The minimum sum named by the | quid nuncs as having been expended in this | way is s20,000, while some allege that the Russian Government only realized one million sterling after the business was completed. The gossipers profess to give the precise sums al- | lotled to the various parties concerned im belping the purchase through, as, for instance, thirty thousand dollars to an ex-Secretary of the Treasury, who wrote very long and exhansiive articles tor some of the papers show- ing the sdvantagcous nature of that purchase.
