To Stop Gambling at Monte Carlo.

1t seems highly probable after all that,
acting under great pressure from President
Carnot, the Prince of Monaco will decide
not to renew the license for gambling at
Monte Carlo. During the last two weeks
the Prince and the President have been in
communication, which has resulted IN his
highness extending a public invitation to
the President and Nine. Carnot to visit
Monte Carlo this winter, and the equally
polite public reply that they will come if
they can.
There is story underneath all these CT
Whites which is being whispered in Paris,
telling how young gentleman, closely re-
lated to M. and Nine Carnot, went to
Monte Carlo last week without leave and
lost very large SUN of money; SO large,
indeed, that he was unable to pay it. The
young man telegraphed to the President,
who helped him out of his trouble. Some
how the story reached the ears Of Nine
Carnot, and hence arose the correspondence
aud the revival of the rumor that the
Prince will not renew the lease of the Ca
sine, which has yet some years to run.
The question Of its removal will be decided
this season

The Pope to the Arcbbisbon of AK.

The Pope has written a letter to the
Archbishop OF AK, in which ne says that
the authors of the recent outrage at the
Pantheon INDUCED in every possible IL
oense. They profaned the church, heaped
insults upon the pontiff and shamefullv
maltreated the French pilgrims. In con-
Guiding his letter the Pope expresses the
hope that the unfortunate incident will not
lead to further trouble.
The Paris Gaulois says that Count Mena-
brse, the Italian ambassador here, has had
interviews with President Carnot and M.
Ribot, minister of foreign affairs. In these
interviews he Is reported to have expressed
the exact nature of the Pantheon incident.
The Italian ambassador is also said to have
given France explanations regarding the
recent interview at Mona between King
Humbert and M. de Giers, the Russian
minister of Foreign affairs. Count Men
abrea, the Gdut0tS says, declared that Italy
earnestly desired peace and relied upon an
lnterchan 80 of the friendly sentiments
which she entertained for France.
France has notified the vatican that the
prosecution Of the archbishop of AK is
wholly personal, and that there is no in
tention of proceeding against other pre-
lates. The vatican REGARDS the action of
the French government with disfavor, but
will not protest.
