Peary, II. l.. B1dgman Says, Has
AIready Planned the Trip.

st. John. n. B., Sept. S.-Herbert L. Bridg
man reached here shortly before midnight to-
night. He will arrive in Sydney tomorrow
evening and will then probably have two or
three days OF leisure. awaiting the coming of
the Roosevelt. Accompanying him are a dozen
newspaper men. some of whom will endeavor to
push north from Sydney by water. and thus
intercept the explorer in advance of his arrival
at the Cape Breton town
Mr. Bridgman spoke confidently tonight Of
the possibility of an American Antarctic ex-
pedition. which. he said. Commander Peary had
more or less definitely planned before his last
start northWard.
THE good ship Roosevelt" said Mr.. Bridg-
man, lis likely TO play prominent part in such
an expedition. She is practically and is not
fitted up for commercial purposes. 1t is her
manifest destiny 10 continue in the work Of ex-
ploration."
AS soon as the Roosevelt arrives at Sydney
Mr. Bridgman will apply by telegraph 70 the
Hudson Fulton Celebration Commission in New
York City to aIlot the boat a place in the naval
parade
Mr. Bridgman does not believe that Com
mander Peary will stop at Halifax for the cele
bration which the citizens of that place have
planned. The explorer Will probably proceed
straight to New York although his New York
adviser said that he might have made plans al
ready to go direct from Sydney to his Eagle ISL
and home in Maine for short rest before fac
ing the strenuous welcome that is sure to await
him.
Mr. Brdgman had nothing new. he said to
contribute to the Peary-Cook controversy Mr.
Bridgman was particularly pleased to receive a
telegram from Peary announcing that the
Roosevelt had met the relief ship Jeanie off
Saunders Island on August % No word had
been received from Ler commander since the
schooner sailed northward from st. Johns, N
F.. on August >
Peary will probably reach Sydney on Satur-
day or Sunday, according TO Mr.. Bridgman's
calculations The Roosevelt is not built for
speed. and if short of coal will not do herself
justice.

THE ROOSEVELT DEL 4YED
Sighted off Battle Harbor Yester-
day, but Her Progress is .SIozc.

North Sydney. Cape Breton. Sept. sit was
learned definitely through dispatches sent from
wireless stations in the north tonight that the
ship Roosevelt, bearing the Peary North Pole
expedition arrived at Battle Harbor. which Is
about 175 miles south of Indian Harbor the
steamers first stopping place, this afternoon.
The Roosevelt left Indian Harbor Yesterday
and was sighted of Battle Harbor at 10 a m
to-day. The report that Peary had reached
Blanc Sablon. in the southern part of the Strait
of Belle Isle. was circulated through an order
which the explorer sent to ST. Johns. n F. for
a coal supply, to be sent to him at Blanc sablon
in case he should not be able to obtain sufficient
fuel for his bunlxers at Battle Harbor
There is no telegraph station at Battle Harbor
but there is a wireless equipment. and tonight
Commander Peary was in full charge Of IT, so
that it was impossible to send any messages to
that point.
1t is thought here that Commander Peary may
be able to get through some particulars of his
Far Northern Journey. The Roosevelt encoun-
tered heavy weather after leaving Indian Har-
Dor, and. allowing for recoaling and her slow
speed. it is possible that she will not arrive at
North Sydney before Sunday
1t is not known whether the Roosevelt will
stop at Red Bay. where there is a telegraph
station. but it is considered probable that she
will do So

UyOULD ADYANCE PE4RY.
His Friends Urge That He BE Made
Rear admiral.
LFrrm The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington. Sept. S-Commander Robert f.
Peary's discovery of the North Pole has immedi-
ately aroused his friends to urge that he be pro-
NOTED 10 the rank of rear admiral. but nothing
is known at the Navy Department of any such
intention on the part of those in authority 10
take such a step.
Commander Peary is not an officer Of the line
but a civil engineer with the rank Of com
mander. Not only is there vacancy in the
list of rear admiralsl but Commander Pearv is
far down in the list Of precedence. and would
have to pass through the rank Of captain before
he could be made admiral
1t is, of course, possible that Congress will see
fit to create an additional rear admiral and con
fer the rank and title on Commander Pearv b,,t
it is generally believed that If this additional
distinction is conferred on him 1t will be on1, b,

Washington, Sept S.-Ex-President Roosevelt has
requested that the United States government send

Mr.. Roosevelts request was made in a personal
letter 10 Commissioner George NJ Bowers of the

last night when I heard of Commander
Pearys success. if he says he has been TO
the pole believe him.
l am willing to place facts. figures and
worked out observations before a Joint tri-
ounsl OF the scientific bodies of the world.
IN due course l shall be prepared TO make
pubic an announcement that will eFectually
dispel any doubt. if there can be such. Of
the tact that have reached the pole But.
knowing that I am right and that right must
prevail, I will submit at the proper time my
full story to the court of last resort-the
people Of the world
L will not enter into any controversy over
the subject with Commander Peary, further
than to say that if he says have taken his
Esquimaus. my reply is that Esquinaus are
nomads. They are owned by nobody and
are not the private property of either Com
mander Peary or myself. The Esqmmaus
engaged by me were paid ten times what
they agreed to accompany me for.
AS to the story that Commander Peary
says I took provisions stored by him, my
reply is that Peary took my provisions, OBJ
tanning them from the custodian on the plea
that had been so long absent that he was
going to organize relief stations for me in
case I should be alive. For this have
documentary proof.

BEEF ADVANCES AGAIN.
Choice Cuts Highest in Years
Eastern Demand the Cause.
LBy Telegraph to The Tt'bun. ]

Chicago, Sept. S-The best grades of dressed
beef reached level not attained in years to-
day when the prices of the best ribs and loins
were advanced IL and cents This was the
action of the wholesalers. Tomorrow the re-
tailers will have their inning, and housewives
are going tn be shocked when they make their
bargains for roasts and steaks
The advance to-day brings the wholesale price
about cents pound higher than was quoted
for the same grades Of beef a year ago.
The high price of choice meats is based. it is
said. on the fact that large share Of the best
grades of beef products are being rushed to the
East. causing shortage in supplies available
for local consumption. This reason was not
given out by the packers however
