PEARY REACHES BOSTON
MADE NO "GRUESoME FINDS" IN THE
DAMP OF EXPLORER GREELY.
The Chief Introduces His Esquimaux
FamiIy-SOmething of the Aged
MeteOrite Brought Home.

BOSTON, Sept. 26.-The steam whaling
bark Hope. Captain John Bartlett, which
has just returned from the Arctic, arrived
here at $50 o'clock this morning from Sid
ney, c. B. In conversation to-day Lieu
tenant Peary said 'The Hope left Sidney
at II o'clock Wednesday morning, and for
tUnately missed the hurricane which has
been raging the past week. The hundred
ton meteorite in the hold OF the Hope fell
from the skies hundreds of years ago and
has been the source of iron supplies of the
Esquimaux. 1 discovered it in May, 1894
and since that time have been trying to Sc
cure it and bring it to America. The Es-
quimaux call it the saviksoah.' We have
on board six Esquimaux-three men, one
woman, a boy and a girl The oldest of
these is Nook-Tak forty years old, the son
of the old chief, Kooloatoonah, who plot
ted to murder Or. Hayes and some of his
companions. With him is his wife, TIL Tung
All Max Soah, forty-five years old, and
their daughter, All Wee All, twelve years
old. The others are Re Sub. thirty-five
years old, with his nine-year-old boy Nee
nj, and young man, Wee Shak Up, twesl-
ty-one years old. They will remain with
me here this winter to arrange the eth
biological specimens and will return to the
north next summer with me. These people
belong to the tribe from which l shall select
my colony next year.
In speaking of the last expedition Lieu
tenant Peary said: Il consider the chief
things accomplished were the arrangements
with the Esquimaux sor my next years
journey. From this time out they will be Sc
curing furs and other skins for clothing
and have all in readiness for me next year.
so that within twenty-four hours after my
arrival there l shall be ready to embrace
the first opportunity to push on toward
the point wish to reach.
"Then the second event of Importance is
the bringing of the meteorite to this coun-
try. The statements appearing in the pa
pers that we had discovered some grue-
some things about the hut of the Greely
expedition is all nonsense. We found no
graveyard belongings. We found condi-
tiOnS such that we could reach the place
where the Greedy expedition had made its
camp, and although it was Aug. % We found
things inside the hut covered several feet
with snow. Our party began to dig around
and picked up several buttons and a piece
of wood marked Norman, the name of one
of the Greedy party, and several other
things. Those are all the 'gruesome finds
we made.
The Hope will remain in Boston until
Tuesday when we will make for the Brook
lyn navy yard, where l have permission
from the authorities to use the hundred-ton
crane to hoist the meteorite from the hold
of the Hope"

The CABINET MEETING.
The President Fully Determined 10 Stop Blood
; shed in Cuba.

Washington, May 2i.-Thc cabinet
meeting today was not of long dura-
ton. but it was interesting, because
the principal subject of discussion was
that of our relations toward Cuba. The
action of the Senate. yesterday, in
passing the Morgan joint resolution.
declaring state of war in Cuba, was
regarded as a movement that threat
ened if carried out, to the end to in
terfere seriously with the efforts of an
executive branch of the government to
accomplish something substantial for
the Cubans.
1t was clearly manifested in the caki-
net meeting that the President had
come to the determination to use his
powers to stop the bloodshed in the
island so far as this can be done with
out involving the United States in war.
There was some talk respecting appli-
cation of the relief measures in favor Of
American citizens in Cuba now that the
resolution suggested by the President
has passed both branches of Congress.
1t was decided that the delay in the
formal signature of the resolution
would not necessarily prevent the i'm
mediate application of some of the
money to feeding the people who are
represented as in great distress.
There were other matters briefly dis
cussed in the meeting. among them be-
ing the full report of the forestry COM
upon the reservation question
which has caused so much debate in
Congress but no action was taken OH
this subject.
