GOMPERS TOLDTOWAIT.
President Thinks Conclusions Have
Been Reached Too Hastily.

Oyster Bay, July 13.-Immigration to
the United States and its relation TO the
labor problem formed the subject of
conference between the president and
two important leaders of organized lab
or, Samuel Gompers, of Washington,
and James Duncan, of Quincy, Mass,
respectively the president and one of
the vice-presidents of the federation of
labor.
The conference was devoted particu-
larly to a consideration of orders re-
Gently issued by the president regarding
the enforcement of the Chinese exclu-
sion law. An impression had been gained
by many members of labor organiza-
tions that the order to an extent at
least, let down immigration bars so far
as Chinese are concerned. The presi-
dent assured his callers, however, that
no such construction could properly be
placed on the order and that he was
just as vigorously opposed to the adnis-
sion to this country of Chinese coolies
as they could be. GomperS urged upon
the president the deSirability of an in
telligent, practical and humane con-
sideration of the general question of
immigration by the people and by con-
gress. The people of the country and of
the whole civilized world are entitled, he
maintained, to such a consideration of
the problem.
I'VE directed the presidents atten-
tion,'' said Mr.. Gompers after the con-
ference, "to the Interpretation by some
persons, of his recent order issued at
the instance of the American Asiatic
association, concerning the admission to
the United States of Chinese. BY many
of our people and by many Chinese that
order was looked upon as a letting down
of the immigration bars so far as the
Chinese are concerned. The president
assured us that no proper reading of the
order would warrant such an interpre-
tation, and that nothing was further
from his intention than that such an
impression should be gotten from the
order His determination is that both
skilled and unskilled Chinese Iaborers
shall be excluded from the United
| States and he says the law will be rig
| idly enforced.
Only Exempt Classes.
| His order related only to the so called
| exempt classes, merchants, students

DEPEW EXPLAINS.
How $3.50, 900 Was Borrowed on Prop
erty Worth But $15O,OOO.

New York, July Ex-senator
Chauncey M. Depew has made state
ment to the Paris correspondent of
the New York Tribune regarding the
loan of $3.50, 900 made by the Equitable
society to the Depew Land Improve
ment company on property alleged to
be worth only s150.O0o in which he
says he had never advocated or rec
commended any such transaction, be-
cause he was a director of the Equit-
able.
Senator Depew further says:
1.-THE loan never could have been
made unless the official appraiser of
the Equitable had reported after ex-
animation that $25o,000 was only 50
per cent of the property's value, such
being the rule of the society, and that
on such a report the officers unani-
mously approved it"

PEARY IS READY.
VIII Sail This Week in Search OF the
North Pole.

New York, July 13.-With $4,000
subscribed toward his expedition to
reach the north pole, Robert E. Peary
announces that he will sail this week
for the north Commander Peary's
new arctic ship, the Roosevelt, has
been waiting several days for supplies,
which could not be bought on account
of lack of funds.
The polar expedition which has been
in preparation since october 19oz mas
cost S150,O00. The entire amount has
been given by American business men
to the Peary Arctic club, whose mem
bers are anxious that none but Amer
leans have hand in this polar expedi-
ton.
Morris K. Jesup, president of the
club, subscribed $4,000, and Thomas
H. Hubbard gave check for S1O,o00.
Mr.. Hubbard also offered to join with
any other believer" in the north pole
expedition in putting $4,000 into
fund to be divided among the members
of the Peary party in case they sue
ceeded in reaching the pole ana re-
turning to New York within eighteen
months after their departure from
here.
In announcing that his ship is at last
ready Peary made public for the first
time a donation of $50,000 given oy
George Crocker in January last.
The $4,000 just received will be ex-
pended, Mr.. Peary said, for hand
picked coal and additional scientific
instruments. His party is complete
with the exception of a surgeon.
Mrs. Peary will probably sail with
the expedition.
From here the Roosevelt will pro-
ceed to Sydney Cape Breton, where the
| New York crew will give up the ship
to a picked crew which is already
waiting on the Erik, coal ship Whfch
will accompany the Roosevelt to lati-
tude 79 The Erik will then return
south bringing Mrs. Peary with her.

