New York, October 27.-In des-
perate effort to put the Brit
ish force in Egypt on war foot,
ing with the greatest possible speed,
all officers OF Egyptian regiments are
hurrying to rejoin their commands.
Their leave was cancelled by an order
issued week ago, but many Of them
we're given until today to complete
preparations for their return to Egypt.
The war Office makes no attempt to
conceal its fear of an uprising in Egypt
and the Soudan during the coming
winter. Last years unrest represented
little but political agitation, but in the
last six months the situation has taken
more serious turn, and general i'm
preston that a Mohammedan holy
war" will be preached soon and that
this will be the signal for widespread
native outbreak.

call OF Sir Eldon Gorst, the governor
general, and the appointment in his
place OF the Girdar of the Soudan,
Sir Reginald Wingate, with the powers
OF a military dictator.

escape of DR.. H. Fl. Crippen, while
aboard the steamer Montress, the Lon

THAT THE grandfather clause" con

THAT THE grandfather clause" con
stitutiopal amendment is valid was de-
cided by the Oklahoma State Supreme
Court Yesterday. The court held also
the the special procedure under which
the amendment was adopted is valid,
all votes not cast against the PROPOSE
ton being counted for it. The grand
father clause" provides that no man
whose grandfather could not vote can
exercise the right Of franchise. 1t Will
thus disfranchise many negroes, whose
s-andfathers were slaves. This move
ment, which was first inaugurated III
southern states, is gradually spreading
in other sections OF the country. The
United States Congress at the close OF
the civil war made negroes who had
Just emerged from cotton and corn
fields voters. 1t was later seen that the
movement was premature aud that the
newly made suffragans were not intelll-
gent voters. AS time goes on 1t Is be-
coming more and more apparent that
ignorance and suffrage are incompatl-
bile.
