THE HARRINGTON PUBLISHING co
PosrMAsrERs, ASSOCIATION.
Aot,on Favorlng Plan of A..,...ut
 Pos,master Howard.

Boston, Aug. 6.-The most important feature of to-day's session of the Ma tional Postmasters' association, other than the election of officers, was the discussion and passage of a resolution to ask congress and the postofice au- thorities to adopt a system, originated by Assistant Postmaster Hubbard of Chicago by which stamp certificates may be issued for carrying on the now extensive mail order business in this country.
 Many firms receive thousands of dol- lars worth of stamps a day in exchange for goods. These cannot be resold to the government, so are sold to the pub lie at discount. A market is thereby opened by which persons who come in to possession of stamps nlegitimately may dispose of them almost without oc- .casioning comment.
 Postmaster Hubbard estimated that at least $2,0O0.0OO were thus sold in this city alone. Mail matter which had to be handled in the office constantly in- creased and not so the sale of stamps through the windows.
 Postmaster Hubbard's system pro- yides for the issuance by the third as- sistant postmaster general of certifi- cates for stamps of denomination from two to fifty cents, which would make up all combinations under one dollar.
 Received by stamp p-order houses from customers, these certificates could be sorted and exchanged at the postoffices for stamps if desired; otherwise for cash at discount of one per cent.
 Among other topics discussed was the reclassification of clerks in second -class postoffices and the question of raising the present salaries of clerks
 It was voted to hold the 1904 conven- ton in Atlantic City, N. J.
 During the afternoon the following telegram was received from Oyster Bay:
 -Four telegram has been received and the president thanks the National Asso- citation of Postmasters for their kind greeting, which he greatly appreciates.
 (Signed) AB. F. Barnes,
 Acting Secretary"
 By vote of the convention an extra session was held this evening, when the delegates were addressed by Third As sistant Postmaster General Edward C.. Madden and Auditor Henry A Castle, of the postoff1ce department. Several committee reports were also received.

Aneged-nlany Men Idle
 Pittsburg. Aug. 6.--The Gazette to- morrow will say: Discrimination against Pittsburg is 2 reason given by "a number of coal companies and indus trial concerns for the alarming short age. of cars. This is held responsible for the enforced idleness of over twelve. thousand men employed by one com pany alone.
 The Baltimore and Ohio seems to be. the principal offender, while the Penn. sylvania lines west, through the south west, or the Pan Handle, are using most of their surplus coal cars in the West Virginia district and along the Norfolk and Western. The conditions in the Pittsburg district are worse than at any time last year, and it is prophe- sled that the shortage of cars of all kinds and the congestion of freight will be So aggravated that months of hard work will not relieve the situation.
 An official of the Pittsburs Coal com 4pany, the largest soft-coal shipper in this district, said that two-thirds of their mines on the Baltimore and Ohio and the Pan Handle are idle, throwing over twelve thousand men out of work"

WESTERN GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP.
The Two Egau., R. II. Russell and Eddie Brown in ihs Running.

Cleveland, Aug. 6.-The fourth round of the Western Amateur golf champions, ship is over and three cities are repre- scented in the four survivors that will plan in the semi-finals tomorrow. H. Chandler Egan of Exmoor, Chicago, his cousin, Walter Egan of the same club; R. H. Russell of Detroit. and Eddie Brown of Cleveland. are the men who will battle in the semi-finals. Each of these men won his match handily this morning. Chandler Egan had a very easy proposition in Eweedie of Chicago.
 The afternoons play under a blue sky brought out a big gallery. Western Champion Chandler Egan played E. w. Byers of Alleghany, in the finest match the tournament has yet seen. Chandler Esan has had hard matches all week, but to-day he had to fight his very best to win. Every hole was hotly contest ed and in the first round they were even up with medal score of S7 piece. The tenth, eleventh and twelfth holes were halved, but Egan won the thirteenth hole; the fourteenth was halved and Egan won the fifteenth by one stroke. On the sixteenth hole Byers over putted land Egan won the hole, giving him up. Tie seventeenth hole was halved and the big gallery came up to the eigh- teenth to see if Egan could hold his own. He had only to have it to win the match, but a bad shot to the bunker seemed to put him out. He got out nice- ly, however, while Byers over approach ed and lost his match. Egan plays in the semi-anals tomorrow with k. H. Russell of Detroit, woh easily beat pr. Fredericks of Oil City.
 The biggest surprise of the day came when National Champion Louis James met defeat at the hands of D. Brown, of Cleveland. James played miserable golf all through the contest. being sadly off in his putting. This brings Brown against Walter Egan in the semi-finals. as Egan easily beat J. Sellers, of Chi cago, this afternoon. Chandler Egan is now picked to win the championship, as he is playing the finest game of the four who are left. The noring scores were:
 Chandler Egan, Chicago, beat H. Tweedie, Chicago, [ up and S to go.
 Walter Egan, Chicago, beat w. Car hart. Detroit. 5 up and I to play.
 F. Byers, Allegheny beat J. o. Towne, Chicago, 6 up and to play.

INCREASE OF LYNcHINGs
DepIored at Mass 1Iesting of CoIored
 ciilzens in New York.

