Peary Coming this Way.


New YORK, July 3.-Shortly 6. after G
o'clock last night Lieut.. Peary's Arctic
ship, the Falcon, cast off her moorings
and backed off into the middle of the
East river. There were fully 200 people
on Excursion dock as the whaler moved
away, and they all raised their hats and
cheered the little craft that is to take
an American expedition to the nearest
navigable point to the North pole. The
Falcon was decked with bunting from
end to end and Lieut.. Pearys personal
flag hung from the taffrail.
After some maneuvring the bells in
the engine room rang, 'sgo ahead" and
the queer ship started up stream. The
big Sound steamers were just rounding
the Battery, and as they passed they sa-
luted the gayly decked Falcon.
The Falcon answered each salute but
made no attempt to keep up with the
big white side-wheelers.
The officers of the Falcon said they
expected to anchor in Boston late this
afternoon. ssThe ship will be
placed on exhibition asit was here for a
few days, and then will go on to Port
land, Me-, where Mr.. and Mrs. Peary
will JOIN the other members Of the ex-
ploring party, who are now aboard. Wis
itors were allowed on the Falcon until
half an hour of sailing time, There were
almost as many there as on the first day,
and the ticket takers said that in the
three days the Falcon was here they col
leeted over $'1400. This money goes to-
ward defraying the expenses of the ex-
pedition.

Disorder.

BosToN, July 3.-The Traveller prints
the, following interview with Gen.
Thomas W. Hyde of Bath, Me-: "There
is certaily necessity for immediate action
looking toward financial relief. I do not
personally believe that the country is in
a serious condition.
II belive the present trouble to be
largely a mental disorder 1t is not that
business is not good, crops plentiful, or
that thrre is any other tangible basis for
depression, but, on the contrary, some
business men starting in on a cautious
policy, paying as few bills as possible,
and holding fast to all that they have or
can collect of ready money. have forced
other concerns to pursue the same poll
cy, money has become tight. failures
FREQUENT, and hence the present state of
affairs.
II think it would be very good plan
for the government to issue gold bonds
after the Mexican plan. This would call
in the gold and relieve the strain.''

gave me the idea that he had any mental
weakness whatever"
One of the Lords of the Admiralty
said: ga better sailor than Tryon never
trod ships deck. The blunder simply
passes comprehension. Had Tryon
lived, he must have been adjudged guilty
according to present evidence, and un-
less the Crown used its prerogative he
would have been. shot"
Major General Walker Go1dsworthy
said this afternoon: ''Tryon was a tire

VIENNA, July 3.-The Neue Freie
Presse prints an interview on the silver
question given to its London correspond
ent by Mr.. Goschen, ex-Chancellor of the
Exchequer. India's action in closing her
mints to the free coinage of silver. Mr..
Goschen said, must be regarded as tenn
porary and tentative. India now possessed
no real standard of value. 1t was i'm
possible that such state of affairs
should continue indefinitely. Everything
depended in India upon how the natives
regarded the new measure. The natives
were naturally conservative and esteemed
the rupee as almost sacred. If they alb
solutely refused to accept the new meas
ure the government would be compelled
to Withdraw it.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-Speaker Crisp
arrived from the South early this morn
ing. Soon after arriving he went to the
Treasury where he held a conference
with Secretary Carlisle. The Speaker
declined to state the subject matter df
the conference. 1t is inferred that it
pertained to the contemplated legislation
in line with the known policy of the
President. "My visit to Washington at
this time" said Mr.. Crisp, twas not the
outcome of the call for the early session
of Congress. | did not know of it until
I was on the train coming this way. I
believe the action of the President ex-
ceedingly wise and think all factions can
agree on that. Whether the Sherman
purchasing act will be repealed is ques-
ton am unable to answer"
Mr.. Crisp intimated that there would
probably be change in the rules of the
House that would permit the majority to
shoulder the responsibility of such action
as might be determined upon. ''What-
ever is done,' continued Mr.. Crisp, lit
is certain there will be no curtailment of
full and liberal debate. Financial mat
ters will come first before Congress for
consideration. How long the extraordi-
nary session will last no one can tell, for

THE CASE oETHE SEALS.

Another Days Installment of MI. Phelps's
[. Long Speed.
PARIS, July 3.-Hon. E. S. Phelps, of
counsel for the United States, continued
his closing address before the Behring
Sea Tribunal of Arbitration today. He
examined into the rights claimed by
Russia in 100 and 1921, and into the re-
sulting protests from the United States
and treaties between America and Rus
sia. Mr.. Rhelps held that neither the
protests nor treaties raised any objec-
ton to Russias exclusive trading or
sealing rights in Behring Sea; they only
opposed Russias claim to exclusive
trading rights on the shores of the Pacific
ocean. Proceeding to deal with the
questions of jurisdiction involved in the
case, Mr.. Phelps contended that they
were subordinate to the main question
at issue. The property right Of America
in the seals and her right to care for the
animals would not depend on decision
by the tribunal favorable to her on
questions of jurisdiction, though her
rights would be strengthened by such a
decision.
