MEETING OF THE CABINET

washington, Nov. 2s.--An impor- tant meeting of the cabinet was held today. Two questions of concern par- ticuiarly were conscidered. the first being the appointment by the Presi- dent of representative of the Amer ican government who will be naval officer of high rank on the tribunal which Is to determine the questions which have arvisen between Greet Britain and Russia over the North Sea incident. and the other being an opin- ion rendered by Attorney General Moody regarding the legality. under the lottery laws of guessing con-. testss which have been conducted by many newspapers and magazines.
 No definite conclusion as to who should be selected as member of the tribunal has been reached; but 1t was settled definitely that the ap- pointee would be 8 rear admiral of the navy. It is practically certain that the selection will be made from among three officers, Rear Admiral Davis. Chadwick and Sands. Ari- nouncement of an appointment may be expected in few dnys
 Some time ago. on the request or Postmaster General Wynne. the Pres ident directed the attorney general to ouOmlt tO nun dn opiutoh ae " tti" propriety under the law restricting the operations of lottery enterprises through the mails of guessing con- tests of various kinds That opinion was submitted today and was turned over by the President to Postmaster General Wynne who hereafter will be guided in ihs direction of the depart ment by it.
 Opinion is sweepiag.
 The opinion is of most sweeping character, and while the postmaster general has no inclination to work hardship upon any body, he win put the attorney generals judgment into effect as soon as may he practicable. He realizes that many thoueands of people have invested small or large amounts of money in the various schemes In the hope or expectation. in the words of the ponion. that luck would enable them to win large re- turns
 "A comparatively small percentage of the participants will realize their expectations" continued the opinion, thousands will get nothing"
 The Attorney General says the schemes are in effect lotteries under the guise of guessing contests.
 Postmaster General Wynne indicated 1t was not his purpose to apply the opinion of MT. Moody indiscriminately. saying 1t was his intention to consider each case brought before the depart ment on its individual merits.

sed a resolution in which they say
that they prefer to be a Territory in

suspension of certain internal reve-

up against a precedent established
when the Chicago fire occurred in
