THEPEAllllll-ll‘YSAFE
Terrible Sufi'ering Experienced Before

. most as a Miracle—The Expe-
dition 9. Failure.
relief steamer has arrived here with Lieu-
tenant Peary and his companions from
Greenland on board. - i
When the Kite reached Whale sound on
and their colored servant, Mat Henson,
were found waiting for it. The party had
only ten days previously returned from
their great overland expedition, which had
proved a comparative failure. Lieutenant
Peary and the other two started late .in
March and made their way to Independ-
, ence bay, which is the most northerly
point of Greenland, which he had reached
on his previous expedition. Independence
bay was reached early in June, but there
were not enough men in the party to ac.
oomplish any bold venture. - They Were
further deterred from any great undertak;
ings' by the insufficiency of their food sup.
ply, an obstacle which was foreseen last
year.
All three of those who participated in
the journey Were giyatly reduced from the
lack of food and Were obliged to abandon
the attempt to make further progress. In
this respect this year’s work was but a
repetition of last year’s failure, although
the weather experienced was much more
favorable this year than last. Nearly all
the dogs that were taken on the expedition
cause of the lack of food for them.
The Kite experienced splendid weather
in the north and started to explore the
west side of Smith sound after picking up
Lieutenant Peary and his companions and
discovered many new harbors. She trav-
ersed the whole coast, visiting Jones’
sound, Cape Sabine and Littleton island.
Perhaps the most important discovery of
this trip was two mereorites of large size
and almost of pure iron, which were taken
On board the Kite. Another meteorite,
weighing about 40 tons, was found, but it
was impossible to bring it home.
Missed His Food Supplies.
Lieutenant Peary and his companions
of the Greenland expedition have but lit-
tle to say in regard to their experiences.
The overland eipedition to Independence
bay, it is learned, was not only not as sat-
isfactory as has been anticipated, but came
very near resulting fatally to Peary and
the other two. They started late in March
on this journey, and after reaching Inde-
pendence bay were unable to proceed more
than a few miles along the coast, just be-
yond their former stopping place. They
unable to proceed farther on account of
the precipitous nature of the descent.
gency arose, owing to the fact that Lieu-
cache of last year. He was unable to dis-
cover any marks indicating it and was
compelled to continue his journey Without
the ample food supplies which he had reck-
oned on. The three men—Peary, Lee and
Henson—went at once on short rations,
husbanding as much food as possible, but
before many days their sufferings became
intense, and Lee broke down altogether.
The strain had been so great on him that
it became necessary to place him on a
sledge, which the other two drew. His ill-
ness gave further cause for alarm because
of the fact that adequate medical supplies.
were not on hand, and it was feared dur-
ing the first stages that he would die from
exhaustion. But he rallied eventually.
All three owe their lives to the shooting
of eight musk oxen, but during the jour-
ney they had to sacrifice the‘weaker dogs
and feed the flesh to the others, for it was
necessary to sustain Some of the animals
as long as possible to enable their sup-
plies and instruments to be brought along.
' Out of 49 dogs which started only one re-
turned alive, and all five sledges were
abandoned during the two days just prior
to the return of the party to Anniversary
Lodge. 9
Almost a. Miracle.
Their safe return they looked upon as
almost a miracle, as during those last two
days hardly a. particle of food passed the
mouths of any of the men, and the strug-
gle to reach their home was one of ever in-
creasing sufiering. When the relief expe—
dition reached Anniversary Lodge, the
Peary party Were showing marked evi-
dences of their terrible experience.
Lieutenant Peary was extremely non-
commital in regard to the expedition gen-
erally, and all of the party declined to ex-
press an opinion on the work done, nor
will they state what new discoveries have
been made. The Kite’s cruise, after find-
ing Peary, was not prolific of results, or, if
It was, not much is being said of the na-
ture of the discoveries, and Professor Cyclic
made an unusually large collection of birds
at Holsteinburg.
which were found are of large size, .one
weighing about three tons, the latter be-
Ing found near Cape York. The'great iron
stone reported by Sir John Ross, which
Was also come upon could not be got oif,
Owing to, its unweildy size and enormous
weight. " '
It is believed by the members of the
party that the expedition could have made
a point much farther north in the Kite, as
there was open water as far north as could
be seen from Littleton island, Dr. Kane’s
winter quarters, the most extreme point
visited by the Kite after taking 01! the
Peary party. -

The New America’s Cup Challenger Is Evi-
dently a Thorough Sportsman.
