Washington, D. C. — Commander
Peary’s recognition by congress for
his North Pole journey has hecome ab-
solutely impossible at this session, ac:
coring to the views of House Nayal
Affairs Committee members. . They
assert the house would never consent
to approve any form of .recognition
lacking the favorable report of the
committee, and that Peary’s failure
to present his proofs freely and open-
ly for scientific criticism has preju
diced his case beyond repair at the
present session.
This is the sentiment following the

proval was given the Bates motion to
postpone all action until Peary's
proofs are in evidence, One of the

The postal savings bank bill, which

Representative Roberts of Massa:

absolutely opposed to granting any
award to Commander Peary unless his
proofs are made public.
“There is nothing whatever before
us to show that Mr. Peary discovered
the Pole except the statements of cer

he made 26.4 miles a day. Mr. Ma

and others that from 10 to 12 miles
per day was the limit of human en

FRENCHMAN'’S BIG GRAFT
Misappropriated a Million from
Church Property Fund.
Paris—The arrest of M. Duez follow:
ing his confession that he had misap
propriated something like $1,000,00(
of the funds received from the sale
of church property, for which he was
the liquidator, has created a great
sensation in France. Intimations are
freely made that other liquidators in
the employ of the government are sim:
ilarly involved. ’
The Republican press find no words
of excuse for the disgraced official
and lay much of the responsibility for
the condition of affairs upon the im
mense amount of work assigned to 8
single-liquidator. At the same time
the papers accord the government un
stinted prajse for its courage in bold
ly exposing the scandal on the eve. of
the general elections, when it is sure
to become a powerful weapon in the
hands of ‘the Catholic adversaries, whe |
for months have been organizing a
genuine political campaign.
The Catholic and Royalist opposi
tion press generally manifest high
glee over the exposure, which they
declare confirms the suspicions long
entertained that the property of the
and convents
appropriated by the state, instead of
furnishing $200,000,000 for old-age pen:
slons and other social reforms, as the
proletariat had been taught to believe
at the time separation of Church and
State was voted, had disappeared inte
the pockets of thieving politicians.

Official advices received from
Youngstown, Ohio, are that the floods

assuring information wag obtained.

of the railroad company to provide
cars while the water is so high. For
the past few days the company has
had no little difficulty in keeping even
a small part of its rolling stock in op-
eration and, as a result, the mines
have lost much time. Within the next
few days, however, the conditions will
be much improved.—Wheeling News.
