Cabinet Meeting.

WASHINGTON. March 26. Every mem
ber of the cabinet was present Friday
when the president at II :35 a. m. called
the cabinet to order. Mr.. Blaine, who
has been confined to his house for a
month, met with warm reception and
was congratulated upon his recovery.
The grave situation with Great Brit
ain was discussed in all it's phases and
possible contingencies, and in general
way the line of action to be followed in
the case of hostilities.

sion hat tla United States could not
afford 10 lroat Great Britain any differ
entity from what il did Clili, because of
any alleged superiority OF its navy. The
report that th3 English squadron had
been ordered 10 proceed to Behring sea
was mentioned and commented on in
this connection.
There was 10 violence in the discus
sion at any time. it is said, bat q deep
earnestness horn OF the serious possibili-
ties that confronted the senate One
thing was made manifest, which was
that anything the president determined
to do for the protection of the seal and
the maintenance of our claims, pending
arbitration, would meet the approval If
the senate.
These nators, unanimously it is said,
expressed qualification at the manner in
which the correspondence had been
conducted on the part of the United
States, believing that the position and
contentious of this government had
been most admirably presented and
maintained.
Without taking action on the treaty
or the resolution reported from the
committee on foreign relations, the SEN
ate adjourned with the understanding
that the matter will be taken up again.

ton special says;
There was a lull in the excitement at
the navy department Thursday, but the
officials manifested feeling of uncer-
tainty and anxiety pending definite de-
velopments in the diplomatic negotia-
tions concerning the Behring sea matter
The department authorities hardly
know how far to go in the line of ex-
traordinary preparations until the inter-
national correspondence bears a more
conclusive aspect and they are impa-
tiently waiting for this to happen.
Meanwhile, although the navy officials
concede that our relations with Great
Britain are decidedly strained few of
them in reality expect actual hostiltties
to arise.
1t is also pointed out by naval experts
that it will hardly be the policy of the
department to concentrate a heavy
force of vessels in Behring sea, for even
if hostilities should be precipitated by
an exchange of shots in those waters the
war would not be fought there, but
nearer home. Whatever vessels are
sent to Behring sea by either nation will
be intended simply for service in con-
nection with the sealing controversy
and not with the idea of engaging in
any general conflict there.
AT present there are seven or eight
British warships on the Pacific station,
three of which are large cruisers. The
latter would probably not be sent to
Behring sea in any case, but would be
retained in British Columbian waters,
and it is altogether likely that our heavy
cruisers now on the Pacific coast will be
simil ,rly held at San Francisco to await

authority for the statement that in the
spring of 1856 Minneapolis lots had an
average value of five dollars each.
Shortly before this date, much of the
land on which Minneapolis is built was
taken up at dollar and aquarter per
acre. most of sit being then considered
as simply fsfming land. The condi-
tions~existise in those old days prob
ably did not justify larger price for
real estate. "A little town on the prairie
hundreds of miles from railroad COM
munication, and in comparatively I'M
settled country, was not an attractive
place for real tufate investment The
water power at this point was of little
value while the country was still unde-
veloped, and it would have taxed even
vision TO have foreseen the
conditions that would exist here in
twenty or thirty years.
We can look back now and wonder
why men in those by-gonc days. who
possessed little money. did not invest
in corner lots and keep them until they
became worth fortune. Thirty-five
years from now the people then living
in Minneapolis will probably look back
to this time and wonder why we our
selves did not pursue this course. It is
probable that they will be i-st as much
justified in such Judgment by the
changes that will have taken place Re-
tween now and then. as we are by the
changes that have taker place during
the past thirty five or forty years "
