NEW SET OF STAMPS PROBABLE.
May Be Issued to Comm crate the
Buffalo Exposition.

1t Is more than likely that the Postmaster
General will order the issuance OF a new
set Of stamps to commemorate the Buffalo
exposition, which takes place In the city
of Buffalo. n. Y, in 1901 The matter has
already been brought to the attention Of
the third assistant postmaster general Mr.
Madden, and he is favorably impressed
with the idea provided the series does not
cost too much. A member of the exposition
committee recently called upon Gen. Mad
den and asked about the matter. The Wis
itor was requested to put his request in
writing and 1T would be considered
There Is almost certain to be considera BILE
opposition to the issue from philatelists
VINO are opposed as a general proposition
to the issuance of any new varieties of
stamps. When the proposition to issue a
distinctive set of stamps for the Omaha
protest from stamp collectors, but it was
OF no avail. 1t is represented that the issu-
ance of stamps descriptive of an exposition
Is the best possible advertisement and its
results are far-reachtng. The entire world
learns OF the exposition, and the attention
of the people generally is called to it,
In conversation with a reporter of The
Star today Gen. Madden said:
The whole subject is in embryo. NV at
tention has been called to the advisa biltty
OF issuing Buffalo series of stamps to
commemorate the exposition, and | can see
no objection at this time to it, provided
OF course, the cost is not too great The
omaha exposition had a series of nine
stamps, and | suppose the Buffalo directors
would want as many. l know there will
De objection from stamp collectors. but
that must be expected. The stamps will
