added, France was sacrificing the
friendship OF the vatican. Several dep
uties replied to the count.
N. Delcasse, in supporting the credit,
made a significant allusion to the Fran
co-Russian alliance which brought out
much enthusiasm. He said NJ. Loubet's
trip TO Rome was another evidence Of
the Impeachment between nations
which began with the alliance with
Russia and the faithful continued
maintenance of that alliance. This was
the first allusion 10 the Russian alli-
ance since the beginning of the war in
the far east. and in view of the efforts
in some quarters TO weaken the alli-
ance. the statement of the minister of
foreign affairs was considered impOr-
tant.
The foreign minister did not reply to
the criticism of Count Boni, and the
credit was voted by an overwhelming
majority.

opinions Of its conclusion, are based,
the report concludes as follows:
