WASHINGTON. Oct. 20.-AtA the meet
Ing OF the Cabinet to-day hearty telici-
tations were exchanged between tho
President and his advisers over the re-
suit Of the delibe ratIons Of the Alaskan
Boundary Commission. Secretary Hay
presented to the President and to his
fcllow-C Cabinet members the decision OF
the commission, as stated In the official
dispatches to the State Department. The
decision itself indicates moro clearly than
anything else could how complete tho
American victory Is.
So confident were the President and
the members OF his Cabinet in the Just
ness OF their contention regarding the
Alaskan boundary that they were per-
fectly willing to refer the matter to any
properly constituted commission for final
decision The award made BY the TIL
bunal which has Just completed Its work
is believed to fully Justify tho confidence
OF the administration In the correctness
Of the American claims.
President Roosevelt and the members
OF his Cabinet regard that territory as
one of the greatest possibilities and one
which, In perhaps few years, will be a
very populous country.
Some minor matters affecting the VA
rous departments were considered by
the Cabinet. but no announcement was

RL.onDs OF TIE TEAMS,

The Virginia Polytechnics have played
fewer games than the University. and IN
| few cases the same teams. The Blacks
| burg team defeated the ST. Adams eleven
% to 0. and walloped the Agricultural and
Mechanical College OF North Carolina q
to O. while the strong Virginia Military
Institute eleven could only defeat the
| Aggics by e to o. Georgetown, which
held Princeton to a score of to 0, only
defeated st. Adams % TO 0. while the Vir-
sinia Polytechnic Institute scored 90
against the Same team. Last year the
| Virginia Polytechnic Institute eleven.
| with almost the same team, defeated
! Georgetown and played Virginia a game
IN which the Varsity could score but
once by tho hardest kind OF work on their
own grounds.
| These scores Indicate that the Virginia
| Polytechnic Institute eleven Will probably
play virginia to a tie or hold them to n
/ single score, If they do not humble the
| proud orange and blue. There Is abso-
| lutely 10 doubt that 1t Is going to be a
| tremendous struggle between the two
strongest teams In Virginia or the South,

add:
I'VE urged our views as strongly as
