The Prime Minister frequently interrupted
nv members of the Right and Extreme Left
The members of the Centre and Left warmly ap-
nlauded him. After several successive motions TO
adjourn had been offered, and as the disorder In
the Chamber continued TO increase, Premer
Giolitti in view of the mpatience of the Deputies
IN proceed with the vote on the programme OF the
new Ministry, announced his acceptance OF the
motion of Signor Bacelli, member OF the Lelt'
that the Chamber, reserving Judgment on 'ne
concrete proposals of the Ministry, pass at once
10 the order Of the day.
In the division which followed, the Government
obtained majority, and the fears which had pseh
entertained in some quarters that the strong oppo-
si,ion which was developed yesterday might re
suit in the overthrow of the Ministry were thus
dispeled.
Rome May 26.-Signor Giolitti obtained vote
of confidence, but only BY somewhat close margin.
the figures being l69 to J 60. ThirS-eight members
ahstaned from voting. The opinion prevails In
the lobbies that the divisions which were taken
in the Chamber to-day have not had the effect
of clearing the situation. The Opposition is ex
pected to renew the debate and TO make an at
Tempt TO provoke another division The "Popolo
Romano says that the dissolution OF farliamche
is inevitable.
The situation OF the new italian Cabinet remains
as precarous as it represented to be in the cable
dispatches Of Wednesday night The majority OF nine
votes with thirty-eigh members not voting Is not
what can be called Government or working majority
surely guaranteeing Ministerial tenure OF ofoe Mt
least for a few months. And this small majority has
beer obtained probably. by the natural and patriotic
fear OF Deputies who, explained here yesterday,
were opposed to making leap in the dark and to
overthrowing new Ministers without waiting TO see
whether or not they could carry out their pro-
gramme.s Stll, the Opposition votes have been more
numerous than could have been expected from the
first cable dispatch, which said that both the Right
and the Extreme Left had assumed decidedly hostile
attitude These two factions, united, could hardly
cast But this large opposition vote is easily und'r'tood,
since according 70 the Rome dispatch published In the
Progresso Italo- Americana Of NewYork, it was not
the Extreme Left" but the Left Itself, which should
have been represented hostile TO the Cabinet Ac
cordng to the same paper, which must be accurately
informed in regard to Italian affairs, there may have
been another error In the transmission Of the Rome
dispatches. 1t stated that adverse vote would
result in "ether the return OF the Rudini Cabinet to
power or the nssoiatfvn on Parliament The ITO
cresso Italo-Americano" In the return of the
Rndiu Cabinet with the power TO dissolve the Cham
ber" This version is important, II correct 1t would
be better for Italy not to be governed for few
weeks BY Ministry just overthrown by the Parla-
self oyerthrown. some time ago, the opposition 70
him NAV have calmed down. AZ any rate the electoia
campaicn would assume less OF personal, ana more
NJ n national character. But the true friends OF
Ialy must wish that Ministerial crisis VIII occur
and that Premier Giolitu will be allowed to WORK
out the programme Of government he has laid before
the italian Parliament.
