters of that ticket, and the state executive committee to pro mulgate . the 1 olio wing: The election returns,-ns reported by the Assoc.uteri Press and supporters of the ticket headed by Col. Oates, show a repetition of election frauds of 1892, with less pro- text and absolutely without the least semblance of Justification, In order to overcome legitimate majorities of our ticket In lorty-one white counties. These false and fraudulent majorities aggregate 34,107 from fifteen black belt counties. In 1892 these same black belt bounties aggregated majorities of 23,009. In addition to this, frauds have been perpetrated in white coun ties of not less than fifteen thousand. W*th the consummation of these has also been brought forth four or five fraudulently elected senators and eleven or twelve fraudulently elected repre sentatives In Uie general assembly. This outrageous action, intensified by the impudence and effrontery with which It has been taken, displays a disregard of public sentiment in such a brazen-faced manner that It seems to have been intended to add Insult to In jury. •The law under which the election of 1892 wus held, which was devised to assure the prevention of fraud'with ease, fucillty and safety, has been- amended by the Sayre law, the pur poses of which were to dlsfrnncli.HU Illiterate voters aud to ussure the per- 1 pet ration of greater frauds in the black belt counties. This has been demonstrated by the election Just held, and us wife known and intended by tho usurper who exercises tho functions of governor, illustrated by his 'remark when he signed that bill. A contest law wasrproiii.scd to allay and prevent a popular uprising in 1892, to be broken ih the^hiost sh&lncful manner, aud tho perfidy and treachery displayed was afterwards'boasted of us a fine piece of legerdemain. ”We admonish our pebple not to ac cept promises nor pledges from those who have proven themselves recreant to every requirement of law, to every demand of honor and to every exaction of duty. They demonstrated that they are enemies to liberty and republican Institutions. In the face of .the fact that only a few months ago the opposi tion declined to submit to a state pri mary, In which only white voters ehouid participate, -whioh was after wards so amended as to meet their supposed wishes by eliminating wlhte Republicans, which they declined to accept upon a specious ’ excuse tha* was an afterthought and perlle, com bined with the fact that only 42,000 were (polled In the state primary that brought out the full strength of that pairty, they now claim, urge and In sist upon the most extravagant and ridiculous figures as correct and true. "The condition In this state has reached a c’-imax. There is no doubt that the state ticket /leaded by Capt. R. F. Kolb has been elected. The al ternative is presented of submission to wrong, Insult and robbery, or to as sert the sovereign power before which thrones totter, sceptres fall and the outrages of the'tyrants cease. That al ternative must meet a response from manhood or silent submission from those unworthy of citizenship. A proud and chivalrous people, worthy of free dom, cannot shirk the responsibilities the situation enforces. A distinguished patriot has asserted ‘that the man who will not fight for his liberty Is un worthy of freedom.’ IVe do not advise fighting or lawlessness of any kind, but th*- crisis h.is arisen which deni:inrl.-« that the sovereign puwer shall assert Itself to compel unworthy servants of lta will to submit to its power and rec ognize its authority. “Your committee recognizes that ft has been entrusted with certain duties and that Its powers are circumscribed, and It feels authorized only in going to the extent of advising and urging those whom it represents to exercise the power vested in them and to hold meetings on Thursday, the 23d day of August, at the respective court houses, ff not otherwise specified, to act upon this great crisis and to insist that man hood, patriotism and love of liberty, whch has always invoked prompt and decisive action from them, shall find expression In their course that will be creditable to their revolutionary sires and furnish a precedent in our history to which all Will ever revert with pride and satisfaction. At the same time and place we would urge the organization of law and 'order league* to uphold the supremacy of that greatest of all law an-1 power, the soveregn will of a free people.

