Russian America.

The Russian possessions IN America,
which are offered for sale to the Uni-
ted States for seven millions dollars,
are comprised in the peninsula which
forms the extreme northwestern sec
ton of the continent with numerous
islands on the coast. A narrow strip
not more than thirty miles wide, OK
tends down the coast from latitude 90
to $40, shutting out British Ameri-
ca from the sea for that distance. The
area of the country is computed at
4Sl, 576 square miles. The western
coast is of mountainous character,
while that of the Artic Ocean is fiat
and but few feet above the sea level.
The interior of the country is very
imperfectly known, but the climate is
far too rigorous TO admit of agricultu
raj operations, and the whole value OF
the territory and its adjacent seas is
derived iron their fisheries and hunt
ing grounds. The whole of this coun.
try has been granted to a Russian
fur company, which, in 1899, had then
six hunting and fishing establishments
These are all dependent on the Brit
ish for supplies, the English having
by treaty acquired the exclusive righ
of supplying the Russian posts Will
agricultural produce and provisions
The population is estimated at $4,000
souls OF these about 1000 are Russ
iaus, $500 Creoles and 10000 native
of the Kurile, Aleutian and Konial
islands. The remainder are Esqui
maux, who enjoy a greater or less de
gree Of independence. New Archange
in the island of Sitka, is the principa
port The annual export of the fu
company is estimated at 1000
seals, 1000 sea otter, $1,000 beaye
and $500 land otter, fox AMI marie
skins, and about 10000 sea hors
teeth. Commercially speaking, til
country is hardly worth accepting a
gift.

absolutely intolorable to us. We can
not endure n state Of society in which
the commonest liberties of all men arc
suspended.
We are unable to contend with ON
oppressors in arms, and we turn to the
