night demands were made that re-
forms be granted.
The news of the capture of the
Venezuelan coast guard ship Alexis
by the Dutch cruiser Gelderand be-
came known in Caracas this morn
ing. A big crowd at once assembled
in the Plaza Bolivar and demonstrat-
ed in support of the government.
The captain of the Alexis, who
came ashore at Puerto Cabello, has
sent up to Caracas the communica-
tion handed him by the Dutch Of
ficer who came On board from the
Gelderland. This note is as follows
'"On board the cruiser Gelderland,
December 12.
Her Majesty the Queen of Hol-
land has given orders for her war
ships temporarily to sequestrate sand
embargo all Venezuelan government
vessels. This is a retaliatory meas
ure. We demand that you lower
your flag and surrender your ship
and your persons to the commander
Of the Gelderland. All resistance
will be useless. II you resis the re-
suit win be the loss of your vessel
and death to many of you.
Acting President Gomez Issued a
decree yesterday in which he relates
the capture of the Alexis, after which
he declares:
''I consider these acts true in
yaslon of Venezuelan territory and
an aggression against the Venezuelan
government. They constitute a grave
offense. The national sovereignty
Is threatened, and the territorial in
tegrity, honor and dignity of the
father-land Is in danger. u
81 decree the nation in q state OF
defense, and consequently the exec
utiye assumes and will exercise the
extraordinary faculties conferred up
ON him by section VIII OF article
LINK OF the Venezuelan Constitu-
tion.
The news that the republic had
been placed in state Of national de-
tense against Holland ran through
the city like wildhre, and In few
moments there was an enormous
crowd in front of the Yellow House,
the executive mansion, to greet Act
ing President Gomez.
AS Gomez made his way across the
plaza to the Yellow House he was
received with enthusiasm. The yell
low House was crowded with nu-
merous assemblage of the most dis
tinguished citizens OF Caracas.
Speeches were made demanding that
all political prisoners be set at lib
erty and that the existing government
monopolies be abashed.
The threatened danger from with
out had double effect on the people;
they demanded measures OF protec-
tion, but at the same time they In
sisted upon the termination of one oil
the most unpopular courses of th,
Castro administration, the mainte-
nance of government monopolies n
the necessaries Of life.
Foreign Minister Paul replied on
behalf OF the acting President. He
exhorted the people TO trust Comes
to solve the difficult problem con,
fronting Venezuela today and to hell
him carry his burden OF tremendous
responsibility.

large number of students, went to thu

made public here President-elect Taft
declares that The game of golf Is
a test Of character and that nothing
else is more democratic. The letter
was written to the ST. Andrews
Golf club and In part he said:
'You know and I know that there
IS nothing more democratic than
golf.
"There Is nothing which furnishes
a greater test of character and self
restraint nothing which puts one
more in equity with ones fellows
or. I may say, puts one lower than
ones fellows. than the game Of
golf. II there is any game that
will instill in ones heart more
intense feeling OF self-abasement and
humiliation than the game OF golf
Il should like to know what It is"

STOCKS ADVANCE SEVERAL POINTS Political Trend At Chicago Is
 Favorable to Prices MONEY IS VERY ABUNDANT Private Discount Rate at Paris Has Gone Up, But New York Money Is
 Easier With Business Very
 Much Restricted.
MONEY IS VERY ABUNDANT

