Every effort should bo made to thwart the attempt that is beiug made, iu the interest of Conservative candidate .Fletcher, to deprive nearly five hundred British subjects of tho privilege of voting afc the coming provincial election. The applications of this large number of citizens duly qualified by law to have their names placed on the voters' list of Nelson riding are objected to by George B..G. O'Driscoll, Jlobert Corlett, and Charles Henry Palmer, who are merely aetiug as % tools in the interest of the local Conservative Association, whose members are actively supporting Frank 'Fletcher iu his efforts to become a member of the legislative assembly. Thk Trijwne stands for provincial rights, and today its managers will take up the fight of fie men who are being robbed of a political right by a gang of as uu- bciupulous politicians as Avere ever congregated iu a single community in Canada.

Geueral Ian Hamilton is. bivouacking afc Jacobspruit 15 miles north of Thaba Nehu. General Tucker's division is moving eastward from Karee siding. The divisions oi. generals French and Rundle are iii and near Thaba Nehu. Thus lord Roberts has 50,000 men operating.- clear of the railway along, aj;, front of; forty- miles. He is advancing slowly with some successes,but nothing decisive. Yet at all points Jof concentration the Boers appear'inforce sufficient to compel the BVitish to proceed with caution. The wide front in a rugged, country���-; makes turnin g movements often difficult;. Observers at headquarters iu Bloemfontein seem to "think that the Boers are preparing to evacuate Brandfort and Ladybrand. The Boers still holding Thaba Nehu district are estimated at 4000. Thoy have among their guns a forty pounder. One correspondent writing from Bloemfontein, Wednesday, afc 1:15, said the British hoped to cut off the'wholje'cpmmaudo. The Bloemfontein\correspondent of the Standard, telegraphing May 2nd, says: "I have just ridden hither from Thaba Nehu along the line of our advance, east of Bloemfontein. The distance is fully forty miles and yet almost evei y point ot concentration iscoutested by enemy. "General Rundle with the eighth division is posted on our right flank with orders to guard a strong and boldly outlineji frontal position iu a country of decidedly difficult nature. ,There the Boers have posted a number of guns of superior weight and ra'nge to our own. ^However, they show no disposition to do more than to keep iu touch with us, and to harass our advance. Further to the, west general fan Hamilton with his division of mounted infantry is pressing northward, encountering only a desultory Ure. The Highland brigade from Valkranfc-' lias been engaged, while general1 Tucker, commanding the seventh \livision has-moved eastward from Karee siding and has returned south followed by the Boers. Nevertheless, the cavalry, owing to the greater number of the enemy,r have. been prevented from completing the movement that was intended to encircle the Boers on the march to Brandfort, and .tho enemy are now prepared to offer stubborn opposition on an entrenched hill to the southeast of Kroonstadt. They will probably abandon that position as soon as their stores have been moved north of the Vet river. General Tucker's attempt to advance on Brandfort showed the enemy to be inconsiderable strength. The colonial cavalry were engaged and they-losfc-twenty- horses while under fire from pom-poms." The British have captured Brandfort;. Wardener, Idaho, transferred a quarter interest in the Half Eagle claim situated ou the north side of Sheep creek, consideration $2500. William Lambert of Nelson conveyed to Ole Skatbo and O. Lund of Nolson tho Ladysmith and Buller claims on the government road between Sandy aiid Eagle creeks. BROWN FINANCE MINISTER Latest Political Shuffles. . Vancouver, May 3.���[Special to ���the Tribune.] ��� J. C. Brown of Westminster,' the "Winchester", of bygone political-days, went down to Victoria this afternoon to be I Isworn in:as minister of finance. This was the news given out by prominent supporters of premier Martin. Mr. Brown himself would have little to say, merely stating that he objected on principle to telling of things before thoy happened. Tt is given on good authority that the Columbian newspaper has been purchased by the Conservatives.

