MOVEMENTS OF PEARY.

St. Johns, Sept. 10.-Peary is ex- pected to sail from Battle ~arbor. Labrador, tomorrow. Unless it is necessary to put into Blanc Sablon for a fresh coal supply. Peary will probably not stop at any point until he reaches North Sydney next Mon day or Tuesday.
 The Peary-Cook controversy is of intense interest throughout New Foundland. Today Capt Moses Bart lett. who commanded Cooks schooner. tine John R. Bradley. which was fitted out at Gloucester. said: Cook was correct in stating that Peary took Cooks provisions after the steamer Erik returned to Brigus last fall. Three of her crew who belonged to Brigus told me that when Peary ar rived at Etah he took possession of all the stores I ha2 left there the previous fall for Cook, against his re- turn from the north. These men say they helped move the stuff from where I left it. The men are now on the Labrador coast. The supply consisted of two dory loads of stores, food and oil, which our crew piled on the DtdCH AL HllitS north, where Cook landed, I previously put ashore two years supplies for Cook and five tons of hard coal. Our vessel was laden with stores and ten tons of hard coal. When Cook landed we gave him half our coal and all the stores except what we required to bring us home. Cook could not steal Peary's provisions. because Peary had none on any part of the coast. having used up all the provisions left by the previous expeditions"
 Richard Pike, chief engineer of the steamer Erik, which served as an auxiliary vessel for Peary last year by conveying stores and coal to Etah to supplement those on the Roosevelt, said tonight that Peary did not take Cooks provisions nor were they put on board Peary's ship. Pike said: 'Peary left two men of the Roosevelt, boatswain and fireman. with an inn mense accumulation of supplies at Etah when the Roosevelt went north. These men, apparently by mistake. took some of Cooks stores" SnoNler member of the Erik's crew said the stores were taken by an understand ing with Francke, Cooks assistant, in part payment for passage from Etah to the states.

COOK STARTS
 at F0R NEW YORK sf E-HF
Willing to Compare Records With Peary
FAREWELL TO DENMARK l

Copenhagen, Sept 10.-Cook left Copenhagen this afternoon on the first stage of his journey homeward, apparently happy and confident, and with the cheers of great crowd ringing in his ears. Formal fare wells were exchanged between Cook and committees of the geographical society and the University of Copen- hagen. As he departed the explorer stood alone on the high bridge. of the yacht Melchoir. which is taking him to Denmark. and raised his hat in response to the shouts. The yDcht will arrive at Christiana tomorrow. Cook will board the stamship Oscar II for the United States. He expects to arrive in New York September 21.
 pleasant ceremony in the cabin was attended by Egan. rector of the university, and a number of geogra- phers. Admiral Dekichelieu thanked Cook for returning to the United States under the Danish flag. Green eyed envy and jealousy" the admiral said, ''are doing their envenomed work, but we in Denmark believe in you absolutely"
 'I thank you" said Dr. Cook, flor the great honor that is mine in going home on a Danish steamer. Since l can not reach home on an American steamer or an expedition vessel, it is fitting that I should go on a steamer of the land which has given me such happy days. You have made my re- turn so happy that the tortures of the past are forgotten. You have been my friends; you have fought my battles. With full heart, l say farewell to the people of Denmark"
 Speaking to a correspondent, Cook said: 'T am perfectly willing to put my records before the American Coast and Geodetic survey to be compared with those of Peary. but l do not see why I should ask for such comparison first
 Asked if he had any message for the public, Dr. Cook replied: Don't you think it would be rather pre- sumptous? All I want is to be home to my wife and children and to finish my work

COOK AND MT. MeKINLEY

Hamilton, Mont, Sept 10.-Whether Dr. Cook scaled Mount Mckinley or failed to do so, Ed Burrill, who was guide with the Cook party, refuses to say. Burrill denounced the action of the other members of the Cook party for the statement they made in relation to the affair. 'I was the only man with Dr. Cook at the time in question and statements by other members are not made of their own personal knowledge. But I do not see what that trip has to do with him discovering the north pole. I do not care to be drawn into this contro- versy, but at the proper time l will make my statement regarding the Mount Mckinley trip"

BRANCH LINE TO BE BUILT.

