output of gold in the last few
years has increased the amount of
money in circulation and conse-

better times have resulted. Even
Baron Rothschild stated recently
that if the gold output had not

have been compelled to resume the

was one of the foremost advocates
of the single gold standard in

seems to US that the Democrats

Rcbecca J. Taylor, the War De-

dismissed for criticising President
Roosevelt in the public prints,
brought suit in mandamus to-day

Justice lIagner issued rule a
gainst the Secretary, returnable
July 2S, to show why the writ Of
mandamus should not be granted.
Miss Taylor's case has attracted
considerable attention, insOmuch
as it has been alleged that her dis
missal was Il violation of the civil
service law. The utterances TO
which the Secretary took excep-
ton were made in an open letter
to the Post in this city. In this
she roundly denounced Pres ident

tude of the administration as in

in statement to the press to-day
that her object in bringing the
suit is to defend the right of free

that recent events have clearly

of the Democrats was not so much
for the free coinage of silver as il
was for more money. At that time
il seemed the only way to increase
the amount of money was to have

H. 8 b. beers Cotton Letter.

New Orleans, April 1.-Notwith-
standing early Liverpool advices were
more favorable than looked for, our
market opened 2 lower, but subse-
ouently advanced 4 to on fresh buy
ing. The later easiness in Liverpool
and the general desire to realize prof
IS, .occasioned a break of 10 to II from
ne top, in the face of very light re-
ceipts. Near the close values steaded
slightly on the firmness of local spots,
easing off again shortly after making
the net loss 5 to points on the day.
The amount brought into sight during
March, was $4,000, against GAG, 900 last
year, aggregating from Sept. 1, to
March 81, inclusive, 9,275,0o0 against
S,774000 last year.
The semi-weekly interior receipts are
estimated at $4,000, against $1,000 last
year. From present indications, the
amount to be brought into sight dur
ing the week, looks as if it will range
around $4,000, against 149, 900 last year
The small movement is attributed in
a measure to the washouts throughout
the Gulf states and the restricted ex-
port demand for spots in the interior.
Sentiment continues favorable to the
article, yet 1T appears that constant
buying is required to maintain prices
