REWARD FOR LORD ROBERTS.
English House of Lords Votes Him a Snug
Fortune for Work In South Africa. '
London, Aug. 2 In tho houso of
commons today, proposing a resolu
tion granting Field Marshal Lord
Roberts 100,000 for his services in
South Africa, J. Balfour, tho govern
ment leader, in tho oourso of his eu
logy of tho Hold murslful, said that
thoro was no doubt that but for Lord
Roberts' daring and strategy, and tho
rapidity with which his plans wcro
carried out, Kimborly and Mafoking
would have fallen, 11,000 British
would lmvo been starved into submis
sion at Ladysmith, and thorn would
have been a general rising of disloy
alists in South Africa. The liberal
leader, Sir Henry Campbell-Banner', v .
'man,t tconcurredvhWthe "'motion.'. "
John Dillon, Irish Nationalist,
strongly opposed tho vote. Ho do
olarcu Lord Roberts had shown tho
greatest inhumanity in South Africa,
and said ho had employed barbarous
methods and had proved himself 11
dismal failure. Mr. Labouohoro,
Radical, and Air. Kior-Hardy, Social
ist and Independent Labor, also
strongly opposed tho measure. Swift
MaoNcil, Irish Nationalist, said ho
considered Lord Roberts' operations
wero conducted with a maximum of
cruelty and a minimum of humanity,
and that his farowell speech at Capo
Town was horrible hypocrisy and
blasphemy. After further debato Mr.
Balfour moved tho closure, which was
carried. Tho resolution was adopted
by u vote of 281 to 73.
