I idea has creased Tthe more colonial loyalty had manifested itse! in aiding the empire to defy the hostility and bitâ€" terness of ail its opponents. Great Britain hiad the assistance of a force which a few years ago was not dreamed of, and that was the tubâ€" ject of â€" exuitation in England. It was shown that when the country was denuded of troops her naval supâ€" remacy was suificient to protect her, Great Britain was nmever safer than during that period of the war.

The motion specially mentioned the colonial Premiers, and paid a tribute to the splendid qualiâ€" ties of the colonial troops, who, he sail, contended under no ordinary difficulties against an enemy which lrad accumulated vast stores of munâ€". itions of war, ami had the advanâ€" tage of fighting in a peculiar counâ€" try, with which they were thorâ€" oughly familiar. The Premier also said ‘he thought the House had never before thamked, nor had such good cause to thank, the colonial troops for their assistance. Not long ago many pecple in Europe thought that the time of the downfa/il of the Briâ€" tish Empire ha«l arrived, but the coâ€" lonial troops â€" cam»> brilliantly _ to Great® Britain‘s assistance, and the more Great Britain‘@ difficulties inâ€" creased the more colonial Inval+v Sir Henry Campbeliâ€"Bannerman seeâ€" ouded the motion. He said he hoped there would not be a jirring note in the Parliamentary â€" appreciation of the services of those who upheld the valor of the British army in South Africa. Mr. Bal{our‘s motion, which included an expression of condolence with the bereaved, was adopted by 382 to 42 votes. In the House of Lordas. had she fought such a great camâ€" pain without alies, and she had never been so aided by her volunteers and colonial troops, whose valor â€" and bhumanity he praised. Mr. Redmond said he desired to repeat that Lord Kitchener was reâ€" sponsible for the death of 15,000 children, and that he had warred on women and children. That was his absolute conviction, and he refused to withdraw the words. The country was living in an atmosphere of hypocrisy. When a man spoke the truth he was gagged. Mr. Redmond‘s remarks were almost inaudible, owing to the uproar caused by the cheers of the Irish Nationalists, and the protests of the members of other parties. The Chairman replied to Mr. Redmond‘s appeal for a fair hearâ€" ing that it was impossible to conâ€" trol the House, to which his speech . appeared distasteful. Tributes to the Troop:s.

Groans and persistent yells drowned any further attempt at speaking until the closure was voted.

Amid the din Mr. Redmond was heard to say that the House was disgracâ€" ing itsel{ in ¢ompensating the comâ€" mander of the British forces in South Africa, while allowing the men who had fought there to drift into the workhouse, and that the House was making itself{ ridiculous in the eyes ed that Lord Kitchener and Lord Roberts, during the South African war, had been guilty of more disâ€" graceful conduct than any of the other Generals. Then, turning to the Ministerial benches, Mr. â€" Redmond shouted : "You allow the women and children o?f soldiers to starve, in orâ€" der to honor the favorites of your corrupt society.‘" His stat:ment was greeted with shouts of "sit down," London despatch: During the course of his speecu on the vote to Lord Kitchener, Mr. Redmond indulged in considerable violence of language, and had to be refreshed by a dr.uk brought in by a friend..
