OVATION 10 KITCHENER.

Southampton, July 12.-The steamer
Orataya, from Cspetown, with General
Lord Kitchener on board, was dock
ed here at $50 this morning. Inn
mense crowds had gathered on the dock
and every available place near the land
ing place was filed with enthusiastic
people, eager to add their voice to the
cheers of welcome to the returning
leader Of the victorious British forces.
London, July 12.-General Lord
Kitchener's arrival in England is the
one excitement of the day, Several
hours before Kitchener arrived in Lon
don the route from Paddington station
to st. James Palace was crowded with
sight seers. The coronation stands,
roofs of houses, and all other vantage
positions were occupied by dense masses
of humanity. Colonial and regular
troops lined the route. Kitchener 5
train arrived on time at l2;45. The
Prince of Wales the Duke of Connaught,
members of the army headquarters staff
and numerous distinguished civilians
greeted the General as he stepped from
the train. The Lord Mayor presented
an address of welcome to Kitchener at
the station, after which the procession
| formed. The twenty state carriages,
preceded and followed by mounted es-
corts, drove at quick pace across Hyde
Park, and on to ST. James. The brill
liant uniforms of the staff officers made
a gorgeous show. Kitchener alone was
dressed simply He wore plain khaki
uniform. The whole route was brill
liant mass of color. The enthusiasm has
not been approached since the Jubilee
and completely oyershsdowed the well
come given to Earl Roberts when he re-
turned from South Africa. The pro-
cession continued on its way, until it
reached st. James Palace, where the
Prince of Wales extended formal state
welcome. As the cortege passed Buck
ingham Palace the Queen and members
of the royal family appeared on the
balcony and waved their greetings to
Lord Kitchener who removed his hat.

THE coURT-MARTIAL Of Capt. James
A. Ryan, of the Fifteenth Cavalry, on
tn, charge o. unnecessary severity TO
Filipinos, has been concluded, and 1t
is believed he will be acquitted MAJOR
Edwin F. Glenn, of the Fifth Infantry,
his counsel, contended that the 'water
cure" was not torture and thatits use had
saved more American and Filipino lives
than other expedients of the campaign
He scored Judge Rhode for making a
report which he said the judge was un-
able TO substantiate and quoted score
of orders for the killing of guerrillas
during the civil war. 1t seems hardly
possible in the light of facts that such
assertions should be receivedin any other
manner than the contemp pit they deserve.
The utterances referred to are reflections
upon the intelligence of the civilized
world. The counsel of Captain Ryan,
in order TO divert attention from the
accused refers to the well-known TACT
that Confederate soldiers, whom he
terms guerrillas, were shot during
the war between the States. The
reference to such cruel acts Of the federal
army should in no wise excuse the
Americans for torturing the natives OF
a country the United States is endeavor-
ing to subjugate.

ACCORDING to dispatches in this
mornings papers President Mitchell of
the amalgamated union is considering
the probable effects of national strike.
1t takes but small stretch of magma
ton to see what would follow a national
strike and it produces "cOld creeps"
when the thought is entertained. Red
rcpublicanism and anarchy would be
the inevitable accompaniment. Such
scenes may be in store for the country,
and the period of activity now in evil
dence throughout the United States
may be but the prelude of wave
which will form conspicuous chapter

THE "REFoRM" government in New
York, like all such hybrid organizations
that have been placed in control in other
cities, is falling into disrepute. State
Civil Service Commissioner John r..
Kraft characterizcs the work OF the
municipal commission, as approved by
Mayor Low, as "mOre destructive OF
honest civil service than anything that
has happened to the system since the
law was enacted in 1888" He declares
that "merit and fitness is no longer the
basis in that city of appointments and
promotion, but that those in authority
have other notions as to the tests apPli-
cable to the eligibility of the persons to
BE- appointed" All these charges were
urged against Tammany by the ANAL
gamation which elected Mr.. Low.

CHARGED WITH ARSON.

