GLADSTONE ESCAPES CENsURE

By a Majority of Thirty-A Warm
 Bebate in the Commons Over the
 Vote Of Credit-Sir Peter Lumsden
 Leaves for London.
 LONDON, May 11.-In the House of Com mons this afternoon MT. Gladstone stated that an arrangement had been made between Lord Granville, foreign minister, the Earl of
 Kimberly, secretary for India, Baron De
 Stael, the Russian ambassador, and M. Les
 son, special Russian agent, in regard to the
 Afghan frontier. The agreement was satis-
 factory to the government and to Earl Duff
 ferin and he hoped it would be made the
 subject of convention with Russia. In the
 House of Commons tonight, the vote of
 credit of $55, 900 900 for war purposes being
 under consideration, Lord George Hamilton,
 Conservative member for Middlesex, brought
 up the motion, of which Sir Stafford Northcote
 gave notice last Friday, that the House hay
 ing shown it's readiness to vote supplies will
 refuse to assent to the vote of e11 ,000, ,0O0
 until it has been informed of the govern
 ment's present policy and the purposes to
 which the money granted is to be applied
 Lord George Hamilton in supporting his mo-
 
 ment accusing them of fignominiously running
 away from the Soudan after having accom-
 plished absolutely nothing except the mur-
 der of ten thousand natives and of having
 made concessions to Russia which amounted
 70 a complete surrender in return for nothing
 but @ patched up and short lived peace. He
 demanded that the House be placed in pos
 session of the full correspondence
 in the Afghan frontier controversy
 ! kI,.A 1nGn iRa
 statement of it's future policy in treating that question. A remarkably effective reply to this speech was made on the part of the government by Rt. Hon. Joseph Chamber lain, president of the board of trade and member for Birmingham, who characterized Lord Hamilton's language as valiant but de- void of sense and worthy of a rhetorician rather than of 8 statesman. If the House desired to call the government to ac- count, continued Mr. Chamberlain, the mat ter was in their own hands. Instead of dis cussing such weak and absurd motions as the present they could simply refuse to grant the supplies for which the government asked in order to carry out it's policy.
 MT. Henry Chaplin, Conservative member for Lincolnshire, supported the motion and dwelt upon the waste of blood and treasure and the infiiction of ruin in the Soudan, which he declared had had no other object than to save the seats of an imbecile minis try. Lord Randolph Churchill, Conserva- tive, spoke in favor of the motion, but was less bitter than usual in his strictures upon the government. He claimed that the motion was purposely worded so as to enable the ministers to retire with grace and dignity from position it would be 1mposs1- ble for them to retain. He took occasion to defend the Tories from the charge that they were the war party The real war party in spite of their claim to desire peace were the Liberals, who sought g vote of S55, ,OOO, ,0OO for war purposes.
 Lord Harrington, Secretary of State for war; closed the debate with 8 forcible and eloquent speech in defense of the govern ment's policy, and at 2:20 8. m. @ vote was taken, which resulted in majority of thirty for the government, the motion of censure being defeated by 260 yeas to 290 nays.

In an inter view MT. Nelidoff said that he considered the passage of the Dardanelles by English war vessels quite likely to occur, but he had proposed that Russia present an identical ! note to all the great powers protesting against \ such action being permitted.
