Stars and Stripes First Raised in Alaska
Now Preserved Here by the Government

One evening in March, 1867. at the
home of Secretary Seward a game of
whist was in progress when the Rus
sian Minister was announced. He had
come to report an important message,
and stated it as follows:
Il have dispatch from my govern
ment by cable. The Emperor gives his
consent to the cession of Russian
America. Tomorrow, If you like, I will
come to the Department of State and
we can enter upon the treaty"
Seward replied: "Why wait until to-
morrow? Let us make the treaty to-
night, Mr.. Stoeckl"
But your department is closed
You have no clerks and my secretaries
are scattered about town."
Never mind that" rejoined Seward
IF you can muster your legation to-
gether before midnight. you will find
me awaiting you at the department,
which will be open and ready for
business"
The Department of State in Wash
ington then occupied little two-story
building at Fifteenth street and Penn
sylvania avenue-where the Treasury
Building now stands.

the slow dignity with which she had
risen to overwhelm Sorby. You're
selling my house." she cried.
ITO some Pittsburgh people. They
think it's great: they appreciate it.
They'll keep it up like a museum, just
the way you'd like it."
You can't sell this house." she
For the first time Robinson's calm
was a little ruf1led by this, but he only
said: "Now, look here, Clarissa, 1
must do what think best"
But I know what Is best for you
to do, Robinson. You admit that?"
Robinson did not admit it, and
Clarissa was for the second time
deeply wounded.
The inevitable result was that they
launched into bitter argument. one
of those marital disputes which are not
merely the present conflict, but in
which the ghosts of all previous dis
putes arise like an army with banners
and rally to both sides. Silly. ordi-

the Russian Fur Co. held some fran

linquishment of these and all other
claims in any form there was added
two hundred thousand. making to-
tai of seven million two hundred thou
sand as the purchase price of the ter
ritory from Russia, to be paid in gold
within 10 months.
1t was almost dawn of the following
day when the treaty was signed and
sealed. This was Saturday, March so,
1867.
In order to have the treaty acted
upon before the adjournment of Con-
gress, near at hand, it was necessary
to hasten it's introduction.
Charles Sumner of Massachusetts
was the chairman of the Senate com
mittee on foreign relations, and he
gave the force of his influence as we'll
as the best powers of his oratory to
winning over the opposing faction to
the approval by the Senate Of the
treaty. There was a stormy debate.
There were many in the Senate an
taconistic to the purchase but in the
end the treaty was confirmed.

significance in giving the high lights
Of his service rendered.
This question was put to William Fl.
Seward at dinner given in his honor
when he was retiring from the office
of Secretary of State, which he had
held during those critical years when
the Union was struggling to hold to-
gether.
Secretary Seward replied to this
question, unhesitatingly: THE pur
chase of Alaska. But it may take two
generations before the purchase is ap-
preciated.'
Time Is proving his words prophetic.
1t Is only within the last few years
that the public generally has become
interested in this vast possession of
Uncle Sam s-a possession whose area
is about one-sixth Of all the States
combined.
Before the purchase by the United
States the country was known as
Russian America. Among the natives
it was spoken of as "Al-ak- shak," :"
meaning "a great country" From
this was derived the name Alaska.
Russian America had been rather
casually considered once or twice be-
fore as of possible advantage in ex-
tending our coast territory. But not
until the close of our Civil War was
any definite action taken to bring this
about. The purchase was then made
with but little delay. The interesting
story is told of how this came about.

December, 1868, at his home. which
was then on the east side Of Lafayette
Square, site now occupied by one of
the theaters In Washington.
AS Seward took the flag, 1t was
with great satisfaction that he said:
"Well, that work is finished. You
boys go around to- the Willard Hotel
and stay for q month. Send the bill
to the State Department"
During the so years and more since
then many changes have occurred.
AS time went on, the flag was mislaid

ment for this flag that strengthened
with the passing years. II was
through his efforts that search was
instituted for it. The first attempt
was not successful, but after making
a second thorough search it was found
in the basement of the state Depart
ment, where it had been stored years
ago, probably when the department
moved into its present building in
1919. There with other things of

conversation between Secretary Sew
ard and the Russian Minister, there
assembled all those necessary for the
transaction of arranging the details of
the treaty. That midnight session
brought the realization of Stewards
long-cherished dream of territorial ex-
pansion.
The purchase price was based on
what had been paid for territory pre-
viously acquired from France, Spain
and Mexico by treaty.
The Russians asked ten millions and
considered that reasonable price.
Secretary Seward offered five millions.
After much discussion. the price