' LONDON, Sept. BEL—The secretary of’the;
Victoria Yacht club states that the club
has been requested to issue a challenge for
the America 5 cup. He is awaiting neces-
sary particulars and detailed information
concerning the requirements of the New
York Yacht club before anything can be
done. . »~ '
Mr. Rose, the challenger, is a tall, ath-
letic looking man about 40 years of age,
with a bronzed face. He was asked for
particulars regarding his challenge for the
America’s cup, and replied: _
“Yes, I am going to challenge for the
cup.
to the secretary of the New York Yacht
club, and I have also communicated with
Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan on the subject.
. The formal challenge will go through the
Royal Victoria Yacht club in a few days.
as soon as the designer and I shall have
agreed on the dimensions of the yacht
which is to be built and other particulars
which it is necessary to incorporate in the
challenge. The yacht will be designed by
Soper, the designer of Satanita, and it
will be built at Fay’s yard in Southamp- ~
ton. Ican give you no further particulars,
as really they are not settled yet. ”
“Shall you make it a. condition that the
races for the America’s cup must be held
elsewhere than in the vicinity of New
York?” was asked.
“Certainly not,” replied Mr. Rose. “I
shall make no conditions, though, of
course, I am most anxious that the races
shall be held where there will be no chance
of interference, and I have no doubt that
the New York committee feel the same
way' n
"It was feared, ” observed the interview-
er, “that the recent fiasco would prevent
any Englishman from challenging again. ”
“Oh, no,” said Mr. Rose, “the afiair is
regretted on both sides. A certain amount
of friction is inseparable from all interna-
tional sporting events, but that will not
deter us from trying again.”
IT WAS A GREAT VICTORY.
The New York Athletic Club’s Wonderful
Performance Against the Englishmen.
NEW YORK, Sept. 23.—The members of
the New York Athletic club are justifiably
jubilant over the big feather—or rather
bunch of feathers—they have stuck in Un-
cle Sam’s sporting cap by their over-
whelming victory in Saturday’s interna-
tional athletic tournament at Manhattan
Field, in which the American cracks won
every contest, the Englishmen only gain~
ing second place in five- events. Four
world’s records were broken, and one was
equaled.
Between 10,000 and 12,000 people saw
the greatest series of athletic contests this
country has ever known, under conditions
that were absolutely perfect. The games,
originally between the New York athletic
and the London athletic clubs, were really
between the bcsttcam that could be gath-
ered in this country and the best team that
could be brought over from England.
The British team did not include all the
best athletes in the United Kingdom, but
it is nearly certain that had the London
Athletic club brought over all the cham-
pions, the American 'team would still
have won.
The most sensational performances were
those of K-ilpatrick, who lowered the half
mile record a full second; Wafers, who
equaled the world’s record of 9 4-5 sec«
ends for the 100 yards. and then lowered
the world’s record in the 220 yards run to
21 3-5 seconds; Sweeney, who madcahigh
jump of 6 feet 5 % inches; Chase, who
lowered the high hurdle record a fifth of
a second, and Burke, who beat Jordan in
the quarter mile by six inches.
OUR NEW TORPBDO BOATS.
The Committee Recommends That Maran
Build One and the Herreshofl's Two.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.—Chiof Con-
structor Hichborn and Chief Engineer
Melville, who have had the bids for the
construction of the three contemplated
torpedo boats under consideration, have
completed the examination and compari-
son of the bids and made their report to
the secretary of the navy.
It is understood to point out that one of
three courses is open to the department——
viz, to award the building of one of the
boats to Maran of Seattle, Wash, and two
to the Herreshofi‘s; the second, to award
all three to the Herrcshoifs, and the third
to readvertise for bids.
They recommend the adoption of the
first plan, which would bring the aggre-
gate within the appropriatién fixed by law.
the Horreshoffs bids being below the legal
limit and the Moran bid above it.
considered fair and within the spirit of the
law to let the contract for one of tho ves-
sels to the Pacific coast, even though the
price may be somewhat in excess of the
other bids.

THE (Josue BERLIN
Prince Hohenlohe and the Agitation
Against His Premiership.
an OFFICIAL WARMING PAN
The Chancellor SimplyActing as Such For
Some .Younger Statesman Who Is
More In Accord With the Views
of His Imperial Muster.
