said to have pocketed g half million when

Many voters are isboring under the
Misrepresentation that people may learn
how they vote BY comparing the number
against their name in the stub book with
the number on the ballot. This is en-
tirely q mistake. Before the ballot is put
into the box, the number 10 detached,
and by no mark upon 10 can IL possibly
be identified from lie fellows. The fact
that upon each ballot is printed number
which corresponds with the number In q
stub book. against which the election
clerk enters the voters name ss he takes
the ballot into the booth 10 fill 10 out, has
given the impression to many 9 voter that
some political boss to whom, per chance,
be was under obligation for work In q
mine. or other material assistance, could
ascertain how he voted.
This 10 wholly wrong. The chief and
browning merit Of the Australian ballot
system is its absolute secrecy. No one,
not even the clerks and inspectors Of
election, can even surmise how the voter
has exercised his power.
When the voter goes TO the polling
place TO cast his vote he gives his name.
After be ia looked up on the register by
the clerk he is given . ballot torn from
the book OF ballots. The ballot has
printed upon the back In the upper right
hand corner a number corresponding
with the one printed upon the stub left
In the book. The voter takes the ballot
into the booth, aud there. In secret. marks
The same. placing a cross at the names Of
the candidates for whom he wishes TO
vote. He then folds the ballot. leaving
the number printed on the back on top.
He comes out. hands the ballot to the
clerk, who calls out the number, which
10 checked of on the stub. Then the
clerk tears the number off the ballot and
places the latter in the box with nothing
on it TO distinguish il from the others.
This all goes on under the voters eyes.
and there is no possibility Of fraud, and
the utmost secrecy is assured.

The Nevada stars win.

The Nevada Stars Baseball Club
played the Alerts Of Alameda on Sunday
and won the game, the Alerts throwing
up the sponge in the seventh inning.
The score stood Stars 10, Alerts 2.
1t was a close hard game up to the
seventh inning, the Alerts making a
tally in the third and another in the
fourth inning. The Stars did not make
a tally until the sixth inning, when they
scored one. The Alerts were white
washed in the next and the Stars came
to the bat and made nine runs. The
Alerts then refused to play further.
After reasonable notice the umpire de-
clared the Stars winners. The game
was witnessed by 10000 people, and the
old Comstockers present went wild. The
Stars are scheduled to play the Oregon
champions and a Los Angeles team be-
fore their return to Nevada.

A DESPERATE FIGHT.

British Troops Meet the Matabeles In
Battle-Conhicting Reports.
Cape Town, April 25.-Dispatches
from different sources in Buluwayo give
information somewhat conflicting in
character, but the main fact seems well
established that the British have made
a sortie in force, encountered large
numbers of ,Matabele, inflicted great
loss upon them, suffered in return, were
at one time in danger. of humiliation,
and finally retreated. Other dispatches
say that. there is no truth in the report
that the British were defeated. The
only basis for it was statement IN the
first dispatches that the British had
been driven into the river. Later details
make no mention of this, and it is
thought that the statement was mis-
taken one. for the British crossed the
river to reach the enemy at close quar-
tiers.
The loss of the enemy is said to have
been very great. No correct estimate
could be made, but the reports place
the number of Matabele killed at any
where between 400 and 1000. The loss
of the British is not stated, but is be-
lieved to be more severe than the com
n,anders at Buluwayo are willing to
admit, --.,. ,,..> 49,, 49,
