OF
PEARY'S DASH.

Later messages from Commander Peary
10 President Jessup of the Peary Arctic
club. told how he had reached Hopedale,
Labrador, and was having his steamer
return voyage from the farthest- north
point ever reached by human being had
been one or incessant struggle with ice
foes, storms and head winds. Two rnd-
ders. sternpost, two blades OF the pro-
peller, four topmasts. spanker boom and
one boat had been carried away and they
had been obliged 10 use interior portions
Of the ship 10 keep the fires going after
the coal supply was exhausted. Peary
also announced his purpose TO make an.
other attempt TO reach tho pole after get
ting fresh supplies and making repairs.
His dash was impeded by several tons of
dog meat spelling, and the loss OF other
supplies by breaking OF ice. Mrs. Peary
who started with her son To meet the ex-
plorer, at sydney or farther north. said
no words could express her elation and
happiness over the fact that her husband
was "the hero OF the most successful po-
lar expedition in the history OF the
world"
One important scientific result OF this
expedition is tho explosion OF the theory
OF palaeocrystic sea. This theory arose
from the observation OF peculiar foe ice
in the ocean north OF Grantland by the
British expedition under Capt Mares i'm
1876. Hence the name OF this part of the
Arctic ocean. which means a sea of an.
cient ice IL was thought that IL wai
covered with an expanse Of enormously
thick ice and that the sea was shallow
the foes resting on the bottom. Peary
found the foe Ice thick, but not OF the
ancient variety supposed by Mares. The
ice as a sledge route failed him utterly,
as IL broke up into big and little isla nds

Mr.. STRAUS
COERCED THE SULTAN.

The story of how Mr. oscar 8. Strsus,
the new secretary Of commerce and labor,
dealt with the Sultan OF Turkey in the
matter OF the claims made by the United
States government for the destruction OF
American mission property during the
Armenian massacres, is told by Charles
Johnston I'm Harper's Weekly.
THE American claims were not great
They boiled down 10 100000. All the other
nations had far larger claims. but they
could or would do nothing. 50 MIR. Straus
went to his colleagues and asked whether
they would join I'm a protest, or at least
back him up II he made move.
They finally agreed, and, after con,
vincing the vizier or the Justice oil our
claims, got an audience with the sultan
Mr.. Straus said 10 the sultan, in effect;
Your Majesty. my claims are as followsi
and ] am fully persuaded OF their accur'
Acy and Justice. Nevertheless. IL Is posi-.
bic to make mistakes. so | will make this
proposal: Either Turkey shall admit our
claims and pay us the indemnity we de-
mand. or submit the whole matter to ar
bitration
"To submit to arbitration would have
been 20 raise before an impartial tribunal
the whole question OF the completely or the
Yildiz Kiosk i'm the Armenian massacres
and that was not quite what the sultan
wished, so the American claims were ad-
mitted and the sultan promised TO pay
them. Months elapsed Mr.. Straus got
another audience and another promise
but no payment. Months agai nelapsed
There was a third audience and thiro
promise. but still no payment. At thi'
point Mr. Straus thought IL best 10 re.
turn TO Washington 10 push the other emo
Of the affair. The matter was taken ur
with the Turkish minister here. and II
was pointed out that the relations be-
tween Turkey and the United States were
greatly strained. and that it was probable
that they would have TO he broken. This
meant, Of course. that the Turkish min
lister would be recalled, and he saw the
force of the argument. Shortly after the
matter was settled"
