PEARY MUCH DISAPPOINTED
Over the Failure of His Expedition 10 the
 Arctic Regions,

St. John, N. F.-Sept. 22-Full detals of the dreadful sufferngs of Peary. Lee and Henson are now becoming public. It is a cause of wonder how they survived. No other case is known where arctic ex- plorers deliberately took their lives in their hands and ventured upon most exacting enterprise with the full knowl- edge that their supply of food was in- sufficient and that they would probably perish in the attempt. Peary's disap pointmeDt over the unsatisfactory term!- nation of the expedition is unconcealed, but all admit that he is not responsible for the failure. No human being could have done more to make the expedition a success Had he had more men or even sufficient provisions. he would have ac- complshed much more
 All members of the expedition leave for New York by the steamer Silvia, sailing from here Thursday next.