HARRIS Frank -1*. Knight Receive* n Majority of Volvo For Coroner—Tltroe County * Precincts to Hear From—Mr. flail Will Conteat. With Warrior, Hasxrd and Rutland to hear from, the vote In yesterday’s loglsla- tlvc primary stands as follows; Polhlll, *,497 Modgfcf, l.m. Bolfeulllet. 1.175. Washington, 1.030. Hall, 903. Bayne, 313. The returns from the three districts above named will not change the result, and Bibb’s three representative! in tho next legi.daturo will be Hon. Hope Pel- hill, Hon. Robert Hodges and Hon. John T. Bolfeu&let. Hon. N.‘ 10. Harris was wlthoat opposi tion in the .etata senatorial race, and polled a large Ydte, which could not be coi'SolldatM last night. Mr. Frank Knight is’ in all probability nominated coroner, as the vote* la tho city predicts give him handsome' ma jorities. ahr*. William Parker will be second, with probably Dr. Ferguson third. The actual figures cannot be given, how ever, until the vote Is consolidated tt the court grouse at 12 o'clock today. The election was In 'every rewpect a O.ulet one, notwithstanding that the candi dates and their friends worked hard and unceasingly all* day and that every Inch if ground was closely contested. Never before haB there been an election held in this county where the result was so doubtful and where even the oldest and shwredest politicians were unable to name the winners win a th,.- i»>Iim closed. Every, body knew that Mr. Polhlll was leading the ticket, but between Messrs. Bolfeull- let, Washington and Hall It was abso lutely impossible to tell, and one seemed as much a winner us the other. Nothing but tho official count at tho various pre- rincts could convince tho candidates and friends ot the candidates of the result. The vote will be several hundred lighter than In the lost legislative primary, which shows somebody of a lack of Interest on the part of tho people. But, after all, It wan somewhat heavier than was peeted. Hon. N. E. Harris received almost the entire vole cast for state senator as very little scratching was done. Very little "single shotting” was en gaged in; as a • majority of voters cast their b illots for three candidates. Everything was quiet and orderly about the pollH and throughout the city, nnd, taken all in all, it was one or the most peaceable and orderly elections ever held In the county. The official vote for the legislature re ceived' last night stands as follows: Court House..., City Hall East Macon.... Findlay’s ..... Godfrey Howard .........

The Telegraph building was stampeded from early In the evening until .'ate at i lght by eager voters, who thrlstcd for news from the polls. After the returns had come In and It had been made known who the fortunate candidates were, the crowd m&embled In front of the Mulberry street entrance to tho Telegraph building, bent on having a little speech-making At the roll call, Col. Polhlll was found to be the only nopilnce to answer to Ids name. Ho mounted u large box and told the peoplo Just what was und what he would do us their representative. He spoke with less evident emotion than tne groat honor conferred upon so young n man might have warranted, and made every one of his constituents glad that they had cast their suffrage for him. He was followed by Col. John R. L. Smith, his former law partner. Col. Smith was so lustily yelled for that ne had nothing left but to mount the box and say something. He spoka eloquently of the worthiness of his friend anJgratu. Iated the people that they had selected him os one of their representatives In the legislature. Col. Minter Wimberly was next to be hoisted upon the box. He spoke for sc - oral minutes, telling the people that*they had done well In nominating SJcshth. Hoi* hill, lioifeulllct and Flo'ige*, and this in no wise disparaging V5 the merit and ability of the gentlemen who were de feated. Taken all together. It was Just the kind of primary that the people of illbtf love to have no ill feeling, but plenty ot snap and ginger around the polls. WHO THEY ARE. Hon. Hope Polhlll, who leads the ticket, was born In Mitchell county, (Ja., Novem ber 21, on hi* father’s plantation, three mile* from Camilla, and afterwards moved to Macon, where he rosined one year. From Macon he wept with his father to Rome, where his father founded the school that afterwurd* became bhorler College. From Rome ho moved to At- I inta, where his mother died, after which he adopted by that noble-hearted woman. Ml** Jo* Varner of Indian Kprlng.f :>Vf terv. a rds, however, he went w*»h his father to Russellville, In Monroe o nly, where he lived on the farm for ten yeara, plowing a little unruly bull by day and studying at night. While on the farm he attended school when crops were laid by. It wa* while a farmer boy that he first began to exhibit those sturdy trail* that have characterized his man- h t'A and have placed him Jn th* front rank of Georgia’s young men. Whilo re siding at Russellville he taught school an i saved enough money to pay hi* board i!!e attending the .State University, to which he went In 1886. The first year at college proved the true mettle In hi* make up, and hi* high standing In n:^ atudfea entitled nlm to the Joe Brown fund for ■ remainder -of hi- »tnv. In 1884 he graduated and was Immediately eb.