After that event these proprietors rightly
felt that their days were numbered, and NJ
Blanc, the ablest among them, made ar
rangements in view of the inevitable eonse-
queuces. He was th> foune and chief OF
che gaming tables at Hombu g.
He sought for the site of a new Casino,
where he might be free from the interference
of any Prussian Parliament or Minister,
and he found what ne required in the Prin-
cipality of Monaco. In that small State
there is no Parliament, the ruler being as
autocratic as the Gar of Russia. Before
NJ. Blanc appeared on the scene the Prince
of Monaco had been driven by his financial
necessities to grant concession to the
founders of gaming house. The venture
had not proved SO successful as was eX-
pected. 1t is easy enough opening a gaming
house, but it is far from easy to keep it
filled with players. About the year 1872
one gaming house after another in Germany
closed its doors forever. All that is special
in the life of place where play is the chief
subject of talk and attraction is now con-
tinued and concentrated at Monte Carlo. 1t
is the last home of roulette in Europe.
The Great Transformation Effected.
The visitor to Monte Carlo who now sees
it Tor the first time cannot conceive the
Transformation which the spot on which it
stands has undergone since N. Blanc
founded the Casino. Before he acq uired the
concession for keeping gaming tables there,
similar tables were in operation in the city
OF Monaco. That city was then very diff
cult of access. 1t was not q pleasant place
of abode. One hotel existed tor the enter
tainment of visitors, and those only who
can feel st home in fourth-rate Italian ho-
tel could feel at home there. 1t ACQUIRED to
him that fine site for Casino, hotel and
villas, existed on the promonotory opposite
to Monaco, which is now the suburb OF
Monte Carlo. He built Casino, which has
been nearly quadrupled in size since then,
and close to it he built an hotel, which has
long been one of the best on the Riviera.
NJ. Blanc had appealed to the public for
the money wherewith to carry out his plans,
having formed company under the name
of "Societe des Bains de Mer ct Cercle

chusetts as to their candidate for the next
Presidency. The developments of the next

tainty in my State, and the opinion which will
determine the next Republican candidate is
yet TO be formed. Massachusetts Democrats

Cleveland, but the expressions of that respect
are. think largely artificial, and do not repre-
sent very deep-seated popular feeling among
the Democratic masses.
Some of the agricultural papers of my State
recently undertook to obtain the views of the
farmers throughout the country on certain
practical, economic and political questions, and
also desired them to name the men whom they
desired to see nominated for the Presidency
by both the Democrats and Republicans
Thousands Of answers were received, and when
the votes were counted 1t was found that the

RANDOLPH CRESCENT, N. W.
"My Dear Pugh-I hope you will like
the pipe which 1 send with this. 1t is
rather curious example of certain school
of Indian carving. And is a present from
''Yours truly,
JOSEPH TREss."
1t was really very handsome Of Tress-
very handsome! The more especially as I
was aware that, to give presents was not
exactly in Tress' line. The truth is that
when I saw what manner OF pipe it was
was amazed. 1t was contained in q sandal
wood box, which was itself illustrated with
some remarkable specimens of carving. 1
use the word remarkable" advisedlY, be-
cause although the workmanship was un-
doubtedly, in its way, artistic, the result
could not be described as beautiful. The
carver had thought proper to ornament the
box with some of the ugliest figures 1
remember to have seen. They appeared to
me to be devils. Or perhaps, they were
intended to represent deities appertaining
to some NEUROLOGICAL system with
which, thank goodness, am unaequainted.
The pipe itself was worthy of the
case in which it was contained. 1t was of
meerschaum, with an amber mouthpiece.
1t was rather too large for ordinary smok-
ing. But then, of course, one doesn't smoke
pipe like that. There are pipes in my

a fixed groove at the outer edge OF this
plausible toy, no hand having touched it,
and the wheel begins to revolve horizon
tally, you may put down your money, call
ing either Rouge" or "Noire," and you
think it as likely as not that the ball will
stop in stall of the color you have named.
In that case the bank will pay you equal
to the money you have staked, and you are
lucky to get it, wise if you put it in your
pocket and walk away. If you have chosen
to bet on one of the numbers, instead OF the
colors, the bank will pay you 80 times.your
stake in the improbable event of the ball
resting in the stall marked with your num-
Der. When the ball settles in the uncolored
receptacle that is designated zero, every
player on color forfeits half his stake to the
bunk.
As there are 81 chances in the revolving
wheel, 1t is evident that the bank, in its ag-
gregate Of operations, has the advantage OF
half chance over the collective players on
either color, reckoning Is for red and 18 for
black, while it has chance of in 81
against each of the players on numbers.
In the long run, the total of zeros is more
than twice the excess of either color above
the other color. We do not see auy cause to
com pain OF TINS advantage over the public;
but it makes the business of the administra.
tion financially safe.
The mischief done to the player begins
with specializing on series of ventures,
imagining that he will retrive his first losses
by subsequent gains; that by some myster-
GUS law OF sequences or alterations the past
event may effect future chance. All such
persistent gambling comes from the conceit

on presentiment of final victory, or belief
in some fanciful System" of arithmetcal
combinations. The fallacy of supposing
that there can be any statistical ground for
such system was ably exposed by
recent writer, Mr.. Norwood Young, in an
article analyzing the results OF 37,691 con-
secutive turns OF roulette at Monte Carlo.
1t may be regarded as certain, however,
that millionaire playing all day long,
every day OF his life, against the wheel,
would, if he lived long enough, be deprived
of his last franc; and nobody who determines
to play 80, or 500, or 5000 turns can reason
ably expect to be gamer.

