PLAN FOR LEASING.
Recommended by the Interior Depart
ncnt,

Washington-The Interior Depart
ment has submitted to Congress the
draft of a bill providing plan for leas-
ing public grazing lands of the United
States and recommended its passage.
The bill as drawn authorizes the sec
retary of the interior to withdraw from
public entry lands deemed by him de
sirable and to lease them for grazing
purposes, giving small stockmen pref
erence, for terms not exceeding five
years, at rental to be fixed by the
secretary.
At the expiration of the leases the
secretary is to reclassify the lands and
exclude from the grazing area tracts
which should be subject to homestead
or other forms of entry.
The proceeds of the grazing fees
shall be turned into the reclamation
fund, to be used to carry on the work
upon projects which have been de-
cided desirable, but for which there is
insufficient money available in the re-
clamation fund.
In submitting the bill the Interior
Department called attention to the fact
that number of irrigation en-
terprises have been found feasible, but
that the reclamation fund is not large
enough to provide for all of these pro-
jects, and the suggestion is made that
the proceeds from the rental of graz
ing lands would not only provide such
funds. but would tend to preserve the
range ard give opportunity for its i'm
provement. Among the projects men
toned by the department which might
be aided by the passage of the bill
are: Bear river. Utah; Grand river,
Colorado; Goshen Hole. Wyoming; Du-
bois, Idaho, and Las Vegas, New Mex

KID CARTER WON.

New York, Jan. 12-The Carlyle Athletic club opened it's new heai- quarters at 193 Vermont street Wed nesday night. Despite the fact that another club was holding bouts a few doors away, the new boxing pavilion was crowded with members. Resides ten good bouts in which blood flowed freely and knockOuts were scored re- peatedly. the main event was fought between Kid Carter and Jack Butler. Carter displayed some of his old form and closed Buffers eyes in the second round and had him groggy when the third round ended. Carter and Butler do not speak, ever since Butler gained a decision over Carter and the fight was Il grudge one. The opening bout was . bloody one. Young Star and Young Shea. both lightweights, were sent to their knees and but for the gong might have scored knockouts. The club will hold it's bouts on some other night than Wednesday.

THE PUGlLlsTs
IS CORBETT RIGHT
Doubt About It Although the Fight Takes Place To.Night--
 More Fight News.

Young Corbett, who will fight Aure- lia Herrera at Los Angeles tonight. says that he will not be pound over weight when he gets on the scales at 6 o'clock to make the required limit, l33 pounds. Corbett has been taking off flesh for several weeks but de- clares that when he cutters the ring he will be fit and strong. In Herrera he will meet a remarkable pugilist, as far as habits are concerned, for ring experts say that the Mexican. who is 36 years old, drinks intoxicants stead fly while at work for q mill. and also smokes twenty cigars day. In Cal ifornia many critics believe that Coy bett has not the stamina to withstand the kind of milling that Herrera in- dulges in, and the latters heavy hit ting qualities, coupled with his clev- erness, will carry the day. Corbett was pronounced back number after Battling Nelson beat him and he has taken little or no care of himself since

TO LEAVE HARTFORD.
O'Connell Going to Philadelphia-May
 Enter Nillanoya.

Enter NlilanONa.
 Thomas F. O'Connell of Hartford, who is member of the New York Athletic club. said last night that he had decided to leave Hartford and was going to Philadelphia Monday. lie said there was not much of an oppor- tunity in this state to branch out in athletics. 0Connell won number of contests last summer at the broad jump and the 1O0yard dash and two years ago he won the New England championship at the broad jump.
 O'Connell said that he might enter vlllanoya college later. This college has turned out some excellent base ball material. as the athletic director is Fred Crolius. who played on the Wor- cester and Norwich teams and iin- ished the season with Springfield.
 There is only one broad jumper who is regarded as O'Connell's superior and that is Meyer Prinstein. who holds the amateur record of 2i feet 1h inches. made at Philadelphia, April 2s. 1900. It is reported in New York that Prin- stein and O'Connell may be taken to the Olympic games at Greece.

Umpire Charles Kennedy is consid- ering an offer from the Southern league. The well known Connecticut league official has been strongly rec commended to Judge W. NJ. Kavan- augh, president of the Southern league. by Dan Pfenninger, n former Connecticut league official, who has been working in the southern circuit. The Springfield man has not reached decision regarding the chance. but expects to within a short time. Increased salary Is one of the strong points in the offer.
 Pfenninger. who is making his nome in Little Rock, Arkansas. has written to Umpire Kennedy on authority from the league president. and the Spring field man will begin corresponding with the head of the Southern league at once. Umpire Pfenninger. who has knowledge of the Connecticut league system, says that umpiring in the Southern league is much more sat isfactory. "The president of the league wants you to be boss and he will back you up fin everything you do. It is not like the Connecticut league, writes Pfenninger.
 Tmpires in the Southern league us- ually stay in each city for several days at q time. The jumps are long and the circuit has some splendid cit- ies including New Orleans, Atlanta. Memphis, Birmingham. Little Rock. Nashville, Montgomery and shreye- port.

THE DIAMOND ALL WANT JOBS
A Regiment of Ball Players Seeking to Join Waterbury-More
 News of Interest.

Letters continue to pour in upon the Waterbury base ball management and if it were only possible to bring all the applicants here a regiment of ban players could be formed. The latest one to apply is our old friend, Kid Morris. The latter used to be clever pitcher, but whether he has gone back is question. A fast infelder who lives up Massachusetts way is also under cross-examination. He is good man and if he can be landed he will be a strength to the team. X catcher who officiated in one of the state league teams last year is another. He has no contract with any team and is open for engagements. He, too, Is q good man in his position. There is lots of material judging by the amount of correspondence.

sprinter Copeland Will Succeed Vet
 eran Jim Robinson.

Al Copeland, once noted sprinter. and huriler. and well known as a writer on athletics. has been engaged to coach the Princeton athletes.
 Copeland will practically succeed the veteran Jim Robinson, who has been so ill the past few months that he could not continue active work with the athletes. Robinson will bc retained by Princeton fin an advisory capacity.
 The new Princeton coach recently was negotiating with the Columbia Track association. Columbia wrote io him some time ago asking terms and Copeland replied. naming his figure.
 At that time the Columbians were short of funds and could not close with Copeland. but on last Monday Gustavus T. Kirby made him a new offer.
 Copeland then said that he bsd im- portant business engagements which would keep him from taking the place at the university. It Is presumed that at that time he was making arrange ments to go to Princeton.
