Commander Pcury's dispatch today from Indian liarbor to the Associated Pres gives his first expression cons coming the claim of Dr. (look that he reached the.

Penr"s latest telegram is hardly less noiuile thun’ his tirst announcement whicl absorbed the. attention of tho entlra world, as it gives concrete form to the issues already vaguely outlined in scientific quarters on the authen» tlcliy of Cook's announcement, and the question or priority in reaching the, pole. At the some time, it is the first expression of opinion from any one in a po ition to know the facts of the. Arctic region on which llr. (‘Ook's ciaiu s are based. it captains a direct intimation that Dr. Cook never reach- ed the pole at all. The dispatch from Commander Pear; was responsive to an ihquiry by wireless telegraph to him at Indian Harbor, immediately following his tirst announcement. The first message from Peary, received by The Aseo-iated Press at l2239 p. m., last Monday. came with such startling sud~ denmss that the most urgent measures were immediately adopted to oonllrm Its absolute authenticity. This was quickly done and the message traced to it. source and verified. At the same time an urgent dispatch was im- medlttely sent to Commander Peary, by ctble to Halifax, and thence by land loss and wireless to Indian Har- bor, asking'hlm for additional particu- lars nd corroborative details, and in forming him that 2"Dr. Cook arrived at Copenhagen, September’s, claiming to have reached the pole April 21, 1908. ‘Th Perry's first telegram announcing his achievement, and it was evidently the first word the explorer received on coming within the range of civilization that. Cook had already set up the claim or b ing the first discoverer of the Nort Pole. Commander Psary's re~ sponii‘e therefore embodies his views on first hearing the news that his announcement of the discovery of the pole pas disputed by Cook. The atten- tion or Europe and America continues to be centered on the announcement oi.‘ th two North Pole explorers. Dr. Cook’s lecture at Copenhagen, last Light, when he had ample oppor- tunity to substantiate his claims, was rectal-ed there without the indications that it was accepted as conclusive, and this view is again reflected today in the increasing skepticism reported from foreign capitals. Commander Penn‘s ship, the Roosevelt, sailed from Indian Harbor at noon today for Battia Harbor, Labrador, where it is expected tomorrow. whence it proceeds to N)l'th Sydney. POINT AMOUR.

The Westminster Gazette says: “Commander l’cury's statement brings the whole dispute to an acuth crisis, and the atmosphere of the North Pole is becoming decidedly sul~ try with stormy complications," adding that Dr. Cook's lecture delivered at Copenhagen last night was not alto nether convincing. The Pall Mall Gazette remarks: ”So far as Peary is concerned, there is no question whatever of the accur- acy oi ills statements.

Referring to the drastic character of the bombshell thrown by Commander l’eury, it do clures that l‘oary has sent a word "to shatter the pretences oi inlpostnre, for that is the only meaning of his qultc unambiguous niessnxe. This Peary has done because he is convinced oi the truth of his own assertion, and because he feels that the honorable page of Arctic exploration must at once be cleared of pretences that could only dishonor it."
