the State Medical Society have appointed commit
tees to confer on the question OF a union of the
medical profession Of this State. The names OF the

ganizations.
Those who have been asked to discuss the sub
ject Of uniting the leading medical organizations
OF the State are: For the State Medical Associa-
tion-Drs. f. Eliot Harris. Frederick HoIme Veg
gin, William II. Biggam. Of Brooklyn, Emil Mayer
and Parker Syms president Of the New-York
County Medical Association. For the State Medical
Society-Drs. Abraham jacob A. NJ. Phelps Edgar

parts of the Medical Society of the State of New

created by act Of Legislature in 1906. In 1882 the

WHAT BoER DELEGATES HOPE TO DO.

Paris. Feb 1T.-Dr. Leyds the European
agent Of the Beers. who is now in this city.
was asked by The Associated Press correspond
ent to-day regarding the object OF the mission
10 the United States OF the Boer delegates
Messrs Vessels and Wolmarans (who sailed
for New-York from Boulogne- -sur-Mer on Feb
ruary H. on board the Holland-Amertca Line
steamer Rotterdam. He replied that they we're
merely going 10 America in response to invita-
tions from American pro-Boers, with the view
OF reaching an arrangement for the distribu-
tion OF funds and other assistance contributed
by the people Of the United States toward the
Boer cause.
In other quarters however, the impression
obtains that the journey is prompted, as sug-
gested to-day by the Amsterdam correspondent
Of The London Daily Mail,' by the develop
ments OF the Anglo-German controversy as 10
the attitude OF the powers previous 10 the
Spanish-American War. The Beers hope 10

endeavor to get the United States Government
TO modify it's attitude toward mediation.
