It is probable that the young man, whose name is Lieutenant Eloff, will have to leave the army in consequence. It is said that the President is extremely annoyed that these remarks were made, and has ordered Lieutenant Eloff never to mention the Queen's name in public again. New York City came very near having to build up a new charter.
