LETTER TO PUBLISHERS
Thiid Assistant Postmaster Madden
Has Addressed a Circular letter
to About 400 Publishers of Papers
nnd Periodicals Asking: for Opin
ions on the Subject How Circula
tions Are Increased by Fnke
Schemes The Government's Loss
Between $1 5,000,000 to ?25.000.
000 a Year.
By i;vltiiti' Wire fiuiu llic ti-'Huml 1'im,
Washington, April II. Having re
peatedly fulled in secure remedial leg
islation from congress to prevent
abuses 11C the privilege of s"i'oiid class
mall nuttier, the postotllce department
otllclnls have under consideration Ihe
question of adoption of it proposed rule
by the authority of Ihe postmaster
general to bring about the desired ie
fonus. With this object lu view, 3Ir.
I-Mwatd U. Madden, third assistant
postmaster general, has addressed a
long circular letter to about -100 pub
lishers of newspapers and periodicals
setting forth the objections sought to
be accomplished by Hie proposed rule
and asking tho following question:
"Til the judgment of those addressed,
will a departmental rule be regarded as
injurious to l2gltltnate newspapers and
periodicals, which will stop absolutely
all premium inducements, direct or in
direct and of whatever character, for
subscriptions; in other words, after a
publisher has liNed a price on his pub
lication any bonus or premium given
to the subscriber, or nny combination
with another thing except a second
class publication, shall vitiate that
subscription in its relation to the sec
ond class rates of poslago."
Mr. Madden adds:
"It Is believed that such a rule as
that proosed will In- of great direct
bnnelll to lcgltlmato journalism and
that In a very large measuie it will
cheek Ibis draft upon the public treas
ury for private advantage, with no
compensating public benelil, through
the elimination of an Immense number
of publications which are wholly sus
tained in their second ulass status by
patronage induced by some extraneous
thing in eonlliel with the spirit of the
law. Such a. consummation bus much
of promise In the direction of better
postal facilities ami elieap.'r rates for
other classes of mall matter."
Xoss to Government.
The circular asset ts that the o,s of
revenue to the government fiom the
abuses of the privileges of second class
matter Is enormous, being estimated
conservatively to be between $ir,G00,OfiO
and $23,000.00(1 a year. Kxistiug regula
tions, however, faithfully administered,
are inadequate to accomplish mateil.tl
reform and tho most prolific means by
which the law is circumvented ie
m.iins undisturbed by regulation.
Of the many means liy which ihe
publications not properly entitled to
this favored postaae rate spring into
existence and thrive, no otnur. it is
asserted by .Mr. Madden, is mi fruitful
and so Insidious as the pet mission
not of law or rule, but of uninterrupt
ed practice that subscriptions may be
obtained by offers of metvnandise,
chances to draw prizes lu guessing
contests and countless ingenious,
schemes of kindred character and ef
fect. Circulation running into Hie thous
ands and Into the millions, the i-hou-lar
says, have been built up by this
premium process for publications,
which upon actual morll, could com
mand no public p.'ilioiiago whatever.
Such "subscriptions" iweept n nu oc
casional Instance where some actually
meritorious publication employs the
plan, represent in no literal sense .1
public lutoiest In the liteuituiv, or u
the news, to which il is Uuilllcll sllell
publications are devoted.
Mr. Madden asks that the uiiiitnr he
given pionipl attention and citys that
the reform proposed can scnieoly he
can led on successfully without the aid
and moral support of Hut .staiiiitud
newspapers find periodicals of the
count 1. v.

PROTEST FROM ASHLEY.
Brnkemen and Telegraphers Feel
They Hnvo Been Sncrlfleed for
the Benefit of Engineers.
By r,iliiiv Will" (mill The .vM.vliln lies.
Wllkcs-Ilatte, April 11. A meeting of
r-picsenlntlvos of the trainmen and
telegraphers employed on the. northern
division of the Central ltttllroatl of
New jersey was held tit Ashley to
night. It Is said I hero was consider
able illssjullMtuullutt expressed over the
terms of setllelrient ot the threatened
strike by the) conference in New York.
The brakeinen and telegruphcrs tool
that their Interests have been sacri
ficed Tor the benefit of some of the
nt!i"r employes, Ihe engineers In par
ticular. L'ttless the telegraphers tc
celve some coneesslonrl rrom the rall
load officials Ibis week, the loaders
talk loudly of a strike In which they
claim they will bo Joined by the freight
brakeinen. Tho trainmen and opera
tors will take another vote on the situ
ation. It is luu dly probable, however,
that the telegraphers and brakemeu
will undertake a .strike on their own
account.
The ehleis of their br.nhei hoods are
against such a course. The engineers
and llrcmeu of this division, while they
are not altogether salisllcd with the
terms of .settlement, would hardly Join
the trainmen and telegraphers in u
sympathetic strike. The i.'inployes of
the New Jersey ill visions are accused
by the iirai or" this section of being In
too big a hurry to settle the grievances
nnd sacrificing demands which, in tho
past they claimed must be granted by
the company.

