priority bstween the two explorers.

NEW YORK. Sept. While Lieu
tenant Robert II. Peary on his Arctic
Eexploratlon steamer, Roosevelt, is on
the way from Indian fIarbor, Labra-
dor, to Chateau Bay on the Straits
OF Belle Isle. the world awaits anx-
iously the details OF his successful trip
to the North pole. of which he gave
information In brief but stirring mes
sages yesterday from Indian Harbor.
Chateau Bay is the nearest point to
indian Harbor. where Peary can
reach the telegraph alne. by which to
tell to the world the story of his dash
to the pole. The Roosevelt was due al
Chateau Bay this morning barring ac-
cident or delay, and when Peary
reaches there he will send confirma-
ton OF his first message giving the re-
suits OF his trip and tell for the first
time how he achieved The goal that
had been his ambition for so many
years.
Indian Harbor Is connected with
the rest Of the world only by wireless
telegraph and the full story OF his trip
could hardly be expected from that
distant station.
A number of messages received
from that station both from Peary
and from his companions of the Arc
tic voyage, show every effort is being
made to inform eager friends and as
IsocIates of his success. From mes
sages received in this city from Peary
and his companions indications. are

was at a banquet in his honor in
Copenhagen. when Peary's despatch
was read to him. DR.. Cook lost little
time in sending to New York a num-
Der of cablegrams. in all of which he
expressed his qualification that Peary
had also reached the pole, and an
nounced his belief that Peary's obser-
vations would amply verify his own
claim that he had been to the further

According TO one Of his messages

singulary gifted and attractive
young Senator, whose Legislative
career has been such as to win
him the commendation of the
State and the approval of his con-

best. He undertook to show, aud
did so most effectively, that
though it may have been that the
West was a good place to attract
emigrants when the West was full
of free land and slavery narrowed
the industrial expansion of the
South, the best place in the world
today for North Carolina young
men was to stay in North Carroll
ma, and he treated the subject in
a most delightful manner an ad-
ded to his reputation as an orator.

Of chat town. 1t appears that
Mr.. Holshouser had requested that
a warrant be issued for the arreet
of a person and Mr.. Lingle declin-
ed to issue 1t, for the reason, he
alleges, that there was no COM
planning witness. The two men
had some words over the matter
when Mr.. Holshouser knocked the
other man down. The case was
tried Friday in the Rewon Court,
and Mr.. Holshouser submitted to
the charge of simple assault. He
was fined $25 and costs.
