July 12. (New York World Ca blegram BpecUl Telegram.) There never could have been a more unassuming hero than Londoner's enthusiastically wolefcmed today when they opened their arms to Lord Kitchener. He reciprocated the welcome with the grim satisfaction characteristic of the man. He accepted the addreses ana the compliments of royalties and the wild applause of the crowds with a suspicion of tolerance in his smile. He went about the hard day'a work as If he were per forming an act of duty and with good- humored determination. The reception ac corded him by the people had that touch ef spontaneity without which popular ac elamatlon lacks the ring of genuineness, but It left this strong, still man almost unmoved. At Southampton he bore with the tedious rations 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 hla powerful self-con trol never deserted him. - Hla manner to everyone, from the prlnoe lot Wales and Earl Roberts to the en thuslaatlo railroad porter who held out his band for a shake (that was coldly given)- 'was the same. He wore a new unorna tented khaki uniform. As he stepped out of the train at Paddtngton station he towered above everybody, and his smart. business-like dress made the brilliant scar let uniforms of the general staff look vul gir and artificial. The prince of Wales greeted him with Unaccustomed animation, grasping bis right band warmly and at the same time laying the other band upon lord Kitchener's arm. Lord Kitchener saluted him with the same mile he beatowed on everybody else. There Was no effusiveness, still less, any air of superiority, but a genial modesty of de tneanor Infinitely attractive. His speak ing voice is rich, full and Indeed melo dlous. His speeches are brief, almost curt n form, still tinged with honest feeling.

Lord Roberts' ' head reached only about three buttons above Lord Kitchener's belt They presented a striking contrast, as Lord Kitchener, with his right hand raised Against his peaked cap In formal salute, advanoed to meet bis chief, who had both j bands outstretched in welcome. As Lord Kitchener drove through the cheering throngs to St. James' palace be glanced around, half amusedly, aa he bowed. His Attitude throughout, in face of demonstra tions of admiration calculated to turn the bead of any man, was suggestive of agree able but subdued surprise. Before be visited the king and the queen, Lord Kitchener bad changed hla uniform and 'undergone a drastic process of fumigation, eat be might carry smallpox which ap peared on the ateamshlp which brought him from Cape Town to Southampton to the already afflicted royal palace. But be bora everything with cheerful resignation and spoke everywhere in the fewest words possible. ' Arrival at Southampton. . SOUTHAMPTON, July IS. The steamer Orotava, which left Capetown June 23, with Lord Kitchener and staff on board, ar rived here at half past 8 o'clock this morn ing. . Owing to the fact that Major Gordon, who was also a passenger on the steamer, bad been stricken with smallpox, Lord Kitchener and his staff only were allowed to land. The Orotava haa been placed In quarantine. ' Lord Kitchener landed at 1:15 a. m. He Was accorded a magnificent welcome from huge throng of people. After a brief VifBctal reception at the dock the general )was driven through the decorated and Crowded streets to Hartley hall, where he received an address from the chamber of commerce, expressing admiration of the generalship, resource and skill which he bad shown in South Africa, and hoping . that the peace which he had secured would be lasting and mark the beginning of a ttew epoch of prosperity and commercial development throughout the empire. In reply Lord Kltcheucr declared that whatever auccess bad been achieved was flue to the rank and file of the army. He thanked those who had looked after the friends and relatives of those left behind In South Africa. In response to clamorous calls General French and General lan Hamilton spoke, the former remarking that they had throughout been Inspired by the example bf their chiefs. The freedom of the borough was con ferred on Lord Kitchener and the party was then obliged to hurry away in order to meet their London engagements. The progress of Lord Kitchener and his com panions to tbe railroad - station was tnarked by scenes of remarkable en thusiasm. Fopalar Hera la London. LONDON. July ' 11. Lord Kltchsner reached London at 12:48 p. m., and his progress through tbe metropolis was one of the most memorable of the many remark' able events of the last three years.

