CHIEF DEYERY INDICTED.
he Is Accused Of Interfering with the State
Superintendent of Elections.

Superintendent Of Elections.
New York, Nov. 5.-It is reported that
Chief of Police Devery has been indict-
ed for alleged interference with State
Superintendent of Elections John Nc
Cullaugh. At 2:30 o'clock he hurried
from police headquarters excaiming:
They're crazy, they're crazy, McCul-
laugh has had me indicted for .aterfer-
ing with him in election business"
The difference between Chief of Police
Devery and State Superintendent of
Elections McCullaugh are due to dis
pute as to the right of a challenged man
to swear in his vote if state deputy
wishes to arrest him. Devery claims
neither state deputy nor city police
man has the right to make an Arrest un-
til after the vote is cast. McCullaugh
holds it is the purpose of the law to pre-
vent the casting of an illegal ballot and
arrests should be made even without a
warrant before the challenged man
votes Chief Devery said he would is
sue instructions to the policemen to
take the advice of the board of inspect
ors in the matter of aresting voters for
whom there We're warrants, but if the
board thought the man should be al
lowed to vote the policeman should per-
NIT him to do so, and then Arrest him.
If the board decided that vote should
not be cast, the policeman should make
the Arrest before casting the ballot
Chief Devery was released on $1,000
bail. Assistant District Attorney
O'Reilly said: 1.-THE indictment does not
charge an overt act, and without the
of an overt act there could
be no interference. The indictment will
NOT hold wafer"

were finally harmonized by a union in
TO one republic. In 1913 the gronwet.
or fundamental law, was passed by a
special volksraad elected for the pur-
pose. and II still remains as the nomi-
nal constitution of the country.
But the Beers found themselves un-
able to cope with the savage natives,
VINO harassed them on every side and
threatened the security not only of the
Beers themselves, but of their British
nelghDors. Yielding partly to a desire
Tor self protection. partly to show of
British force. the Beers consented to
annexation with the British empire in
spite or the protest of Dom Paul Kru-
ger and other sturdy minded Young
patriots.
so FOR awhile the Beers and British
fought the blacks side. by side, but the
Beers fretted under the British yoke
and under the plea that Britain had not
performed her promises they rose in
rebellion in 1880 and. after the bloody
victory of Majuba Hill. succeeded in
again establishing their independence
subject to the suzerainty of her mai
esty." The treaty which contained
these words was signed at Pretoria in
August, 1881.
In 1883 the Beers sent a deputation
TO London to secure the abolition of
the suzerainty. Gladstone was in DOW.
er then. and under his leadership a new
agreement was signed by which Eng
land gave up her rights of suzerainty
except in regard to treaties with for
eign powers and the Orange Free
State. This was signed in London in
1854 and the documents are now
known as the London conventions. The
Interpretation of this agreement was
the subject of the discussion which has

the native tribes. The British contest
ed the alleged right. In 1884 enamel
patton was proclaimed in the Colony,
which till then had been peopled by
British and Dutch alike.
What added to the grievance of the
Boer was that the slaveowners among
them received as compensation orders
on London which they were compelled
to cash ON the ST vt at ruinous rates.
The great exodus, or trek, of 1896
was the result. Some 6OOO Beers by a
concerted movement abandoned Cape
Colony and moved on to the unknown
interior. The bitter memory of their
sufferings from hunger and thirst and
from the "ttacks Of savage natives re-
mains legacy Of hatred among
their descendants to this day.
At the Orange river the trekkers di-
vided into two parties. one of which
founded the Orange Free State. The
other, continuing farther eastward,
founded Natal. Both states were con-
quered by the English. majority Of
the Beers, once more fleeing from Brit
1sh thraldom. crossed the river Vaal
and intrenched themselves in their
present position in the Transvaal.
Here four rival sovereignties were
established whose internecine feuds

ly disposed as was Mr.. Gladstone de-
clares that the alien laws of the Trans
vaal republic constitute a breach OF
the London conventions and that con-
sequently said documents are annulled.
Hence, he argues, the suzerainty IL
still in force.
Possibly there is a flaw in Mr. Cham
berlain's argument, but it is backed up
by British guns. This sort Of reason
ing has won before, but not against
the Beers.
Although in 1884 England definitely
and specifically renowned all right to
interfere in the internal government
of the TrAnsvaal, she now makes a
very distinct demand. She says the
volksraad must pass n law which will
make any white man eligible to full
rights of citizenship after five years
