London, June 6.- In accordance with King Edward's message to the house of commons yesterday, the govern ment leader, Mr. A. J. Balfour, in the house this afternoon asked for a vote of £50,000 to Lord Kitchener. Asa remarkable coincidence parliament June 5, three years ago, voted Us thanks and £30,000 to the'same gen eral for his services in Egypt. Mr. Balfour, in supporting the mo tion, referred to Lord Kitchener’s rap id promotion. He said it bad been given to few public servants to com pass so much work for their country in so short a time as Lord Kitchener; who, besides being commandcr-in c hiei in South Africa, was commander-in chief designate of India. He found the army in South Africa in a stale of disorganisation or dislocation conse quent on the ill success which attended the British arms at the early stage of (he campaign, and he executed his duty with admirable energy ami skill. But it was not until Lord Roberts left that the claims of Lord Kitchener lo the gratitude of his countrymen reach ed their present magnitude. lord Kitchener had to meet with unique dif ficulties, He had erected no fewer than 4,000 miles of blockhouses and in the conduct of the campaign had shown the fertile rajqgc of ids- r< sources, boundless courage, energy and resolution, and to these qualities Great Britain owed the termination of. Un war. Few English generals had con tended with greater difficulties 'and few had emerged from them in a more tri umphant and brilliant way. Mr. lJaifonr concluded with formally moving the vote of £50,(100. The Liberal leader. Sir Henry Camp, hell Bannorman. who seconded tile rno tlon. paid a warm tribute to Lord Kitchener as a soldier and statesman. John Dillon. Irish Nationalist? said he and his friends absolutely objected to the vote because they were opposed to’ the policy of war in South Africa and conduct of the campaign. William Redmond, Irish Nationalist, caused a settle of great disorder by saying that Lord Kitchener would go down in history as a general who had “made war on women and children." This remark called forth loud cries of "Withdraw” and appeals to the chair to call Mr. Redmond to order. The chairman said the expression used was not disorderly, hut a majority of the house refused to listen any further to Mr. Redmond and interrupted him with all kinds of shouts. The closure was then moved arid adopted liy 273 to Dig votes and the grant of £50.000 to Lord Kitchener was carried by 380 to 44 votes. KEYSTONE STATE CONVENTIONS.
