SMALL CONFERS
 WITH GOMPERS Secrecy Surrounds Visit of President of American Federation to New
 York.
 - T EET,gI DISCUSS AID
 TO STRIKERS Believes that Labor Commits sioner Neill Will Meet Photographers Off,
 cials To-day.

washington, Sept 9.-President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor left here to-day for New York to confer with President Small of the Photographers union, concerning a proposition to settle the strike. Off, cials of the Telegrapher's union here to-day sent to President Small the fol- lowing telegram:
 Samuel Gompers requests you to meet him at Pennsylvania station, 2Srd street, New York, at 6:30 this evening, and to bring Organizer Her man Robinson with you
 "Mr. Gompers will have a proposi- tion to make to you and we urge that you give 1t most serious consideration and, if possible, bring the strike to an honorable termination"
 The nature of the proposition which President Gompers has to make, is not known.
 Dr. Charles P. Neill, commissioner of labor, will leave tonight for New York. He expects to go to Oyster Bay tomorrow morning on some business with President Roosevelt, the nature of which is not disclosed except that 1t has nothing to do with the strike of the telegraphers.
 It is likely that on his return to New York from Oyster Bay Commits sioner Neill may have @ conference with the officials of the telegraphers.
 New York, Sept. 9.-President Sam uel Gompers of the American Fedora ton of Labor Is in New York tonight but repeated efforts have failed to locate him. He was met by several officers of the Telegrapher's union and held a conference with them, after which he evaded the newspaper re- porters and has not yet been found. Deputy President Thomas of the Photographers union, who was one of those who met MT Gompers, stated that the visit had nothing to do with the settlement of the telegraphers strike, but was solely for the purpose of discussing what aid the American Federation of Labor should give the striking telegraphers.

Rescues Unconscious Man From
Death Under Passing Train.

Chicago. Aug. Charles w.
Ely, Of Lenox, Ia. was rescued from
death under the wheels OF swift
passenger train after he had been
sand-bagged. robbed and then thrown
from the Van Buren, street viaduct TO
the railroad tracks below.
When Policeman Sullivan passed
over the Van Buren, street vladuct he
glanced toward the union depot. and
as his eye swept the network of
tracks he saw the body lying across
a track used by one of the big limited
trains, about due to leave the depot
Horrihed, the policeman started
down the viaduct to reach the tracks
below At the same instant he heard
the whistle OF the train as it started
from the depot Throwing aside his
coat the officer ran down the incline
and began the race against death.
He scaled high stone wall and
jumped to the tracks The next in
slant he was confronted by a long
line OF freight cars. Risking his life.
the law enforcer crawled under the
cars. He tore his trousers and
bruised his leg. Blood began to drip
from the wound, but he dashed along
the tracks toward the unconscious
man.
The train Numbered down the rails
and just as Sullivan dragged Ely's
body from the rails II passed under
the viadact Ely was carried to the
county hospital, where II was found

DUN'S REVIEW.

New York, Aug. 24.-R. G. Dun &
Company's weekly review of trade to-
morrow will say:
Bank clearings maintain steady
volume. denoting normal settlements
through the banks, total exchanges
this week at all the leading cities in
the United States, outside of New
York, being $SO1,S37.47S, an in
crease of 73 per cent over last year,
and 22.1 per cent over the corre-
spending week OF 1905. There is a
large loss at New York city. due en-
tirely to the fact that unusual specu-
lative activity prevailed nsthe Wall
street markets year ago. and the
trifling loss at Boston and Philadel-
phia is also a reflection of this. Other
wise, there is generally consider
able increase notably still in the west.
The volume of business in August is
usually the low water mark for the
year, as will be seen in the figures
of this year and 19O5-speculative
activity a year ago reversed this
condition-and compared with 1905,
the August settlement is quite as sat
isfactory as the preceding months.

Louisville Tobacco.

The louisville Tobacco Warehouse
company issued the following report
of the leaf tobacco market yesterday
afternoon:
The sales on our market for one
week, including today, amounted to
2,421 hogsheads. divided as follows:
Burley. SAL: dark, l,574.
Burley-The market this week has
shown improved activity over last
week. and while there has been no
quotable advance in prices, yet
rather stronger feeling is apparent.
Dark-The market this week has
not recovered from the slight decline
in values. for the common and me-
dunn grades of unfired Tugs which we
reported last week, and prices for
fired Tugs in the past few days have
been somewhat easier There is no
change to report in the condition of
the market for leaf, either of the
fired or unfired types. The stock of
dark tobacco. both leaf and Tugs, is
unusually small for the time of year,
and holders have no disposition to
meet any decline in values. but to
the contrary feel that the relations of
supply and demand promise a still
further improvement in prices.

The whole country prays for the
speedy recovery of Secretary OF
State Elihu Root. A man, not
wealthy, judged by modern stand
ards, capable of earning $4,000 a
year practising law, has given the
best years of his matured life to the
service of his country for $4,000 a
year. He has strengthened us in our
foreign relations, and his services in
bringing about closer relations with
our sister republics to the south is
especially notable. He has been the
right arm of two administrations. He
is not a man gifted as politician.
He has simply brought the ripened
experience of great mind to bear
on public questions, and much OF the
policy of the two administrations,
with which he has been associated,
has been Roots own policy. He has
worked hard and faithfully. He has
met and overcome some trying situa-
tions. Should the breakdown of his
health prevent bis further participa-
ton in public affairs, we know not
who can fill his place.
