 New York, Oct. 2.-Evelyn B. Bald win, the Arctic explorer, arrived to-day on the steamship Germanic. MT. Bald win made the following statement:
 There is not word of truth in the report of our not having sufficient sup between myself and Captain Johannsen. He wanted to be the whole thing that's all The trouble first started be- tween the sailing master and the ice pilot, whose name is Arnsen. The ice pilot took up his place in the crows nest on the ship when we were in the ice fields, and should have had, and eventually did have, complete charge of the direction of the ship. The sail ing master objected to the ice pilots holding absolute sway over the move ments of the ship at any time, and that is how the row began. l, of course, took the side of the pilot and saw that he was kept in command while we were in the ice. This pilot had had twenty nine years experience in the ice fields, while the sailing master had had prac- tically none.
 "The expedition went away with for ty-two persons on board and we brought back the same number. The Tram drifted around in the ice for four years, while in one year we did almost as much and established an outpost. have learned one good lesson, though never take a Swede and Norwegian together along with you if you want to avoid trouble The ice pilot was a Norwegian and the sailing master was Swede. There's the whole thing in nutshell"
 In response to MT Baldwin's request for information regarding any charges made against him, he was shown published interview with J. Knowles Hare, an artist on the expedition who recently arrived here. The interview stated that there had been disgrace full row between the captain of the America and Baldwin. and also that there had been an insufficient food sup ply. MT. Baldwin was also informed that F. S. Vineyard, of Derango Col, the first member of the expedition to arrive in America, had said that he would never go north again with MT. Baldwin.
 q don't believe it. said the explorer, "Why, neither of these men has any cause to say anything against me. Every one was treated fairly and no one can say truthfully that they were not We had quite pleasant time of it. taken altogether. A feature was the cinematograph pictures that we took of | various ice scenes. We also took hun- dreds of photographs. Our most excit- ing adventure was when we were com ing back and were caught in the pack ice The ships propeller frame was broken and the rubber and screw bent. Two members of the party were set on by white bears one day and had a nar-
 row escape.
 l we were sending balloons and buoys adrift containing messages continually l Altogether we sent over three hundred messages. Fifteen balloons were sent up, but they never reached their destin- ations. The meteorological observations
 taken and the dredging will be of great l interest to science. We manufactured our own hydrogen gas for the balloons without accident, wbich is another
 thing I think we deserve credit for
 The knowledge gained of air and ocean
 currents will also be of great value to
 science.
 l "I still believe that when the pole is
 reached it will be found to be surround
 led by ice.''

 George Shorkley and his wife, who
 were with the relief expedition that
 went to Tromsoe after the America.
