SYDNEY, N. 8, Nov. 24. Flying the flag of the United States, which had been placed nearer (he pole than any other national standard, weather beat- en and torn and disabled, the Peary arctic steamer Roosevelt arrived under sail and steam after sixteen months’ vain effort to reach the pole. Though oot eatirely successful, the expedition nevertheless got to 87 degrees ¢ min. utes north latitude, or 203 miles from the pole. Commander Peary came ashore al- most Immediately after the steamer came to anchor and joined Mrs. Peary, who has been here for {wo weeks waiting for her husband's retury. The Roosevelt shows no sign of rough usage. She looks sound about the hull, except aft, under counter, where she shows the effect of a broken rudder.

Jesup, a hundred foot affalr, was brought back by the commander, aud It was saved by bLelug carried to the ship over the Ice on the backs of Eskimos. The two other sledges, the Duke of Abruzzi and the Admiral Beaumont, were broken up ou the Ice to furnish fuel to cook the dogs which the party was forced to devour. After greeting Lis wife Peary at once sent the following message to Morris K. Jesup of New York “The club's expedition has complet- ed a great polar trisugle, the apex of which marks the nearest approach to the pole, and its base connects the northern extremities of the two wost uorthern lands ou the globe. A plece of the stars aud stripes bus been de posited at each angle of the triangle” Peary places the exact northern Hit of his over ice trip as terwinating at 201% wiles from the pole.
