UTAH WANTS TO ANNEX LAND.
Her Proposal TO Take to Herself the North
western Corner or Arizona.

SSsSs
WASHINGTON. April 22.-while Congress
has under consideration the admission Of Ari-
iona into the Union, It may very properly at
tend to a detail which.is suggested by the State
of Utah, and which, in fact. should receive at
%tention whether the Territory is admitted or
not.
Tho Governor and Legislature of Utah have
presented TO Congress a memorial asking that
the portions OF Coconino and Mohave counties
In Arizona which lie north OF tho Colorado
River should be annexed to their State. 1t
will readily be understood that the object is
not to acquire either area or population. Utah
now contains over $4,000. 900 square acres,
which is quite as much as she needs, and her
population is estimated, with apparent rea-
son. at over ESQ, 900. 1t was about 2os. 900
a the last session. The true reason Ia simply
that the Colorado forms AN impossible bar
rier" between the portion CT Arizona on the
Utah side and the remainder Of the Territ Dry.
This cuts the people of from communication
with Arizona, and with its courts, except by
n clrcuitous route through q country now
wild and rough. and occupied by the Apaches
The people In those counties are said by the
memorial to live within four miles of the Utah
line. to have their interests in common with
lection from Arizona. Some proof on this sub
t,ect is furnished by a petition Of fifteen resi-
asking to have the change made, and support
ed by twenty residents of Kane cou lty, in
ltan. VINO are taxpayers IN lOconlnO county.
An additio lal reason set forth Is that the land
north of the Colorado Is sparselv settled. I'M
profitable for irrigation. and suitable only for
grazing; that its herds and foCks are owned
in Utah; that from the very %wildness of the
lands they have become a place OF refuge for
the lawless. against whom Utan Is now COM
PEELED to protect the stockowners, since Ari-
IONA cannot.
The change thus proposed Is of interest be-
You'd the people more particularly concerned.
Its advisability was suggested in The sun sew
eral years ago in an article describing some
notifications Of boundaries possible in that re-
gton. Arizona might regret having to give
up some millions OF acres, but would still be
larger than Utah as thus reinforced. 1t could
also ill spare even the small amount OF popu-
lation that would be deducted, since n lack of
people is one of its main difficulties In getting
admitted to the Union. still. the matter is one
that ought to be examined and decided at least
before steps are taken to make Arizona n

LoNG ISLAND CITY. April 22.-These are
troublesome times for sporting men who run Off
glove contests in Queens county. Throngs Of
witnesses have been before the Grand Jury of
that county now in session, ana 1t was rumored
tonight that indictments by the wholesale had
been found against both the Eureka Club in this
city and the Empire Athletic Club in Maspeth.
1t is said the indictments include everybody
connected with the clubs from the highest to
the lowest.
In Miiler's hotel tonight Capt. Methven stood
with n bundle Of subpUnas. which he served
right and left as the persons designated In each
slip of paper put in an appearance. 1t is said
there were about half a hundred in all. A lively
time is anticipated at the continuing of the in
vcstigatiun before the Grand Jury tomorrow.
A fairly good sized crowd filed into the arena
OF the Eureka A. G. tonight to witness the
glove fights which the Engagement provided
for its patrons. Four bouts were down
on the card, the principal attraction
being a twenty-round encounter at leg pounds
between Johnny Lavack of Cleveland and
Tommy Dixon OF st. Paul. Lavack's reputa-
ton mainly rests on the stubborn draw which
he fought with Solly smith. Dixon's abilities
are we'll thought OF in the West, where he has u
large following.
The opening bout introduced two local boxers.
Martin Delaney OF this city and Jim Cleary of
New York. Jimmy Carroll of Brooklyn oflci-
ated as referee and DIR. Arthur O'Shea manipu-
lated the gong. Neither Delaney nor his OPP
poncnt knew or cared anything for the
manly art of self-defepce; their ideas
lay in tho line of utter annihi-
lation. They pounded each other until both
were almost at a standstiIl in the fourth round.

The second bout brought out Jack McKeck OF