-» principal of HTmard Institute at Forsyth, ■vhefe he taught one year and then «*n- t< r- l the law school at the State Uni versity, from which tf.- eradoated In June,. *.&30, and Immediately <'arn^ to 51 *• on snd began to practice,. Since coming lo Macon few young kiwyerr have been more suc cessful than he, and none have ormde a better numo for high character, honesty and Integrity. Hi* ability la unquestioned aud lila standing in the community strongly attested by the large number ox votes he received yesterday. In the full of 1891 Mr. Fomill married Miss Van Hooso of Gainesville, a most estimable young lady, who is entitled to much of the honor bestowed on her hus band in the present campaign. HON. ROBERT HODGES. Mr. Robert Hodges was born In Macon, March 9, 1808, thus making him a little more than 2U years old. He graduated ut what Is now known as Gresham High School In 1382, taking second honor. in : October of tho same year ho entered the Sophmore class at Emory College, remain ing there until he hud completed his Junior course, in October, 1884, he entered the Senior class at Mercer University ana graduated from that Institution in 1885, with the envious record of being tne youngest graduate that ever left Mercer. During the summer of 1885 Mr. Hodges taught school In Chattahoochee county, and came back to Macon In tho same j'ear and read lanv under Col. Isaac Hardeman and Dessau & Bartlett He was admitted to the bar In Perry, Houston county, in October, 1885, after standing an examina tion of eight horn', duration in obtn court and tried and won his first cana two aaya after being admitted to the b-tr. Mr. Hodges then returned to Macon and was admitted to practice in the superior court of Georgia and tihe federal court in the same year. About this time he formed a co-partnership with Hon. R. W. Pat terson, which co-partnership lasted bne year, being dissolved by mutual consent in June. 1888. When Judge Ross was made Judge of tho city court, his first official act was ^o appoint Bob Hodges solicitor- general of his court. 5uia appointment lasted during tho yeorYSW, since which time Bob Hodges has come to bo known os one of the brightest l£fcal lights of the many that practice at the Macon bar. In 1892 Mr. Hodge* was elected to the legislature, receiving n larger vote than any of his competitors. His record in the legislature is one of which any young man might well feel proud, and as a member of tho Judiciary committee lie did much that would have been a credit to the oldest law makers. Bob Hodges has been designated the Bantam Rooster of Bitrtx and by this oognomen he Is known throughout the state. Bibb's Interests are safe In his hands. HON. JOHN T. BOIfEUiLLET. Hon. John Theodore Bolfeulllet was horn In Macon thirty-six yeafs ugo. Journal ism! has been his profession sortto years.

Ho was first elected to the legislature In 1890, and led the ticket several hundred majority over a number of competitors. He was re-elected in 1892, after a red-hot contest, and on yesterday was elected for the third time In one-of tho‘most exciting and hard- fought oampalgrfs over witnessed In this county. AH of Mr. Boifeulllot's elections have been brilliant personal triumphs. 1 In 1892 Mr. Bolfeulllet was elected speaker pro tem of the house, and discharged the duties of the position so acceptably that his mvrne Is being generally and favorably mentioned for speaker of the next house. In addition lo speaker pro tem of th* lu*t legislature, Mr. Bolfeulllet was cbslrrroin of the special and Important committee on the hank* of Isaue. He also held an other chairmanship, and was a member of the finance and other Important com mittees . He Is recognized as one of tho ablest journalists in tho state, and nlSo bears tho reputation of being a parlia mentarian with few equals. No man in tho state is better versed In tile Issues that will como before the next legisla ture.- and no- man Is better equipped and more aJblo to meet them. He will be a candidate for the speakership, and from all parts of tho stato has received prom ises of support. There'are few* young men In the state as popular as Mr. Bolfeulllet, and he Is generally regarded as one of the coming men of Georgia. WILL CONTEST. The Telegraph was informed last night by ono of the candidates that Mr. Joe Hall had notified him as a candidate that he would contest the electron, but on what ground ho did not say.
