BOSTON, Mass, April 15.-A circular
was issued tonight by the secretary Of
the advisory board Of the American

these EXCERPTS are taken:
AFTER several months investigation

submitted were carefully examined
Among the conclusions reached were
these: -,
II, That the national advisory board
adopt no candidate gs the eanalaass
which the order should support, as TO
do 81 this time would be most unwlse
and impoltIc.
''2. After carefully aualyzlng the eTi-
dcnce adduced, the COMMITTEES found 10
he true the charges 6lstS against ono
OF the candidates, Wig: Ex-Governor
Mckinley, Of discriminating In his np..
puintments In favor Of RpmanistR and
against American Protestants, because
the latter were members OF the Ameri-

Concerning the charges made against
