CAPT. PEARY CONFIDENT
IF HE CAN MAKE THE NORTH SHORE
OF GRANT LAND By SHIP,
He Says, the North Pole VIII Re With
in His Grasp-Return of the Ex-
pIorer from Europe.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-Among the pas
sengers who arrived to-day on the steamer
Philadelphia were Commander Robert F.
Simms, Lieut.. III. A. Bispham, Surgeon
Henry G.. Boyer, u. s. N, who have been
inspecting the barracks system Of British
and German naval stations with a view
to determining the advisability Of build
ing similar barracks at our navy yards
for the housing of seamen to take the place
of receiving ships.
Commander Peary said there was no truth
in the report that he had negotiated for
the purchase of ship for his next expedi-
tion to the polar seas. He said he would
probably 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 II will
make the hardest try to reach the pole that
has yet been made. If 1 can ges my ship
to the north shore Of Grant Land he said,
"I will answer for the rest. am confident
that shall reach the pole. 1 arl familiar
with conditions and / have the experience.
1 know the road thoroughly ami / know
what will have to contend with. Another
reason is that have reached that stage in
my acquaintance with the Eskimos that 1
can utilize them as / see fit, and distribute
them as | desire. IL / get TO Grant Land
also find a way to get back to the ship"
Commander Peary said that his wife would
not accompany him.
While sailing to her berth at the pier the
Philadelphia ran into her pier. carrying
away part OF her bowsprit. The damage
was slight and no one was injured.

LORD ROBERTS TO RESIGN
COMMANDER-IN-CHI OF BRITISH
ARMY is IN POOR HEALTH.
His Position May BE Abolished or
Made Largely OrnamentaI-Lord
Esher's Recommendation.

LONDON, Nov. .2S.-AIthough nopublic an
nouncement Of the fact has yet been made,
1T is understood that Lord Roberts is about
to resign as commander-in-chief. He has
been much more i'll than generally known,
is still abed and the condition of his health
requires him to spend the winter in SOUTH
climate.
The appointment Of the royal commission
to advise the government concerning the
creation of board for the administrative
business of the War Office and the conse-
quent changes involved is generally re-
garded as foreshadowing the abolition Of
the post of commander-in-ch chief, or at least
making the position largely ornamental,
and Lord Roberts is understood to consider
that his present i'll health offers an oppor-
tune excuse for his retirement, thus leaving
the field clear for any changes which may
be recommended for the Kings approval by
the commission. From the terms of the ref
erence to the commission it is quite evident
that it was appointed to find a practical
mendations Of Lord Esher. a member Of the
commission. who urged the abolition of the
post of commander-in-ch.ef and the ap-
pointment Of general officer to command
the army making him responsible to the
secretary for war for the efficiency of the
military forces. Lord Esher further recon-
mended the establishment of an advisory
and executive board presided over by the
secretary for war on the lines Of the Admir-
atty board.

CARTER OUT OF PRISON
FORMER CAPTAIN OF ENGINEERS
RELEASED FROM PENITENTIARY.
Immediately Left Leavenworth for
Chicago, where He VIII Spend
Sunday with His Mother.

LEAVENwORTH, Kan. Nov. ga few
minutes before o'clock this morning Ober-
lin NJ. Carter, ex-captain of engineers,
walked out of the portals of the federal
prison at Fort Leavenworth a free man.
AT the gates he was met by his uncle,
L. d. Carter. and Immediately driven I'm
hack to the Union Station in this city. This
last movement was a ruse to deceive the
newspaper reporters. whom he wished above
all things to avoid. At the station he said
he was going to Chicago to spend Sunday
with his mother, who is anxious to see
him.
While awaiting his train the ex-army
officer conversed freely on large number
of subjects. but always skillfully avoided
the introduction of anything in regard to
his conviction or his plans for the future
He spoke at length about the prison, but
even then turned the talk from himself to
generalities.
In regard to himself he merely said: AZ
am feeling as well as could be expected
under the circumstances. Deprived to an
extent as I was Of exercise 1 could not
hope to be better situated"
The captain looked much older than when
he entered the prison nearly four years
ago. but showed no trace of i'll health
of the Department of J1stice might J,l.ce hn 81
the prison gates to rearrest Carter on an
old indictment, but such was not the case
When he decided to leave the gates were
thrown open to him and he passed ont of
the prison walls for the first time since
he was brought into court here during
his attempt TO obtain a release by an act
of habeas corpus He was attired Just as
he was on his arrival at the place of his
Incarceration.

