The Italian Chamber responded to Signor Orlando's appeal by affirming

its confidence in the Government. Three hundred and eighty Deputies voted for the motion ; only -forty advanced Socialists, who are always " agin the Government " on principle, voted against the motion. Signor Bissolati, the Socialist who left the Ministry on the Dalmatian claim, voted for the Govern- ment. The Senate. gave Signor Orlando a unanimous vote of confidence. He can now return to Paris with a clear proof that he speaks for the Italian people, and with the intention, we hope, to arrange a compromise of the Adriatic question.
