Further Invasion of Cape Colony Il
Exnected.

Further Invasion of Cape Colony is
Expected.
Cape Town. Feb. 4.-The govern
ment reports a combined movement
by several Orange River commanders
from the north and northeast in q
southerly direction. 1t. is anticipated
that another attempt may be made to
enter the Cape Colony. The British
forces are making a corresponding
movement. A portion of the British
troops arc hanging onto the rear of the
Beers. Others are being sent from the
south to meet the burghers.
The position in the western part of
the colony has not materially altered.
The Boer advance parties who re.
Gently entered the Clanwilliam dis.
trict seem to all have fallen back. In
the central district the Beers have had
two skirmishes with Colonel Gorrin's
column. The burghers lost several
killed and captured. The invaders
were driven into the Konga noun
tains, where they are now. The rest
of the colony is quiet, with the ex-
ception of the country between Steyns-
burg and Venterstadt, where several
small bodies of Beers are reported.
One of these bodies recently crossed
from the Orange River colony.

Supreme Court Decision on lowa'o
Biennial Election Law.

Biennial Election Law.
Des Moines, Feb. 4.-The supreme
court has affirmed the decision of the
lower court in declaring that the III
tus biennial election law adopted last
November at the polls by 10000 ma
jcrity was null and void. The effect
of the decision necessitates the hold
ing of general state election this
fall in Iowa.
The interest aroused in the case has
been general throughout the state
as all political parties have been wait
ing to hear the result before the work
of preparing for a campaign should
start. A call will be issued within the
coming week for meeting of the Re.
publican state central committee to
select date for the holding of a state
convention.
The court, in rendering its opinion,
signed it "per curiam," there not being
dissenting voice. 1t is contended
that the passage of the amendment
by the two legislatures which is ne
cessitated by the requirements of the
constitution, was accompanied by de-
fects and of vital nature. The
amendment was first introduced by
Senator Titus of Muscatine in 1893
ind the records of the journals show
that the passage was In accord with
the provisions of the constitution. The
legislature of 1900 in making the err
tries upon the journals referred to the
amendment only by title, while the
constitution requires that it should he
entered in full. This last act was
given chief consideration in the writ

Windsor. Feb. 5.-The last honors
Her body. now rests peacefully beside
that of her husband in the mausole-
um ut Frogmore. The final cereno.
nies were more of pathetic charac-
ter than any of the obsequies which
preceded them. Shortly before 3
O'Clock. in the presence of the royal
mourners. the Grenadier guard of
honor lifted the coffin from its.tempo-
rary resting place in the Albert Me-
mortal chapel and placed it on gun
carriage. In the meanwhile the
queens company Of Grenadiers,
drawn up in a quadrangle, presented
arms and held their rifles at the re-
verse and with slow measured steps
marched towards the mausoleum.
At the head of the procession was a
band playing Chopin's funeral march.
Slowly the cortege passed under the
massive archway on the long walk,
which was mass of black, brilliant
ly edged with scarlet Life guards
men kept the crowds back. In place
on the gun carriage was the same
regalia which attracted the attention
OF thousands since the march to the
grave began at Osborne. Close be-
hind walked the king, Emperor Will
lam and the Duke of Connaught,
wearing dark military overcoats and
plumed cooked hats and looking pale
and careworn. In similar dull attire
were the kings of Portugal and Bel
GUM. All heads were bent. The
blue and gray of the German princes
redeemed the royal group from
Perfect Somberness of Color.
Beside these walked Queen Alexan-
dria and the royal princesses deeply
veiied. The rear of the procession
was brought up by the suites of the
kings and princes, their vari-colored
overcoats forming striking patch of
color. Down the long walk with the
band still playing Chopin's dirge, this
quiet throng slowly made its way to
the mausoleum. The horses attached
to the gun carriage were inclined to
be restive. but, as an extra precau.
tfon, a drag of rope was attached to
the wheels and held by sturdy artil-
lerymen. At the lodge gates the
strains of the band died way and the
pipers commenced their lament
There, between the broad avenue of
stately trees, the crowd was thickest,
forming dense black banks.
By $3.50 p. m. the crowned bier had
passed into the old lodge which leads
from the Frogmore enclosure, where
none but the family were admitted.
The choir met them and they entered
the burial place so dear to the late
queen and ranged themselves on each
side of the coffin. The bishop OF Win
chester read the larger part of the
burial service. After further singing
by the choir the benedictlon was CIV
en- and amidst the privacy of the fam
lily tomb the last farewell was said.
the funeral came to an end, the
mourners drove to the castle and the
crowds dispersed.
