M. Poincare informed the corres- irondents he interpreted the vote in 'the senate as proof of want of confi- dence in the cabinet, which made it imposmble for the ministry to act against communist plots. The ministry remains in office, President Millerand holding that the 'vote of the senate was purely juri- Adicial and without political effect. Immediately after the meeting of ithe senate, M. Poincare called a coun- cil of ministers. A brief discussion 'took place and then the premier and his colleagues preceeded to Elysee Palace to place their resignations in the hands of the president. The senate, sitting as a high court in secret session, voted relative to the trial of communists on the following ®oints. First, can the court declare itself second should the question of competency be referred to a committee; third. is the court competent? The senate voted in the affirma- tive on the first question and in the Negative on the last two questions, the final vote being 148 to 104. 'After the vote was taken the high court formulated its decision in sub- 5 Lb tion; hence it is not necessary for the court to proceed with the hear- "Ing. The case against M.
