Today the recently promulgated regula-
lions relating to the cleaning of all domestic
cars in which live stock has been trans
ported go into effect. The orders to the
government inspectors came one day last
week and were to take effect at once, but II
was thought best by the officials here to
allow the railroad companies six days in
which to prepare for the new departure,
Heretofore the Bureau Of Animal Industry
has confined Itself to the inspection of cars
from infected districts and the order to com
pei railroads to carefully clean all do
nestle cars before being used again was in
the nature OF a surprise. Naturally the rail
road officials were not tickled to death at the
chance to expend money in compliance with
this new demand Of the government, but
there was nothing to do but acquiesce and
make the best of a disagreeable duty. 1t is
the intention of the department to prevent, IL
possible, the spreading of disease among
live stock and for that reason the order was
issued.

Corbett Plays Hand Ball and Fit=sim-
mons PASSES the Day Quietly.
CARSON, New, Feb. 21.-Sunday was a
busy day with Jim Corbett. The bright
weather and warming sun brought out hun
dreds of people in sleighs, on foot, and even
on bicycles, with Shaw's Hot Springs the OBJ
~jective point. Sleighs loaded with women
drove up to the champions quarters and, with
'Hurrah for Corbett," were OFF again.
Corbett summed himself on the front porch
most Of the afternoon, and smilingly dotted
his hat to the salutations of many visitors.
Jim and his brother ice dedicated the new
hand ball court at . O'Clock with n close
game, the champion indulging Joe with the
lead until the latter had only a point to make,
when despite Joe's desperate efforts to win
the first game in the new court Jim ran il
out. They continued to play steadily over
an hour, when the champion donned the
gloves with Billy Woods. Woods wore a
mask invented by a Chicago man, to protect
his Jaw and neck. Corbett went at Woods
in lively style. Seeing an opening he landed
his right on Woods jaw, which sent the
big Scotchman staggering against the wall
The blow made Woods groggy. but he came
back for more. Corbett punched him hard
and but for the protection afforded by the
mask any Of the blows would have been sufi-
cient TO put the man out. After nearly two
hours hard work, Corbett showed very little

visitors, and allowed himself to he snapped
by various Iodaks until 4 o'clock, when he
took a turn at the wrist machine, then an
hours fast hand ball with Brother joe
and another half hour with Woods. HE de-
clared Shaw's Springs to be a great place for
work. His work today demonstrated to all
who saw It his splendid condition.
FitZsimmons passed the day very quietly.
He took a run through the snow today, re-
turning TO the Hotel Arlington. and passed
the afternoon playing billiards to a room full
of spectators, He went to his quarters later
on. but did no work, as his paraphernalia
has not yet arrived. Fitzsimmons has
changed his mind about hand ball and now
declares he will have a court built in the
pavilion at Cooks ranch and will go in for
Corbett's ~favorite game. FltZsimmons looks
well, and says he is in the best of shape.
His baggage was all sent out this morning,
and he will begin active work in the morn
ing,
Dan Stuart was inaccessible today, He is
suffering from stomach allment with slight