J. w. Hargraye, who went to Lynch
burg few months ago from Baltimore,
has been arrested on the charge of set
ting fire to the plant Of the Virginia
Steam Baking Company, of which he
was general manager and part owner.
The building, large and substantial
structure the property of William v.
Wilson, jr., and n. c. Manson, jr., was
destroyed by fire June 81. All the
stock and machinery belonging to the
Virginia Steam Baking Company, and
insured for $26, 900, was lost. No one
could explain exactly how the fire origl-
mated. and it was generally thought that
the trouble was caused by some defect in
the ovens. During his residence in
Lynchburg Mr.. Hargraye has made a
most favOrite impression upon the bust
ness community of that city as young
man of energy and progressiyeness and
of excellent character, and consequently
the announcement of his arrest was re-
ceived with amazement. The case was
called yesterday morning for a hearing
before the Mayor, but on motion OF the
Commonwealth Attorney it was con-
tinued until Tuesday, July %. The
Virginia Steam Baking Company, which
Is composed of Baltimore men, pur=
chased few months ago the plant of the
Virginia Biscuit Company, an enter
prise that was directed principally by
Lynchburgers. The undertaking was
not a success and the Virginia Biscuit
Company made an assignment. The
plant, which included much valuable
machinery, was purchased by the Vir-
ginia Steam Baking Company. The
company was running the plant at full
capacity and everyone connected with 1t
expressed the utmost confidence in its
future.

President ROOSEVELT has an un-
fortunate, if not an offensive, manner III
making some of his assertions. AT
Oyster Bay yesterday he said; ''The
friars of the Philippines are ignorant
brutal and immoral" Now some of the
friars alluded to may be bad men, as are
doubtless some of the cloth Of every creed
under the sun, but for the President OF
the United States to make such an un-
wonted attack upon the entire clerical
body in the Philippine archipelago, the
newest possession of this country, is not
calculated to win him friends in those
islands, nor among the sympathizerS OF
those so attacked, IN America or any
where else.

Court of this city this morning was that

breaking and robbery. These youngsters
have been an annoyance for sometime,
but heretofore their offenses had been of
a trivial nature. Lately, however, they

THE NEW CONSTITUTION.

The new constitution upsets many ar
engagements in different cities of tn,
State. In Richmond it will prevent the
present board named by the council foi
the Carnegie Library from letting. I'm
der the constitution the council can
not elect members of that body to any
position or office. Several members of the
library committee were taken from the
council. 1t can be stated on high author
ity that any State, city or county official
who accepts free pass will promptly
have instituted against him proceedings
to vacate his office. The requirement OF
the council committee that the keeper OF
historic old st. Johns Church and bury
ing ground in Richmond shall hereafter
appear in the costume of aContinental Is
bringing about some amusing results.
This innovation when carried out will be
watched with interest. Odd to relate,
the keeper of the church in which Pat
rick Henry said "Give me liberty or give
me death. F" is not an American, but an
Italian, named Antonio Grafiinga. He
speaks only broken English, but is more
familiar with the history Of the old
church than many of the Oldest residents.
1t is declared that few men in the State
could stand in old st. Johns and recite
Patrick Henry's famous speech with as
much feeling as Grafinga, who is to wear
the Continental uniform prescribed for
him by the city fathers while walking
among the graves of the dead of two
centuries agone.

IT Is said to be an assured fact that
j. Pierpont Morgan and his coadjnto-s
have secured control Of the famous
Cunard line of British steamships. This
bad often been asserted, but was as
quickly denied on the other side of tie
o,oan, and dispatch today says there
4, no truth in the report. There is,
however, considerable smoke, and it is
believed the time has come when
doilialS are useless and the share
holders in the line have been advis-
ed by the board of directors to bow
60 the inevitable. This is one Of the
most important events that has occurred
in the worlds maritime history. The
Cunard Company has ever been jealousy
guarded and protected by the British
government, and few years ago Eng
iaid would have looked upon any prop
asition to place it under foreign control
tn as much indignation as a proiier to
relinquish her sway over Westminster
Abbey. Many years ago the Collins
lire of American steamers entered into
lively competition with the Cunard line
for the Transatlantic trade The British
government, realizing the danger
heavily subsidized their pet line and the
American ships becoming Improbable
wore withdrawn. For nearly a third of
century no American flags appeared
on steamers engaged in passenger traffic
between Europe and America, the trade
having virtually been turned over to
England The Inauguration of the
American line in 1890 was the begin
oing of a revolution in shipping circles,

In the competitive examination for

on last Friday, w. E. Dunn of Cresco
passed the highest average and was
selected, j. E. Clark OF Calmar and
Lee Lehman of Postville being named
as alternates. Thirteen candidates
were examined, four being thrown out
because of physical disqualified tions,
hence the contest was between the re-
naming nine. Dunn, who is about
20 years old, made an average of 96 per
cent while some of the others barely
reached the COS. In many ways he
had the advantage Of the other con-
testants, being a graduate of the
Cresco High School and is now nearly
through the State Normal at Cedar
Falls. He was before the examiners
four years ago and this acquainted
him somewhat with the methods of
