LOOKS BETTER.
The French Chamber of Deputies Refuses
to Vote 'No Confidence" by a Decided


The French Chamber of Deputies Refuses
to Vote ''No Confidence" by Decided
Majority.
PARIS, Dec. 25.-An attempt was made
to dissolve the ministry. and for a time
it looked as though such might come to
pass. The action and speech of NJ
Ribot, however, defeated this, and the
government is stronger than it has been
for weeks.
At a cabinet council it was resolved
that the government would accord ac-
quiescence in a full and unrestricted
debate on Nj. Lucien Millevoye's inter-
pellation regarding the alleged use of
money advanced by the Panama Canal
Co. in the service of the government.
As a result in the chamber the matter
was brought up, and M. Rouvier had
just given a somewhat lengthy account
of certain transactions, and was still in
the aisle, when NJ. Millevoye stepped
into the speakers tribune.
The first words of the Boulangist
deputy showed his pnrpose to precipi-
tate a crisis Immediately. He spoke
briefly, but violently The present
cabinet, he said, was trusted neither by
the people nor their representatives.
Both its members and adherents were
in the shadow of fatal suspicion. Men
chosen to serve the high interests of
France were falling daily under charges
of misrepresenting those interests. The
time had come for an appeal to the
preferences of the electors. Applause
on the right and disorder on the left.
On behalf of those who had the honor
of France at heart he demanded a dis
solution.
At this point uproar on the floor inter
rupted NJ. Millevoye and he stood silent
until the cheers and shouts of protests
subsidized. Then he moved vote of enc
confidence" As he left the tribune
there was little demonstration and NJ.
Ribot, the premier, rose to defend the
government amid profound silence. The
purpose of Millevoye, he said, was ap
parent to all. He intended to unload
scandal after scandal upon the govern
ment until he wrecked it. Cries ot
''Nol Nor' from the Boulangists greeted
this statement and NJ. M.llevoye
wreck it when all is known.
After the president had restored or
der by repeated appeals to the deputies,
NJ. Ribot continued his defense with
the words: Those who fatter them
selves that there is no government in
France are deluded, and if the Occas ion
comes the present cabinet will not hes
itate to prove it. This government is
prepared to defend the republic"
The firmness and calmness of NJ.
Ribot's address evidently had won for
him the sympathy of the chamber, for
as he left the tribune he was cheered
with exceptional enthusiasm. NJ.
Deroulede seemed to realize this and
his subsequent speech was mild to the
point of tamenesS He explained his
plan for revising the constitution at
some length and in his pcroratiol
astounded his hearers by declaring that
he felt full confidence in the probity
and intelligence of the ministry. NJ.
Millevoye's motion of mo confidence
was then put and was lost by vote OF
353 to 91 Tremendous cheering and
applause from the left followed the an
nouncement of the result.
