PRIEST SUGGESTED
 ALASKA ID SEWARD

That Abraham Lincoln's great Sec retary of State. William H. Seward, Alaskas patron saint, conceived the idea of buying Alaska from Russia seven years before the purchase was actually consummated, and that his attention was first called to the Idea by a Catholic priest of the Jesuit or. der. an order that has contributed greatly to the civilization of this Ter ritory, Is a statement made by George Hazzard, of Tacoma, who was a Jun eau visitor last week
 Tt was In 1860 at the Merchants hotel, in St Paul, that Col. Allen, proprietor of the hotel at that time and for many years afterward, intro duced William H. Seward to a Jesuit priest. The introduction was made just before Mir, Seward was to ad- dress a meeting during his campaign ing tour in the interest of tie Presi' dential candidacy of Abraham Lin coin.
 Seward became so interested in the marvellous story of tue Jesuit mis- sionary, that he was late at the meeting, and had to be reminded that he was expected to address large assembiage that was anxiously await ing his appearance.
 Seward went to the meeting, and with the priests story fresh in his mind. that night he predicted that the United States would purchase Rus sian America and cause its develop ment into a great section of the Re public.
 "Mr. Seward lived to negotiate the purchase himself and to visit 1t. That he was pleased with the work accom- pllshed is testified to by the cir constance that shortly before his death he wrote that the greatest act of his life was the purchase of Alas ka, and the second greatest act was the attestation as Secretary of State of the Emancipation Proclamation Is sued by Abraham Lincoln"

RUSsIoN TROOPS
 ARE IN WEST

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-All indica- tions point to preparations by Great Britain to throw an enormous mass of Russian troops into France direct ly across the German line of connect ion. and reliable reports are that a large part of such force is already in Belgium and France. This new and practically unlimited supply of men is coming from Archangel and Eka- terina. on the Arctic Coast of Russia, around the North Cape of Norway and thence to the Firth of Forth and East England ports. From Leith and Hull the Russians have a clear, straight away railway run to the Channel, and can be landed at ostend. Calais, Hay re, Cherbourg or wherever, in fact, the immediate exlgencies demand. For the handling of the great army which Russia can supply, the prac- tically unlimited facilities of the Brit. ish transport service is available. Archangel, which has suddenly sprung into prominence as a point of em- barkation of Russian troops, Is dis tant from the North Cape not more than 4S hours steaming for England's fast transport steamers, and from North Cape the run can be made to Leith by those same vessels under moderate steaming in about 50 hours. Five days from Archangel to Leith may be regarded as a fair steaming run for England's fast troop ships. Archangel is in direct railway con nection with vologda to the south. The distance is 396 miles. From Vologda to Moscow is BOA miles, mak- ing a total distance from Moscow to Archangel of 700 miles, or less by 200 miles than the distance between New York and Chicago, and about the same distance between Paris and Berlin. The Archangel Railway is one of the great military strategic roads of Rus sia. It is the knowledge that the Russians are coming that has spurred the allies. doubtless. to maintain an unbroken line behind which the re- Inducements, of which Lord Kitchen CT has hinted but never spoken, may come up; reinforcement which may be regarded as unlimited in numbers so long as England's navy maintains command of the sea and through 1t can assure an open road from Arch. angel.-New York World.
