LONDON, Dec. 25.-The alleged attempt
of the Prince of Monaco to bleed" the
Casino Company has led to the publication
of a pamphlet by a group of shareholders,
full of interesting reading. While every
body is aware that the Casino contributed
largely to his revenues, few people knew
that, besdese the subsidy of the prince,
the establishment keeps up the judges, po-
lice, lighting, water, postofice, clergy and
charitable institutions. Last seasons ex-
penditures of the principality, apart from
the maintenance of the Casino, which was
1884 900, amounted to 913O,OOO, of which sum
the prince had e5OOO0, the courts, police,
ETC., 100000; clergy and schools, $4,000;
charities, $1,000; prizes for sports,
G11,0OO and the postoffices and losses,
$4,000. The dividends on shares abb
sorbed 9576,OO0, making a total rev.
enue of 91540,00O which the fools of the
world left at the Monte Carlo gambling
tables An interesting item is press sub
ventions, e25, 000.' The pamphlet says it
is absolutely necessary to eXpend large
sum in securing the good will of the CONT
mental press, and it is said that over half
the stories of suicides are only bids on the
part of Riviera newspapers for a share of

1t appears that the Prince Of Monaco at
tended recent meeting of the shat eholders
and offered to renew the concession for fif-
ty years, the terms being a gradual increase
of his personal subsidy until the sum
reaches G100OO0 annually, new port to be
built at the cost of 1920, 600, an opera house
to be built costing $4,000, and various
other items, making a total of G19O,000 adj
ditional annually. Although the Prince has
signed the new concession, it remains to be
seen whether the forthcoming meeting of
the shareholders will approve accepting
