The Lords Pass tho Vote of Thanks-NO
Liberal Leaders Present.


LONDON, Aug. 12.--In the House OF
Lords this afternoon the Marquis Of Sails
bury. In moving vote OF thanks TO the
army and navy for their recent services
IN Egypt, paid strong tribute 10 Gen.
Lord Wolseley and Gen. Graham and the
other officers and soldiers and marines
who took part in the Khartoum expedi-
tion, for the valor, perseverance and high
spirit they displayed in the arduous work
of the desert campaign. He also dwelt
on the gallantry of the members OF
the Australian contingent who, he
said, were deserving of special
thanks, and Of that of the
Indian troops and Canadian voyageurs.
Tie Prime Minister praised in unmeas-
ured terms the valOr and devotion OF Gen.
Gordon and of Gems. Earle and stewart,
and the other officers and men who lost
their lives during the Soudan war, and fit
tingiy expressed coincidence with their
relatives and friends. Baron Carrlngtop,
moderate Liberal, warmly seconded the
motion, which was adopted. IL was note
worthy that not a single Liberal leader
was present in the House OF Lords during
the above proceedings. These absences
were much remarked and considered as
demonstration against the motion.
THANKS OF THE COMMONS.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach, Chancellor of
the Exohequer. made a similar motion IN
the House OF Commons. Speaking Of the
part taken by the Australians and Cana
dians in the Khartoum expedition, the
Chancellor said that they had conclusively
shown that there existed a strong bond of
loyalty between England and the colonies,
and that the mother country had an Gle
ment of strength that would serve Eng
land well IN case Of an emergency.
The Marquis of Harrington seconded
Sir MichaePs motion, and in his address
exonerated Gen. Wolseley from blame for
the many shortcomings OF the Soudan
campaign, because the circumstances at
tending or causing them we're beyond his
control. The Marquis praised the Aus
tralians and Canadians for their services,
and the manner In which they were rem
dered, and said that the colonial loyalty,
proven by these services, added new
strength TO the British empire. The mo-
tiOn was then adopted.

OTTAWA, ONT, Aug. l2.-The shanty
men who returned from Egypt are under

tiugent he said that he expected that a
campaign would take place IN the Soudan
country In the fall, in which case he
wished to have the services Of the Ca
madam vOyageurs.

He Does Not Care n Rap for the News
paper Criticisms Of Him.
LONDON, Aug. 12.-In a speech at
Wimborne Minister this evening, Lord
Randolph Churchill. Secretary for India,
denied that be was actua ted against Earl
Spencer and Lord Ripon by personal feeling
He assailed only their methods OF govern
ment Lord Randolph denounced the
Radicals for wishing to tax the poor
mans beer, which, he said. was food
equally with bread. He deded the caucus
arrangements Of the Liberals, aud said
that he believed that the Tories would be
victorious in the general elections.
POLICY OF THE PARTY.
Lord Randolph said that he cared not a
rap what the Dduy NetcS and the Stand
ard said about him. Such criticism was
rs effective as water on ducks back.
He emphatIcaly denied that the COnsery-
atives wanted to tax the food Of the peO-
pie. He claimed for the Conservatives
the passage OF the seats bill. Lord kan
dolph taunted the Radicals with having
no policy, while the Tories we're carrying
out great one-havlng for its object the
strengthening Of the empire at home aud
abroad. The Conservatives hoped to
give peace to Ireland and security 10
India. They hoped TO create an over
powering navy, which would be adequate
defense 70 the coasts Of Great Britain and
the colonies and to commerce. They be-
lieved that they could bring about a
revival Of trade and the industries Of the
country. Lord Randolph repudiated the
charge hat he desired war with Russia
for the sake Of securing votes at the cleo
tlon.
NOT RAPED.
LONDON, Aug. 10, "a. MIN his speech
at WimbOrne Minister last evening
Lord Randolph Churchill said that he
feared not rap for the press" The
Stdnd0rd this morning therefore ignores
the speech altogether.
