MANDAMUS ISSUED.
Postmaster General to Restore Certain
Publications to Second Class

Justice Bradley of the District Supreme
Court today issued a mandamus against
the Postmaster General. directing him to
restore to the second class rates the fol-
lowing publications: The Official Railway
Guide Of New York, the Pocket List Of
Railway Officials of New York and the
Monthly Official Railway List Of Chicago.
The court also issued an injunction against
the Postmaster General enjoining him from
excluding these publications from the sec
ond-class mail privilege.
These cases were brought in the Equity
Court as test cases involving the policy
of the Post Office Department in it's new
second clas mail regula tions. The court
in it's opinion, said that the Postmaster
General has read into the law provision
which he had no authority to make in thus
framing the regulations. The decision will
have an important bearing on the right Of
a large number of publications which re-
Gently have been barred from the second
class mail and made to pay the higher
third-class rates.

India, he says, is rapidly recovering

ahead. The demand for American
goods is going UP by leaps. partly be

Why Opposition to-. Edwards CO

From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.
A number of state newspapers have
had a great deal to say lately con-
corning the opposition offered
through The Gazette Office to the ap-
pointment of Agent Edwards of the
Grow Agency to be Indian inspector.
While it was at no time intended
that it should, the opposition to the
Edwards confirmation appeared also
to work in opposition to the confrma-
ton of Mr.. Reynolds of this city, who
had beentnamed as the to
Agent Edwards at the Crow agency.
The charges against Agent Ed
wards were largely based upon the
statements made by a former en-
ploye of the Grow reservation serv'
ing under the present agent. The un'
reliability of this witness, discover
ed after objection to the confirmation
had been made at Washington, was
apparent and for this reason the
complaint filed was withdrawn
AS to the statement that former
Senator Carter hau anything to dc
with the withdrawal of the charges
The Gazette most emphatically as

suited at any time about the matter

Burlington Company Preparing to Add

om Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
Because of constantly increasing
business the Burlington is finding its
freight depot is becoming too small
and arrangements have been made for
making a material addition to the
structure. A gang of carpenters are
expected to arrive with a few days,
when a 6O-foot extension is to be made
to the warehouse, while some changes
in the interior of the office arrange
ments will probably also be effected
to afford proper accommodations for
the enlarged clerical force.
Although not definitely settled, it is
more than probable that H. B. Segur,
the company's general agent, will
have his Office down town and in the
business portion of the city, a move
which, if maze, will prove not only a
great convenience to Mr.. Segur him
self, but also to the customers of the
company. The present location of
the gentleman's Office is decidedly in
convenient to all having business to
transact there.
