On leaving Hospitalet, one rides up a wild
gorge to the French customs station or the
border, then the path winds up the side of
q mountain by a steep and strong track.
The mountain sides have not a tree or q
shrub to break their desolation. About two
hours and a half good riding lands the
traveller at Pourtailles, another wretched
village. There are no forests yet, but
plenty of pasturage in the valleys. The

to six thousand feet above the sea level. or
higher than any mountains in New York

and in the casino matter the bishop, who is
one of the poorest prelates in existence, is
rolled upon to uphold the gamblers against

his while to do this for the sake of the

WILL BE- EXPELLED FROM MONACO,


nAR1s, JUNE 3o.-THE APPROACH
~ gambling casino of Monte Carlo
IS not unknown in America. At
least among the sporting men who
are fond of tempting the tickle god
dess at roulette and rouge ct noir, and who
have money enough to afford an occasional
European trip, the event must have been
talked of. The news has made a sensation
in the fast circle of every European capital.
From st. Petersburg to London the Fl rst an
nouncement that the Prince of Monaco had
refused to renew the concessions under
which the casino is operated and which ex-
pires next year, filled the ranks of the haute
Ronmerie with CONSERVATION, for with
Monte Carlo gone there would not remain a
with authority of law.
The alarm of the sporting fraternity has
been diminished by later Developments.
1t is true Monte Carlo must 60, but the
gambling establishment will simply change
its locale. In the quaint little republic of
Andorre, nesting among the highest and
widest reaches of the Pyreneea, it has
found q home, and there a new Cercle des
strangers, a new casino will begin a new
history of shame, of lawless pleasure born
OF mad excitement, of fabulous profits
garnered from the wreck Of lives and the
ruin of fortunes.
1t ls more than thirty years since Fran
co.'s Blanc became the proprietor of the
Monte Carlo casino. The effort to locate
agambllng system in Andorre dates back
almost as far. But there was no greedy
half pauper prince to be bought in the little
Pyrenean republic, and the sturdy virtue and
primitive simplicity had almost said ig-
norance-of the mountainous, long rasisted
the fasc1natlons of ill-earned wealth. On
the other hand, no SPECTATOR of the
hre"dness M enterprise of Blanc pre-
ssnted himself. 1t will presently be seen
what vast resources and what veuturesorne
foresight lit took to make Monte Carlo
what 1t ia. Neither the capital nor the dar-
ing ever presided over an Andorran venture.

STRIKING TIE JURY.
The Manner In Which the Twelve Men
Will be Chosen-ssnsationaI Telegram.


VIII be Chosen-SsnsationaIT Telegram.
The manner in which the twenty or
more men esteemed ''fair" jurors are re-
duced to the twelve trial jurors, is not
generally understood by the public, and
as this process may be gone through
with to-day, something in the way Of an
explanation will not be devoid OF inter
est.
If more than twenty jurors esteemed
by the Court to be flair" are in their
seats, they are reduced to twenty by re-
examination. in which those least prom
Using are weeded out. Then, from the
twenty remaining, the State is privil
eyed to peremptorially strike two, and
the defense six, leaving twelve trial
jurors. This may be done in one of
two or three ways, by agreement be-
tween counsel. For instance, it may be
agreed TO let the State strike one, the
defense six, and the State the remain
ing one, or the State may strike the
first two, and the defense the others.
By whatever process the jury is thus
reduced, when the number of twelve is
reached the jury is ready to receive the
statement of the case, beginning with
the State and ending with the outline of
the defense. This done, the first wit
ness is called for the State and the hear
ing of evidence is commenced. Wit
neSses may be called this afternoon, but
the chances are against it.

special from this city:
WHEELING, w. Va, May 6.
1.-The third day of the Garrison murder
trial began this morning with only 10 of the
20 jurymen necessary for panel secured.
1t is not believed that Jury will be obtain
ed before the end of the week. Friends of
DIR. Garrison claim TO have discovered an
effort on the part of DR. Baird's friends to
force themselves into the jury. There is
great feeling over the matter, and trouble
may occur
The above telegram not only falsfes the
situation so far as the trial is concerned,
but is libel and reflection upon this
community in so far as it states that
''trouble may occur Nothing could
be farther from the truth than this tele-
gram, and there has not been the faint
est indication of "trouble." 1t doubt
full il such an idea has occurred to any
one, and there has been no outward ex-
preston of il at any time since the trial
began. The whole thing is false, and
wicked, and does the people of this city
a great injustice.

now France Guard. 1t. Gold.

