it was decided to defer the opening
of the schools another week. This
was done principally from the fact
that not nearly all the pupils have
been vaccinated, hence the attend
ance next week would have been
very small.

KITCHENER GIVEN A GRANT.
House of Commons Voted the GEN.
eraI Nearly 100000.

London, June 5.-Lord Kitchener of
Khartoum, sirdar of the Egyptian forces,
arrived here to-day and called upon A
j. BalFour, first lord of the treasury and
government leader of the House of Com
mons, with whom he had a long inter-
view.
Mr.. Balfour in introducing the vote of
10000 for Lord Kitchener in the House of
Commons to-day, said the fact that The
power of Mahdism was crushed was due
TO the genius of the man they desired
10 honor and reward. He expressed the
hope that those who objected to the policy
of the Soudan advance would not think
that a reason for resisting the vote, as
such a course would be introducing poll
tics into military matters.
He then dwelt with admiration on the
way the sirdar had surmounted difficult
ties and organized victories by his I'M
sWerving and almost superhuman indus
Try" for which he deserved a signal mark
OF gratitude and honor. and he, Mr.. Bal
four, believed that in proposing the vote
OIL 10000 he was only carrying out the
wishes of the House and country.
Jonn Morley, the former Liberal chief
secretary for Ireland, opposed the vote on
the ground of the treatment of the Mahdi's
mead, 10 which Mr.. Balfour replied that he
Via not believe the element of vengeance
mad influenced Gen Kitchener in the
smallest degree, pointing out that he had
treated the Mahdis family with the ut
most consideration. The removal of the
body, he also said, had been public, as
publicity was an essential part of the
P5icy debating the act. 1t was the first
uuty of the man responsible for the safe
y OF the men and officers left in charge of
Omdurman to root out the fanatical super
sutton which had been the strength of
Mahdsm for years.
The House voted Gen. Lord Kitchener
q grant of f39, 351.

MYSTERIOUS CONFERENCE.
Practically Settled That 1t Was
About the Philippines.

Washington. June 5.-secretary Hay was
a party TO a midnight conference at the
White House last night, fact not known
generally last night.
It is believed advices were received by
the President from the Philippines. The
conference prepared some instructions TO
govern the conduct of the officers in the
Philippines in accordance with the sug-
gestions contained in the cable advices. and
these were promptly cabled 10 Manila.
The fact that the Secretary of State was
called into the conference by the President
is taken as an indication that the subjects
discussed were not purely military in CHAR
acter, but related in some manner to large
questions OF policy connected with the
Philippines; perhaps relating again to some
fresh overtures from the insurgents.
The tmatter is said to be in such shape
that publication at this time would defeat
the object in view.
