Greeland expedition Of lSsi-92 and thus be
came intimately acquainted with DIR. Cook,
who was a member OF the party. lie said:
From what I know Of the Peary expedi-
ton and the conditions near the pole, I
can only conclude that Dr. Cook Is making
a sincere statement, but the veraclty OF
Il IL a question OF mental Illusion. I do
not believe that II Is impossible TO reach
the pole, but II seems improbable that one
man can accomplish the feat. As for the
Hsquimaux. their testimony Is vaiuciess.
They do not even know what the North
pole means.
''Peary and Cook were within 200 miles
Of each other and II, as reported. DR.. Cook
made daily observations, a comparison OF
the conditions OF the ice or weather would
mean a great deal. If Peary reports an
unusual condition Of the ice II will partly
confirm Dr. Cooks statement, for with
nothing short Of that could the pole hay e
been reached.
THE ice drift haU never been ~northward,

PARIS, Sept 3.-Henr Rochefort, writ
Ing in La Patrie, expresses his stupefaction
over DIT. Cooks discovery where so many
others have failed, He pointed out that
the explorer must expect to see his con-
quest doubted. There is no group more
jealous than the savants." Mr.. Rochefort
writes.
NJ. De La Grange. dean OF the section
OF geography and navigation of the Acad-
envy of Sciences, declared today that the
extreme low temperature encountered, SO
degrees below zero, centigrade. and the
rapidity Of DR.. Cooks march would tend
to discredit the narrative in the minds Of

has succeeded. will be able to announce
anything extraordinary"

London Believes II.
LONDON, Sept. S.-Dr. Cooks story OF
his discovery Of the North Pole continues
to be the topic OF discussion in London to-
day. The press. the public, scientists and
publicists still are inclined to believe the
authenticity OF the Doctors narrative, but
