OUTBURST OF ENTHUSIASM AT LONDON ¥rom Time Conguering Hero Set Foot in Metropolis Until Disappearance Beneath Portal of Palacd it is One Long Appl e. (Copyright, 1902, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, July 12.—(New York World Ca- blegram—8pecial Telegram.)—There never could have been a more unassuming hero than Londoner's emthusiastically welcbmed today when they opened thelr arms to Lord Kitchener. He reclprocated the welcome with the grim satisfaction characteristic of the man. He accepted the addresses and the compliments of royaities and the wild applause of the crowds with a suspicion of tolerance in hie smile. He went about the hard day's work as if he were per- forming an act of duty and with good- bumored determination. The reception ac- corded him by the people had that touch of spontaneity without which popular ac- clamation lacks the ring of genuineness, but it left this strong, stiil man aimost unmoved. At Southampton he bore with the tedious mrations of self-important local officials ot without symptoms of impatience, and he replied to their long-winded panegyrics in two sentences. Every time he spoke publicly he displayed unmistakable signs of nervousness, but his powerful sel trol never deserted him. His manner to everyone, from the prince pt Wales and Earl Roberts to the en- thusiastic rallroad porter who held out his * hand for a shake (that was coldly given) was the same. He wore a new unorna- ‘mented khaki uniform. As he stepped out of the train at Paddington station he towered above everybody, and his smart, business-like dress made the brilllant scar- let uniforms of the general staff look vul- gar and artificlal. The prince of Wales greeted him with unaceustomed animation, grasping his right band warmly and at the same time laying the other hand upon Lord Kitchenei Lord Kitchener saluted him with tl smile he bestowed on everybody el was no effusiveness, still less, any air of puperiority, but a genial modesty of de- eanor infinitely attractive. His speak- ing volce Is rich, full and indeed melo- dious. His speeches are brief, almost curt 0 form, still tinged with honest feeling. Has Grown Stout the gatmt shadow he appeared when he returned from the Soudan, but he still retains a spare, ldierly figure and the precision of move- ent of a man whou every act is guided by system and method. Lord Roberts’' 'head reached only about three buttons above Lord Kitchener's belt. They presented a striking contrast, as Jord Kitchener, with his right hand raised against his peaked cap in formal salute, advanced to meet his chief, who had both kands outstretched in welcome. As Lord Kitchener drove through the cheering throngs to St. James' palace he glanced around, half amusedly, as he bowed. His Wttitude throughout, in face of demonstra- w of admiration calculated to turn the of any man, was suggestive of agree- @ble but subdued surprise. Before he visited the king and the queen, Lord Kitchener had changed his uniform and ‘\undergone a drastic process of fumigation, fest be might carry smallpox—which ap- on the steamship which brought im trom Cape Town to Southampton—to eady aficted royal pala But he bore everything with cheerful resignation and spoke everywhere in the fewest words possible. Arrival at Southampton. . BOUTHAMPTON, July 12.—The steamer Orotava, which left Capetown June with Lord Kitchener and stafft on board, ar- rived here at half past § o'clock this morn- Owing to the fact that Major Gordon, ‘who was also a passenger on the steamer, bad been stricken with smallpox, Lord Kitchener and his staft only were allowed | to land. The Orotava has been placed in quarantine. " Lord Kitchener landed at 9:15 a. m. He was accorded a magnificent welcome from % huge throng of people.

In reply Lord Kitchencr declared that ‘Wwhatever success had been ved wi ue to the rank and file of the army. thanked those who had looked after the friends and relatives of those left behind in South Africa. In response to clamorous calls General ¥rench and General Ian Hamilton spoke, the former remarking that they had throughout been inspired by the example bf their chlefs. The freedom of the borough was con- ferred on Lord Kitchener and the party was then obliged to hurry away in order to meet thelr London engagements. The progress of Lord Kitchener and his com panions to the rallroad station wi arked by scenes of remarkable en- thuslasm. Popular Hero In London, LONDON, July 13.—~Lord Kitchener reached London at 48 p. m., and his progress through the metropolis was one of the most memorable of the many remark- able events of the last three years. The bmall procession of carriages contalning the general and bis staff, in simple. service- wble veldt dress, lacked spectacular features, but evidently the crowd was there in its tens of thousands to see the man of the Bour and not & pageant. From the moment be set. foot In London to the time of his disappearance beneath the portal of St. James palace, Kitchener recelved such an outburst of popular en- thusiasm as quite overshadowed the demon- Strations on previous and similar occasions.

