Is Monte Carlo ON tho wane3

According to tho reports Of recent visitors
20 Monte Carlo, the great gambling estab-
iisnment at that place, from which the
Prince of MONACO derives the larger por-
tion of his revenues, has been more crowded
than ever. Nevertheless, it was announced
the other day that the total receipts from
the gaming tables during the past year have
fallen of by some $780, 900, as compared
with those Of the preceding twelvemonGh, |,
while they arc smaller by 100000 than
those which were forthcoming in 1929.
The diminution OF profits Is ascribed to two
causes, first, q decline in tho number Of
players for large. stakes, and. secondly, an
unwelcome increase In the number of Wis
ttors who stake only small sums or do not
play at all. and by whom access to the tables
q obstructed.
AZ regards the first cause, 1t il probable
enough that the general depression of busi-
meas throughout Europe has lessened the
ability and chilled the dispoaition of foolish
people to risk largo sums at trents ct qua
Saats and roulette. In Italy, especially,

Prom the Illustrated American.


There Is evidence of deep disappointment in
England, because America has evinced no
eagerness, not even the faintest foreshadow of q
desire, to go into @ blind pool with Great Britain
for the commercial control Of Asiatio affairs.
The war in the East looked like England's op-
portunity to seize usual tho lions share Of the
spoils, while the other beasts. tired of fighting,
lay painting on their paws.
But the Franco Russian "bluff," with Ger.
many also humbugged into the scheme, has up
set English diplomatic calculations. Had Dis
racli been alive, he would have seen through
this bluff In a twinklinR. and called It serenely
all alone by himself.
For England to count on any alliance. ofren-
sive and defensive. with this country. shows
British ignorance Of American public opinion
that Is sublime to tho top-heavy point Of ridicu-
lousness. American individuals here and there
may like England. but tho plain fact Is that. as
o nation, we dislike her and distrust her.
This hate is not hysterlcal, but historical; an
hereditary bias intensified by MANY things that
have happened in this century. It is not con-
fined to the North. nor solely on account of her
attitude during our OWL conflict. Representa-
tive Southern statesmen like Morgan have no
moro use for England than have Republican
statesmen.
The enmity is, however, not to her people,
but toward her as a national entity. When

Her mart Is q robbers den.
With the wrested toll Of the toiler
And the mortgagad souls Of men.
She hath scourgod the weak and tho lowly

How We Deal with Offenders.

The morning papers yesterday told us how
the courts of this State dealt with q case of
attempted, and almost successful, murder
and a case of attempted suicide.
A woman who had cut her husbands
throat with razor, was allowed to go free.
A man who had tried to blow his brains out
with pistol, was sentenced to imprison-
ment in the State prison for one year.
Here is the account Of what happened In
the first case:
"AsxEs RoEsLKR. who recently cut her husbands
throat IL Brooklyn and pleaded guilty to assault In
tho second Degree released yesterday under
pension Of sentence. Judge MOORE said:
"'There arc strong mitigating circumstances In
your favor. You have always been good, industri-
Gus woman, and there has not been one word heard
against your character You have brute for o hus-
band. He has lod you wretched existence. Tho ON
who investigated your case tolls you al
most insane from his neglect and abuse when you
committed the crime. do not want to disgrace
dishonor q woman like you by making convict Of
you. Under the circumstances. I think q suspension
of sentence will best the justice here
But remember. such q thing must not occur again. II
your husband Ill treats you again. as he probably will
you must appeal 70 the law"
Here Is the account Of what happened in
the second case,
"Recorder Corr yesterday sentenced HENRY W.
RAIL- 81 years old. OF 2lo5 Bowery to year in State
prison for attempting suicide on May 9. RAIL- was
found Fifty ninth street and Seventh avenue, In
Central Park, with bullet wound in his head, which
he admitted he had inflicted In attempt at suicide
1t 10 said be the heaviest pronounced
for that offence"
While 1t Is a crime under the laws Of New
York to attempt to commit suicide, man
who succeeds in taking his own life is not
deemed to have been killed while engaged in
the commission of a crime in such sense
as to invalidate a policy Of Insurance on that
ground. The Penal Code declares that sui
eide is grave public wrong; yet from the
impossibility Of reaching the successful per-
petrator no forfeiture is imposed"
The crime of attempting suicide, how
ever, is made felony, punishable by i'm
prisonment not exceeding two years, or q
fine not exceeding 81 900, or both.
The New York statute on this subject has
been severely criticised by law writer's, but
1t has one good feature. 1t enables the po-
lice In many instances to interpose forcibly
and prevent suicide by arresting persons
who are in condition of frenzy or despond-
ency, and who willingly relinquish all idea
of self-destruction after experiencing q
short period of detention.
On the other hand, 1t does seem to US a
dreadful thing to send poor wretch to herd
with convicts at Sing Sing for year, simply
because he has tried to got into his grave q
little sooner than ho must needs 20 there.
This remedy for attempting suicide seems
admirably adapted to induce . repetition
of the offence.
If Judge MOORE was right In being 20
lenient in the RoEsLER case, Recorder GoFF
was certainly wrong In being 30 severe in
the case of RAIL-.

