LONDON, Jan. 6.-DeIayed dispatches
from johannesburg are arriving here to-
day. They show that on Tuesday last
there was intense excitement there, the
people hurrying into the town from the
mines and outlying country. The CEN
trail committeeman constituted them
selves provisional government for the
town and announced that ample pro-
vision would be made to defend il
against any body of Beers.
The provisional government was estab-
lished in the Consolidated Gold Fields
building and three Maxim guns were
placed in advantageous positions about
il. The new government then sent an
ultimatum to the government of Presi-
dent Kruger, who proposed a conference
at Pretoria on the following day, Wednes-
day. The committee hesltated TO go 10
Pretoria without safe conduct.
DR. jameson. at that time, was hourly
expected 1t Johannesburg. Crowds of
people surrounded the Consolidated Geld
Fields building and the work OF recruit
ing was in full swing. Numerous people
left the town during the night in ba4o d.
of fifty each.
The governor of Natal, Sir Wa1-.f
Francis Healy- Hutchinson, x. c. NJ. Ia
telegraphs upon Boer authority that 15t.
of DR.. Jameson's followers were killed
and that 81 were wounded. Ga the
Boer side, it is added, only three were
killed and five wounded.

object to Tax ON wheels,

OMAHA. Jan. 6.-The army of bicy-
clists in Omaha are circulating petitions
to prevent the city council levying a tax
on wheels. A proposition is before the
body to make each wheel owner pay 81
per year and requiring in addition very
stringent rules for controlling the use of
wheels on the streets. Bicyciists assert
that this is an imposition, since the
streets are not kept free from glass.

KRUGER MAKES PROMISES
That the Foreigners Shall Have Furthe
Privileges Conferred

Privileges Conferred
LONDON, Jan. 6.-The belief has been
expressed here that the expedition of DR..
Jameson into the TransvaaI involved an
understanding that there was to be an
uprising of the Uitlanders in Johannes
burg, in cooperation with DR.. jameson,
and that his raid would have been sue
cessful if he had received the expected
assistance from Johannesburg.
The abstention of johannesburg from
taking part in the fight at Krugersdorp,
reverse, is partly explained by cable
grams received today, dated December
80, which was the day before DR., jane
sons start, stating that President Kruger
had received a deputation of the ag-
grieved residents and that he had made
them promises that he would take of
the duties on food stuffs and would sup
port equal subsidies for the schools Of
all languages.
He would also, he said, advocate the
desired change in the franchise. This
seems to have fully satisfied the Uitland-
ers, and it is asserted that the Leading
men of all nationalitics were com bin ing
in an active endeavor to cireumvent the
agitation which it was understood was
| being promoted by certain capitalists
with a view to promoting a collision vita
| the, authorities, and thus to establish a
cause for imperial Intervention and to
| give the conspirators chance to go into
| the rich country.
Mr.. Chamberlain has received a dis
patch from Gov. Sir Hercules Robinson
at Pretoria, reporting that Hon. Charles
| Coventry "a captain in the Liechuans
land police and the brother of the Earl O
! Coventry has died of his wounds.

A GIRLS STRATAGEM.
It Brought a Wheel for Papa, but None f
 Herself

It Brought Wheel for Papa, but None for
 Herself.
 The young women you see spinning about town on wheels have broken down a Chinese wall of prejudice, says the At 1anta Constitution.
 When these same young ladies first suggested that they would like to have wheels their respective families went into convulsions. The white-haired papa, with precise ideas about womanly proprieties, was too much shocked to express himself. He just looked unutterable things. And prim mamma why, she came near faint ing away. Big brother thought his sister had suddenly gone daft. and said so. So it was in many homes, but the young wo- men kept hammering away on the idea, and, thanks to plenty of cooperation, many of them have won.
 Miss Jennie made up her mind she wanted wheel. She had caught the fe- yer. The mention of the subject brought down upon her head world of humili- ating comment. The topic was positively forbidden
 But Miss Jennie didn't give up the pur- suit of her dream.
 1T made up my mind that would have that wheel" she said. "Other girls had worked their papas for wheels, and thought I would work mine. I didn't mention it too often, but when did ] got in good blow for him, and everything I could get about wheel riding being healthy I read to him, and I read him about royal personages and leading so- cisty people and ministers had taken it up, but he sniffed at it.
 q simply showered bicycle literature upon him. I searched through all the magazines and got the addresses of all the bicycle concerns 1 wrote to every last one of them and told them to send circulars to papa and I had all the bi- cycle papers sent to him. The postman was simply overloaded with it. Papa never got so much mail in his life before.
 This bicycle craze is taking the earth he said one day at lunch. Why, I get a cartload of mail from the manu- lecturers every day and what do you think-a half dozen firms have sent agents around to see me! If it keeps up m have to leave town or stop doing bus iness.'
 His prejudice gradually wore away. but I didn't let up on him. I meant to have my wheel. l could see that he was getting more tolerant toward wheeling and I read him all the stuff about bicycles and riders that I could find in the pa pers. One day he came home with a great piece of news.
 You know I was once little preju- diced against bicycles he said. I couldn't see any good in them, but, do you know, I've changed my mind? I bought me a wheel this morning.

Gilman sued for libel. recovered
$3.50 damages and the Supreme court
OF California through Justices Hens

tanned the award of $500 against the

long oeen at work trying to throttle

alone prevents California being over

The decision is an out,ageous at
tack upon the right Of f.,

wide difference between a m~alicinus
