MAKING MORE MONEY IN LAND.

Washington City. April 3.- J. Marion Brooks, whose nomination as United States attorney for the southern district of California has been before the senate for some time past, wrote to President Cleveland a few days ago, requesting the withdrawal of his name, giving as a reason that since he was nominated to the office he had been remarkably fortunate in land investments. and within the past year had made upward of $1,000,000. He wished the president to bestow the office upon some one who valued it more than he. President Cleveland Monday nominated George J. Denis in Mr. Brooks' stead.