BERLIN, Sept. 23.—Semioificial denials
that a change in the imperial chancellor‘-
ship is impending are accepted as settling
for the present the question of Emperor
William’s intention of displacing Prince
Hohenlohe. The fact must not be forgot-
ten, however, that the agitation against
Prince Hohenlohe proceeds from the same
quarters and is prosecuted upon the same
lines and significantly enough under al-
most precisely the same circumstances as
the agitation which preceded the fall of
Count von Caprivi. People are beginning
to ask themselves whether Emperor Wil-
liam’s return from shooting at Romainten
will be the signal for another change in
the chancellorship, such as followed his re-
turn from Count von Eulenberg’s estate
last year.
Prince Hohcnlohe has returned from his
long vacation looking much stouter and
more robust than he did last winter. The
other ministers are also returning to Ber-
lin one by one. The bundesrath will re-
assemble early in October, when the puz-
zling question of dealing with the Social-
ists and other difficult subjects will come
up for its consideration. In view of in-
evitable complications, it is not safe to
count much longer upon the duration of
the present regime. There is little doubt
of the truth of The Vorwaert’s declaration
that Prince Hohenlohe is merely acting as
a warming pan for some younger states-
man and one more in accord with the
emperor’s views, who will ere long suc-
ceed him 59‘) the office of imperial chancel-
lor.
Von Bioberstein’s Case.
Germany’s foreign policy, so far as it
has been directed or influenced by I-Icrr
von Bieberstein, has not been satisfactory
to Emperor William for some time past.
It is rumored that the emperor’s frequent
traveling companion and intimate of late,
Baron Kidcrlen-Waechter, whom he deco-
rated with the Grand Cross of the Iron
Crown after the Stettin maneuvers of last
week, is destined to succeed Von Bicber-
stein in the office ofthe minister of foreign
affairs.
Although Baron von Hammerstein, the
fugitive ex-chief editor of The Kreuz Zei-
tung, might be extradited from England
and brought here for trial under existing-
treaties and in spite of the evidence of
fraud which the directors of The Kreuz
Zeitung have placed in the hands of the
public prosecutor, the baron continues to
intimate the publication of compromising
letters written by leaders of the Conserva-
tive pary to personages of high position.
It is announced that 80 of these letters,
containing startling facts, are about to be
issued in pamphlet form. It is understood
that the contents of these letters relate
chiefly to illicit love affairs of the baron
and to his financial speculations, but they
are regarded as politically important as
showing that leaders of the Conservative
party were cognizant of these intrigues.
It is now stated that Baron von Hammer-
stein has not yet resigned from the diet
and reichstag, of both of which bodies he
was a member. -
Prince Henry of Prussia, brother of Em-
peror William, will utilize the year’s fur-
lough from his duties as an admiral of the
' German navy to become acquainted with
the various branches of foreign govern-
ment administration. He will visit the
courts of. England, Italy and Austria, and.
will also visit Paris for the first time.
When he goes to the French capital, it
will be incognito.
The favorite residence at Babelsburg c:
Emperor William I has become the resi‘
dence of Crown Prince William, who has
now his own court and retinue.
Dr. Sievers’ Case.
Mr. Schlenker of Chicago and a small
party of other German-American veterans
of the Franco-Prussian war who have been
' visiting the battlefields in Alsace and Lor-
raine, were entertained on Tuesday by the
Veterans’ association of Strasburg.
Among the 15 pending cases of Germani
Americans visiting the fatherland who got
into trouble on account of having evaded
military service and who sought the air
of the American embassy the most inter-
esting is that of Dr. J. C. R. Sievers of
Chicago, who came to see his parents and
- to finish his medical studies at ItZehoe,
' Holstein.
The decree of expulsion in his
case, which expired on Sept. 1, was sus‘
pended on appeal .of Mr. Runyon, the
United States embassador to Germany, for
investigation. It has now been. decided
that Dr. Sievers must quit Prussian terri-
tory by November, but he will be permit-
ted to complete his studies in some non-
Prussian university in Germany.
Emperor William has donated nine can-
non, which were captured from the French
during the War of 1870-71, for conversion
into churchbells for the new Protestant
garrison church at Hanover.
The international conference of the Fed-
eration For _the Abolition of State Regular
tion of Vice, which has been sitting at
Colmar, Alsace. the past week, was well
attended by German people. It was an
nounced as upon authority that the Roman
Catholic church favored the movement for
which the federation was organized.
