Paris. October 29.--.rhe revolution In
Portugal is an established fact. but
Europe Is still asking why the peaceful
little prineipality Of Monaco should
have raised the red flag OF revolt. The
Inhabitants of this White Paradise by
the Sea- number about 1900 souls.
They pay absolutely no taxes, and
their livelihood is practically assured
by the proceeds of the Casino.
True, they arc not allowed to gam
BILE. but then 1t must be gratifying
to them to know that they are better
off than the thousands of.poor devils
who blow out their brains every sea-
son in or about the gambling rooms.
In all Europe there is no more pros
porous nor thriving people than the
Monacoans. Their prince Is an easy
going man, who spends his time climb
Ing mountains, or delving into the sea.
lie was never known to refuse his
subjects anything, and this Is why the
sudden uprising Of Monaco Is still a
matter of conjecture and surprise
among the European nations.
The real facts. which. / can now give
for the first time, of the case. are
these:

WAS necessary for him to do was to
apply to Monsieur Camille Blanc. which

sMarduet that he could do nothing, and
referred him to the prince. Nothing
daunted. NJ. Marquet applied per-
sonally to the prince. who seemed en-
b5rrassed. and who, in his turn, res
ferred him to Admiral d'Hautefeuillo
who is Governor OF Monaco. NJ

about to give in, a most unfavora Bile

rIfraff OF the town. paid them we'll,
and set about raising a revolt, with
the purpose of forcing the governor
to resign. The revolution was or.
sanized solely by Marquet and
launched with his money.
The result. as every one knows, was
that the Monacoans got their Consti-
tuition. not that9they particularly want
i cd Constitution, but that Marquet
wanted to crush Hautefeuille and
force himself into seat OF the board
OF directors OF the Casino The conse-
duence of this manoeuvre. however.
still remains to be seen. 1t only goes
to show how a small personal grudge.
backed By sufficient capital, can topple
over governments land how the Mar
