This territory extends from the north line of British Columbia in 54° 40', whence the line ascends Portland Channel to the Mountains, following their summits, nearly parallel with the coast, to the 141st meridian, thence along that meridian to the Arctic Ocean; the west line returns from some unknown point in that ocean, down through Behring Strait, thence diagonally west of St. Lawrence Island, to longitude 193° (or 167° east), and thence on the line of latitude to the place of beginning. The peninsula of Aliaska, and the long line of islands reaching nearly to Kamschatka, are included. There are about 6,000 Russians in the Territory, and probably 50,000 Indians. WEST INDIA ISLANDS. Arrangements have been made (but not confirmed by Congress) for the cession to the United States of the Dani h islands of St. Thomas and St. John's, the consideration being about the same as that for Russian America. The King of Denmark leaves the question ultimately to the people of the islands, who are to decide by ballot on or about the 18th of January, 1868.