Sergeant Bhertdan. lately of the Irleh constabulary, but now living In Boston, was the subject of the most exciting debste of the sesson In the House of Commons Thursdsy night. The Irish 'nationalists made in their speeches the charges: "That when sta- tloned In County Clare some years ago, Sheridan, conspiring with several of his siibaidlnate constables, committed a aeries of agrarian Crimea for which they arrested snd convicted by perjured testimony Inno cent men In that locality connected with the Irish nationalist organization; that those conviction were obtained through Juries from which every Catholic and na tionalist was excluded by the government prosecuting lawyers; that in one ease alone Sheridan got four men convicted of crimes it has since been absolutely proved he com mitted himself; that those four men were eentenced to three years penal servitude snd 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 ham promising that If tbe charges were found to be true, full punishment should bo meted out to all concerned; that Wynd barn's Inquiry fully established the guilt of Sheridan and his police accomplices, but fiber dan threatened that If the government dared to punish him he would expose the superiors who bad connived at bis deeds 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 freah ca reer In the United States. These were the charges made out egainst the government of Ireland by the Irish party, and every allegation, except that respecting the secret service money, was admitted by Wyndham and hla attorney general.

Saturday was choson by the king because It being a half-holiday the least possible disturb ance to business will be caused, and, being followed by Sunday, the festivities will be confined to one day. The secret of this hurrying on of the -ceremony lies In the ktng'a feverish anxiety to get crowned at the earliest possible moment, lest some fur ther obstacle should arise. It Is a sub Ject on wblch be Is a prey to superstitious fears. His doctors resisted aa long as they could, but finally assented to tbe fixing of a -date for the ceremony, les oppo sition snouia retard toe patience recovery. Queen Alexandra's position would be af fected if she were widowed without being crowned. That fact alao is weighing upon the king. Atthough the most positive and explicit statements have been Issued by the authority of the king's doctors that no recurrence of the present trouble ie feared It Is declared that he will always be some thing of an invalid. This Illness is said to have changed him from a fresh, well set up man, apparently E0 years old, to a thin. white septuagenarian. Today's bulletin posted at Buckingham palace reads: "King Edward Is making excellent progress. . On account of bis majeetle's condition bulletins will be is sued on alternate daya only."

LONDON, July 12. (New York, .Id Cablegram Special Telegram.) ..led English women are winning laurels the tiller, and proving such ardent sailors that the yachtsmen of Great Britain must soon dispute pre-eminence with the most beau tiful array of rivals that ever set wind and wave at defiance. It Is by no means the ugly ducklings of the coronated aris tocracy that have developed this ambition, but some of the loveliest in the list of court beauties, an Indication at least that vanity haa not superseded love of sport In the mind of womankind. Among the yachtswomen the marchioness of Londonderry takes the lead. Though ths mother of a married daughter, she Is scarcely less handsome than when as Lady Theresa Talbot, eldest daughter of the earl of Shrewsbury, she was led to the altar in 1876. Her splendid, 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 aa lord lieutenant of Ire land, the marchioness tailed to realize tho wide popularity a,mong her people that her predecessor bad achieved among the warm-hearted Irish, but her devotion as a wife and mother. In contrast to the negli gence of young society women in general, won ber a deep respect and regard. Her daughter, Lady Helen Stewart, recently became the bride of Lord Stavordal. The craft which Lady, Londonderry captalne haa been called the finest small yacht In the world, named The Metuenda to be feared the flrat word of the Londonderry motto Metuenda Corolla Draconic, "To Be Feared la the Crest of the Dragon." It la built entirely of cedar and mahogany. The metal work Is of silver plated alum inum, with gold beading and scroll work. The sella are of silk, and the yacht baa been rendered unslnkable by metal cases at the bow and stern. She herself has directed the calling of raoee at Cowes and elsewhere and Is regarded aa aa expert In tbe sailing of small yachts. Coontess a Good Angrier. The countess of Annesleyhaslnade - a reputation aa an angler as well as a yachts woman. She accompanies her husband on fishing expeditions and frequently boasts the biggest "catch." Her charming face with lta bright dark eyee and Its expression of gracious sweetness Is, perhaps, better known than any of the contemporary beau ties. Greatly her husband's Junior, she became bis second wife when he bad reached tbe ripe age of 81. She la the granddaughter of Colonel Markham, for many yeare one of tho chief supporters of Melton Mowbray. In addition to the Irish estate tbe Annesley lodge In London, overlooking Regent's park, la one of the show places. The countess makes ber two little daughters companlona of her cruises and is Imbuing them with her love of the sea. Lady Wallscourt as a yachtswoman bas the keen sympathy of her husband, who Is never more happy than when literally under her command on the deck of ber trim craft She Is one of the prominent figures at Cowea during regatta week and is enthuslastlo in all pertaining to her favorite sport. Of slender build, with eye and hair of darkest brown. Lady Wallscourt is of a graceful loveliness that Is particu larly effective in the yachting costume ehe wears. She waa Mlsa Palliser and Is much younger than Lord Wallscourt, whose sec ond wife she Is. Though ho shares all ber love of tbe eea and the turf be' abhors society and can rarely be brought to ap pear at a ball or reception. Knows How to Swim. Swimming la the accomplishment which In the eyee of Lady Constance Butler la the natural concomitant of yachting. Tbe evi dence ehe gives of ber prowess In both arta Is one of the elghte of Cowes, where her father'e (Lord Ormonde's) yacht is lying at anchor. It Is Lady Constance'e dally habit to drop over tbe side for a morning dip. With bold, sure etrokee sbs cuts through the water like a veritable mermaid. Per haps less beautiful than her sister. Lady Beatrice Pole-Carew, ehe nevertheless Is winsome enough to have ruled as a belle in London no less than tn her native Kil kenny, where ehe Is beloved by all the countryside. An experienced aallor, she can race a yacht with any man. SUCCESS TO BE hFs UNDOING Daellat Whoae Skill Haa Made Him a Target fee Xotortety-Seek-tag Stadeats.

