IN THE HOUSE.
Reeds Rank Ruiings-The Indian War
Fought Over Again.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-In the house
today the approval of the journal occu-
pied half an hour.
Springer of Illinois. rising to ques-
tion of privilege, offered a resolution
condemning the speakers conduct in
deciding that a motion to be dilatorv
was unlawful.
Mckinley OF Ohio made the point OF
order that the resolution was not a
privileged one, the speaker having ex-
ercised his right under the rules to de-
eide motion to be diatory.
The speaker did not think that the
action of the chair in deciding a motion
to be out of order on the ground that it
was dilaiory, could be made question
Of privilege. He therefore sustained the
point Of order.
Springer appealed, and Mckinley
moved to table the appeal. The motion
was agreed to-yeas, 1873; navs, 1O5.
The speaker laid before the house
message from the president, vetoing the
bill authorizing Oklahoma to issue
bonds to railway companies.
A bill was passed for railway bridge
over the Missouri river between toun-
Gil Bluffs and Omaha.
The house went into committee of the
whole on the military academy appro-
priation bill. In the course of the gen.
eral debate, Rogers, of Arkansas, re-
ferred to the recent Indian war as un-
provoked and indefensible, and the
Wounded Knee affair as the most
shameful murder in the annals of our
history.
Flower favored searching investiga-
tiOn into the causes of the Indian
trouble.
Peel. of Arkansas, and Cutcheon, of
Michigan, defended the army, and
courted thorough investigation.
After some talk by Spinola and Bland
on the force bill, the committee rose
and the house adjourned.

The saprsns Court Has No yurisdietion
IN the Naeeer.

In the Matter.
WAsmNGroN, Jan. 27.-The brief OF
General Miller in reply to the
application of the Canadian government
for writ Of prohibition in the case Of
the w. p. Sayward, libelled for catching
seal in the Bering sea, was fled with the
supreme court today. The position of
the United States government is thus
stated briefly: The government of the
United States opposes the filing of the
petition for writ of prohibition to the
district court of Alaska in this case for
the following reasons: First, that the
supreme court has no power in any case
to issue writof prohibition to the Sitka
court, because it is not district court of
the United States, being merely terri
torial court.
He argued further: The question
which the petitioners seek to present
cannot be raised on the record of the
admiralty proceedings fled with the
supreme court. because the face of these
proceedings show jurisdiction in the
Alaska court, and after sentence in such
causes is heard, prohibition will not
issue.
In concluding his argument, the at
| torney general held that, conceding all
the facts averred in the petition, the
question of the jurisdiction Of the Alas.
kan court depends upon the extent OF
the dominion of the United States in
the Bering sea. This he maintained is
a political question, to be decided by
the political department of the govern.
ment, the executive and congress, both
of which have decided against the petit
toners contention, and this decision he
held must be conclusive upon the judic-
iary.
No consideration, whatever, the at
torney general said, had been given in
his answer to the question of Internal
ional law, which now is, and has been
for the past six years, subject OF diplo-
matte correspondence between Great
Britain and the United States, with ref
erence to the right OF this country to as.
sert territorial jurisdiction in the Berine
sea, to the extent of protecting its seal
fisheries beyond the three mile limit
ordinarily fixed as the boundary of the
territorial jurisdiction of countries Dor.
dering on the sea. Such question, the
attorney general respectfully insisted, is
not within the recognizance OF the SUI
preme court, and he therefore did not
discuss it.
Cclderon, Carlisle and Choate argued
in opposition to the attorney-general's
argument. The court adjourned before
the arguments were finished.