the patrolling force Of tho two countries.
Undoubtedly IL also aids in the enforcement
OF the Paris rules; but to this enforcement
Great Britain Ia rs much bound as our own
country. Canada, however, apparently
thinks she would be better of with no
rules on this subject beyond what may DO
imperative under the Paris award.
As TO the motive suggested In Victoria,
namely, displeasure at the failure Of
Congress to appropriate s495,ooo as dam
ages under the award Of the Paris tribunal,
tho two matters obviously have no logical
connection. The British Minister flled claims
amounting to s542, 189.2e. The habit Of
claiming two, Eve. ten, or twenty times as
much as is awarded is familiar in such cases
And instances Of it were cited In Congress,
90 that an agreement by MIR. GRESHAM to
nay S4e5, 900 out Of about s54s, 900 was
peculiar to start with. It further appeared
that $2S3, 900, or moro than half the
claim, was for the expected catches Of vessels
warned away, and, Of course, exaggerated
expectations would be put down, even con-
ceding that the Geneva rule in the Alabama
claims, that prospective damages cannot
properly be made the subject of compensa-
tion," does not apply here Again, more
than half Of the vessels for which claims
were filed were owned wholly or in part,
under liens or otherwise, by Americans,
and about $500, 900 out Of the origi-
nal claim of s54e,0oo involved the
pecuniary interests Of American citi-
Eens. Awards to them would compensate
subterfuges for breaking the laws of their
own land.
Once moro, our Governments AGENT Mr..
JOHN W. FOSTER, discovered that large
number of tho ships had been put down, in
the claims, at what was, II his figures are
correct, perhaps double their value. The evi-
dence of officially recorded tonnages, more
than doubled in the claims and Of values
proportionally overstated, was submitted to
Congress-, as well as his opinion that Of the
amount originally claimed less than one
fifth stood on legal or equitable basis.
Our Canadian friends will find that at
tho proper time a proper compensation,
under the award OF the Paris tribunal, will
be provided for by Congress. Meanwhile,
II the pelagic sealers do not take advantage
of the provisions for sealing up arms. II
remains to see what will result. What
they seem to seek IL the destruction of the
inference that II vessel has unsealed arms
she has probably been using them for hunt
ing seals. Thus our officers may have more
work. through needing to examine tho skins
to see how the animals were killed.
Yet the yielding Of England to Canada's
wishes on this point Is Of much less con-
sequence than her failure thus far to re-
spond to our Governments proposal to have
no seal hunting this year in Behring Sea,
the United States foregoing the whole catch
Of the islands for the sake Of stopping pelagio
sealing, with its terrible ravages, until
better regulations can be made.
Canada will have cause to regret this
change in the rules If it proves to facilitate
poaching. There will be trouble If Con-
gress, next winter, finds that the ravages of
pelagio sealing have increased instead of
being checked.
