The Purchase Of Alaska.

Russia owned Alaska by right of
discovery in 1741 and by continued
possession. 1t was of little value to
her and not coveted by any other ma
ton. 1t is not definitely known when
the cession of Alaska to the United
States was first proposed, but in
1859 the United States offered $5,-
100000 for it and the offer was de-
clined. In 1866 it began to be feared
that England might get possession
of it and the negotiation for its pur-
chase was renewed, resulting in Rus
sia's acceptance OF an offer of ST.
100000. This was the real pur-
chase price, but our government
agreed to pay 100000 additional
for certain land grants and conces-
sions held by Russian trading COM
panies. The treaty Of sale was sign
ed March 80, 1867; ratified by the
senate April 9 and proclaimed by the
president June 20. But it was yet
to be paid for and the house OF rep
resentatives baked a little at the
price. The country was popularly
supposed to be a land of polar bears
and icebergs and its value in gold
and coal was unknown. The house
finally passed the necessary appro-
priation bill July 27, 1858, and the
deal was closed. Kindly feeling to-
wards Russia for friendship for US
during the civil war had much to do
in securing the passage Of the ap-
propriation ill.-Indianapolis News.

for suckers being set over near the

suckers to be caught in large num-
