The New York dispatch stating that

which would go far towards proving

Polo undoubtedly belongs to Ameri
ca Lieutenant E H Shackleton the
English explorer said today
The news within a week he con I
tinued that two men have reached
the polo Is an extraordinary coinci
dence We all expected to hear of
Commander Pearys arrival some time
during tho month and we sincerely
hopod that the result of his years of
effort and struggle would bo crown
i ed with success
I Poarv undoubtedly got the polo
between him and Dr Cook the polo
I certainly has been ranched It is said
I Peary reached the goal April 26 1009
lIt will be Interesting to know tho date
1110 left hit base to go to tho polar
sea and his rate of travel If Pearys
opaod coincides with Cooks this fact
will go far In the eyes of the world
I to clear up the question whether such
J distances as claimed by Cook can be
covered The ice conditions around
I Pearys camp In 1SOS should approxl
I rat fjnrwhat the conditions observ
ed by Cook
in extremely unlikely that the
i it > >
metal cylinder left at tho pole by Dr
I Cook will be found by Poiri because
t of the drifting ror the Ice If Pear took
a more owtprly line there is a pos
1 aiblllty of his coming across the
e
cylinder but such a find would bo ex
traordinary for a fall of snow would
be sufficient to hide all traces of this
tube I
Peary from what I know of him
would be the first to give credit to any
one who preceded him Peaty deserv
ed his success ho has devoted his lifo
to Arctic exploration and nobody has
a wider knowledge of Arctic travel
In conclusion Lieutenant Shackle
ton said
While Pearys success will stop at I
tempts to reach the North Pole there
is a lot of scientific work to be done in I
the Arctic regions which It will bo
I
impossible to carry out on marches to
the pole on account of the quickness
of travel I
The question of the ownership of
the land of the North Pole Is to come
up in tho house of commons I
Sir George Parker has given notice
of his Intention of asking Premier I
Asquith whether this territory is not I
considered as belonging to Canada
and if Dr Cook has planted the Am

act gives the United States any rIght

TEll STORY
Details of His Conquest
Expected in Twenty
four Hours
New York Sept Commander
Robert E Pearys own story of his
successful conquest of the North Polo
will In all probability be given to tho
world within twentyfour hours The
explorer and his party are due at
Chateau Bay today and from there
all arrangements have been made for
the quick dispatch of Pearys narra
tive no matter what Its length may I
be to all pipers of the world I
Messages received from Peary and
his companion indicated that they had
I
found the North Ple April G of this
year and that on the return to civili
zation Commander Peary has prepar
ed a readable story of his Journey to
the mysterious goal of centuries and
the retreat from there to civilization
This story will first cpme direct into
a New York newspaper office which
contributed liberally to the Peary ex
pedition and which had a contract I
with the explorer for his first story
The coming details will he an elab I
oration of Commander Pearys first
word to the chlllzed world after he
had reached the polo which was sent
yesterday by him from Indian Harbor
to the Associated Press This first
bulletin from the famous explorer was t
in every large city a half hour after its j
receipt in New York and from all na
tions come reports of the excitement I
it caused following so closely on the j
announcement of Dr Frederick A I
Cook of Brooklyn who la now receive J
ing the homage of the world In Cop
enhagen that ho was the first dls1
coverer of the Nojth Polo I
Dr Cook was at a banquet In his
honor In Copenhagen when Command
er Pearys dispatch to tho Associated I
Press was road to him Dr Cook lost I
little time In sending to New York a I
number of cablegrams in all of which
he expressed his gratification that
Peary had also reached the pole and I
announced his belief that Pearys ob
servations would amply verily his
own claim that he had been to the
furthermost point of the compass I
Dr Cook was particularly joyous
that with Commander Pearys suc
cess which ho did not In the least
doubt all the honor for the achieve I
ment was now fully American In a I
telegram to New York Dr Cook dc
dareR that the science of exploration I
will benefit Immeasurably through the j
fact that Poary reached tho pole by a I
route different from his thus covering i
another large unknown space and with I
the Cook observations clearing a mys I
tery which has perplexed geographers j
many centuries
That the North Pole phould be found
and its announcement chronicled at j
about the same tma Is but one coinci i
dence In a strange series of facts which
has kept tho public of tho world ex II
cited perhaps as never before for
a week I
Among these coincidences are men
I tioned that tho pole was found by two
Americans that for the first limb two
I polar explorers attempted to reach
the apex of the earth at the close of
the winter season over the frozen
I polar seas that their first announce
I ments of their success were quite sim
ilar that both mon had devoted their
lives to exploration of polar areas
I
that they bad been connected with
l scientific organizations and lastly and
probable Immaterially the wives and
families of the two great rivals have I
been spending the summor at tho same
Ittlfl outnfthoway town on tho
Maine coast I
I Aricrg tnt members of the Araerl I
I can Geagraphlcal society now In this
I city there IB an inclination to believe
that the exciting news of the last week
has been tho culmination of a record
breaking race between the two ex
plorers from the dom of the world to
tho first telegraph wires which might
bring them fame and fortuna Cook
found tho North Pole April 21 100S I
and after a Journey of terrible hard
ships he made his winter quarters
Jut about a year ago near Etah from
which place he bail started for the
pole From preliminary reports it is
believed that Peary reached Etah last
fall and after remalnjijg In the winter
lht > northern shore of Grnntlnnd ho
started on his dash fqr the pole last
February
According to one ofbis messages re
ceived here yesterday Peary located
the North Pole April 6 last almost
a rear after Dr Cook surveyed It
His retreat from the pole apparently
was not hampered by tho difficulties
which Dr Cook met because It is be
lieved that when ho reached Etah dur
ing the present summer ho was in
formed that Dr Cook had already dis
covered the North Pole that he had
been in winter quarters near there
and a few days previously he had I
started for civilization with his great
news By that time the Pear relief
ship Jeannie had reached Etah and i
Commander Pear on board the Roose
velt which had wintered at Etah
started south as far as ho could go In
the hopo of submitting his claim of
success to tho world before Dr Cook
This is indicated by the fact that ho
and his party put in at Indian Harbor
Labrador where they were not ex I
pected There is nq cablo or tele
graph line from there but his mes
sages were yesterday sent from
there by wireless to Newfoundland
While the messages from tho Peary
party have been exceptionally brief
so far it is believed by Herbert L
Bridgman secretary of the Peary Arc
tic club that after filing his news
paper story at Chateau Bay Labrador
Commander Peary and his party will
proceed with all speed to this city
where they should arrive within fie
days I I
Dr Cook has announced that he will
sail for this country September 23 and
it is possible that Instead of two sep
arate welcoming demonstrations there
will bo one grand celebration of their
return
The consensus of opinion now seems
to be that both men reached the North
Pole and that Dr Cook was there al
most a year before Peary and that tho
latter because of his superior equip
ment was able to gel out of the frozen
country in a years less time than it
required Dr Cook
It Is probable that their return to
this country may be mado a feature
of the Fulton H dson celebration
which Is to be held the latter part of
this month and the first of October
Dr Cook has not forgotten John R
Bradley the New York man who fin
anced his successful adventure Mr
Bradley has received i the following
cablegram from th9 explorer
Copenhagen September 3 Neith
er In frigid triumph 2t > thc pole nor in
the stormy haven of tho present have