July 12.—(New York World Ca- blegram — Speeclal Telegram.)—Sergeant Sheridan, lately of the Irieh constabulary, but now living In Boston, was the subject of the most exciting debate of the season in the House of Commons Thursday night. The Irish “natlonalists made fin their speeches the charges: “That when sta- tioned in County Clare some years ago, Sheridan, conspiring with several of his eiibordinate constables, committed a of agrarian crimes for which they ar and convicted by perjured testimony inno- cont men in that locality connected with the Irish natlonalist organization; that those conviction were obtained through juries from which every Catholic and na- tionallst was excluded by the government prosecuting lawyers; that in one case alone Sheridan got four men convicted of crimes it has since been absolutely proved me com- mitted bimself; that those four men were sentenced to three years penal servitude and one actually died in prison of a broken heart; that about a year ago John Dillon got Information which enabled him to com- pel Irish Secretary Wyndham to inquire into the charges against Sheridan, Wynd- bam promlsing that If the charges were found to be true, full punishment should bo meted out to all concerned; that Wynd- ham's inquiry fully established the gullt ot Sheridan and his police accomplices, but Sher'dan threatened that if the government dared to punish him he would expose the superfors who had connived at his dee in order to create a prejudice against the Irish nationalist organization; that there- fore Sheridan was not only allowed to leave the country, but got a handsome contribution from the government secret service fund to start him on a fresh ca- reer in the United States. These were the charges made out against the government of Ireland by the Irish party, and every allegation, except that respeoting the secret service money, was admitted by Wyndham and his attorney general. The Irish party intends to renew the subject later, pressing for a public inquiry into the whole system of subsidized police and criminality in Ireland. ANXIOUS FOR CORONATION King Has in Mind Position of Queen Alexandra in Case He Should Die Unerowned. (Copyright, LONDO! (Copyright, 1902, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, July 12.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—King Edward certainly will be crowned August 9 unless something unforeseen prevents. Saturday was chosen by the king because it being a balt-holiday the least possible disturb- ance to business will be caused, and, being followed by Sunday, the festivities will be confined to ome day. The secret of this hurrying on of the ceremony lles in the king's feverish anxiety to get crowned at the earliest possible moment, lest some fur- ther obstacle should arise. It Is a sub- Ject on which be is a prey to superstitious fears. His doctors resisted as long as they could, but finally assented to tl fixing of a date for the oeremony, mxom- sition should retard the patfent’s recovery. Queen Alexandra’s position would be fected it she were widowed without being crowned. That fact also 18 weighing upon the king. Although the most positive and explicit statements have been issued by the authority of the king's doctors that no recurrence of the present trouble is feared, it Is declared that he will always be some- thing of an invalld. This lilness is sald to have changed him from a fresh, wel up man, apparently 50 years old, to a thin, white septuagenarian, Today's bulletin posted at Buckingham palace reads: “King Edward is maki excellent progress. On account of his majestie’s condition bulletins will be is- sued on alternate days only.” NOTABLE DINNERS IN LONDON Leggett and Mr: radley-Mar- the Smartest of Mrs. (Copyright, 1902, by Press Publishing Co.)

The duk must not be confused with Prince Francis Joseph Braganza, ocme of the Austrian mission to the coronation, who is the chief Actor in an odious prosecution which is just now engaging attention in the Southwark police court. Mrs. Leggett's house on Briton street was made beautiful with flowers from Lady DeGrey's conservatory at Combe, it being a condition of Mrs. Leggett's tenancy of the DeGreys’ hou that she take all her frult, flowers and vegetables from them.

