MAIL IS REFUSED
NEW YORK AND lBROOKLYN OF-
 FICEs NOTIFIED.
Names of Fifty-twO Illegal Medical Practitioners Sent in and Postal
 Service ts Withdrawn
 from Their Use.

Washington, March 25.--Orders have been issued by the Postmaster-G General instrueting the postmasters at New York and Brooklyn to refuse to admit to the mails the advertisements of fifty two illegal medical offices" located in those cities. and also to refuse to de- liver mail matter received addressed to the lctitiSus and assumed names tn- der which parties conducting these con- cerns hide their identity.
 For some time past the Department has had inspectors working in New York gathering the necessary evidence 10 close the mails in these cases, and the officials of the department today expressed the belief that practically all of the criminal concerns of this character in these cities have been cov- cred.
 This action at New York and Brook lyn is in line with the efforts previously made by Postmaster-G r-General Cortelyou in Boston and Philadelphia to enforce the law against this class of criminal concerns.
 In Boston last March thirty of these concerns were barred from the malls and the Governments crusade in Phil closing thirteen establishments charged with being illegal medical offices" thus practically closing all such con cerns there. statement given out at the Postoffice Department today days:
 The condition of affairs which has developed under the departments in- vestigation in all of these cities has been appalling. 1t was found that in a large number of instances those en- gagged in conducting these offices have criminal records and are dope tiends. y In Boston one of the concerns excluded by the department from the mails was supposed to have the office at which was performed the fatal operation upon the young woman. Susan Geary, the suit case murder. One of the doctors" whom the department found identified with several other of these "offlces' in Boston was also connected with the Susan Geary case. The number Of deaths that have been caused in these offices can never be known.
 The volume of business done by these concerns are large. It was said that as high as twenty criminal opera tions a day were performed in some Of these offices and that the income some times ranged as high as s2.OOO a week."

TRACT SOCIETY MEETING.
Mir. Justice Brewer Presided At Enthu-

MT. Justice Brewer Presided At Enthu-
 siastfc Gathering of Workers.
 Washington, March 25.--The Wash ington meeting of the American Tract Society was held tonight in the Luther Place Memorial church. Justice Brew ar of the Supreme Court of the United States, honorary vice president, pre- sided. General O. o. Howard, presi- dent of the society. delivered the ad- dress and Rev. Judson Swift. field sec retary at New York, made report.
 General Howard 6welt upon the great and good work" accomplished by the Tract Society and told of what had been done for the army in the way of a generous distribution of tracts, booklets and volumes among the soldiers. He referred to those who at present are clamoring for the United States to give up the Philip pines and said, i've cannot do so rash a thing until we have accomplished for those Islands what providence had intended us to do. namely. Christianize them"
 This was both the opinion and mis- sion of our country and one of the most successful agents in this work was Christian literature.
 Secretary Swift stated that the an- nual report showed 104 publications added to the society's list during the year and the total number of lan- guages and dialects in which the so- ciety had published was now 163. He said the periodical circulation for the year was 2,S58,900 copies, making the grand total of volumes. periodicals and tracts since the organization of the so- ciety 754.s56,s46.
 The secretary's report declared that the question of the hour was the i'm. migrant problem upwards of 100000 immigrants having srrived In the Uni ted States during the year 1905.
 The most telling and permanent work among the immigrants, the report said, IS done by means of the society's Christian literature in the language or dialects which they speak, distri- buted by it's colporteurs, who meet them at Ellis Island and also visit them in their bames.
 The work in the island possessions, 1t was pointed out, is to a considerable extent derendent on the publications of the Tract Society. It has now over thirty distinct publications in the span ish language.
 In foreign lands the need of the hour. pointed out in the secretary" report, is Christian literature in the vernacular.
 There are over one million students of the schools of the east and many times that number have gone | into active life. The distinct publications at foreign mission stations has reached total of 5.243, and the total grants of cash and electrotypes amounst to ss13.- SAT. Not less than 31.000,000 is now required to furnished the literature needed"

authorities. who often were reaction ary. Doubtless it is true. they fre- auently abused the power conferred on them, but the government had no choice. The stories that from 70,000 to 100000 persons have been imprison- cd are exaggerated and I believe it might safely be affirmed that the mum Der will not exceed twenty thousand"
 And the Jews?"
 Recent developments have undoubt- edly prejudiced their position. The Emperor wanted to see justice done and the public sympathized with their demand for equality before the law; but. unhappiiy. the attitude of the Jews since the Emperors manifesto has alienated much of tho sympathy for them. It Is undeniable that they have been guilty of excesses everywhere, that they were on the firing line in thf revolution, and no longer contentea themselves by asking for equality with the Russians but insisted on the com pfete downfall of the Government. This result provoked a hostile sentiment among the Russian people,"

 "The report of what I said was writ ten by some stenographer who made evident his illiteracy by his effort to translate his stenographic notes into English. have counted in this stem ographic report perhaps fifty errors, some of which the grammatical, some typographical, and others errors of fact.
 "The association which I addressed was the Southern Ice Exchange. Every body talked about the desirability of building up the industries, the manufac- lures, tho enterprises and the business of the South, and Virginia, and prob ably what I meant by saying I rec ognize but two flags was one way of saying that my interest and my devo- tion. and my hopes were indissolubly associated with my State and the South.

At
 Algeciras. March. 25.-Both the Ger man and the French delegates to the conference on Moroccan reforms today assured the Associated Press that out look for an agreement was eminently hopeful but neither would make a more definate statement.
 The representatives of the neutral powers, however, asserted that the principal work of the conference had been virtually concluded and that a settlement was imminent but said there might possibly be minor hitches in conneetioF kgstir the details owing e the necessity 10 minutely lay down the terms in order to avoid future con- troversy, thus prolonging the opera ton of the singing of the protocol another fortnight.
 The delegate of a prominent neutral power in outlining the procedure for tomorrows sitting of the conference said that an agreement had practically been attained before hand and that the American proposition relative to & police force was destined to serve as the final arrangement, 1t being intro duced by the Russians in the form of an almendment to the Austrian scheme. The ports to which 1t would be applied, he said. had not been fixed but he believed they would be Tangier and Cascablanca. MT White, the head of the American delegation, he said. from the first did not intend to pre- sent the American proposal to the con ference, his desire being 10 provide a fesible exit from the deadlock but having pointed to the way out of this MT. White left 1t to the delegates to utilize or disregard the American scheme, according to the necessities of the case The extent of the powers of the inspectors, he said. was the only point likely to create friction but he hoped this matter could be arranged. Control of the customs by France and the division of the capital of the State bank also remain to be settled but in the event that the other points are satisfactorily arranged be thought an accord was inevitable.
