AFFAIRS IN CAPE COLONY.
Little Disposition In London to Take
Too Roseate View OF Them,

London, Nov. 2s.-While the reports
OF the condition Of Cape Colony are re-
garded as somewhat unnecessarily
alarmist, there is little disposition 20
take too roseate view Of the general
situation. The constant dispatch to
the South Africa Of reinforcing drafts
and the daily fights at points wide
apart show the war Is not over and
while the statement tina, Lord Roberts
has demanded 10000 fresh troops is in
correct, II Is a fact that he has asked
for 5000 men 70 replace the battali0ns
whose wastage incapacIties them from
duty at the front These re-
liefs will be dispatched. but they will
seriously alternate the garrisons Of
the united kingdom, insomuch as Lord
Roberts insists the troops shall be
picked men and have seasoned officers.

PART or THE ACT
HELD TO Be VOID

The supreme court handed down an
opinion this afternoon in the case of
the state OF Utah against James w.
Beddo, appellant, reversing the lower
court with directions to dispose of the
case as required by law.
Beddo was convicted at Vernal before
Judge John f.. Booth and jury OF rape
upon the person Of l2-year-old girl,
and sentenced on March 18th this year,
20 five years In the State prison.
His appeal was based on the ground
that the information against him was
drawn by the district attorney under
the session laws Of 1899 and not by the
county attorney. as provided in the re-
vised statutes OF 1898.
The court holds that the last legisla
ture attempted to change on existing
law without pursuing the method point
ed out by the Constitution requiring a
re-enactment OF the act and the pub
lishing OF the same az length In the
amending act. As this was not done
the supreme court holds that the Jaw
attempting 10 confer power TO file in
formation in criminal prosecutions
the district attorney, when the
old law made II incumbent upon the
county attorney to file such informa-
tion, Is without force or effect and con-
sequeL. ! void. The court does not hold
the whole act void, because the main
subject OF the same Is Independent, EN-
bracing matter not previously legis-
lated upon and f. properly described In
the title. Because Of the failure OF the
county attorney 10 sign and file the
Information In the case at bar, the SUI
preme Court finds that Judge Booth ac-
quired no Jurisdiction 20 try the prls-
iner. whose conviction is consequently
void.
