CABINET
 IS DEp|DEO
Resignation of Attorney General Carson Regretted
APPOINT GEN. MONROE
Will Succeed General Hamilton Now Commander of Darianelles Force

LONDON, Oct. 1g-An almost irreconciliable division in war meas ures that have been brought before the cabinet. is evident among the members. This is aggravated by the resignation of the attorney gener- Il, Sir Edward Carson, whose pat riotism and good judgement have all ways been appreciated. On every hand, deep regret of his resignation is freely expressed. The news papers have expressed the same sem timent.
 Major General Monroe, appointed to succeed General Hamilton, com mander of the Dardnelles forces, was confirmed last evening. General Hamilton, it is said, is coming home to make his report and advise in several important subjects now up for consideration before the cabinet.
 It is reported here that the steam CT Amsterdam, having on board Dr Dumba, ex-ambassador to Washing. ton, has been detained at Deal fol several days. No reason for the de lay is given.

CABLE SERVICE
 NOW RESTORED
After Interruption of Eff
 teen Days Is Repaired

The government cable which has been out of commission for the past fifteen days, was connected again yesterday
 Forty-e ght hours run from Seat tie, yet it took the government that length of time to reach the trouble and patch up the old cable.
 Not that the public suffered a great deal either, because the Mar conf Wireless System that is in oper- ation more than bridged the defect. The annoying feature lies in the fact that the cable is a government owned public utility. The question now is: How long will the cable keep spliced!

 X Personal Letter WILL PROTECT THEM
Says That he Wants to Make Them
 Happy and Contented at Home

As evidence of his good intention, the greatest friend of Alaska, Frank lin K. Lane, Secretary of the Inter for caused a personal letter over his signature to be sent to nearly every inhabitant of Metlakahtla, in which he declares that his intention is to help them in every way, and shows the interest he is taking in their welfare. The letter is dat October 2, 1915, and follows:
 To the Mayor and Council of Ann
 cite Islands Reserve and to the
 Inhabitants of the Town of Met
 lakahtla, Greeting:
 Having learned that some of the people of Metlakahtla have been led to believe that the action of the Secretary of the Interior in giving { public notice of the fact that certain buildings (the sawmill, cannery ware house, and others) are the property of the United States for the use of the people of Metlakahtla, under the direction of the Secretary of the in terior, and are in the possession of the United States for that purpose, endangers their right in the owner ship of the houses and lots which they hold. am writing this letter to assure them and all others that this is not true in any sense. On the contrary the purpose of the Sec retary in taking this action is to confirm the inhabitants of Annette Islands in all their individual rights and semi-public character, and to make the properties which are held for the use and benefit of all the people most profitable to the whole community. I-have asked sthe Com missioner of Education to assist in working out plans for this, and he will confer with the Council of An nette Islands Reserve from time to time.
 It is my purpose to do all I can to help the Council of the Annette lIslands Reserve and the people of Metlakahtla to restore their town to it's original prosperity and more land to make of it place in which all may find profitable employment and live happily, This will require time, patience, wisely directed en- ergy, and the hearty cooperation which I feel sure you will give. With best wishes for every indiv- idual inhabitant of Annette Islands and for the prosperity of the com munity as whole, I am,
 Cordially yours