COOK
Mr BridtmanJ whgAwas perhaps
more familiar with Perils plans than
any one man said that after dividing
his party Into three groups one to
make geological observations another
to take meteorological notations and
a third to establish bases ot supplies
he probably selected five or six of his
best men with from 501o lOll of the
best dogs and made the dash for the
pole In the party that accompanied
Peary to the pole Mr Brldgnau be
lieves were the following

geon Edwin G Marvin of Elmira N I

and Mat Hensen Pearys negro ser
vant who has accompanied him on
all previous polar expeditions
With two noted explorers reporting I
the discovery of the North Pole dis
interested geographers are satisfied
that the claims of ono can bo easily
checked by the data and observations

New York Sept iHerbert L
Brldgman secretary of the Peary Arc
tic club and a recognized authority
on Arctic exploration contributes an
articles to the Independent which will
t
appear tomorrow on the Dash to the I
Pole
It was written before Commander
Pearys announcement had been mado
and deals chiefly with Cooks claim
to having reached the polo on April
21 1903 It says In part
The announcement that the North
Pole that lure of the century has ac I
tually been reached comes so sud
denly and from a quarter so unexpect I
ed that intelligent judgment on the
fact is difficult Naturally writing for I
the public and forwarding this account
by cable only the personal and popu 1
lar phases would be presented and any I
statement of scientific results or data
would be deferred But Dr Cook
would probably not demand that scien
tific rank and weight should be given
to his expedition It was simply a
duel with naturoman stripped for the
fight encumbered only with the bar
est necessities determined to make a
life and death struggle for one thing
only tho goal But tho world will ask
that science though not directly In
terested and served shall verify the
claim and shall attest the result
And therefore Dr Cook will doubt
less be only too willing to offer the
data upon which the confirmation of
the narrative will rest Records diar
ira notebook locations courses and
all data so well known to expjorere
will be produced and placed with the
archives either In original or In dup
licate of the principal geographic so
cieties of the world
I Had he by any possibility opened
any of Ponrys cairns at Cape Thomas

After discussing past polar re

Maybe this IB not the time nor place
to Intrude ethics or etiquette Yet
those who have followed Arctic mat
t ora dont forget Peary made all this
possible and they reserve until the

an unlucky delay of contractors for
which he was In no way responsible
kept him at homo in the summer of

Ice marches while of course within I
the prescriptive rights of her owner
inited remark among men who re
spect honor and observe fair play
Pearys plans were all as open as
day and all of his countrymen knew
that fifteen years of dauntless and
undaunted work In which he had ac
complished many times more than all
who had preceded him were to bo
crowned by one final attempt to reach
tho coveted goal of centuries That
his men methods and reasonings I

mors regarding the condition of E II
Harriman havo been revived follow
ing his relapse of Sunday night It Is
believed that tho attack that caused I
I a hurry call for a New York nurse i
i and probably two nurses one for day
and one for night was a temporary
I
sickness caused by a sudden change
of temperature or an indiscretion in
diet which tho sick man in his
weakened condition was unable to
throw off Dr W G Lyle Mr Karri
mans private physician calls the at
tack acute indigestion In his state
ment last night Jio said that his pa
tient was better
One result of the news has been a
swift reassembling of the newspaper
representatives whose presence a week
ago at every avenue loading to the
Harriman house finally caused the
sick man himself to Issue a statement
regarding his condition and promise
I that If the press of the country would
withdrew Its representatives ho would
see that It was informed of any subse
I
quent crisis In his condition For this 1
I reason an effort Is being made to se
cure daily bulletins from Dr Lyle
While Mr Harrimans last attack
In itself may not bo serious there Is
always danger of grave consequences I
In the case of a man as weak as Mr
Harriman
This It is believed accounts for
anxiety of those surrounding the sick
man It was said today that although
I the progress of Mr Harrimans latest
attack has been arrested his tempera
ture remains high and he is exceed
ingly weak The best Information Is
that he is in bed and although no
confirmation of the report has yet
been obtained from tho house little
doubt exists here that there are other
physicians attending him besides Dr
Lyle
