Mr. Evnrts stnrtd off by saying, very confidently, that the fin est race of men nnrl women In the world are bred In Termont, nnd then he went on to elaborate his statement. He first made things right by stating that Mr. Sherman's ancestors were Vermontors nnd then he read tn ex tract from the familiar "Widow rte dott" papers which told about tlie Vermontors coming over the moun tains with n spelling book In one hand nnd n hnlter In the other If they could get a Job teaching school they took It, but If they couldn't they brought the halter sn they could steal n horse, Mr, Evarts nld that he be lieved the elder Sherman had both strings to his bow- and took every chance lie hnd. Mr. Evarts concluded by saying thnt the best he could do for the Vice-President was to quote the lines. "Tho man worth while Is the onn who can smile when every thing goes dend wrong." VICE-PIIESIDENT J. fi. SIIE!t!MAN.

To properly measure the wealth and power of the country we must compare It with all tho other countries of the world com bined.

Mr, Evarts got the Inugh which he deserved and the table of songsters struck tip, "For He's n Jolly Good Fellow." ji'stice n. J. imrawrart. Justice Brewer began by saying that It wns not the first time ho had met with the league, nnd he thanked that organ ization for Its courtesy. He said thnt ho had often heen obliged to listen to Mr. Evnrts In his official rapacity and that ho hoped, some day, to have a sweet revenge by cornering him and talking him to death. Tho Justice said he thought It would not be Inappropriate to tell a fish story to the Fish nnd Game League, nnd he went nn to do so: In the good old nnte-beilum days a certnln Tennessee gentleman moved tn Vlrglnln, taking his body Rcrvnnt with him. They went to church on the first Sunday end the minister preached a ser mon about the familiar story of Jonnh nnd the whale. On the way home the entlcmnn snld to Ills servant, "Sam, do von believe tnai sinry anout .lonan sallowing thnt whale?" The servant re tilled. "Ah dunnn. sah, Ah dnnno, hut those Virginia gentlemen are suhtlngley hell on tlstt." Justice Brewer said, apropos of thn outing of the league which Is held In New York Ptnte, that he thought It showed n Christian rpint on the part of 'he Vermonters to come over anil mine the people ncross the lake for a little while. He said he considered the missionary spirit In Vermont next best tn thnt In Knnsns, which Is his own Stn'e. He nld Hint they hnd educated fish In Knnsas nnd told the story of the man. who, wane nsning in tue Arnnnsas river, lost his wntch and a silver dollar overboard A v,ir afterward he caught a large cattish which weighed over one hundrrd pounds. Inside of the fish was the watch, which the llsh had kept wound, still running, the silver dollar nnd six cents for Interes. The Justice snld that the sterling worth nnd character of the American people was evidenced no better any where than In the Stito of Vermont. lie paralleled tho I'nlteil States with the Ttomnn empire In lis rapid accumulation of wealth, but paid thnt their fate could never be ours because of the stability and moml ptirltv of the people. The moral nnd Intellectual tone of the com mnn people will s ve us from the fate of the Romnns. The constitution Is the Instrument by which the government Is to be maintain ed, nnd that Instrument will be upheld by the common people. And by the "com mnn people" the Jntlce said tint he meant those who did an honest diy's work In the office or the field, not the population of the slum nor of the palaces. Justice Brewer recalled the parade of the. Grand Armv nf the Bepubllc, some thlitv years after the Civil War, when a hundred thousand men mnrched down Pennsylvania avenue In the cltv of Washington. The lesson thnt he wished to draw was that they were without anus, that they had responded to the call of the country In time of need, hnd settled tlie trouble nnd then returned to t'leli foimer peaceful occupations. He said that he knew many foreign diplo mats had written home to their govern ments, nfter that parade, "do not eng.ige In war with the 1'nlted States." Thr Justice touched upon the subject of the purity of the streams and lakes lu Vermont. He said that It was tho doty of everv city to see that Its reftiso was properly taken care of and thnt It did not pollute any stream or body of water. The spread of disease, the killing of tho fish, nnd countless other evils are ell the result of carelessness or In difference on this snblect. The future will see that this work Is accomplished. The people mnv be slow In nwnkenlng to Its necessities but when they do at last awake they will rise up and do something. Justice Brewer concluded by a ref erence to the patronizing nttltiule ore Inclined to take, In days, toward the fathers public and the constitution. that the constitution must- anchor of our liberties and If that Is permitted the country not go down. The Justice said that In 4.1 years of Judicial practice he had always Insisted thnt the con stitution must be preserved until .al tered by the people In the mnnner set forth In thnt Instrument. Ho con eluded by saying: "In that I bcllere and to that I am Irrevocably pledged After . the conclusion of Justice Brewer's speech "Should Auld Ac quaintance Be Forgot?" wns sung by the bnnqueters, all standing, and thn they started for the boat. The band led the way, ns It had earlier In the day when they arrived. The ride back to this city was little short of perfect. Though the sky was some what overcast by clouds, the night was not dark nnd It was Just warm enough. The Fish nnd Game League banquet was n success.

