which caused the circulation of this

NOT UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
The Act Raising Salaries of Officials of
Police and Fire Departments.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 30-Judge
Seawell this afternoon rendered his de-
cision in the suit instituted by Max
Pepper to restrain Auditor Broderick
from authorizing the payment of the in
creased salary demands of the officials
of the Police and Fire Departments
The raise of salaries was provided for
by late Act of the Legislature, but to
test the matter Pepper applied for an
injunction, as stated, against the paying
of the additional sums. holding that the
Legislature had exceeded its powers in
passing the bill.
A temporary restraining order was is
sued, and Judge Seawell then took the
whole matter under advisement until
this afternoon. In his decision he sus-
tains Broderick's demurrer to Peppers
complaint, dissolves the temporary in
junction, and dismisses the suit, holding
that there is nothing unconstitutional in
the increased salary bill and that the
Legislature had the right to pass it.

WITHDRAWALS OF GOLD.
CAUSES NO ALARM AT THE
TREASURY DEPARTMENT.
The Annual Outward Movement From
This Country to Europe Usually
Begins at This Time.

WASHINGTON, April 30-To-d day s
Withdrawals from the New York Sub
Treasury of $1,000, 900 gold coin and
bullion for export is not viewed with
apprehension at the Treasury Depart
ment, old officials of the department
calling attention to the fact that during
the last twenty years and more there
had been an annual outward movement
of gold from this country to Europe,
usually beginning in April or May and
ending in midsummer and a CORE
spending return movement during the
winter months. The last three years,
however, have been marked by abnor-
NAL gold movements, based on abnor-
NAL conditions, which, it is said, no
longer exist
The records of the Treasury show
that during the last eight years the
heaviest monthly expectations of gold
in round numbers have occurred as fol-
lows: June, 1889, $4,000, 600: July,
1890, S12 100000; May, 1891, $31 ,OO0,-
600; June, 1892, $4,000, 600; May, 1893,

February, 1895, S26 100000; May, 1896.
SO, 000,O 900.
Several reasons are given for the
present gold export movement, of which
reasons the heavy importations to take
advantage of the proposed new tariff
law is regarded as the weightiest
To-day's custom receipts amounted

for which settlements must be made in
gold
The money spent by American tour
lists abroad, which has been estimated
as high as S150,0000O0 year. is an
other factor in the problem The de-
mand for foreign bills on this account
has begun already, and is destined to
continue for some months.
Another factor is the heavy purchase
of gold on Australian and Japanese ac-
count. During the first ten days in the
present month the Bank of England
alone lost about 100000 to Japanese
and Austria Hungary.
The apprehension of a general con
fiict among the Powers. growing out of
the war between Turkey and Greece,
and the recent decisions of the Supreme
Court against railroad traffic combina-
tions. it is thought, also may have been
contributory causes to the present ne
cessity of shipping gold abroad.
Whatever the cause, no alarm is felt
as to the outcome. The present stock
of gold in the Treasury-S1o3, :}o4 OBS
is regarded as ample to meet any emer-
gency without in the least impairing
our credit abroad.

Colds lead to coughs, coughs to Pneu-

will positively break a cold inside of
twenty-fou hours. Old colds, new colds
and obstinate colds cured in few hours.
When the cold reaches the lungs or
bronchial tubes the Cough Cure should
be used alternately every half hour with

antesd to prevent pneumonia If used in
the beginning of cold. Pneumonia,
or Inflammation of the lungs, can be
controlled by tho uae OF these two curss.
A separate cure for each disease. At
