support NJ Deramel's motion. After a
| few excited speeches Deramel's motion
was adopted by a vote of 251 to 222 The

It is considered that the fact that sec
Ond vote was taken by the chamber in the
| absence of the ministers precludes the
possibility Of a compromise. NJ. Cassimir-
Perier's withdrawal from the government
will be irreyocsble, and it is thought that
none Of his colleagues will consent to en-
ter any new combination.