The Vice-President said that he sudden ly happened to think that the only boat which could carry the Verinoulirs homo lu time for milking wns almost icudy to leave nnd lie would cut his speech short. He expressed his deep gmtlflrntlon for the Invitation of the league and thanked the members for their entertainment. It was Just before the speech of tho Vice-President that nn Incident ocenned which wns both amusing nnd Irritating.

Sydney, C. B., Sept. 19 With the approach of Commnndor Robert E. Penry and Dr. Frederick A. Cook to American ports, the question, which hns developed n controversy of world wide Interest "Hns Cook been to the Pole?" Is being asked repeatedly by those who hnve gathered here to greet the commander. New light was thrown on the controversy to-day on the arrival of the steamer Tyrlnn from Battle Harbor where the corres pondents learned from two members of Peary's expedition that Dr. Cook had mot litem nt Etnh nnd hnd men tioned nothing of discovering the Pole, They were Ilontswnln John Murphy and William Prltchnrd, as slstnnt cook of the Roosevelt, whom Peary stationed at Etnh to guard the stores. Murphy telling of his exper ience nt Etah, raid to the newspaper men: "Cnmmnndei Penry told me to go ashore at Etnh to guard tho stores which I saw taken from the Roose velt and the Erik. Prltchnrd wns with me. Some time last spring a white man came Into camp nnd Harry Whitney told me ho was Dr. Cook. He did not stay long In camp nnu soon -.rent nwny. Cook looked tired and worn out nnd snld he wns hun gry. I hail nn nrgument with him, as he claimed thnt some of the stores we were guarding belonged to him. He had only two Eskimos with him nnd ns nil his dogs were dead the doctor had to pull his own sledge Prltchard said these Eskimos told him thnt they had been "way, way north." PEARY HAD ROW WITH WHITNEY None of the Pnry party at Battle Harbor would discuss what Informa tion hnd been learned from Harry Whitney, ns Cnmmnnder Peary hnd given orders that the Cook eontrover must not be mentioned. It wns commonly reported nt Rattle Harbor, however, that Peary hnd some differ ences with Whitney who decided that Instead of returning to' Sydney n the Roosevelt, he would do some shooting In Greenland. Friends of Dr. Cook hern pointed out thnt when Commander Peary on his return from the pole sent for Pro fessor McMillan, who had gone to cs tabllsh a base nf supplies nt Cape Morris Jestip, he did not mention In his letter to the professor anything of his discovery of the pole. Tho message which wns made public by Professor McMillan at Battle Harbor read: "S. S. Roosevelt. April 2H. 1905 "My Dear McMillan: "Arrived on board yesterday. North ern trip wns entirely satisfactory, There Is no need of Greenland depot Captain came on board the 24th. Con centrnte all your energies nn tidal observations and line soundings north from Cape Morris Jestip. I'se Intend ed supplies for me for this purpose, (Signed), "COMMANDER PEARY." The ndherents of Cnmmnnder Peary assert that the words In the message "northern trip entirely satisfactory" Indl cate clearly that the expedition had nc compllshed Its purpose. WHITNEY WAS RETICENT. Professor McMillan said at Battle Har bor that ho had seen Harry Whitney nt Etah and that Whitney did not tell any one of Dr. Cook's reported discovery of the pole. It wns In nn old sail and stores loft In Bsttle Harbor, Labrador, that Command er Penry told the story to a score or mure of correspondents of his Journey t the pole. He will head no more trips to the Arctic, nor, for tht matter, to the Antartlc. His work In the Ice flolds Is finished. "I have accomplished the ambition of my life," said the commander. "I shall always be Interested In Arctic explora tions, hut It must now be left to younger men," Dressed In 'a dark blue shirt of rough material, with trousers tucked In u pair of high top rubber boots thnt reached al most to his hips, ho looked for all tho world like a Newfoundland fisherman. A sandy moustache nnd hair that had grown negligently In the Arctic sought to give the lie to the preclso expression nf his mouth nnd searching look of his steel bine eyes. Comma nder Peary did no fencing with his Interviewers nnd prefaced the "In quisition" ns he called It, with tho state ment that he had made his position clear In reference to the Cook con troversy In earlier despatches which had been sent bv wireless to the As sociated Press. COULD FAKE OBSERVATIONS. I shall pay no nttentlon to fake stories or nny sine issues, mm i-oinnwnurr Peary, "thnt nre put out to distract from tho main question 'has Cook been at tho pole?1 " Do you think it possible for any man to fake observations to prove that he was at the pole?" he was asked, "In the opinion of Admiral Melville, H. S. N., Admiral Sir George Nares, R. N, nnd myself, yes" ho responded quick ly. Thon he continued: "I do not care to speak of other ob servations In view of what I claim and I won't say anything more until the statement signed fcy another Is offered and then I will submit my statement," The story of Christmas day In the Arctic nnd tho athletic games was de- PROMPTLY fULIKVtD BY.

