 New York, Sept. 30--Commander Peary's Arctic exploration steamer Roosevelt arrived off Sandy Hook bar at 7:l0 a. m. today. returning to New York from her trip to the Far North.
 Few of the vessels in the lower bay recognized the Arctic steamer as she rounded the hook. or the point of the hook the Roosevelt gave three tri- umphant screams of her siren, and ran up the Peary Arctic flag at her mast head. then the flag of the New York Yacht Club at her fore. and the Am er.can ensign at her mtzzen.
 Commander Peary's ship will take part in the naval parade which to- morrow will go up the Hudson as far as Newburgh.
 The Roosevelt will lie at anchor in- side of Sandy Hook until early to- morrow morning and then proceed to an anchorage in the Hudson river.
 Still clad in the rough clothes worn on the Arctic trip, although his furs had been laid aside. Captain Bartlett stood on his quarter deck this after noon and acted as spokesman for the party. Acting under instructions from Commander Peary, the crew and the scientists and others aboard, will re- main on the Roosevelt until they are released by the chief of the expedi- ton. Captain Bartlett said that the Roosevelt will accompany the naval procession as far as Newburgh to- morrow.
 In outward appearance the Roose- welt looks little like a ship that has braved the ice and storms of the Arc tic. She has received a fresh coat of paint and the bones of Arctic animals that were interwoven in her rattlines have been removed In her hold how ever, she carried & quantity of skins and all the specimens gathered on her cruise. There are no Eskimos aboard but life in the Arctic Is represented | by litter of twelve Eskimo puppies. Captain Bartlett said today that Peary reached the pole because he is the only man the Eskimos will follow call Peary "Pe-uk." meaning Next to God"
 Did you hear that pr. Cook had discoverd the pole when you were at Etah?" he was asked
 eyes. but nobody took the news se- riously."
 Had 1t occurred to you that Cook might be in dangerT'
 We consider Cook of too much ex- | perience in Arctic travel" was the reply, ito get himself into trouble" Captain Bartlett said that he saw the sled which pr. Cook said he used in his fnRl dash for the pole and that personally he would not trust himself | to so tho length of the ship on it. Tne sled did not look to him as if 1t had | had hard usage
