Would Breed Buffalo.

NEW YORK, Jau. l0.--Plars for the
propagation of the American buff alo
were discussed at meeting of the
Bison society here today. 1t was
stated that there are now about 1000
bu aloes in North America, of which
l, 400 are in the United States, and, in
view of the rapidity with which the
animals have deere ased in numbers in
recent years, it was argued, they will
soon become extinct unless etfectu al
steps are taken to foster them.
The society decided to make an eff
fort to purchase practically all the re-
naming tfaloes in this country and
Canada and present them to the United
States government. BY so doing, it
hopes, the government will set aside
large tracts OF land, where the bison
may be raised on IA large scale.
The society decided to look into the
pracjcahility of locating several
herds of bull butfaloes on the Flat
head Indian reservation, in north
western Montana, and in the Grow
reserv alton, in southwestern Wyom.
ing. M. j. Elrod, of the University
of Montana, will be asked to report
to the society upon the possibilities OF
the Flathead reserv alton.

Carter Criticized Hitchcock.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. - Senator
Carter presented q resolution in which
he said he should try to show that the
secretary of the interior acted without
authority when he published an order
on December Is, last, prohibiting the
issuance of land patents to homeste ad
entrymen under all laws, regardless
of the conditions.

senate" said Mr.. Carter, "that the
order was illegal and unwsrr anted
and was issued and is being prose.
cuted in violation of the law, and at
records of the land Office show that
the issuance of the order is wholly in
defensible."
The resolution expresses the senti-
ment that qualified entryman, in the
absence of contest or fraud or mis-
take, is legally entitled to patent for
land embraced In his entry.
The resolution would reach cases
where patents have been refused by
the secretary on the ground that be
suspected the entries were made by q
number of persons in the interest OF
one holding corporations of 'land
grabbers.'