It is by no means the ugly ducklings of the coronated arls- tocracy that have developed this ambition, but some of the lovellest in the list of an indication at legst that vanity has not superseded love of sport in the mind of womankind. Among the yachtswomen the marchioness of Londonderry takes the lead. Though the mother of a married daughter, she s scarcely less handsome than when as Lady Theresa Talbot, eldest daughter of the earl of Shrewsbury, she was led to the altar in 1875. Her splendld, regular features, albeit characterized by the arrogance of which Lady Londonderry has throughout her life been thought to have overmuch, are yet the classical ideal. While her husband served as lord lieutenant of Ire- land, the marchioness failed to realize the wide popularity among her people that her predecessor had achieved among the warm-hearted Irish, but her devotion a wife and mother, in contrast to the negli- gence of young society women in general, won her a deep respect and regard. Her daughter, Lady Helen Stewart, recently became the bride of Lord Stavordal. The craft which Lady Londonderry captains has been called the finest small yacht in t world, named The Metuenda—to be foared—the first word of the Londonderry motto—Metuenda Corolla Draconis, 'o Be Feared is the Crest of the Dragon.

LONDON, July 12.—(New York World Cablegram—Special Telegram.)—The grand imperial coronation bazaar in the Botanic gardens has triumphed over storm, raln and mismanagement and the Children's Lospital enterprise will benefit to the ex- tent of at least $100,000. Queen Alexandra opened It Thursday and made numerous purchases, including a muft chain and some Oriental topazes from Mrs. George Keppel In the jewelry stall, for $100. Mrs. Keppel was assisted by Mrs. Arthur Paget, who placed In the queen’s hands the biggest African diamond in existence, sald to be wgtsh $200,000.

The queen was particularly gracfous to the Americans. She ordered half a dozen bottles of preserved peaches from Mra Bradley Martin at 60 cents a bottle. She complimented Mrs. Ronalds on her mas- terly management of the American bar, but could not be induced by Mrs. Chaucey to try a mint julep. She accepted two siiver boxes from Cora, countess of Strafford. From Mrs. Choate and Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, who superintended the American court, the queen bought Presi- dent Roosevelt's “The Strenuous Lif which ‘she took away ufder her arm, and three volumes of Dana Gibson's sketches, which she ordered sent to Buckingham palace. From Consuelo, duchess of Man- chester, she bought a tortolse shell cigar case for the king, which she also took away. Ambassador Choate went around buying Hberally and in most cases he returned the articles to the stallholders to sell again. ‘Whitelaw Reld was another generous buyer. Mrs. Richardson Clover and Miss Bea- trice Clover assisted Mrs. Choate. Mrs. Ronald’s assistants included Mrs. Foxhall Keene, Mrs. Newhouse, Miss DeYoung and Lady Grey-Egerton. The duchess of Marlborough, dressed in one of her Ascot frocks, looked charming. She was very busy at the china stall, but the queen bought nothing there. Mrs. Parker Deacon, though not en- gaged at any stall, bought freely all around.

PARIS, July 12.—(New York World Cable- gram—Special Telegram.)—King Alphonso has captured the hearts of his subjects. According to the Madrid correspondent of Figaro, this 16-year-old monarch has al- ready shown himself of so firm a character, as well as quick and supple of mind, that he has kept his ministers in constant won- derment as to what he would do next. Some days ago the king, who arises very early, quitted the palace at 8 o'clock. Mounted on horseback and accompanied by the prince of Asturias, he presented himselt without preliminary announcemtnt at the artillery barracks. He had the trumpets and bugles sounded, the pleces mounted, the regiment formed and setting out at its head made a promenade on the streets, passing in front of the windows of the royal palace, where the queen mother was awalting his arrival. This surprise was not quite agreeable, it is sald, for the chief of the regiment and the minister of war have been puzzled to decide whether the king has a right to order out a regiment without the knowledge of the captain general or the war minister. Military etiquette has no part in the pub- le's consideration, however, and all Mad- rid voted the boy king a preux chevaller. At the councils of his ministers Alphonso speaks very well, and always has an opin- fon on the various subjects under consider- ation. If decorations are to be bestowed he is careful to sift all the evidence in each case. “It you could know,” sald the count of Romanoes, minister of public Instruction, “how difficult the king is to deal with in awarding tite honorary distinctions. Instead of having a child to deal with, his counsels lors find themselves in the presence of & s Recently at 6 o'clock in the morning Mad- rid was awakened by a terrific explosioh. The detonation reached even to the palace, doors and windows flying open with a vio- lence that suggested an assault by sur- prise. The powder magazine of the Cora: bunchel encampment had exploded with lorrible list of dead and wounded as the result. Immediately the king, who had ai- ready risen, left with his aide-de-camp, General Harcourt, in a carriage drawn by four horses, for the scene of the disaster. He visited the ruins and the wounded and gave 50 francs to each person. Having in- formed himself of the whole matter, he re- turned to the palace. At 9 o’'clock, when the council met, one of the ministers began to explain the catastrophe. “Yes, yes,” interrupted the king, “I know. I have just come from it,” recount- ing the horror to its least detal BRITISH WANT A WEST POINT Army Reformers Wi Put Sandhurst Endeavor to on Par with LONDON, July 12—~To the dismay of the government the agitation on the subject of “rustification” of the Sandhurst cadets, who were suspected by thelr superior of- ficers of being concerned In the recent incendlary fires at the military college, daily gather more influential supporters. Winston Spencer Churchill and Lord Hugh Cecll now have enlisted Lord Rose- bery, the Duke of Northumberland and hundreds of other prominent men, regard- less of party, In their endeavors to see that justice is done to the twenty-nine “rusticated” cadets. What at first seemed to be a trifiing matter is now a grave source of annoy- ance to the government in spite of en- deavor of the entire ministry, as the Sat- urday Review puts it, to shelter them- selves behind Lord Roberts, the commander in chief. They are still in a dilemma and Lord Roberts has lost more of his waning popularity. Next week the question is likely to be subject of a heated debate in the house of commons. The underlying motive in the movement in behalf of the cadets is the universal desire to probe the war office in- efficiency and to make Sandhurst a fit place to train British officers, or, as it is frequently sald here, to put it on a par with West Point, whose system, the army reformers declare, is without equal.