Thero were races for the Ameri cans, men and women Eskimos, their boys nnd girls, and a tug-of-war ho tween tho fore and nft cabin men of tho Roosevelt, No such athletic contest hns ever heen held In this or nny other coun try. Christmas day falls In the dead of the arctic night nnd to light the racing path little whale nil lamps wero set on snow mounds at Inter vals of IS feet. In the flickering -yellow light this weird company, hooded, and garbed In the heavy furs of the North, gathered nnd applauded the contestants, Tnh-Cuh-Mnh won the race for thn married women, One of three things wns offered as prizes, a bar of soap, a box of thrend and a frosted cake. She quickly took the soap. Ross Marvin won the foot race for the Amerlcnns, while Hlgloo won the. rnco for the Eskimo men. The holiday was fittingly observed on tho Roosevelt and while musk-ox tools the placo of turkey there were nil sorts of puddings and sweetmeats on the table. VALUE OF THE EXPEDITION. anMil'tni. nf thn scientific, value cf the expedition to the North Pole Commander Peary snld tho soundings from Cnpe Columbia to the Polo were nluable nnd supplemented the data given by Nansen nnd Cagnlon tho other side of the Pole. The renchlng of the Pole," ndded Fcary, "is the proof of mans final conquest of the earth. As It stood with the Pole tin found It wns a con tinual reproach to civilization. The discovery of the South Pole may now be looked for ns an accepted fact." That Greenland and tho Arctic regions will become a summer resort In time Is Commnnder Peary's confident belief nnd Dr. Ooodsell, physician of the expedition. asserted thnt the dry nlr and constant sunlight of the summer wns a fine cuio for tuberculosis. The explorer spoke sadly of the loss of Ross O. Marvin, who was drowned on April 11. "We were In our Igloos," said he, when Kood-Look-Too nnd Inuh-Olu-Too came Into enmp alone with their heads down. They shook their heads and wo knew that poor Marvin had been lost. They said they found the hole where he had fnllen through the thin Ice and they could see tho bnck of his fur coat above the snrfneo of the water." A brass tablet Inscribed with Marvin's name and the date and place of his death wns erected on n cairn of white stones or crystnls nt Cape Sheridan. EASY TO REACH POLE AGAIN. I believe," Commander Peary con tinned, "that nny member nf my party could reach the pole twice out of three times. Just the snme as Capt. Bartlett could take the Roosevelt through the Ice floes to Cape Sheridan four out of five times. You get your training as you pro gress toward the pole. I keep myself sound, clean nnd straight and this hns been of grent help In the trials of n rigorous climate. "The expedition this time compared with my earlier ones was particularly fortunnte In the absence of winds east nnd west across our course and to the fortunate prevailing wind In our faces which held the Ice to the land and did not fault the trails made by this in ad vance. Anln we had the advantages of a new type of sledges, without which we would not hnve been nble to make our remarkable progress. This type of sledge, t the Morris K. Jessup sledge, shows the same marked development that Is shown , In tho steam yacht of the last few years. It reduces the traction force on the dogs nnd also reduces the strnln on the dri vers. It Is t.o picnic In the Arctic; Just hnrd work all the time. There Is no rid ing on the sledges but Just pushing every minute." Tho story of Professor McMillan of his finding of the relics and stores of earlles expeditions was fraught with Interest.
