PEARY IN vt. GEORGES BAY
the Roosevelt Weatherb0und Since satur-
day Takes New supplies.

SYDNEY, n, s., Nov. 2O.-Commsnder
Peary's Article steamship Roosevelt il now
weatherbound in ST. Georges Bay, n. +.
She has been there since last Saturday
and has taken on a further supply of coal.
Up TO about IL A.. NJ, when this news was
received here, there was some apprehension
felt about the vessels safety. A constant
lookout for her was maintained at the
Government lighthouse at Neat Cove,
sixty miles from this place. which the Roose-
welt must pass before rea ching Sydney.
A lookout was also kept on board the
N~ewfoundland mail steamship Bruce, which
arrived to-day from Port au Basque, but
nothing was seen OF the returning Arctic
expedition. The weather was clear during
the Bruce's voyage
Mrs. Peary, the explorers wife, and
W. S. Quigley, secretary Of the Peary
Arctic Club of New York, who are here,
think that the delay is due to the disabled
condition of the Roosevelt and the con-
sequent reduction in her speed capacity.
Heavy weather and high seas prevailed
for several days after Peary left Chateau
Bay. and IL is supposed that he did not
care to risk pushing the Roosevelt against
the big waves in the Gulf of st. Lawrence
in her disabled condition.
The Roosevelt was expected to leave
st. Georges Bay to-day at noon. ST.
Georges Bay Is 2SO miles from Sydney.

at Beauvoir.
In the letter she INDUCES in tart criticisms
Of Mississippis public men Of the period at
which it was written, six years ago.
One paragraph says her choice for a rest
ing place for her husband was Beauvoir,
but she felt that the grave there would
not be inviolate and she could not afford
the 5000 q year necessary to guard IL.
She says hat while Louisiana and Vir-
ginia were anxious TO have the body. Missis-
sippi as silent until after it had been buried
in Richmond.
The publication Of the letter has aroused

or sound, may be facing starvation. Since

The train is No. Al Limited and was due

the eastern division have been received at

TO CLOSE THE BALTIC IN WAR.
Treaty Said 10 Have Been Agreed Upon
Between Germany and Denmark.
Special Cable DeSpotcH 10 II Sun.

Special Cable DeSpctcH TO TUE Sun.
LONDON, Nov. 2O.-According to the
Berlin correspondent OF the Daily Nail
Denmark and Germany have entered into
a treaty to close the Baltic to fleets hostile
to Germany in time of war. IL will be re-
membered that the value Of such an agree
ment was discussed in Germany some
time ago. 1t is now arranged. and one
OF the objects Of the King Of Denmark's
present visit to Berlin is to ratify it.
Germany guarantees the integrity Of Dem
mark in return for the privilege of closing
the sound between Denmark and Sweden
to any hostile feet trying to attack Kiel or
other Of the Baltic ports. This, according
to the corresp ondent, has been the object
OF the Kaiser s patient counting Of Den
mark in recent years.
The agreement is OF such a character
that official denials OF it's existence can
always be made apparently truthfully.
1t sven makes it possible for Denmark to
put up a make believe protest when the time
for the fulflment Of the agreement arrives.
