EXHAUSTIVE INVESTIGATION.
The Division of Forestry Will Investigate
 the Grazing Problem.

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 26, 1900. Secretary Wilson, of the Department of Agriculture, has received commu- nicatiOn from Secretary Hitchcock, of the Department of the Interior, asking his aid in solving the problem of graz ing in the western forest reserves. The Division of Forestry will commence immediately an investigation which will last several months.
 The controversy over the alleged evil effects of sheep grazing has involved western caltIemen, wooIgrOwers, and [ timers in a bitter war for many years, and the recent increase of irrigation has added to the bitterness. Govern ment action in the matter has been has. tened by the establishment of forest re- serves. In view Of the injury to the forests in many sections from Overgraz- ing, all reserves except those in Wash ington and Oregon, and the Black Mesa Reserve, in Arizona, which is to be opened to 3O0,O00 sheep at 3 cents d head, are closed to sheep by an order issued last May. This step has raised storm Of protest from wCOlgrOwers, who insist that no harm is done by grazing under proper restrictions. Many are reported to have driven their herds into the mountains last summer, in defiance of the law.
 Against the sheep owners are array ed the cattlemen and farmers. and es- pecially the irrigators, who claim the practice means disaster to agriculture

in the lOwlands. These argue that sheep destroy the forest cover in the mountains and thus diminish the water supply. They are said not only to eat the young growth which is to perpetu- ate the forest, but to tramp down in- numerabhe seedlings and destroy the layer Of leaves necessary to keep the soil in good condition. Sheep herders are accused of burning large areas in order to secure growth of grass. While the Government will decide the matter only in the case of forest re- serves, these include large part of all the summer ranges of the western sheepralsing States, and the results will be of great importance to the American woolgrowing industry.
 As no general rule can be applied, each reserve will be studied separately. The first step of the Division of For estry will be to collect impartially the testimony of both sides. Lists of ques- lions will be sent to thousands of sheep men and their opponents. About July l, an examination of the reserves will begin. A number of bOtanisls, irriga- tiOn experts, and similar scientific men will be secured from all parts of the United States, and they will spend sew eral months in the field. In addition, all field parties of the Division of For estry engaged in other work in the in- terested regions will be required to give time to the sheep question also. Secretary Hitchcock has asked the De- partment of Agriculture to give special attention to the following phases: Relation of grazing to taxation and the general prosperity of specified To- calities.

entire ignorance az to his decision on the
fight. There was an unusually large crowd
present and considerable money was
wasered on the fight. Peyton was the
favor1te at 10 to Z. Clarke. Who is young
vantages Of weight, height, strength, youth
and reach over his competitor. In all the
elements Of pugilism. however, he was SIM
ply outclassed. The bout went twelve
rounds, but only lasted that long because
Clarke stood entirely on the defensive and
would not take any chances. Peyton did
all the leading and punished his adver-
sary badly whenever the latter would stand
UP and fight.
The bout was proceeding in monoto-
nous. one-si6ed way, with Clarke being
slowly but surely pummeled to defeat,
the battle. In a fierce exchange near the
ropes in the twelfth round Clarke, who
seemed hopelessly beaten, struck Peyton
hard blow in the lower part Of the body.
Peyton curIed up on the ropes in agony
and claimed a foul.
Pandemonium followed. The adherents of
both men climbed into the ring and clam
ored for decision according to their fndi-
vidual views.
The referee seemed ratified. and appar-
emily did not know what to do. He finally
announced that while the blow might have
been foul, he did not see 1T, and that the
who had partially recovered by this time.
expressed his readiness to go on, and the
ring was cleared with difficulty.
Clarke had had enough, however. He
claimed that the referees decision that
there had been no foul gave him the fight,
as 1T would have been easy for him to
knock Peyton out while he hung on the
ropes The referee did not count
Peyton out, however, and no time was
taken. When Clerke refused to fight and
left the ring the referee also took his de-
parture,, remarking incidentally that as
Clarke had clearly violated the rules in
leaving the ring he would have to give the
decision to Peyton. The rule on that point
is as follows: Amy pugilist voluntarily
quitting the ring previous to the deliberate
Judgment Of the referee being obtained shall
be deemed to have lost the fight