Confetence Notes.
Speukll fiom a s(jii oiifijioiid'ht
West Plrtston. April 14. Of all the
Important and interesting events of a
Methodist conference, the one to which
those familiar with the cn-ganization
look forwaul to with the most pleas
ure is the Sunday morning love, feast.
One who is present at "this service for
(bo first time is not likely lo oven
forgot the occasion. The music lor
the Methodist preacher can singoften
he can play the little cabinet organ
and can act n.s chorister and c-holr
In his small church among the hills
and it is something to reni'mibcr that
great swelling wave (f melody which
drifts far out Into tho streets. The
earnest faces, the vibrant voicei, the
devotion thrill the baholder.
It is at Ihe love feast that the su
perannuated preacher's come to arid a.
last trembling testimony to I he bless
edness of the service which had been
pursued with so much care and sac
rifice during many long years. Such
words as these linger us echoes of that
early meeting. "To live so that 1 may
keep sweet tho year around." "t
hear the voices that rang in my ears
in childhood leading me lo the cross:
T listen to them today and give
thanks." "If Christianity mean any
thing. It means putting your shoulder
under somebody's burden." "Sixty
two years ago T was convicted of sin
and have followed Ihe light as il led
mo."
Great Throng- Present.
This service was thronged and the
beauty and peace of It tested like a
benediction on the multitude. Rev.
Thomas Harrison was the leader.
Kev. Dr. Moore offered the opening
prayer.
Kev. Dr. CJriffin opened lh tegular
sarvlce by reading Psalm xc. Rev. Dr.
Floyd read the hymn, "How Tedious
and Tasteless tho Hours." Rev. J. 13.
Sweet offered prayer.
The church seats about fluO. About
C.f'OO people earnestly desired lo hear
the bishop. The problem of two bodies
occupying the samu space at the sanio
time offered tho same old dlfliculti,s,
and even Ihe overflow meeting in the
basement, led by Dr. Wilson, tailed to
telleve the pressure.
Much was expected of tho sermon of
the morning, but even those familiar
with (lie marvellous power of Hisliop
Fowler wore unprepared for the ad
dress which followed. While the
though Is were great and Ihe construc
tion and Infinite beauty of application
and spirit were unique, yet such a
combination of woids might have boon
delivered by another, but not Ihe un
dercurrent, the divine fire, the supremo
magnetism and the simplicity of direct
ness which clinraetoi'ls'.u this great pul
pll orator.
The subject w.is "The Towers of
Zlou." l'salms. xlvillil2, "Walk about
JClun and round about her: toll tho
towers thereof." In pint the bishop

TACTICS OF MINISTERS
Their Conduct In Bcgatd to the Ne
gotiations with the Chinese Pleni
potentiaries Has Caused Much
Adverse Comment Meetings Are
Postponed for the Most Trivial
Causes Alaim of the Mission
aries. B' ritilusivr Ho- lu, 111 I lie ... iij,., t'i,..,
IVkiii, April II. Komours Youtaro,
the Jnp.iueso minister, accompnnleil by
Itfiierttl Vainagiiehl, (ho Japanese com
m.indcr. recent! called upon Pi luce
l.'hlng and notified htm that the return
of Kuipiu'or Ivwnng Su to IVkln was
tugenlly deslied, Pilnee tilling wasln
foinied that the emperor's wishes would
be respected by the foreign troops and
thai every courtesy would be shown
him.
ll U.is pointed out to the (Jhlueti
plenipotentiary that tin: emperor's re
turn was of the highest possible Im
portance as 11 tree Ung the malnlennne"
of the Integrity of the Chinese empire,
and that he should come, accompanied
by every available soldier, bv at least
-".000 men if possible.
Ihese Iroops, it was further contend
ed by the Japanese minister, must be
sent Into Manchuria, as the Itusslans
teportcd groat disturbances there, nnd
it was not light bar (he task of quel
ling the trouble should be thrown upon
the shoulders of one nation. Finally.
Prince Ching was assuted that if tliu
-.('0" Chinese tionpK could not suppress
the disorders in Manchuria, other pow
ers would send an Intel national force
to co-operate with China, wheb all the
powers regarded as a friendly power.
No teply having been received to thW
communication, I.i Hung Chang was
today notified to the same effect, ami
told that Kmperor Kvvang Su must
give an immediate answer.
Missionary Statements.
Prince Chins says all bis reports gn
lo show that the missionary statement?
legnrding a rebellion In Mongolia are
not supported by the facts. Neither
does lie believe (hat the rebellion of
Uoneral Tung Fu Ilslang amounts lo
much.
"It is the object of certain elements."
ho asserts, "to make it seem that China
is in a condition of constant broil, ten
dering it unafu for tho foreign troops
to be wtlbdiawn. Those who have this
lu view will magnify 11 villiiRo quai-ml
Into a. big rebellion. The missionaries,
naturally timid, take (hose reports in
good faith."
The ( (induct of the ministers of the
powers over I hi; negotiations with the
Chinese plonipotoulluiios caused much
adverse i-oniinenl among the military
attlhorilies. Their illlatoiy tactics have
prevented what might have been ac
complished two months ago. Kvou now
the meetings of Ihe ministers aie post
poned for the most trivial causes. For
Instance. Ihe deslie of one minister to
go -on a picnic to the Inmbs of the Ming
dynasty pi evented the holding f a
meeting Tor a number of days. Tlieii
M. He filer? and olhor ministers In
sisted upon celebrating lO.ister, and
I bus a week was consumed, fu a third
raa nn unnecessary visit by one min
ister to Tleii-Tsln held up Ihe negotia
tions for four days. These aie talr in
stances of what has been uliunl con
tinuous fiom the beginning.
