The Grant to Lord Roberts.

BITTER OPPOSITION OF THE PRO-BOERS.

On August 7th the House ol Com mons went into Committee of Supply, with Mr Lowthe ■ in the chair, to con sider the grant of £100,000 to Lord Boberts in recognition of his eminent services during the war in South

Africa.

Mr Balfonr, on rising to move the grant, was greeted with cheers. The right hoo gentleman detailed the mili tary movements which Lord Roberts carried out with the utmost secrecy and expedition upon Arriving in South Africa, which led not only to the re lief of LadysmUh and Kimberley and the conquest of Oronfp, bufc the occu pation o! the two Boer capitals, In carrying oufc these operations, Lord Roberts conceived the bold bat success ful idea of abandoning the railway, and marching across the inhospitable reg ions between the Modder River and Bloemfontein. If in the coarse of that manoeuvre Lord Roberts had been forced to retreat he had no doubt that the retreat would have been car ried out with the greatest skill and ability; but it would undoubtedly hare inarkpd a most disastrous epoch in ihe his;ory of Africa, It, was because that operation was sac cessfnl, and the dangers and difficulties to which he had hinted were obviated, that he asked the House of Commons ti reward Lord Roberta. He would j not ask if Lord Roberts caved South Africa. (Irish cheers). He would put no limit to the recuperative powers of this country, but he did cay that had it not been for the military move bents which be conceived and success fully carried out, Kimberley andMafe. king would have fallen and 11,000 British troops would! have been starved Into surrender at Lady smith.

Sir B. Campbell Bannernjan seconded the motion, stating that his action was !o accordance with the attitude which he and his supporters had taken up during the last two years in voting supplies for the carrying on of the war

Mr Dillon opposed the grant on the ground of alleged barbarous practices of the British Army tinder Lord Roberts' authority

Mr H%ldene said that the war had been conducted in the main with more humanity than had been shown in previons ware, and supported th© grant on the ground that. Lords Roberta came forward io the boar of the natian'snefd and restored the confi dence of the British nation in the see© nplishmeat of the task it had tjaciertaken

Mr Piyen condemned the policy of farm burning

Mr BWrell stigmatised the proposal as fraudulent, in the sense that the nation bad not got vaSua for its money. Lord Roberts was not an Idshmao, bat an Anglo Irishman; and it was all huaabog to suggest that he waa a great General

Mr Lftbcmohere contended that there was more reason for* rewarding eminent statesmen and authors than eminent military men. Lord Roberta had done well the fob for which be was employed, though he had. shown himself to be a poor political guide,

Mr Keir Hardie considered ifc mon strous that this iarge sum should be voted to the highly-paid Commander* in-Ohief, while no adequate provision was made for the soldiers maimed in the war. He opposed the grant be cause it did not receive the sanction of the masses of f lie people.

Mr MacNeill declared that the war had been waged with the maximum of cruelty and the minimum of humanity. Mr Joyce regarded the war as a specimen of English treachery and bad faith.

Mr Power protested against the inhuman way in which Lord Roberts had conducted the war.

Mr Ktrachey w»8 griwd to hear such sentiments from the Irish members. While reserving to himself full liberty to criticise the Government policy in the conduct of the war, ho considered that Lord Roberta had acted with the minimum of cruelty »nd the maximum of humanity, and was entitled to admir ation and gratitude/

Mr W 8 Oaine rppcsed the votei Mr Bryn Roberts also objected to the vote, ami protested igtinet the barbari ties which had been committed during the war. The policy of Lord Roberts bad not only been cruei and barbarous, but it bad not even the small merit of buccpss

The closure was applied at ball past five o'clock, when Mr Tally was ad' dressing a lew of his co-patriots, while the other benches were empty or occupied by members who were cooTere* log with each other.

The grant was agreed to by 281 votes to 78.
