THE ALASKA PURCHAsg.-There has been
considerable gossip afioat lately in giTd to
the way the Alaska purchase was consum-
mated, and il ruroT were to be believed, a
very large sum was expended by somebody in
the way of lobby purposes to pat the pu rchase
through. The minimum sum named by the
quid nuncs as having been expended in this
way is S20hOOO, while some ailege that the
Russian Government only realized one million
sterling after the business was coInpleted The
gossIpers profess to give the precise sums al
lotted to the various parties concerned In
helping the purchase through, as, for instance,
thirty thousand dollars to an ex-Secretary
OF The treasury, who wrote very long and
exhaustive articles for some OF the papers show
ing the advantageous nature Of that purchase
III Is stated IN the same way that certain papers
IN New York snd elsewhere got ten thousand
dollars apiece in gold Tor their advocacy of the
purchase and various other parties are named
as bavlng received sums varying from ten to
twenty thousand dollars. Now these things
are stated with the utmost posItiyeness, and
yet when we come 10 analyze them it is easy TO
see how improbable they really are. Taking
tue most jaundiCed view of human nature. and
coneeding that tsUch things have been Done and
may be done again, the question comes up
where the money comes from to purchase all
these strikers in behalf of the Great Purchase.

to Texas after putting the proceeds OF the
sale OF fle stock into their pockets. The alleged
fraudulent drm consisted Of father and two sons.
The creditors OF the firm became enraged at the
TRANSACTION tht they entered into 10 combination to
nay the expenses OF bringing the alleged offenders
up from Teyss, and f,eing lawyers to prosecute
them for infracon OF the laws Of the State OF New

all the proceedings are not yet fully before
the court we withhold the names OF the accused;
but we ray state that the action taken in
this matter 5G the New York creditors Of the ncul-
pated individuals has been initiated more for the
purpose Of furnishing the perpetrators Of the alleged
fraud than OF recovering tho amount Of their respect
