to Recovery.

New York, March 1O-Physician in
attendance upon Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation

The latest announcements from the

ing the day. Congestion of the kid
neys which followed his attack of
bronchial pneumonia, is slowly disap-
pearing and his pulse and temperature
are near normal.

Gomper's, although i'll since last Sat
urday, steadfastly refused to cancel
engagements in this city, and on last
Saturday night attended the Inner

political reporters. On Sunday he
spoke at the Elks Lodge.
A cold, which made his physicians
forbid him to come from Washington,

was forced 30 take to his bed.
Influenza and bronchial pneumonia
developed but Gompers refused to have
his illness known. His condition yes
terday was grave but when the bron-
chial pneumonia had been overcome,
he began to improve.
