New York, Aug. 7.--Commander Robert
E. Peary was at the Grand Union Hotel
to-day, officially, and he actually was
in the hotel for the few spare moments
when he wasn't out OF it. supervising the
fitting up OF his stanch polar ship
Roosevelt in preparation for making an
other attempt to reach the North Pole.
When the commander returned home last
year from his trip it will be remembered
that he was able TO report getting nearer
the pole than any man ever did before.
This time he hopes to reach 1t.
when do you expect 10 leave?' Com
Sander Peary was asked this morning as
he stopped for a moment in his hurried
visits from one person to another with
whom he had business.
Heaven only knows" was the reply.
I am having two large new boilers put
in the Roosevelt, and square sail. so
that she will be able TO make good tipe
before the wind. Just as soon as that is
finished I shall be ready to start"
Then you have raised sufficient funds
10 undertake your trip
NOT " OTflfO ABDUL
THE question of finances is not worry
ing me nearly so much as the question
Of when my boilers viii be ready. I may
have 10 remain here a week. But when
the boilers have been installed and the
sail is in place, then / shall up anchor
and set sail fo~ Sydney. Cape Breton, as
quick as may De. There shall take on
coal and depart into the far North.
"WiH you strengthen the Roosevelt GO
that she will be better fixed TO combat
the pack ice?'
"She couldn't be strengthened in that
! respect She is the strongest boat fol
/ zee lighting ever built
How long do you expect TO remair
| away?"
IF I find conditions as favorable u;
/ they were last year I do not contemplate
remaining absent more than fourteen
\ months But to provide for every Goa
/ tingency ! shall take with me provisions
/ 70 last three years. l shall make nj
change in equipment Ny officers will b'
/ the same"
May Not Be Last Trip.
"win this be your last attempt 10 reacl
1 the pole.
1T is looking too far into the futurt
to ask an answer 10 that"
Commander Peary said that Mrs. Pear
was not going with him on the presen
trip. She will stay for the present q
their home on the Maine coast.
Capt Robert Bartlett will command tn
Roosevelt: John Murphy, the old boat
swain. will sail. and Engineer Warwel
viii be in the engine room; Ross G. Mar
win. Of Bucksport. Me-, is TO be the com
manders assistant.
At present the head Of the expedition
has only twelve or fourteen dogs 70
Arctic work. but these will be increased
in number until he has a pack larg
enough TO cope with the conditions b
will meet IN the far North.
Commander Peary arrived here yester
day from Portland, Ne. He kept himsel
alo0f from visitors, as every minute o
his time has been employed In arranging
for the ROosevelts trip.

The Hague. Aug. z-Before the COM
mission dealing with humanitarian usages
in warfare. Lord Relay to-day gave Great.
Britain's adhesion to the declaration OF
the conference in 1899 against the use Of
dum-dum bullets. Great Britain at the
first conference formally announced that
she would not sign such a decision.
The main purpose of the commissions
meeting was to seek 10 frame regulations
for balloons and other aerial adjuncts
of warfare. Russia. Belgium, and Italy
had proposals which were eventually
formulated by Count Tornieln as follows;
ANY balloons used for destructive pun
poses in warfare should be dirigible, and
be manned by regular military crews.
THE vote on the proposal stood s to
in favor Of it. Eleven delegates alb
stained from voting France headed the
DIRECTORS, maintaining that the best
course would be to simply apply the
rules already existing on bombardment
and the use of mines. Germany shared
considerably in this view"
Saves Undefended Cities.
\ second proposal forbiddIng the drop
ping of projectiles on unattended towns
and villages, or the discharge OF delete
rious gases thereon. but permitting the
dropping Of projectiles over regularly be-
leaguered garrisons was carried by a
vote of so 10 . Nine delegates were alb
sent, which means that they had re-
ceived no instructions from their govern
ments.
The committee dealing with the capture
or destruction of prizes, and the private
maritime property of an enemy's citizens
failed entirely to make any progress. NJ.
Renault. of France, introduced "a Jeclara-
ton that ii was desirable 10 abolish the
practice Of destroying prizes, and THAI the
principle Of indemnity should be estab-
Ashed. Germany. Turkey, and Russia sup
ported the first proposal, but reversed
their votes on the second.
England. through Sir Ernest Satow, de
ciared that the question Of Indemnity was
now under consideration by a British
royal commission, and that in regard "a
the destruction of prizes Great Britain
would maintain the right 10 take advant-
ase Of actual practice.
Choate Opposes Proposal.
Mr. Choate. of the American deIega.
tion, was also against the French pro-
posaL He explained that the Amer
lean law had abolished prize money
Tho vote on the proposal 10 abolish
the destruction of prizes stood Is in
favor 10 4 against it, There were four

CONSIDER CHANGES IN
MUNICIPAL CODE
City Solicitors in Session at
Columbus.
Present Code May be Revised or an
Entirely New One Recon-.
mended.

The revision of, the present one
or the passage of q new municipal
code by the next general assembly
is one Of the objects Of the City
Solicitors Association Of Ohio,
which opened its fourth annual
meeting in the couucl chamorr
Of the City hall.
The principal work Of the after
noon session was the informal DIS
cussion cf some Of the evils Of the
present form of city government
and flaws which have been found
in the code. One of the main
points made against the code is
that il provides FOR too many Off
cials. The solicitors generally
agreed that one director each for
the public service and public safe
ty departments is all that is nee
essary and it was pointed ont by
several speakers that with one
man administration in those de-
parlments the work would be bet
ter done and with less liability to
graft and official misconduct.
