AMERICANS TRY TO BREAK THE
BANK AT MONTE CARLO
PARIS, Dec. 30.?With the opening
of tho season the long-waited winter
stream of American money hns begun
to flow to Monte Carlo, to the generul
satisfaction of tho Casino's sharehold
ers. hotel keepers, and tho rest of the
principality's population.
Coincident with the season's start,
the usual stories are incirculation as
to the huge amounts won by players
at the tables, and as usual none has
been fully verified. Several Ameri
cans have been doing their best in
this direction, however, and with vary
ing SUCC088.
Although at present confirmation is
lacking, the opinion is strong in cer
tain quarters at Monaca that that the
agitation in France for higher taxa
tion of casinos is being directed from
there.
The Monte Carlo authorities care
very little about attempts to break
the bank. What they really dread Is
Increased competition from Nice and
other French gambling centers?Aix
Anghlcn, Vichy and Biarritz?and it
is obvious that if the proposod law is
adopted, the French casinos will be
greatly hampered, while the smaller
ones will be frozen out altogether, all
of which will bo to the great bonoflt
of the principality.
Camlllo Blanc and his associates,
who at present profit to the extent of
$16,000,000 annually by persons who
imagine that the law of averages can
be temporarily suspended in their fav
or, will-be tbe big gainers.
Another prospect, far from pleasing
to the Monagasques is the now amend
ment to tho French gambling law.
providing that roulette shall be per
mitted in France. At present the
wheel, which is regarded as one of tho
attractive forms of gambling from the
variety of its combinations and the
comparatively high odds in favor of
tho player, has boon played in Mon
aca only, and if authorized at French
resorts it would strike a severe blow
at the prosperity of the principality.

DESIRE NEW COIN j
or SMALL VALUE:
LONDON, Dec. 30.?One of the dl- |
rect results of the insurance act Is the ;
suggestion, welcomed heartily by ?
lai-ge employers of labor, thai an j
elghtpenny (16-cent) piece be struck |
by the Mint as a solution of the cop- ?
per famine caused by the act. J
Take, for instance, the weekly wage |j
of 30s., ($7.50) which is a good aver
age wage for the British workman. He .
formerly received a gold sovereign
and a gold half sovereign. Now ho ?
gets 298. and 8d. This has caused t. .
great increase in the demand for cop
per, and now that the holiday trade |
has been going on, when thousands of <
small articles are purchased, the trou- !
ble has become more acute. . \
One objection raised is that the sug-j ?
gested new coin will be very similar !
to the sixpence and will lead to con- j
fusion and mistakes, but the Mint of- ?
ficials advocate the issue of a coin
with a lower percentage of silver than J
the ordinary silver coin?a piece not ?
too closely resembling the shilling .
and the" sixpence. The question will 1
be raised in Parliament shortly.