New York, Aug. 6.-Resolutions de- ploring the increase of lynchings throughout the country and the exist ence of peonage in the south and calling upon President Roosevelt to influence congress to remedy these evils were adopted at mass meeting of colored citizens held under the direction of the Cblored Literary league of Greater New York tonight. The resolutions signed by the members of the league and oth- CTS will be forwarded to the president.
 After endorsing the administration of President Roosevelt the resolutions con- tinue:
 Believing as we do that the time has come when something should be done for the protection of our American citi- zens from the atCocious evils of mob rule, disfranchisement and peonage which was born in the south and was inflicted upon negroes only but is now becoming epidemic, showing it's deform- ed face beyond the Mason and Dixon line, disseminating it's contagion among American citizens, white and black, men and women.
 .Therefore the subscribers, together with a large number of our common people Of Greater New York. in mass meeting assembled do petition the presi- dent of the United States, that he may use lis official influence with the con- gress of the United States to execute so much of the supreme law as it may find necessary to eradicate our national evil and to ameliorate race prejudice or to enact such further laws as may have the effect of bringing about better state of affairs in our civic life.'
 Among the speakers at the meeting were George A. Allen president of the league; James H. Hayes, of Richmond, Va, Rev. w. H. Brooks, of New York, and Rev. Granville Hunt, of Mount Vernon, N. Y.
 The tenor of their addresses was to the effect that the prosecutions of the negro race had reached a point which was anbearable, and that some remedy must be applied soon. President Roose- velt's action was unanimously praised, but Lawyer Hayes seemed to strike the keynote of the meeting when he de- clared that, to make himself felt and to get his wrongs redressed, the negro must use his vote rightly in the north-' ern states, where, he said, colored votes represent the balance of, power for which politicians are seeking, and show the two great parties that their vote is worth something and that they deserve equal treatment with every other citf- zen accordingly.
 Speaking of the disfranehisement of negroes in the south, he said that if this deprivation goes on conditions in Virginia will be repeated in New York. 7

MACEDONIAN AFFAIR.
Mall Adyices Indion,e Revolution Was tn Dead Earnest.

London, Aug. 1.-The London papers print mail letters descriptive of the Macedonian revolution dated the latter part of July which indicate that the committee was vigorously preparing for an uprising at the close of the harvest, The members of the committee, accord- ing to these advices. have been vainly hoping for an outbreak of war between Bulgaria and Turkey. or some other sensational occurrence. such as 9 mas sacre of Christians. to give them an opening, but nothing has happened and although the situation is critical 1t is just possible that the committee may still further postpone the date of the outbreak.
 Meanwhile the Turks are more ready for war than ever to strangle any rising at its girth. The imperial troops, poorly paid and poorly fed, exasperated by the prolongation of the crisis, and the neces- sity of incessant duty night and day, owing to the threats of the Turkish pop ulation to tpillage Bulgarian houses and murder their occupants as revenge for the depredations of rowing Bulgarian bands are proving upon the peasanttry and would indulge in barbarities upon the slightest pretext.
 According to these mail advices de- spite the combustible appearance of the situation it is declared that unani-s nous instruction of the Macedonian people is quite impossible as the Turks have the advantage in numbers and arms over the Bulgarian bands and any attempt at such an insurrection would merely be the signal for the massacre of innocent peasantry.
 The Times Sofia correspondent says that the Bulgarian government is de-. termined to maintain loyal attitude toward Turkey by preventing anmuni- tion for the insurgents from passing across the Bulgarian frontier into Macedonia.

WATERLOO FOR OLD BOAT.
CHALLENGER THOROUGHLY
 TANOUISHES SHAMROCK l.

Leads Her by Twenty-Five and . Half Minutes in n Twenty Mile Race Which Occupies but . LittIe More Than Three Hours-No shift of Wind or Calm Helped or Hindered Either Boat. Atlantic Highlands. N J., Aug. G. Twenty-two and half minutes in a twenty mile race which occupied little more than three hours in the sailing was the beating administered to sham rock by Sir Thomas Lipton's new cup candidate to-day. No shift of wind nor calm helped or hindered either boat. The challenger's victory was without a flaw. -.
 An overcast sky with threat of rain induced MT. Fife to limit the course to twenty miles, a beat of ten miles south, southeast from Scotland light ship and return. To avoid another blanketing by the challenger Shamrock I feigned a start. Running to the starting line, she shaped a course alongside the new boat as the latter crossed the line. A mo- ment later she put about, returned to the line and made new start. The. starting time of two minutes had elapsed before she got away and she. was handicapped eight seconds. Sham. rocl. III led by one minute and 42 sec onds when they reached the beat out to the mark.
 The boats went off on different tacks, but Shamrock II soon tackled and both headed eastward. The challenger quick ly demonstrated that it was the kind of weathe. in which she was at her best The old boat hardly gave her a race. After that the only question was as to .he nrmber Of minutes. At 12:25 the. challenger crossed the bow of the old timer hals mile to windward of her and after short tacks turned the mark half an hour later with a lead of 195 minutes A seconds. On the way back both yachts carried spinnakers part way. when the wind hauling, they smothered them and ran under balloon jib topsails. Shamrock III gained stead .ly. added 4 minutes 2S seconds to her advantage and when she finished the old boat was more than two miles away. Summary: K X
