PRETORIA, Oct 30-(via Bleemfontein,

bearing the remains of Prince Christian
Victor. grandson of the Queen, who died
here of enteric fever, will leave for Cape

The prince was universal favorite in

over his death.
General Brabant has gone to Cape Col

from returning after his defeat at Fred

De Wet went warily up the north bank
OF the river ana daSned across henSOurS
drift, where he was attacked. Here the
Beers had many casualties and lost two
guns. Battery U distinguished itself by
fine practice.
The inha bitants of small towns in the
Orange River Colony and the Vaal River
Colony. which are occupied by British
garrisons. have been treacherously ad-
hitting the Beers and concealing them
in their houses. This thing appears to
be spreading, and on October % fourteen
British soldiers were killed at Jacobsdal
through this kind Of treachery. This is
very exasperating and has caused a feel

RESTRICTIONS OF SUFFRAGE.
Some Curious Provisions of the New
York state Law.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3-The decision of
the Appellate Division of the Supreme
Court on Thursday to have ten names
Of inmates Of the Samaritan Home for
| the Aged stricken from the registra-
ton list In the Ninth Assembly dis
trict of this city. suggests one of the
many limitations on the right of suffrage
in this State. The State constitution
covers this particular case, paragraph ;.
Article H. For the purpose of voting
says the constitution. mo person shall
be deemed to have gained or lost resi-
dence by reason of his presence or abb
sence while employed in the service OF
the United States: nor while engaged in
the navigation of the waters of this State,
or of the United States. or of the high
seas; nor while a student of any semi
nary of learning; nor while kept at any
almshouse, or other asylum OF institution
supported at public expense or by charity;
nor while confined in any public prison
1t has been decided that a minor who has
been convicted of felony and has served
out his time in the State prison during his
minority is lot qualified to vote after
coming of age. But the Governor has the
right to restore citizenship upon con-
victed criminal who is serving out his
time. Nor does the disqualification extend
to minors convicted of felony and confined
to a house of refuge or reformatory main
tanned by the State.
Deserters from the military service or
the navy OF the United States are entitled
to vote unless they are under conviction
and sentence. Persons who are known to
have bet on the result of an election, or
who have personal and private motives for
desiring the success of one party are ie-
barred from voting by the State constiLu
ton. A person guilty OF bribery and Of
tenders against the elective franchise are
also debarred. OF course. residence quail
ifcation is fixed-a year in the State. four
months In the county, and thirty days in
the election district
The law of New York provides against
the possibility OF an employer controlling
the votes of his employees by making it
obligatory on him to grant two hours. at
least. on election day to his men, without
loss OF pay. in which to allow them to
vote. The employer may designate any
two hours during the voting day. however.
for this absence, and in big factories 1t
might not be possible for all engaged to
vote. An employer who refuses to allow
this two hours is guilty under the State
law, of misdemeanor and may be prose-
cuted in the criminal courts.
A rather curious provision is that which
rests upon the opinion of the Attorney
General of the State, which says: "A
person otherwise qualified whose twenty
first birthday is on the day succeeding
election is entitled to vote" voter who
has received his ballot and is engaged in
preparing 1t at the time of the closing OF
the polls is entitled. also. to vote. &C
cording to the same Attorney General.
