That was all, but never before have so few words conveyed to a people a greater mean- ing or a greater patriotic satisfaction. Five days ago, on September 1, Dr. Cook sent out from the Shetland Is- lands the first message of his success —a message which has aroused a riage to George Miller, who preceded ber to the grave eighteen years ago.

The World Breathiessly Awaits Further Details. FOUND NO TRAGE OF DR. COOK Two American Flags Now Float- ing in Arctic Ice Packs. St. Johns, N. F., Sept. 7. — Com- mander Robert E. Peary, who an- nounced that he had discovered the North Pole on April 6 of the present year, found no trace of Dr. Frederick A. Cook, of Brooklyn, who reported to the world five days ago that he had made the same discovery in April of the preceding year. This news reach- ed here through Captain Robert Bart- lett, of the Roosevelt, Peary's ship, enroute to Chateau bay, Labrador. Captain Bartlett telegraphed to rela- tives here that Peary had found noth- ing to indicate that Dr. Cook had reached the pole. While Peary does not expressly repudiate Dr. Cook's contention in so many words, his state- ment may have an important bearing upon determining the extent of Cook's explorations. The Roosevelt was in good condition and the crew all right, wired Captain Bartlett in addition, and he reported that the schooner Jeanie, carrying supplies for the expedition, had met them off the coast of Greenland. Coming south, the Roosevelt passed Etah and Upernavik, Greenland, where Dr. Cook had preceded Peary. storm of controversy around the world. On Monday Robert E. Peary, lost from view in the land of ice and unheard from since August, 1908, startled the world by a similar mes- sage sent from Indian Harbor, Labra- dor. There was no qualification; it left no doubt. It announced unequivo. cally that he had reached the top of the world. Thus two flags with the Stars and Stripes of the United States are floating in the ice packs, proving | the courage of intrepid Americans. With but a word from Peary the world waits breathlessly for details, but until he arrives at Chateau Bay, Labrador, waiting must suffice. The first word of Peary’'s success reached New York. It contained the bare announcement of his finding the pele. Almost simultaneously he had transmitted the news to London, re- peating dramafically and simply “Stars and Stripes nailed to the North Pole.” At the same time he similarly advised the governor of New Found- land. Both the old and the new worlds were thus apprised of his great achiev- ement practically at the same mo- ment and the excitement which fol- lowed attests to the high pitch of in- terest aroused over this climax of man's perseverance. Like Dr. Cook's first message, Peary's was tantalizing in its brief- ness, and the waiting public, stimu- lated by Cook's success, was left un- satiated. For, as did Dr. Cook, Peary resumed his homeward voyage imme- diately after filing the curt news of discovery. “Pole Reached—Roosevelt Safe.” A few words were added to this meager information when there was made public this additional informa- tion sent to Herbert L. Bridgman, of Brooklyn, secretary of the Peary Arctic club: “Pole reached. Roosevelt safe. (Signed) “PEARY.” This gave assurance that the vessel in which Peary departed had passed through the ice unscathed, but details of his home coming and the date of the discovery were still lacking. It Says Peary's Reports Wil Confirm His. TOOK DIFFERENT ROUTES Should Furnish Large Additions to Scisntific Knowledge. C¢penhagen, Sept. 7.—Copenhagen was electrified by the report of Com- mander Peary’s announcement that he had reached the North Pole. Dr. Cook was immensely interested and said: “That is good news. I hope Peary did get to the pole. His observations and reports on that region will confirm mine.” Asked if there was any probability of Peary’'s having found the tube con- taining his records, Dr. Cook replied: “I hopt so, but that is doubtful on ac- count of the drift.” Dr. Cook told the correspondent that he had seen nothing of the expe- dition of Commander Peary. Dr. Cook then described his jour ney. Regarding his discovery he said: “Then came April 21. That was the great day. We looked for the sun. As soon as we got it I made several ob- servations. Great joy came over us. We were only sixteen miles from the desired spot. 1 said to mvself, bully for Frederick, then we went on. “The last stretch was the easiest I ever made in my life, although I had still tc make two observations and the ice was very broken here. My Ohio. She aleo leaves one brother, Moses Clark, of Tusseyville. The funeral was beid yesterday morning, burial being made in the Tusseyvil'e cemetery. The nine cars making the t1ip were as fol- lows: E M-F, Robert Hunter, pilot ; Chalmers-Detroit, John Porter Lyon ; Franklin, George A. Beezer ; Oldsmobile, Huogh N. Crider ; Fraoklins, Jobo P. Sebring and Dr. David Dale ; Fords, W. A. Moore and F. E. Naginey ; Thomas- Forty, Don 8. Potter. The party lels Bellefonte about 10:30 o'clock and made the run to Lewiston for dinner. From there they went to Huntingdon where sev- eral hours were spent taking in the Old Home week dieplay. The party took sup- per at Alexandria and arrived home at any- where from ten o'clock at bight on, with the exception of Dr. Dale, who made the run without any stops ol consequence and was home in time for supper, even though he did not etart until 12:30 o'clock. The only men who encountered any trouble on the trip was Hugh N. Crider, who had six blow-outs, and Robert F. Hanter, who ran into a cow up at Penn” sylvania Farnace, knocking one of his lamps out of shape and bending his fender. But the cow was damaged beyond repair as one of the animal’s hind legs was broken in two places and it bad to be shot. Mr. Hunter naturally claims that the accident was no fault of his. It was after dark and was not until the New York Times had received a dispatch later that these vital points were cleared up. The mes- sage said: “I have the pole April 6. Expect ar rive Chateau bay Sept. 7.” With this information at hand it was a comparatively simple matter to as- certain that the April 6 referred to was April 6 of the present year, as his expedition did not start from New York until July 7, 1908. April 6, 1909—the date that Peary planted the flag at the pole—and April 21, 1908, the day that Dr. Cook unfurled the Stars and Stripes a year before, consequently become the car- dinal dates upon which exploration of the far north will rest hereafter. Though separated by nearly a year, the same feat was accomplished by two Americans, neither of whom was aware of the movements of the other. Cook says that he found no traces of Peary in the moving ice, and accord- ing to word which was received here through Captain Robert Bartlett, of Peary's ship, the Roosevelt, Peary like wise found no signs of his reputed predecessor. However, this phase of Peary's experiences will not be thor- oughly cleared up until a statement is obtained from his own lips. issers only.

Am well; love. Will wire again from Cha- teau.” The message is signed simply “Bert,” an abbreviation of Robert, Commander Peary’s first name. Mrs. Peary sent a wife's character- istic reply, with love and a blessing and a request for him to “hurry tics who disbelieve my story go to the North Pole. There they will find a small brass tube which I buried un- der the flag. That tube contains a short statement about my trip. I could not leave my visiting card be- cause I did not happen to have one with me. Describing the return journey, Dr. Cook said: “Fortune now smiled.

In addition to his parents he is survived by five brothers and two sisters. The funeral was held or Wednesday of last week, interment being made in the North Pole.” From out the Arctic darkness there was flashed this message which stun- ned the scientific world and thrilled the heart of every layman. From the bleak coast of Labrador Peary gave tc the world the news that he had at- tained his goal in the far north, wl.le Bellefonte will be waited upon by the com- rades of the Army and a generous response is earnestly solicited.

Then I felt the ice moving eastward, carrying us with it. A terrible fog swept round us and kept us for three weeks. We got no further than the 84th degree. Then began a heavy walk towards Hei. berg’s Land and another three weeks home.” By another strange coincidence in this chapter of coincidences, Mrs. Cook, too, was in South Harpswell, Me., when she received the first news of her husband's success.