Yates Accidentally Shot by Own Hand in Hiawatha, Kan, HAWATHA, Kan, July 12.—(Special Telegram.)—Brent K. Yates, owner and manager of the Yates Drug company, of this clgy, accidentally shot himself in the rear of his store bullding at 10 o'clock this mworning. He had been shooting at some birds and a mark in the back yard and In loading the target rifie accidentally dis- charged the plece, the bullet entering the body just above the stomach, and ranging upward, lodged under the left shoulder blade. Mr. Yates died in twenty minutes after the accident. The prescription clerk was talking to a customer in the front of the store and they heard the report of the gun and immediately followed by a groan from Mr. Yates. Hurry- ing to the rear of the store they saw him fall. The rifie lay by the door. Mr. Yates was born in Hiawatha thirty- three years ago and learned the drug business in the store, in which he died, under the supervision of his father. After completing his education he re-entered Yale, completing the law course in 1389. From there he went to Omaha, where he practiced for a couple of years, when he moved to St. Louls and continued the prac- tice of law. About three years ago Mr. Yates returned to this city to take charge of the drug business his father left at his death. He leaves a wife, a brother, two sisters and his mother. Mr. Yates was a member of the Masonic fraternity. No arrangements have as yet been made for the funeral. TRACY LOCATED ONCE MORE Ofcers Belleve the Oregon Convict 1s Wounded and Now Sur. rounded. RAVENSDALE, Wai July 12.—Harry Tracy, the hunted outlaw, is undoubtedly in the country between Covington, Frank- lin and Ravensdale. At present guards are out as far as Fraoklin on the east and along the northern Pacific tracks. A strong posse is leading from Auburn. He is wounded. Sheriff Cudihee says there is no ques- tion that Tracy is nearly used up. The sheriff belloves the chase s nearing an end. He says the utmost vigilance will be used and it will be impossible for the outlaw to get out of King county on any rallroad train, consequently he must walk, and as the roads are watched and every farmhouse so well covered that a visit would be reported within a few house, it seems to him that before many hours the man bunt will be over. Tracy was last seen on Green river about two miles south- west of Black Diamond last night by Frank Pautoto, a rancher. The convict passed in front of Pautoto's house and a short dis- tance beyond it took to the brush. Pautoto was so frightened that he passed the night at the house of another rancher.

