AT THE CABINET MEETING this afternoon the
case of Mr.. Bellows, son of DR.. Bellows, of New
York, was discussed. He was formerly pay
master in the navy, and was diSch arged some
years ago, wrongfully, he claims. The Cabinet
seemed to side with him and he will be restored
to the navy. A question at issue between Col
lector Ball, Of Sitka, and commander Beardsley,
of the jamestown, was settled. There are
no land laws for Alaska, and the collector
has been making records OF all lands surveyed
and entered by settlers, and some OF the land
occupied by the men from the jamestown for
drilling and other purposes were thus taken"
The Cabinet decided that the collector was
wrong, and that this land should not be inter
fered with. ---,r.-
