CONFIDENCE IN
 GOVERNMENT IS
 DEPUTIES' VOTE
Premier Ribot's Policy Up held Credits for Anti
 Sub Measures.

Paris, June 97-After two-day ses- ion during which Admiral Lacaze, minister of marine. and the conduct of the navy were under fire, especially on account of merchant marine losses, the chamber of deputies voted last night confidence in the government by BIO to IFS. The bulk of the attack centered on the alleged laxity of meas ures taken to combat submarines.
 Premier Ribot, in defense of the government, declared that the subma- rine war had surprised the navies of all the Allies. He did not deny the peril and asked for increased credits to meet this newborn of warfare
 While the debate was proceeding in the chamber the senate unanimously adopted a bill revising the budget of the minister of the navy, so as to in- clude more ample credits for anti submarine measures

CHARLES DICKENS

Charles Dickens died in his home
 at Gadshill, in Kent, on June g, in 1870. The weeks preceding his death had been weeks of fatigue and illness; but with the coming of the warm summer days he seemed once more to exhibit his old vitality Many in- cldents that gave him pleasure had | ocurred. A resident of Liverpool had
 written a letter describing himself as
 self-made man who believed that he owed his success to what Dickens had
 written about wisdom of kindness and sympathy for others. The writer en- closed a check for five hundred
 pounds, which he begged the author to accept as a slight acknowledge
 ment of the benefits received. The
 letter greatly touched Dickens, who returned the check, but said that it would give him pleasure to accept any slight remembrance given in an- other form. His correspondent then sent him an elaborate silver basket and a silver center piece containing figures representing the four sea- sons. The donor, however, had shrunk from sending a symbol of win ter to one who had then passed the summer of his life, and so he had re- moved this figure from the design. On the day before his death, the nov
 elist had been steadily at work up- on his last book '.The Mystery of
 Edwin Drood'' and had finished a
 beautiful description of summer
 morning. When this was complete, he was taken with a sudden pain, and presently became unconscious. He died the next evening in the fifty eighth year of his age. The news of his death was telegraphed all over the civilized world, and was received everywhere with grief and sympathy. Men and women of every rank and type joined in the expression of sor- row, for Dickens, through his in- tense humanity, has appealed alike to the noble and the lowly. One of the 1 most touching tributes to the unir iversaiity of his fame was written by the pen of Brete Harte in the poem which is here reprinted and which shows that in a rough mining camp of the Far West the creator of Little Nell was known and loved no less sincerely than in stately dwellings of
 his own country. The poem follows: Above the pines the moon was slowly drifting,
 l The river sang below;
 The dim Sierras, far beyond, uplifting, Their minarets of snow.
