PEARY AN AUTOCRAT
HE DID NOT TREAT THE SCIENTISTS
OF HIS PARTY PROPERLY.
Gave Them Poor Food and Made
Them Eat Apart from Himself and
Wife-Hfs Secretary's story.
PHILADELPHIA.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 27.-Since the re-
turn of the Peary expedition from north
Greenland on Tuesday last there have
been stories of dissatisfaction on the part
of the members concerning Pearys con-
duct OF the enterprise and the quality and
quantity of the food he compelled them to
eat. The interview had with Mrs. Peary
in Washington. in which she said she
at loss TO understand the complaints,
has caused much discussion here, and this
afternoon the members of the party held
a conference at the Bingham House to
consider the advisabilty of making a state
ment of their reasons for dissatisfaction.
The conference was held behind closed
doors and lasted several hours. AT its con-
clusion the members declined to state what
had been decided upon further than that
IL was not the intention to make answer
TO Mrs. Peary's statement at this time.
The party has not yet disbanded, however,
and further consultation may be held to-
morrow.
w. l.. Swayne, who was one of the party
and went out with Peary as private secre-
tary. said: 1--WE are under no contract
with Peary. AS regards dissatisfaction
with his management, the only agreement
that exists was made by board ship
We then agreed that we would say nothing
unless Mrs. Peary opened her lips. This 1
see she did yesterday / consider myself
at perfect liberty to speak. AS for my con-
tract with Peary IL has been broken by
him repeatedly during the course of the
epedition. He agreed that We were TO
be treated as gentlemen. For one thing
can say that Lieutenant Peary himself
certainly did not act as gentleman
among gentlemen. see Mrs. Peary has
something TO say about the food. Let me
give you our menu during the last two
months of our stay while we waited for
the relief party. This menu was the out
come of Peary's arrangements and was
due to insufficient provisioning in the be-
ginning:
by Peary with sugar and sparlng hand;
an occasional spoonful OF Boston beans out
of can; coffee.

Jacksonville Still Cut Off from South

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept. H-Storm
news is very meager. Jacksonville is still
cut off from communication with South
Florida and since Tuesday not a word has
been received from east coast points where
the storm is supposed to have been most
severe. All the wires leading to the south
are down and no trains from that section
have come in since Tuesday. Nothing has
been heard from st. Augustine since Tues
day and there are rumors that the ancient
city has suffered greatly. Communication
with the south will probably be opened up
by tomorrow. 1t is certain that the orange
crop has been greatly injured but il is
hoped no lives have been lost In Jackson
vile the damage, which amounts to about
s75,000 is being rapidly repaired. The wreck
OF the new union depot in process of con-
struction was the most serious loss.

ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. N.-The specula-
ton here regarding the acceptance or dec
lination of candidates nominated by the
Democratic State convention continues. A
peculiar situation confronts Senator Hill.
BY resolution of the convention the chair
man was directed to appoint committee
OF five members to notify nominees of their
selection. Senator Hill. being jointly the
presiding officer and the selected nominee
for Governor, could not very well appoint
a committee to notify himself. Clerk De
Freest, of the State committee, and the
secretary-n-chief of the convention, VIII
appoint the committee tomorrow. or
course. none of the candidates will show
by giving their answer to the people before
the visit of the committee. Senator Hill is
resting quietly at his home near here. he
was in his law office to-day, but saw only
called. To reporter he said: Il have ar
rived at no decision yet as TO this nosnina-
ton forced upon me- In fact, have not
been officially notified, and until / am l
have hardly had time to think over the
sensa tional events of yesterday" Senator
Hill has received hundreds of congratula-
tory telegrams from people all over the
country. Some of them are in the forms OF
petitions asking him not to decline the
nomination.
There is a great deal of doubt as to the
course that will be taken by Justice Gay
nor. the nominee for Judge of the Court
of Appeals. 1t is thought that he will not
make his final decision until he knows wnat
Hill will do. 1t is not doubted that Con-
