THE ALASKA BILL AGAIN TAKEN UP.
The House then went into Committee OF the Whole,
Mr. Garfield In the chair, and resumed the consdera-
ton OF the bill appropratng $500 900 TO carry into
effect the treay for the acquisition OF Russian
America.
Mr. MAYNARD, (rapJ OF Tenn, addressed the com
mttee In advocacy OF the bill, contendng that the
treating making power restricted TO the Presi-
dent and senate and that the House had no revi-
sorry power over treaties Referring to the fact OF
Representatives In relation TO Jays treaty, he said
Washington was overruled on question OF constitu
nona law by the mere force OF numbers so was the
Saviour Of the world oyerruled; 80 was Socrates
ovcrruled, were Luther and Calico overruled,
and 50 were the great masters OF thought In all
times oyerrued by mere numbers. Washington was
overruled less emphaticay than they.
Mr., MYERS, gepl Of Pa, followed in support of
House Of Representatives 10 be consulted In refer
ence TO treaties for the acquisition OF territory. He
In favor OF ratifing this treaty for the acquis
lion Of Russian America. The possession OF Alaska
he regarded as a question OF national power. He
thought there was no doubt that Russia having re.
not carried out Immediately sell tito another Power.
and there was little doubt that Great Britain would
be a ready purchaser. lie reminded the House that
the objections as TO the worthessness OF Alaska
were not original. The same objections had been
made 10 the Territory OF Louisiana, TO California and
TO every other Territory acquired 10y purchase by the
United States.
Mr.. BANKS remarked In reply to al observation
made by Mr.. Williams, OF Pa. to his colleague Mr.
Myers) that the American government had ON two
previous occasions-once under Mr. Van Buren's
administration and once under Mr. Buchanan's-
offered s5Oo0O0O for the same territory which oer
Russia had refused The matter had also bceu dis
cussed during MIR. Folks administration
Mr.. FERRIS, rep OF y. Y, referred 10 an Execu.
tive document to snow that Russia had twice offered
the territory 10 the United states, but said he could
not find particle Of evidence that the United States
had ever applied TO Russia for 10.
Mr. BaSKs repeated his statement
Mr.. MYERS resumed his argument IN favor OF the
bill.
Mr. FERRIS addressed the committee In opposition
Ia the bill. lie inquired OF Mr. Banks whether ne

the harbor Of New York before the battle OF Vicks.

made In that connection yesterday.
Mr.. BANKS said he was not positive as 70 the time
but that he had not meant 10 he understood A.