(New York World Cable gramSpecial Telegram.) King Alphonso haa captured the' hearts of bis subjects. According to the Madrid correspondent of Figaro, this 18-year-old monarch has al ready shown himself of so firm a character, as well as quick and aupple of mind, that he has kept his ministers In constant won derment aa 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 Asturlas, he presented himself without preliminary announoemtnt at the artillery barracks. He bad the trumpets and bugles sounded, the pieces mounted, the regiment formed and setting out at its head made a promenade on the streets, passing in front of the windowe of the royal palace, where tbe queen mother was awaiting hia arrival. This surprise was hot quite agreeable, It la said, for the chief of the regiment and the minister of war have been puzzled to decide whether the king haa a right to order out a regiment without the knowledge of tbe captain general or the war minister. Military etiquette has no part in the pub lic's consideration, however,, and all Mad rid voted the boy king a preux chevalier. At the councils of his ministers Alphonso speaka very well,, and always has an opin ion on the various subjects under consider ation. If decorations are to be bestowed he Is careful to sift all the evidence in each case. "If you could know," said .tbe count of Romanoes, minister of public Instruction, "how difficult tho king is to deal with In awarding the honorary distinctions. Instead of having a child to deal with, his counsel lore find themselves In tbe presence of a man." Recently at 8 o'clock In tbe morning Mad rid was awakened by a terrific explosion. Tbe 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 bad exploded with a horrible list of dead and wounded aa the result Immediately" the king,-who had al ready risen, left with his aide-de-camp, General Harcourt, in a carriage drawn by tour horses, for the scene of the disaster. He visited the rulne and the wounded and gave 60 franca to each person. Having In formed himself of tbe whole matter, be re turned to tbe palace. At 9 o'clock, when the council met, one of the ministers began to explain tbe catastrophe. "Yes, yes," interrupted the king, "I know. I bave Just come from It," recount ing the horror to its least detail. BRITISH WANT -A WEST POINT Army Reformers Will Endeavor to Pat Sandharat on Par with American Institution. LONDON, July 12. To the dismay of tbe government the agitation on the subject of "rustlflcatlon" of the Sandhurst cadets, who were suspected by their superior of ficers of being concerned In the recent incendiary fires at the military college, daily gather more influential supporters. Winston Spencer Churchill and Lord Hugh Cecil now have enlisted Lord Rose bery, the Duke of Northumberland and hundreds of other prominent men, regard less of party, in their endeavors to aee that Justice la done to tbe twenty-nine "rusticated" cadets. What at first seemed to be a trifling matter la now a grave aource of annoy ance to the government in spite of en deavor of the entire ministry, as the Sat urday Review puta it, to ahelter them selves behind Lord Roberts, the commander in chief. They are atlll In a dilemma and Lord Roberta baa lost more of bis waning popularity. Next week tbe queatlon la likely to be subject of a heated debate tn the bouse of commons. The underlying motive In the movement In behalf of the cadets ia the universal desire to probe tbe war office In efficiency and to make Sandhurat a fit place to train British officers, or, as It la frequently aald here, to put It on a par with West Point, whose eystem, the army reformers declare, Is without equal.

