AERIAL MEETING,
Dr Graham Bell Will Attend--Also
 Be Present at Funeral.

Halifax, N. S., Sept I9.-Dr Alex ander Graham Bell, who Is now on his way to Washington to attend an emergency meeting of the Aerial Ex- pertinent association Sunday, imme- diately on his arrival there, and also to attend the funeral of Lieuten- ant Selfridge. Dr Bell was seen Vt Truro. Yesterday the Savant felt the shock of Lieutenant Selfridge's death greatly and was so overcome he could hardly talk about 1t. Lieu tenant Selfridge's death will make no difference in the plans of the Aerial Experiment association, either at Hammondsport or Baddeck, he said. Flying machines numbers i've and six now being built on the Te- trahedral design at Baddeck will be tested the middle of October when, Dr Bell says, matters of great mos ment to those interested in aeronaut- ics will be developed.
 The Aerial Experiment association recently discussed the danger Of such an apparatus as that used by Wright on the machine that proved fatal to Lieutenant Selfridge, said Dr Bell, and had concluded that the duplicate shafts employed on 1t were wrong in principle, that two propeI- lers on the same shaft constituted the proper idea. Had the Wright machine had it's propellers on one shaft, the accident could not have happened. In case one of the pro- pellers broke the other would car- ry it forward at greatly reduced speed. With Wright the remaining propeller swerved the machine sud- denly round. Dr Bell paid 3 tribute to Lieutenant Selfridge's profound knowledge of aeronautics which he thought was more complete than that of any other man in America.
 F. W. Baldwin accompanied Dr Bell to Washington and both will return immediately to Cape Breton.

FIRE MARCHING ON.
Vast Forests of Maine Are Up in
 Smoke.

Augusta, Me, Sept 19.-The raging of vast sections of timberlands by forest fires continued without no- ticeable decrease to-day, either in the intensity or volume of the al- most a score of distinct fires which burned in as many sections of the state, throughout the night and during the forenoon It had been anticipated that light fall of rain, at least, would come before noon, but with the exceptions of a few clouds which, in most cases, were impossible to distinguish because of the dense pail of smoke, no signs of the slight relief expected had appeared within several hours of noon. It was estimated that up to to-day the damage by forest fires, in cluding the destruction to wild lands and in incorporated towns, az gregated more than $300,000.
 The ranks of the fire fighters have been changed often during the past three days and to-day many persons, aroused by the danger to their homesteads, gave up their usual em- ployment to join the fire fighting forces. In most places the work of subduing the flames had been or ganized so that the men were given opportunity to recover from the eff, fects of the dense smoke and intense heat. All last night the work was continued although with diminished numbers, the fires themselves serv- irr fn Goh hn who endeayored to quench them.
 The advent of northeast wind to-day was expected to cause fur ther spread of the fire, and in many cases, If carried far enough, the embers would alight on the outskirts of settlements and lay entire town. ships open to destruction. This sit. uation confronted the fire fighters in Hancock county, where there were half dozen blazes, each of which threatened a collection of habita- tions.
 Two of these fires, with the change of wind to the northeast burned in a direction from which sparks and embers were carried to. ward the villages of Surrey and Brooksville The advent of a sin, gle spark among the timber dried houses at either of these places might prove to be the beginning oi a blaze which would sweep through number of small villages.
 The prevailing wind currents wers adverse to the efforts of the fire fighters, and the situation was one of great danger.
 In the predicted showers for to- day lies the only relief possible foJ the situation. The hundreds of mer who have exerted almost every ounce of energy during the pas three days cannot last under tht strain much longer, and should the. cease their efforts at any time thu fires might communicate with eaef other, making a stretch of blazing woodland that would inclose hun dreds of homes.

GoMPERs AND DAVENPORT.
Former Told Latter Not to Shake His
 Finger at Him.

Washington, Sept l9.-The rele- vancy of questions asked President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor, concerning editorials In the September number of the Federation ist, will be passed upon by the dis- trict supreme court probably Monday, and pending that action. the proceed ings in the contempt case against ths federation officers were yesterday suddenly suspended.
 MT Gompers declined to answer the questions because the utterances attributed to him had been made since the contempt petition was filed. One of the questions asked by Daniel Davenport of Bridgeport, counsel for the Bucks Stove & Range Co Of St Louis, the complainants. was whether MT Gompers had caused to be publish ed communication printed in the September Federationist in which 1t was said Money makes the mare go, and money Is making this case go." MT Gompers made the voluntary statement that 1t was intended by this expression to say that the Bucks company pays the expenses of the suit, including MT Davenport's re- tainer.
 MT Davenport moved to strike out this reply as irrelevelant, but Comp pers said: You may strike 1t out If you wish, but 1t is still true" He declined to answer the question in definite terms. Another inquiry in re- gard to one of his editorials elicited the response that the matter was an editorial expression to which l had right under the guarantee of free speech and free press" He again declined to make response to the in- quiry in definite terms.
 II think l have sufficiently stated it." he said.
 Then you decline to answer?" said MT Davenport, shaking his finger at the witness.
 MT Gompers peremptorily ordered Mir Davenport not to again shake his finger at him.
 Much of yesterdays session was oc- cupied by MT Davenport in the pre- sentation of newspapers which he designated as labor organs. Many of these were printed after the issuance of MT Gould's writ of injunction and by the use of large type mingled with small they contrived to repeat the declaration that the Bucks company was unfair. Mir Gompers denied re- sponsibility for these expressions.