"The Bank of France is a remarkable
institution In many ways" said Lewis
Q. Carroll, a broker of New York, 'but
the manner in which it guards the vaults
in which its great stores of gold and sill
yer are kept. The Bank of France gen.
orally carries more gold and always
more silver than any other institution in
the world, with the solitary exception of
the United States treasury. But even
the latter does not take such precautions
to prevent thieves from breaking in and
stealing. We confde in bolts and bars,
but while the Bank of France has a com
plete system of these, 1t does not deem
them sufficient and adopts a very pecul-
lar means for insuring the security OF
Its treasures.
Every day when the money is placed
in the vaults in the cellar a lot of ma
sons are on hand and wall up the doors
with hydraulic mortar. Water is then
turned on and kept running until the
cellar is flooded. Thus a burglar would
have to provide himself with a diving
suit and break down a cement wall be-
fore he could begin work on the vaults.
When the officers arrive in the morning
the water is drawn off, the masonry
broken down and the vaults opened. 1t
is difficult to imagine how the most e1-
pert burglar would penetrate all thes
d~efenses, and certainly the treasures of
the Bank of France are better guarded
than any in the world."-St. Louis Post

SHOULD BE REPEALED.

An interesting case will soon be tried in
Texas. The suit is brought by the state
to escheat to the state a valuable tract Of
land bought by a foreigner. Proceedings
were instituted under tho act of congress
which prohibits alien ownership of land
test case its outcome will be watched with
great interest all over the United States.
If the case goes against the foreigner it
will be one Of the severest financial blows
this country has received for a long time.
The law has already cost the country mil
lions of dollars in foreign Investments.
That capital should come here at all from
abroad. with such a standing menace
against It's security is remarkable. The law
is a deadly blow aimed at tho prosperity
of the country. The DEVELOPMENT yet to
be done here is almost inconceivable in its
magnitude and variety. This development
will be accelerated BY the influx of capital
and retarded without 1t. Yet congress
has practically arrayed itself against this
development which is 80 desirable and
which the people are everywhere planning
but are financially unable to execute.
That this great country should say a
man shall not own what he has bought
and paid Tor simply because he has the
misfortune of being an alien, that capital
should be forbidden to a land which is yet
merely in the primary stages of its devel-
opment is a doctrine SO pernicious that
the press of the country should not cease
until it is wiped off our statute books.

The Canadian census just completed is
yerv Disappointing to the people. The
population of Canada in 1881 was 4, 324.-
80. having increased Is per cent during
the previous decade. Today 1t is 4,s25,-
600. an increase OF less than II per cent
during the decade. This is one-third less
than during the previous decade, less than
half that of the United States, and no
more rapid than England's. an old coun-
try, whence there is large and continuous
emigration. The cause OF this extraordi-
nary showing is admittedly the United
States. The Canadian calculation is that
10000 people have emigrated from
Canada to the United States during the
past decade, or more than all the immi-
grants arriving IN that country added to
the national increase OF population during
the same period.

WORK REAPLYAND QUICKLY
DONE

We hope that Shop Superintendent
U'Hearne nay even yet be induced tore,
main here. He has made an envIable
reputation for the shops and has accom-,
plished such results as few men are fitted
by nature and training to effect. Further
extensions of the shop plant In the i'm
mediate future must depend largely upon
the record made in the shop itself. If it
ran be demonstrated that work can be
turned out as promptly and cheaply here
as elsewhere, then the force must be in
creased and the plant added to so as to
handle the constantly increasing business
and widening scope of territory from
which work may be drawn. The present
superintendent has demonstrated to the
officials that work can be done as cheaply
and even more promptly here than else
where on the system. The importance Of
such demonstration cannot well be over
estimated.
1t was expected that ere this a brass
foundry would have been built here. The
necessities OF the case now demand such
a construction, at least for the lighter
castings which must now be shipped in
here from Omaha. A local brass foundry
would add materially to the facilities for
getting out work quickly and as the cost
OF the plant is small we should not be sur
prised to learn hat orders were given any
day for work to begin on its construction.
Probably the most important building
yet lacking is an iron foundry. We un-
derstand that the erection of such a build
ing has been favorably considered, but
owing to the financial condition Of the
road the work will not be undertaken
until next season..
