NEW YORK. Oct S-Prof. L L.
Dyche, of the Kansas university, in an
article IN the Sunday Herald on the
Peary expedition, asserts that Peary,
when only few miles from the far
thest point north, was forced to
turn back and thus describes the incl
dents after the failure to find the
caches:
There was nothing more to be done but to
beat a retreat. Ii must have been terrible
moment to Lieut.. Peary when at length he
was obliged to turn his back upon that open
sea of ice. He had reached q latitude of 81 de-
grees AZ minutes north To- miles farther north
than he had reached before Not many
miles farther on and he would have
reached the, farthest north. Had he
secured his alcohol and pemmican
he could have safely and easily
continued his journey He stood upon the
brink of the rocks and looked down and out
over the sea OF ice before him The ice
smooth and inviting: the dogs could
have made fast time; perhaps the pole it,
self might have been reached. Like an
other Moses he looked toward the promised
land, to enter which he had toiled SO long
and faithfully. Sadly he turned his back,
leaving hope and his am bilious dreams behind.
and began his grim terrible march toward An
niversary lodge. For ten years he had strug-
gled to reach the farthest north and now when
he had almost achieved 1t he was obliged
to beat retreat. Slowly the
party dragged themselves backward,
throwing away everything that could tighten
their toilsome march Bedding, instruments.
gums ammunition. extra clothing. a prayer
book. the tent itSeH-in fact everything that
might impede them in their terrible struggle
for life-was abandoned They even tore
from their nautical almanac the three
leaves containing the calculations
then required and threw the rest
away. The line OF march was marked by the
whitening bones OF the dead dogs and the aban-
doned equipments of the party, They had start

ENGLAND JeRKEO UP.
The President and His Cabinet Decide &c
Uphold the Monroe Doctrine in Regard tC
Venezuela.

The President and His Cabinet Decide to
Uphold the Monroe Doctrine in Regard to
Venezuela.
New YORK, Oct 5.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: The
great international question of the
hour is the Venezuelan boundary dis
pute. Secretary Olney has prepared
dispatch to Ambassador Bayard which
will soon bring the matter to an issue.
This dispatch is of most positive
and uneouivocal nature. AS soon as
it shall be placed before the British
government it will raise an issue which
can be settled only by the retreat of one
or the other governments. The stand
taken by the United States in this dis
patch is one that involves the oldest
and most sacred traditions of the Mon
roe doctrine.
Few more serious questions have
presented themselves to an American
administration within recent years.
The decision of the president and his
ca binet advisers, after careful discus.
sion and painstaking investigation,
is that the bold and consistent
policy shall be adopted, and this
policy has been formulated in the dis
patch to Am bassador BayarG. The
dispatch meets England's rejoinder
with reaffirmation of the prin ciples
of the original contention ex-
pressed in phrases which leave
no possibility of doubt as to the
meaning of the earnestness of
the United States. It does more. In
polite but firm and significant words
Secretary Olney declares it to be the
belief of the United States government
that the territorial claims which Great
Britain has set up in Venezuela are
in the nature of an attempt to seize
territory on the American continent
| to which she has no legal right"
