Australians v. Oldham

The Liberals and the Oocupation of Cyprus.

SPECIAL TO THE GLOBE.

[from our own correspondent,] London, July 12.

At the Paris Exhibition the Australian wools excel greatly. They will probably be awarded the first prize, besides the gold meda in most sections. The Australian exhibits stand conspicuously high. Foreign Governments are asking quotations for preserved moats.

The Colonial Office has distributed the prospectus of the Sydney Exhibition, and has received applications from foreigners and British for space. The Liberals will oppose the occupation of Cyprus on account of it being an apparent alliance with Turkey, and a protection of her Asiatic dependencies. The Liberals think that the Ottoman mis-government precludes an English alliance.

(special to the pbrss agency.) London, July 13.

On Saturday night about thirty Waikato Natives who had been drinking during the day attempted to pull down and burn the Waitara ITotel. The constable called upon the Europeans to assist him in arresting the ringleaders, when a serious row took place. No one was seriously hurt, although blood was llowing freely. The ringleaders were eventually lodged in gaol, but. owing to the threats of the Natives, and an attempted rescue of the prisoners, they were released by order of Mr Thomas Baylor, J.P. The affair caused great excitement, and blame is laid with the Police Department for not having a proper staff located here. Tapanui, July 15.
