New York, Nov. 28.-Among the pas

Peary. Lieutenant Commander William
Sims, Lieutenant II. A. 3ispham and Sur
geon Henry B. Boyer, U. S. N, who have
been inspecting the barracks system OF
British and German naval stations.
Commander Peary said there was no
truth in the report that be had negotiated
for the purchase of ship for his next ex'
pedition to the polar seas.
Commander Peary said he would prob
ably leave here in July and try to reach
the north shore of Grant Land and camp
there until the coming of spring when the
dash to the pole will be attempted.

Owing to excitement in respect to the

great desire to see live President. l told
her that the president was doubtless very

She intimated that am one OF the great

spect and by my wifes suggestion as to
my greatness, we venlured to the White
douse. We were received very cordially.
I informed the President that my visit
had no political or pie-hunting signlh'

President out on Virginia affairs very
freely. 1t is surprising how we'll he is