He TALKS TO DOCTORS.
President Roosevelt Addresses a So
ciety of Physicians.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 13.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt delivered a notable ad-
dress before the Associated Physicians
of Long Island. He discussed, in the
course of his speech, the relations
physicians sustain to the people of the
communities in which they reside, and
the work to be done by the medical
experts in connection with the con-
struction of the Panama canal, de-
claring that, despite all difficulties on
the isthmus and here in the United
States, the canal would be a success.
He referred to achievements of the
sanitary engineers who cleaned the
cities of Cuba for the first time in 400
years, and closed by paying a tribute
to the services of General Leonard
ficer, he said, was fouted by some
critics because he once had been a
doctor.
Attfred in a suit of rough linen, and
wearing a broad brimmed panama hat,
the president arrived at the Oyster
Bay high school, where the meeting
was held AS he alighted from his
carriage he was greeted by DR.. H.
Beekmar Delatour Of Brooklyn, and
DIR. Fowler of Oyster Bay, members of
the entertainment committee. He was
escorted by them to the assembly hall,
where he was accorded a cordial re-
ception by the physicians, all standing.
At the conclusion of the president s
suggestion, an informal reception was
held, each member of the association
being presented to the president. After
the president had retired from the
hall, the association unanimously
elected him and General Leonard
Wood honorary members of the So
ciety.
The Presidents Address.
The presidents address follows:
':Mr. President, Members of the As
sociation, Friends and Neighbors-The
scientific man who is really first class
scientific man has a claim upon the
gratitude of all the country.
1.-The man who is the first class
neighbor and is always called in in
time of trouble by his neighbors has
an equal claim upon society at large.
But the doctor has both claims. Yet
in addition to filling both of these
| functions he may fill many other func-
tions. He may have served in the
civil war, he may have rendered the
greatest possible service to the COM
munity along a dozen different lines

done in one of the great works of this

MR.. HURLEY ENTERS DENIAL.
Didn't Try to Have DevIin Coal Prop
critics Transferred to Santa Fe.

General Manager James z. Hurley
of the Santa Fe. who has recently re-
turned from his trip to Ell Paso, is
very emphatic in his statement that he
has not been trying. on behalf of the
Santa Fe, to have the leases on Santa
Fe coal land transferred from Mr..
Devlin to the Santa Fe. This rumor
was current at the time Mr.. Devlin
left Topeka, but it assumed more i'm
portance when it was announced that
Mr.. Hurley would be one of the re-
ceivers for the Devlin estate.
This report" said Mr.. Hurley to-
day, 'tis absolutely incorrect and some
what sensational, and I wish to deny
it absolutely.'

washington. July 13.-Railroad
Journals received at the library of con-
gress are taking a more or less lively
interest in a report that the j. Addison
GAYLORD company, wealthy financial
house of Wall street, is behind a move
ment to build a new transcOntinentaI
railroad, to be known as the Virginia.
Missouri &. Western. its eastern ter
minus to be at or near Norfolk. The
report goes that King Leopold of the
BeIgians, is one of the hackers of the
Henry Brown, one of the wealthiest of
the Pittsburg capitalists. The report
might have been treated as a fanciful
ernanation from some visionary brain
out by the president of the Gaylord
company with reference to it. He is
N. n. Mershen, and he writes to the
railroad papers, stating that the pub
Ication of the story is premature"
He did not deny that there is some
thing in it, but simply writes that it is
premature" thus leaving the impress
sion that there is at least some founda-
ton for the press notices relative to
it. Neither does he deny that Leopold
is behind it, which may be taken as
more or less significant.
King Leopold of Belgium is said to
be one of the richest men in the world.
Though king of one of the smallest
countries on the map, he is reputed to
be a modern Midas. He is known to
have put good money into great
many enterprises on this side of the
water, as well as in some other parts
of the world. He is reDuted to have
made millions out OF the diamond
mines of South Africa. In 1875 he
organized the African International as
sociation, the aim of which was to
utilize African discoveries. AS Isabella
made possible the discovery of America
by Columbus, SO Leopold made pos
sible the explorations of Africa by
Henry NJ. Stanley. In consideration of
these things he was given sovereignty
over the Congo state by the Berlin
conference of 1885. American railroad
enterprises are said to represent the
bulk of his holdings in America.

Shawnee, Okla, July 13.-Duties of
the Shawnee store department of the

New Lines on the union Pacific.

Chicago, July 13.-Julius Krutt-
schnitt, director of maintenance and
operation of the Hartman system,
says: ''The Union Pacific and South
ern Pacific roads will build a number
of short lines from points where they
seem feasible and paying. We are
engaged in surveying and looking over
a number of proposed extensions in
the west, but have definitely decided
on but very few as yet. The Union
Pacific may use the Burlington stub
from Hastings, Neb., to Kearney,
Neb., in connection with the new line
from Kansas City which is being built.
However, that point is not settled,
and the Union Pacific may use the
tracks of the st. Joseph & Grand
Island from Hastings to Grand Island
to connect with the main line instead
of using the Burlington to Kearney."'