PRODUCES FIGURES TO SHOW STRENGTH Tetal ef 675 lfen ia Bhopi at Omaha aad Council Bluffs. THREE HUNDRED SHORT OF NORMAL FORCE Officials Say Nnmber ef If achi lists is Only Slightly Decreased. SERIOUS PROBLEM AT NORTH PLATTE More Men at Work at Grand Island Than Before Strike aad Company Proposea to Fnrthrr Ia. crease Kumber. More than four weeks bave elapsed elncs the strike tn the Union Taclflc shops was declared and each elde ie apparently aa determined as If the atruggle bad Just begun. The strikers are basing their 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'e employ, while the officials of the railroad produce an array of stern figures to show that they have a com paratively good-sired force, sufficient, they claim, to meet the demands made upon the shops at this season of the year. Each aide expresses absolute confidence In the ultimate outcome of the fight. The officials of the road Insist that their mo tive power has not been Injured or Jeop ardized by this strike and they are pro ceeding with their affairs, they affirm. In different to the strikers. The latter make persUttent claims that they bave suc ceeded In seriously affecting the motive power of the railroad and crippled Ite shop facilities to such an extent that the company will be forced within a ehort time to adopt some different policy. Company Prodacea Figures. To demonstrate tbe actual conditions, an official of the Union Pacific Saturday pro duced some figures taken from Lis dally report sheet, which shbw the etstus in each shop on the system. Beginning with Omaha, the schedule shows that in the local shops, Council Bluffs and tbe outround bouses the company now has In lta em play a total of 675 men, which Is about 200 less than the normal force In these places. In the Omaha shops alone there are said to be 610 men In all departmenta. About 65 per cent of the original number of machinists in the Omaha shops are at work, according to tbe reporte of the company. Thla shows, therefore, that the number of all employed is well propor tioned 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 thos who did not strike. The number of machinists now at work In the Omaha shops U, acaardlhg trt ths company's statement, within thret or tour of the original number. At Armatrong tbe force la aald to bo al most of normal site. A large number of etrlkere, it Is said, bave returned to work and the rest of the placee bave been Oiled by outside men. Tbe company baa ceased employing men there. At Cheyenne the total numbsr of shop men now in active service Is 344. Of this number twenty-two are skilled machinists and about half the normal blacksmith foree Is at work. These reporte from tbe three largest shops on the system show that tbe company haa enough man at work to make a fair showing. At Other Polata oa Line. Normal sized forcea are said to be at work at Ellis, Junction City and 8allna, Kan. Denver reports three-fourthe of a force at work In the bollermakera and ma chinists' departmenta and full forces la other departments of the shops. At Green River a full force Is employed and at Evanston, where the men were eo elow to strike,, seventeen machinists are reported at work, as against seven before, and seven boilermakers aa against five be fore. North Platte bae . preeented the moat serious problem tbe company bas yet to contend with. Tbe men there were in a quandry for aome time and finally striking they are among the most determined of any on the system. Notwithstanding these facts the officials declare that a fore of 176 men is employed In these shops, a fact which they say will suprlse tbe strik ers. The original number employed at North Platte waa 200. Eleven of those now at work there are machinists, twenty-. four machinist's' helpers and sixteen men are engaged in tbe boiler shops, though no real boilermakers ars at work. In tbe remainder of the departmenta tbe force Is st' a normal also. The officials regard North Platte aa their weakeat point and yet one of them aaid Saturday that it would be tbe eaateet te handle ae soon aa they deolded to take hold of It in earnest Grand Island Fores Increased. The reports from Orand Island show a larger force of men at work than before the strike. As was stated In The Bee tome daya ago, this shop's fores le to be en larged still more and It la aald to be tbe Intention of the eompany to Increase tbe force to three tlmee ite original else. Asked if those men now at work la tbe various shops were on the piecework sys tem an official of ths road Saturday re plied: "No air, they are getting exactly the wagea paid in tbe abopa when the etrlke begun. No reductlone bave been made and no piecework baa been Introduced. We did not Intend to introduce piecework at once anyway, and of couise, we could not do such 'a thing with new men even if we wished. There ie a great deal of idle talk about this piecework matter. This com pany could not properly Introduce piece work all over lta system within less thaa Ave years." Ths company does not pretend to eay that but a very email proportion of those men now in its employ are former strikers, but officials maintain that ths most of them are competent men. It la fact, tbey admit, that In tbe very large majority of cases ths strikers have not returned to work. The officials profess not to be worrying over whether ths strikers return to work. Tbey say they wanted to glvs their old men a chance to resume tbelr positions and since tbey have refused to do ao, most of them. It la not ths part of tbe company to loss sleep over the matter. It eontlnuea to bring in new men and will keep on in thle line, tbe officials eay. Thirty-seven non union mea wers imported Into the Omaha shops Saturday from Chicago and more will be brought later.
