ACTION OF POSTMASTERS
HUBBARD'S "STAMPS CERTIFICATE'
SYSTEM ADVOCATED.
Congress Asked to Authorize Their
Issue-Scheme That Will Benefit
Business Interests.

BOSTON, Aug. 6.-The most important
feature of to-day's session of the National
Postmasters' Association, other than the
election of officers. was the discussion and
passage of a resolution to ask Congress
and the postofffce authorities 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 thou
sands of dollars worth of stamps a. day
in exchange for goods These cannot be
resold to the government, are sold to the
public at a discount. A market is thereby
opened by which persons who come into
possession of stamps illegitimately may dis
pose Of them almost without occasioning
comment. Postmaster Hubbard estimated
that at least 100000 worth were sold in
his city alone. Mail matters which had to
be handled in the Office constantly in
creased and not so the sale or stamps
through the window.
Postmaster Hubbard's system provides
for the issues by the third assistant post
master general OF the certificates for stamps
of denomination from to 50 cents. which
would make up all combinations under one
dollar. Received by stamp order houses
from customers these certificates could be
sorted and exchanged at the postoffice for
stamps If desired; otherwise for cash at a
discount of per cent.
1t was voted to hold the 1904 convention
in Atlantic City, N. j. During the after
noon the following telegram was received
from Oyster Bay. saying: your telegram
has been received, and the President
thanked the National Association Of Post
masters for their kind greeting, which he
greatly appreciated"

Kurdish chief, Moussa Bey, who re-
sponsible for many of the Armenian out
