American Won.

New York, Dec. l6-Before nearly 20
900 people, jammed into every available
corner of the great Madison Square Gar
den, Harry Ellles of Glenns Falls, N. Y,
and Floyd Mcfarland of San Jose, Cal,
the American team, won the six day inter-
national bicycle race by wheels length
from Burns W. Pierce of Boston and
Archie McEachern of Toronto the Ca
madam team.
Caesar Simar of Paris and Jean Goug
oltz of Monte Carlo, the French team,
were third, lap away.
The distance covered by the winners was
2G2S miles and seven laps, this being l04
miles and seven laps behind the record of
Miller and Waller, made last year. Karl
Kaiser of Berlin and Fritz Reyser of Ber-
lin the German team, were given fourth
place, 43 miles and three laps behind the
leaders, they having retired from the track
about two hours before the close. Michael
Frederick of Paris and Jean Fisher of
Paris took fifth place with 1928 miles.
They drew out at Z o'clock. Frank Wal
ler of Boston and w. c. Stinson of Bos-
ton gave up just before 3 o'clock Saturday
morning, content with sixth position and
their 23Os miles and one lap. o. V. Bah
cock of New York and Louis Gimm of

partners, rode for an individual score.

withdraw from the track during the after
noon. Babcock was then at 1906 miles

The Wine on the Evening Star at
Rossland has attained a depth of 800
feet below the tunnel level, or 400 feet
in all. AS soon as a stump has been
sunk a small station will be cut out
and drifting on the ledge will be start
ed both to the east and west. Some very
fine ore has recently been encountered
in the Wine, and consequently the
management has every hope of open
ing up an extensive ore shoot by the
prosecution of the contemplated work.
The Evening Star is one of the two
Rossland mines being worked that are
still controlled by Spokane capital. It
has been vigorously handled during
the past year.
For the first time in the history Of
the district the ores from properties
along the Kaslo & SLOGAN railroad are

from these points and the aggregate
output is estimated at 1900 tons per

Capture of Counterfeiters.

Washington, Dec. l6.-Chief Wilkie of
the secret service received a telegram an
nouncing the arrest in San Francisco of
William Benton Fritch and Emmett Ben
ton Fritch, father and son, on a charge of
ccunterfeiting Last Tuesday workman
high up on the new postoflice building at
San Francisco noticed two men at work in
a back room in a building some distance
away. Occasionally one of the men came
to the window and intently loked at an
object in his hand. The workman grew
suspicious and came to the conclusion that
the men were counterfeiters and reported
the fact to George Haen of the western di-
vision of the secret service.
MIR. Hazen procured a fieldglass and on
Wednesday went up on top of the post
office building, where he watched the two
men. His observations confirmed the con-
illusions of the workman, and with a
search warrant he went to the place and
found the two men engaged in filing" $40
gold pieces. The men were arrested and
$4,000 in coin captured.

Pekin, Dec. 17.-Definite instruc-
tions, supplementing the recent COM
munication from London, have been re-
ceived by Sir Ernest Mason Satow, the
British minister, and he now demands
a modification of a point in the joint
note which the foreign ENJOYS gener-
ally regard as important. This means
further delay as all the ministers must
communicate anew with their respec-
tive governments

lection raised by Great Britain the min
lister declined to say, but they admit
that the new demand will involve a
great deal more diplomatic procedure.

A HARD BLOW 70 ENGLAND
REvERsEs OF THE BRITISH.
Recent Defeat mt MagaIiesburg Oc-
Cured One Year After Defeat at
CoIenso-London Don't Think the
War Is over.

London, Dec. l6.-The astounding and
utterly unexpected reverse of the British
at AIagaliesburg, the news of which was
broken to the nation exactly one year
after General Buffers defeat at Colenso
efTectually disposes of any hopes that the
war in South Africa is nearly ended and
completely dispels the myth that the OPP
erations there were merely of guerrilla
nature.
AS Mr.. LloydGeorge, liberal, said in the
house of commons: This is one of the
most severe reverses suffered by the Brit
ish and it is quite evident the war will
drag on many months to come Dewet is
making England the laughing stock of the
world. We have 100000 men in the field
yet we are unable to protect ourselves
from disaster at the hands of small COM
mandos drawn from pastoral people"
The extent of the defeat has created
feeling of shame and astonishment which
finds free vent. With somewhat cruel Co
incidence the Northumberland are known
as the Fighting Fifth" The second bat
TALON, to which the captured companies
belong was one of the heaviest sufferers at
Stormberg year ago. The regiment has
often been pronounced by home and for
eign critics to be one of the finest in the
British army. All the forebodings and
criticisms which Colenso gave rise to a
year ago have been resurrected by the dis
aster at Ma@liesburg. The war office has
nothing to do but to grin and bear it and
trust to the time until General Kitchener 3
forces are transformed into mounted in
fantry and the mounted police gets to
work. MIR. Broderick has little hope of
improvement in the military situation.
But whoever was responsible for the
surrender at Aagalesburg, he is likely TO
suffer, for the new war Office officials are
determined to make examples of generals
or any other officers guilty of such gross
mismanagement or worse, which, II
would seem, must have occurred at this
last defeat. This stern attitude on the
part of the government, however, by nc
means decreases the scorn and ignominy
with which certain of the liberal members
of parliament who are avowedly pleased
with the Boer successes are regarded by
the major part of the community. AT 1
pro-Boer meeting Friday, at which Leon
ard Courtney presided, General Kitchen
ers name was greeted with cries of evil

of Steyn and Dewet elected loud cheers.

ALLIED TROOPS ATTACKED
EIGHT MILES FROM PEKIN.
Attack Occurred by the BoNers-Mc-

Arms and Ammunition Discovered
-EngIishmnn Refuses to Sign.

Pekin. Dec. l6.]Colonel Tullock has re-
turned here. He reports having had an eX
citing experience. His detachment was
fired on eight miles from Pekin. He could
not discover the ASSISTANTS, as they used
smokeless powder and modern guns. He
camped for the night at place called kao-
Living, Is miles from here, meeting with
slight opposition, but he was informed
he would be attacked the next day by
Boxers from Dohhalp-y ing, and sent for re-
Inducements. Fifty men under Lieutenant
Mcpherson of the Twenty-sixth Beluchi-
stan regiment were sent to his aid. Imme-
diately after their arrival Tullock attack
ed the town, which had been entered by
the use of scaling ladders.
In the attack Mcpherson distinguished
himself. He led the scaling party which
reached the town, jumped down into the
place and emptied his revolver, killing FIVE
men. He then drew his sword and de-
Tended himself until his men arrived in
force and saved him from impending death.
Colonel Tullock speaks highly of the lieu
tenants action. He says he believes he
did a deed which merits the Victoria Gross
in his jump to what was apparently GER
tain death in order to lead his men who
we're coming up the ladder. Fortunately
the Chinese had only few carbnes and
were bad shots and none of the British
troops were wounded during the fight.
Forty Boxers were killed, number were
wounded and many captured and brought
to Pekin. Owing to the killing of the in
former no treasure was obtained.
! Tullock says the people of Pekin dc not
realize the contempt IN which they are
held in the country districts. He add:
that one of the wounded Cinnamon sale
while dying: "You can kill me but OF
can not kill the Boxer movement. whicl
will exist until every foreign devil il
China is killed"

eral state of anarchy necessitating thu
