Washington Affected.

Washington, Dec. 13.-The death of Samuel Gompers, after his condi- ton had shown improvement, came as an almost unbearable shock to his subordinates and associates here fin the American Federation Of Labor.
 Miss R. Lee Guard, MT. Gompers' secretary for 25 years, had been on watch In his Washington offices for several days but she had been confi- dent Of the outcome of his fight for life. The first report of the death of the labor leader came to her from the Associated Press, but she was called shortly afterward from San Antonio by long distance telephone and the news repeated by members of the Gompers party. who were on the spot.
 A false report of Mir. Gompors death, which was circulated widely and published in some newspapers on Thursday had started a flood of messages of condo1ence coming into the federation offices. Today their numbers were multiplied many times augmented by cablegrams from not able figures abroad, with whom his Hong activity in international affairs had made him acquainted.
 No predictions as to who might he chosen as Mir. Gompers' successor were made at the foderation's offices today. Virtually every leader Of the organization who can speak with authority on the subject is in the party at San Antonio. Members Of
