REWARD FOR KITCHENER
House Of Commons Voted Him Ihlrly-nlne
Thousand Pounds.
POLITICS ANO THE ARMY MUST BE APART
B,Ifour said Opposition 10 the Grant
poIittcnI Reasons Would
he Very Unwise.

London. June 5.-Mr. Balfour in intro
dpclng a vote OF 100000 (Sl5o,OoO) Tor
Lord Kitchener in the house OF commons
today said the fact that the power OIL
Mahdism was crushed was due TO the Ell
forts Of the man they desired to honor
and reward. He expressed the nope tha'
those who objected to the policy oil the
soudan advance would not think that a
reason for resisting the vote, as such
course would be introducing politics inIo
military matters He then dwelt VITA al
nlratlon on the way the sidar had sur
mounted difficulties and organized VIC
tories by his answering and almost su-
perbuman industry. which ne SAID de-
served signal mark of gratitude ana
honor.
Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman' the
opposition leader. supported the notion
while expressing regret at the treatment
OF the Mahdrs body, which he regarded
as an error OF taste and judgment
Mr.. Baliour did not refer in his speech
To the incident OF the Mahdis head eA-
cepting indirectly. when he said he con
eeiyed that there was only one questl "a
before the house, namely, military merit.
In connection with his reference TO mix
ing politics in military affairs, Mr., Blltour
declared that those who wished to with
hold from a successful general nerited
reward because he had carried out policy
OF which trey disapproved were virtually
telling him and his soldiers VINO had
faced death that they would not only
have to obey orders but to know whose
orders they were obeying.
Mr.. Balfour added that the country
whose army concerned Itself with politics
was en- the verge OF military despotisn,.
John Morley the former liberal chief
secretary for Ireland. opposed the vote on
the ground of the treatment OF the Mahdi's
head to which Mr. Balfour replied that
he did not believe the element OF violence
had influenced General Kitchener in the
smallest degree pointing out that he had
treated the Mahd's family with the ut
most consideration. The removal OF the
body. he also said, had !l,en public. as
publicity was an essential part of the poll
icy debating the act. It was the first duty
the men and officers left in charge OF
stition which had been the strength OF
Mahdism for years,
Mr.. Balfour admitted. however. that
perhaps the re-interment Of the remains
might have been conducted in better
manner.
