MIR. AIger Made His Adieu
WASHINGTON, July &.-The features
of the cabinet meeting today were the
farewell of Secretary Alger and the pre-
sentation of his successor, Mr. Root Half
an hour after the cabinet had assembled,
Mr.. Root appeared at the White House.
He was Immediately admitted and was
formally presented to those of his new
colleagues whom he had not met His
greeting was pleasant and cordial. He
remained but a. few minutes, leaving
shortly after noon to catch the 2:45 train
for New York. When he left the White
House he said he would return and as
sumo charge of the war department
Aug l.
Shortly after Mr.. Root had left, Gen.
Alger made his adieu He shook hands
with the president, and. each member of
the cabinet. In saying farewell there
were many kindly expressions of regret
and exchanges of well-wishes
The cabinet remained in session about
three-quarters of an hour after Gen.
Ayers departure. There was a general
cleaning-up Of little odds and ends pre-
paratory to the presidents departure to-
morrow. The main topic discussed was
the Alaskan boundary line dispute Sec
rotary Hay explained the status of the
direct negotiations now in progress be-
tween hlmseH and Mr., Tower, the Brit
1sh charge, and said he was not without
hope that this vexed sproblem would be
solved by direct negotiations Great
Britain now seems willing to consider the
proposal of the United States to give
Canada the privilege of a port of entry
into the Dominion, while retaining abso-
lutte sovereignty over the Lynn canal, and
1t is around this sort of proposition
that the hope of o, settlement now
hovers.
The speech of Sir Wil9rid Laurier and
Sir Charles Upper came up incidentally,
but no serious attention was given them.
Settlement by direct negotiation will be
the easiest as well as the most satisfac-
tory method Of disposing of this trouble
some question and such a settlement,
from the facts developed at today's cab
met meeting, is regarded as by no means
out of the realm of probability.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Secretary
Hitchcock today finally disposed of the
Cass Lake, Mimi, controversy. He an
nounced that the government would sell
in parcels the north half of section H.
which comprises nearly the whole town
of Cass Lake. The 500 or more intruders
are located chiefly on this half section,
and on the northeastern part of section
16. They will have to remove from sec
ton 16, as soon as possible.
The decision of Secretary Hitchcock
closes the controversy over the proposed
ejectment of the intruders from the Cass
Lake Indian reservation lands. Senator
Nelson, who subsequently left for Nor
way for the first time since he left the
land of his birth, was present when the
announcement was made and expressed
his satisfaction.
This places the 500 acres of lands open
to all for purchase. The half section
will be advertised for sixty days and
probably fifteen days more allowed be-
fore the sale, when the intruders must
take their chances in the purchase of
the lands or remove from them The
adjoining section, 16, is not similarly to
be sold off, as it consists mainly of agri-
cultural lands, and is subject either to
allotment or homestead requirement
The intruders there must buy land in the
other section or remove entirely from the
| reservation.