sew Fork, June 16.-Whle some slight expansion of volume occurred in the stock market today, the dealings were still al- most wholly in the hands of the profess sional leaders. This class was passing the enlarged operations on political views and on their opinions of developments at the republican national convention, according to their own avowals. They attached most importance, apparently. to the so- called anti-injuncton plank of the plat form, and they bought and bid up stocks on the receipt of information alleged to come from the best informed quarters. md stated in very positive trems that the proposition to insert plank restricting the issuance of injunctions by certain reg ulations would be carried into effect.
 The motives for buying stocks were not effective outside of a narrow circle, the political activities having no other appa- rent effect on the general financial world than to prompt to caution and hesitation. Other matters seemed to be ignored. Mon ey continued to work easier and rates for some periods of time loans were quotably lower Present banking supplies are so abundant that nothing more promises to encroach on them seems sufficient to in- huence money rates.
 There was an advance in the private discount rate at Paris today following the rise at Berlin yesterday, and continued strength in the foreign exchange market indicated the possibility of a further out go of gold. Trust companies wiil with draw something like $20,000O0O from the banks before July 1 to comply with the new law requiring them to hold 10 per cent of cash reserves on that date and i5 per cent. by February, 1909.
 Notwithstanding the ease of the money market, the bond market has f1attened out under the influence of large new issues. The steady buying of the new Union Pa oific As at 953s was done mostly by single brokerage house. The statement Of the country's foreign trade for May affords no explanation of the gold outflow the falling off in exports being more than doubled by the decrease in imports, com pared with May last year. The only in- fuence traceable to the reports of con- tinued unfavorable weather conditions in the southwest was the comparative heav- mess of one or two of the granger ra1l- roads in that section, notably Atchison.

COTTON MARKET
 MAKES ADVANCE Sellers Are Not Aggressive and
 Prices Go Higher SPOT ADVICES 8uLLISH
Threatening Conditions Along the Red River Are Partly Responsible for the Rise, But Spot Markets
 Are Strong.

New York, June 16.-The cotton market was more active and firmer today. closing very steady at a net advance of IS to 19 points. Sales were estimated at 10000 bales.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 3 to points on better cables than expected and while it reacted slightly during the early session under Q continuation of yesterdays offerings based on the supposed improvement in the av- craze conditions of the crop. sellers were not aggressive. On the other hand. there seemed to be considerable demand from Liverpool, the south and local sources. the latter probably being for covering re- cent sales, and, during the latter trad ing prices advanced on reports that the food situation in the southwest was be- coming more serious
 The weekly report of the weather bu- reau had no apparent influence, but there were bullish spot advices and bullish ru- mors regarding the near month situation in all three of the big markets, and an increased demand from recent sellers. The highest point was reached in the late trading and the market closed at practically the best prices. Another break was reported In the levee near Shreve- pert and while the official forecast indi- cated that unsettled conditions responsi- ble for recent rains and floods in the west would probably pass away by Thursday of this week. the outlook was for con tinued high water in the belt.
 No definite news is yet available regard ing the area flooded or percentage of dam age Advces as to trade conditions in Germany continue pessimistic, but spot markets are holding firm, and the day s official reports from the south reported an advance of one-eighth in several mar kets
 Receipts at the ports today 1o70 bales against 413 last week and 7,116 last year. For the week 6O,000 bales against 64,223 last week and 25,5SS last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans 2960 bales against 1881 last year, and at Houston 31S9 bales against ,O42 last year.

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York, June 16.-(special)-A very quiet market during the opening hour be- came firm and higher, advancing some IS to 20 points on a better demand from spinners in the southern markets and the fear of an overflow of the lower Red river The marked feature of the past few days has been the disposition of the trade to avoid being short of cotton. 1t r. felt that the slow improvement in trade will finally develop into normal times and while it is admitted that with the eX- oeption of Oklahoma the crop is improv- ing, the improvement does not alter tn 3 impression that the strong position of cot ton may make itself felt. In short the traders prefer to buy on this idea.

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, June 16.-Spot cotton was steady at an advance of 1sc on all grades: sales were 1500 bales on the spot and 200 to arrive.
 Futures opened quiet and irregular. The July option was unchanged at the open ing, the August option 10 points up and October and December 2 points up. Ab- sence of offerings in any volume finally resulted in a buying movement, which brought about an appreciable advance in the market. This bullish feature offset the effect of the good weather reports and a none too favorable Liverpool. Some improvement was attributed to the pass ing away of the scare attendant upon the introduction of an anti-future bill in the Louisiana assembly, the bill having been unfavorably reported by the com mittee to which it was referred. During the late session the market was given a further stimulus by the reports from the spot market which showed improvement both in prices and the amount of cotton sold. At the close, which was steady, the active months were 13 to IS points above the close yesterday.
