Rensberg, Jan. pa patrol composed
of 10 men of the New South Wales lane
ers and South Australians was ambushed
by the Beers and overwhelmed after a Sc
we're fight. Eight of the detachment es-

bicycles Lighter in weight.

Several hundred of the leading mInufac-
turers of bicycles, bicycle accessories and
bicycle sundries, not to speak OF score
or more makers of automobiles, are rep
resented by large exhibits at the fifth
annual bicycle show, which will be for
mally opened tonight in Madison Square
Garden, New York. The big amphitheater
has been divided into $50 spaces on the
main floor, devoted exclusively TO bicycles
and automobiles, with several hundred ad-
ditional spaces on the first balcony in
which are displayed bewildering variety
of contrivances and luxuries for bicycle
riders. The advance guard of mlnufac-
turers and dealers has been here for the
last few days and the crowd at the open
ing promises to be record breaker. The
display of models of bicycles for 1900 show
many radical changes and improvements.
The machines are much lighter than those
shown last year, the difference in weight
being particularly noticeable in the chain

Nicaragua Is Not Aveese.

The Nicaragua minister to the United
States has advised Secretary Hay that as
an indication of the friendship of his gov
eminent for the United States it has APP
pointed an arbitrator to determine wheth-
er the Maratime Canal company is entitled
to an extension of its concession. The
Costa Rican government still recognizes
the concession of the Maratime Canal
company and no matter how the arbitra-
tors appointed by President Zelaya may
decide the protest OF the company, Mica
ragua will stand bound either by the con-
cession of that company or that held by
the Eyre Cragin syndicate.

Captain Frederick j. Mills, late lieu
tenant governor of Idaho, was recently
acquitted of the charge of murder IN Salt
Lake. The jury was out only quarter
of an hour, just long enough to elect a
foreman and take ballot. Such find
ing was expected by everyone and the an
nouncement of the result of the ballot was
not followed by anything sensational.
Mills was charged with the murder of
John G. Omelveny, chief engineer of the
Oregon Short Line, in that city, October
3, last. The evidence showed that while
the defendant was absent serving as an
officer in the volunteer army of the United
States his wife and Omelveny became
criminally intimate. Inc defendant
learned of these facts on the day Of the
tragedy, his wife making a full confess
sion. The killing followed The defend
ant pleaded the Utah statute, which justi-
fies husband who kills his wifes Sc
ducer, and also set up the plea Of in
sanity. Mills will probably return to
Idaho in few lays His wife remains in
salt Lake.

FOURTH OF JULY.

The Granite city of Vermont never does
anything on small scale. When 1t was
decided early in June to celebrate the
Fourth OF July in Barre, preparations were
at once commenced to provide attractions
that should no pleasing and satisfactory to
a large crowd, and that should prove draw
ing cards for the entire population within a
.adius of forty miles OF Barre. How well
the committees having the celebration in
charge succeeded In their original plans Ia
best told in the story OF the day as gathered
by JOURNAL reporters.
Before the sunrise salute woke the echoes
OF the surrounding hills Barre was active,
and soon after the crowds began pouring in.
They came by electrics, by regular and
special steam trains, in all manner of We
hicles, on horseback and on foot. Granite
vile sent long special train, and the in
dustries Of the quarry region were well
represented in the parade. The exact
number OF people carried by the electrics
and steam cars ia not obtainable, but IL ID
estimated that the electric road collected
about 14,OO0 fares and the Montpelier a.
Wells River and Central Vermont railroads
about one-third that number.
The first attraction was the parade OF
horribles which moved shortly after ten
o'clock. Music was provided by the Mont
pelier Military Band, the WILLIAMSBURG
Randolph and Transatlantic bands, and O
drum corps The parade was not az long
AZ some that have been seen in Barre, but
the ideas were original aud credtable
Among the most striking were the floats on

The great attraction for the afternoon
was the race between 'E e. Knott" owned
by j. Edward Bailey and "Colbath, y