DREYFUS SECURES A
JUDICIAL HEARING.
Commission VIII Pass on Petition of
Former Prisoner of Devils Isle for
Revision of Sentence.

PARIS, Nov. 2s.-The efforts Of Alfred
Dreyfus to secure a judicial examination
of his case have at last been crowned with
success. After examining the dossier In
the case submitted to him by General
Andre, minister of war, Minister of Justice
Vale has transmitted that document, to-
gether with the petition Of NJ. Dreyfus for
a revision of his sentence to NJ. Durand
the president of a commission instituted by
the ministry of Justice This commission
will pronounce on theradmissibility OF the
request for a revision os sentence.
NJ. Dreyfus owes the favorable action
taken to the careful consideration given
the case by Minister Andre, whose conclu-
sions regarded as in the highest de-
gree favorable to Dreyfus, since they de-
termined the minister OF justice TO refer
the question of a revision to a commission.
Nothing has yet transpired to indicate
that General Andre has discovered docu-
ments of doubtful authenticity or that there
was maneuvering on the part of. the min
istry of war during the Dreyfus trial to
conceal important facts, though assertions
to this effect have been made. 1t is stated
that NJ. Gribetin, formerly principal keeper
of the records of the headquarters staff,
has made important revelations The COM
mission will receive the documents next
Wednesday.

ex-Captain Carter talked Interestingly of
his future.
believing in your innocence as you do,
do you ever think of yourself as a sort of
man without a country?'" a reporter
asked.
Not at ALL" replied Carter. "Why should
1? Just because certain men have done me
a terrible injustice, that is no reason for
me to feel bitter toward my country. No
/ have worked too hard for my country to
feel bitter toward her. She had the best
years of my life. / never wronged her as
poor Nolan did in the story, and / love
her"
.'As to my future" said Captain Carter
Il really have no plans. l must wait first
to vindicate myself before the American
people"
Twill you consider your vindicatibn COM
plete unless you are restored to rank In the
army?"
The ex-captain paused before he an
swered. "Of course" he said, my vindi-
cation would not be complete without that
But that's too far ahead. / can't talk
about that, can't consider il at present"
lit is reported that you have had an
offer from the Holland government to help
i'm the engineering work on the drainage of

GRADUAL REDUCTION
OF THE STATES DEBT.
Auditor Sherrick VIII Soon Pay on
$4,000 That II Not Due
Until 1915.

The auditor Of state will on Monday or
Tuesday pay off $S5.0OO Of bonds issued
by the State April 1, 1895. and which does
not really fall due until 1915. They are
part of number of funding bonds issued
at the time, and sold to the Bowery Saw
ings Bank, of New York. They draw 3k
per cent. interest and by paying them off
at this time the State will make a consid-
erable saving. On Jan. /, 100000 more of
the same bonds will be paid off. The total
State debt is now sl.953,6l5.12. In July last
the auditor paid $3.50, 900 on this debt AL
though a large part of the debt is not due
until 1916 the auditor hopes within
the next two years to be able to liquidate
the entire amount. Three more payments
can be made during Governor Durbin's
administration.
State officials congratulating them
selves over the success of the Republican
administration which is generally wiping
out a debt left as legacy by a Demo-
cratic administration eight years ago. No
cratic administration eight years ago. Dep
uty Auditor Billheimer said yesterday that
the State is paying off the $4,000 of bonds
because ii has the money, and the auditor
feels that it is better to cut off the in
terest than allow the money to lay in the
treasury.