Whom Oregon Wants.

Hon. Joseph n. Dolph. the senior United
States Senator from Oregon, writes as follows:
II am just in receipt of your letter. In reply
to your question with regard to the preferences
of political parties in Oregon as to the Presi-
dental nominations for 1892, would say that
Secretary Blaine has been for many years ia.
vorite candidate upon the Pacific coast If he
were to be a candidate for the Presidential NOM
ination in 1892 have but little doubt that a
majority of the Republicans in the State rep
resent would very strongly favor his nomina-
tlon. Governor David B. Hill, of New York,
has some warm admirers among Democrats in
the State of Oregon, but now that he is wholly
out of the Presidential race by his acceptance
OF the United States Senatorship from New
ork, l think, from all the expressions I have
heard in regard to the matter from the Demo-
Gratis OF my State, that at present a majority
of the Democratic party would favor the nom

NEW YORK, March 13.-The report that
President Balmaceda, OF Chile, has been
murdered, is as ye: unconfrmed. The con-
dition of affairs in Chile is so desperate,
however, that no occurrence there will sur
prise those we'll informed on the situation.
A bloody battle bas been fought at
Pisagua. The rebels were defeated, having
40 killed and "a wounded. The Govern
meDt continues to exile all persons who are
in any way inclined toward the rebels.
Several German and English merchants
have been given SO hours in which to leave
the country forever. A perfect surprise, to
say the leas.. has been the decree of the
Government expelling from the country the
representative Of a foreign nation-the Con-
sui Of Austria at Valparaiso. The Consul
1t seems, was very much inclined toward the
rebels, and in an unguarded moment stated
his feelings and opinion of Balmaceda to a
friend. The Government prisons are filled
to Overlooking with prisoners-not the scum
OF society, but revolutionists who are con-
Sidered worthy of imprisonment BY Balma-
ceda, who is styled by the revolutionists

ernment
A most terrible disaster took place at
Port Coronel. 1t was about 8 o'clock in
the afternoon when the Esmeralda appeared
in the harbor and demanded the surrender
of the town. This was refused. A perfect
shower of grape end canister was followed
by solid shot. The people fed to the
heights for safety, while some took refuge
in the railroad station. The bonn bardment
continued, amid the screaming of women
and children and the imprecations of men.

A SECRET POLITICAL ORGANIZATION

AS the summer of 1892 draws nearer and
nearer, the coming great national event
the nomination of candidate for the Presi-
dency of these United States by the two
prominent political parties-already begins
to cast its shadow before. "Whom do you
want in 1922" is the question that each man
is asking of his neighbor, and to which he
is eagerly waiting reply. This query is
followed up Immediately by another:
Whom do you think the Democrats and
Republicans will nominate in 1922" With
view to ascertaining the preferences of
large number of voters, and by thus answer
Ing the first question to approximately an
swer the second also, there was recently pro-
pounded to the United States Senators rep
resenting II different States, this following
query: "Who, according to the best of
your knowledge and belief, would be the
most congenial Republican nominee to the
Republicans of your State for President in
1892, and who would be the most congenial
Democratic nominee to the Democrats Of
the same section?"
This inquiry was made by man who is
the head of the most powerful and most
secret ordsr ever organized for political pur-
poses. It's very name is mystery and it
already has large membership in every
one OF the 49 States and Territories compos-
ing the Union. 1t is, therefore, unques-
tlonably destined TO exercise a powerful In
huence upon the political future of every
candidate for national Office in this country,
though its only object is to carry out the
will of the majority of the whole people,
irrespective of party. race or creed. The
answers received will De found below, and
they certainly present q better and Inore re-
liable report of the popular feeling on this
all important subject and a better forecast
OF the action of the two great nominating
conventions of 1892 than can possibly be OBJ
tanned in any other way, as their authors are
OF all others the best qualified to write on
these subjects.

Indian Territory are that. although
the civilized tribes are willing that further
negotiations with view to the sale OF the

nation to quarry stone, is decided.

"There has been very little discussion in Iowa as
to possible or probable candidates for the Pres

lIcans. Blaine and Harrison, Cleveland and
Hill are the names most frequently mentioned,
and each one of those gentlemen has, no doubt,
a considerable following; but 1t is impossible
for me to say at present who Is leading in the
popular favor of their respective parties or
what will be the action Of the Iowa delegation

licans and Democrats in 1892 Public sentiment

Perhaps it may be we'll to correct q CON-
mon misapprehension about the Casino at

the public can enter just as the public could
enter those at Homburg, Wiesbaden and

man towns were forbidden to play at the