THREE HUNDRED SHORT OF NORMAL FORCE Officials Say Number of Machinists is Only Blightly Decreased. | SERIOUS PROBLEM AT NORTH PLATTE More Men at Work at Grand Island Than Berore Strike and Company Proposes to Farther In- erease Number. More than four weeks have elapsed sincs the strike In the Union Pacific shops was declared and each side is apparently as determined as If the struggle had just begun. The strikers are basing thelr claims of success upon the assertion that none of their men, or at least a very in- significant number, has gone back into the company's employ, while the officlals of the railroad produce an array ot stern figures to show that they have & com- paratively good-sized force, sufficient, they claim, to meet the demands made upon the shops at this season of the year. Each side expresses absolute confidence in the ultimate outcome of the fight. The officlals of the road insist that thelr mo- tive power has not been injured or jeop- ardized by this strike and they are pro- ceeding with their affairs, thoy afirm, in- different to the strikers. The latter make persistent clalms that they have suc. ceeded in seriously affecting the motive power of the raflroad and crippled its shop facilities to such an extent that the company will be forced within a short time to adopt some different policy. Company Produces Figures, To demonstrate the actual conditions, an official of the Union Pacific Saturday pro- duced some figures taken from Lis daily report sheet, which show the status in each shop on the system. Beginning with Omaha, the schedule shows that in the local shops, Council Bluffs and the outround- houses the company now has in its em- play a total of 676 men, which Is about 800 less than the normal force in these places. In the Omaha shops alone there are sald to be 510 men in all cepartments. About 65 per cent of the original number of machinists in the Omaha shops are work, according to the reports of the company. This shows, therefore, that the number of all employed is well propor- tloned as to the different crafts. Of course the company does not claim that this num- ber is made up of old employes, but of those who have been imported and those who did not strike, The number of machinists now at work in the Omaba sbops is, aceordifg 1o the company's statement, within three or four of the original number. At Armstrong the force is said to be al- most of normal size. A large number of strikers, it is sald, have returned to work and the rest of the places have been filled by outside men. The company has ceased employing men thore. At Cheyefine the total numbsr of shop- men now in actlve service is 344, Of ‘his number twenty-two are skilled machinists and about half the normal blacksmith force is at work. These reports from the three largest shops on the system show that the company has enough men at work to make @ falr showing. At Other Points Normal sized forces are sald to be at work at Ellis, Junction City and Sallna, Kan. Denver reports three-fourths of a force at work In the bollermakers and ma- chinists’ departments and full forces in other departments of the shops. At Gres River a full force is employed and at Evanston, where the men were so slow to strike, seventeen machinists are reported t work, as agalnst seven befor and seven boilermakers inst five be- fore. North Platte has. presented the most serious problem the company has yet to contend with. The men there wi in quandry for some time and finally striking they are among the most determined of any on the system. Notwithstanding these facts the officlals declare that a foree of 176 men is employed in these shops, a fact which they say will suprise the strik- ers. The original number employed at North Platte wi 3 of those now at work t twenty- four machinists’ helpers and sixteen men are engaged in the boller shops, though no real bollermakers are at work. In the remainder of ti partments the force is ot'a normal size. The officials regard North Platte as their weakest point and yet ome of them sald Saturday that it would be the easiest to handle as soon as they decided to take hold of it in earnest. Gry Island Forece In The reports from Grand Island show & larger force of men at work than before the strike. As was stated in The Bee some days ago, this shop's force is to be en- larged still more and it s sald to be the Intention of the company to increase the foree to three times its original size. Asked if those men mow at work in the various shops were on the plecework sys- tem an official of the road Saturday re- olied: No sir, they are getting exactly the wages paid i the shops when the strike begun. No reductions have been made and no plecework has been introduced. We did not Intend to introduce plecework at once any and of cousse, we could mot do such 'a thing with new men even if we wished, There is & great deal of idle talk about this plecework matter. This com- pany could not properly introduce piece work all over its system within less than five yesrs.” The company does not pretend to say that but a very small proportion of those men now in 1t loy are former strikers, but officlals maintain that the most of them are compeient men. It is fact, they admit, that in the very large majority of cases the strikers have not returned to work. Tho officials profess not to be worrying over whether the strikers return to work. They say they wanted to give their old men & chance to resume their positions and since they have refused to do so, most of them, it s Dot the part of the ‘company to lose sleep over the matter. It continues to bring in new men and will keep on in this line, the officlals say. Thirty-seven non- union men were imported into the Omaha shops Saturday from Chicage and more will be brought later.