During the past two weeks some i5.10'applications have been filed with the collector of votes to be placed upon the voters' list. The applications came chiefly from members of the different labor unions, aud as the Conservative managers were convinced that their candidate could not rely upon the support of labor sympathizers they found creatures who permitted tho ti.se of their names upon which to enter the objections to 489 electors. The men who do the dirty work for the Conservative party in Nel sou did nofc enter a protest against any name entered upon tlio voters' lis>t, because in this event the electors so challenged would have a chance to foe lieard and tho formal objections to' their right to vote would be easily disposed of. instead of this the Conservative party's managers seek to take advantage of a technicality in the Elections Act, and havo protested every application to vote which has been made by labor .sympathizers and which has not beon posted a sufficient time to be placed upon tho voters' list. There is one way ia which tho electors so unjustly dealt with may hope to defeat tho scheme of candidate Fletcher's campaign managers and this is to file at once a declaration that they are duly (jualified voters and that they have complied with all the requirements of the Elections Act. For the convenience of the voters whom it is sought to disfranchise, the services of a commissioner for taking oaths may be had at The Tkiuune offices after 12 o'clock noon today.

A special correspondent of the Montreal Herald gives the follow- ing= sketch of the capital of the Orange Free State. Bloemfontein has the air of a busy place. The streets are crowded with soldiers, army wagons and horses, moving and crowding all day long. The shops are pretty well depleted, as no fresh supplies- have come in for five months or since the war began. The price of all articles is extravagantly high. But the military governor is trying' to prevent extortion by fixing the maximum price of all articles of food, but competition among corps is so great there is little doubt but that'higher prices are paid for many articles. Flour is one pound per 100 pounds; bread, three pence halfpenny per pound ; sugar, four pounds ten shillings per 100 pounds; eggs, - two shillings per dozen; butter,.two shillings per pound, etc. Lord Roberts, who has taken up his quarters in Government House, or,;as it is called here, the Presidency, is rather comfortable. The Presidency is a large, handsome, well-furnished building, larger and better than any government house in Canada. The furniture is costly and ^handsome. But this magnificent, large government house occupied, by, the president and his family, strange as it may appear; does not possess a single bath. This is the more strange, as there are waterworks in the eity and water is laid on to the house. The parliament buildings, government offices and in fact all buildings here have a squatty appearance, as they seldom rise above one storey in height. They are, however, well and substantially built, and present an-air of durability that is lacking elsewhere in some -parts of South Africa.- All-busincss here isdone in English : in fact it ��� is the common language spoken by all white people. The shops are owned by English people and the professional class is almost altogether English. The manner in which the news of the capture of Bloemfontein reached the outside world will be of some' interest. The telegraph line to the south was cut by the Boers ; to the west the field telegraph was useless, as it had broken down. Notwithstanding this, London readers had a full account of the surrender on the second day after the capitulation. Tho distance from Bloemfontein to Kimberley is about 100 miles. , Three despatch riders set out from Bloemfontein during tho evening of Tuesday or the earliest dawn of, AVednesday. Oitie was for the "London Times, a second i'or Router's Agency and the third for the Daily Mail, London, England. Out from the city tho despatch riders went, making~their"way~in~the "darkness or in the dawn over the red slushing tracks that had suffered tho steady downpour of the night';** rain. The breakdown of%a horse meant a delay that might be reckoned in days or hour*>. The Tunes rider mot with disaster early. The horse he rode fell, causing a delay * iu reaching the next station. The Daily Mail .rider was still more unfortunate. In the dim light of dawn he rode against a barbed wire fence, and to terribly lacerated his horse's legs that further riding was out of the question. Binding up his scratches, ho found himself compelled to walk back thirty-five miles to Bloemfontein, unable to ride. So the Times and Reuter's agency, each armed with duplicate despatches from tho. commander-in- chief, were left to compote in the race for Kimberley. In the afternoon, Wednesday, bullets whistled past the riders as they hurried on. Time was precious,' and the riders urged their horses with all speed. Router's rider came in first, covering the entire distance on three horses in twenty hours and twenty minutes, wliich is a record that has not been excelled. The Times rider came in several hours later. The enormous expense of forwarding war news in this manner can only be borne by press associations or newspapers like the Loudon Times.