Seattle, May 22.-Great Northern
railroad officials announced today
that branch line of the road will
be built from Wilson Creek south to
Cornell, the junction of the Northern
Pacific and the Oregon Railroad and
Navigation company. The move is
one that has been projected by the
Hill lines for years and is said in the
local Offices to make the first step
in the contest for eastern Washing
ton territory between the Hill ana
Milwaukee interests.
Some consideration has been given
to the building of such a branch
line" said NJ. J. Costello, assistant
general traffic manager of the Great
Northern, land preliminary survey
has been made. l expect to see the
road built
The branch line. as planned, will
depart from the main line as Wilson
Creek and will follow the Crab creek
valley until it swings off to the east
of Moses lake, traversing the low
country east of the Saddle mountaine
and connecting wit hthe Northern Pa
cific main line at Connell.
The branch line, which affords a
new outlet for the wheat farmers of
Grant and Douglas counties, Wash,
will be continued ultimately from
Connell to connect with the North
Bank road below Pasco, securing a
water grade for wheat trains from
the fields to the Coast

Mail Limit
 is increased

Word was received at the local post office this week from c. R. Corbnsier that arrangements had been made whereby 400 additional pounds of mail would be sent to Hot. Springs on the stage due this evening.
 It is very probable that this extra weight is second class mail which has been stalled in Fairbanks for the past w>weeks and most of it is no doubt destined for Nome and lower river points. There are now nearly two tons of lower river mail in the Fairbanks office, for the delivery of which the postal authorities have made no pro- visions, and this first extra consign- ment may be regarded as an indication that the government has realized the inadequacy of it's present service and is taking steps to improve it by increas- ing the weight limit.

BONAPARTE
 WON'T TALK

Washington, Jan. 22,-Attor. ney General Bonaparte today re fused to testify before the special congressional committee relative to his absolving the Tennessee Coal & Fuel Co. and the Ameri- can Steel Co. for their merger, which was conceded to have been contrary to the federal laws.
 At the time Bonaparte released this merger from prosecution it was supposed that it was done in order to gain evidence by which other convictions could be se- cured, and the inquiry by con- gress is now made as a result of Roosevelt's message to congress in which he asks for a secret ser. vice corps to investigate the con- grefsmen. .-.... ..a

Ex-JUDCE
 ARRESTED

Tacoma, Jan. 22. Merritt J. Gordon, ex-chief justice of the the Washington supreme court, was arrested here yesterday charged with the embezzlement of railroad funds. :
 Judge Gordon was the counsel for the Great Northern railway, and it was due to him that Judge Milo A. Root of the supreme court was investigated. It was claimed that Gordon paid Root large sums of money for which the latter handed down decisions favorable to the railroads.
 The arrest of Gordon so soon after the retirement of Root has caused a great sensation in off cial and political circles of the state, and many interesting dis closures are anticipated if Cor don ever comes to trial, as it is claimed by his friends that he fused money to influence legisla- tion, and as & consequence can not show just where he placed it.

Freight Sugar
 to Fairbanks


 Robert Schaber of Rampant passed through Hot Springs Thursday on his way to Fairbanks with two and half tons of sugar which he is freighting to the latter city for some of the Fair banks merchants.
 Sugar is very short in the upper city and is being freighted from Circle and Valdez as we'll as from Rampant. The grocerymen of that city fell far short in their estimates of the consumption of this commodity for the coming year and as result it is very scarce and the price is now in the neighborhood of thirty cents per pound.
 Even ut that price it is impossible to buy it in large quantities as the mer- chants are selling only limited amount to each person.

Barrett Sack
 From InnOkO

Wm. Barrett, accompanied by Ed. Keogh, arrived in Hot Springs Satur- day on their way to Fairbanks from the Innoko. They remained in the city recuperating from their long mush until Tuesday morning when they started on the last stage of their jour- ney. They are travelling light and elch mAn has team of seven dogs, thus being able to make very good time.
 They report very hard journey to this city, as the snow in the Innoko district is very deep and is continually drittin. over the trail making it nec- essary for travellers to snowshoe most of ths distance to the Yukon river, where there is more travel.
 Mir. Barrett is much pleased with the outlook of the camp from mining standpoint and is acquiring all the ground he can on the creeks. He is not, however, out to boost the camp, prefering to leave that to others, as he is satisfied with the progress the camp Is making and does not desire to see another stampede to the country like the one that occurred last summer, the only result of which was to give the the country black eye from which it will be 8 long time recovering.
 Many new creeks have been staked this, winter and on the older streams pay has been found much better than was expected after astsummer's work. The pay they are now finding is much more regular than was formerly known and would indicate the existence of a regular paystreak.
 Mir. Barrett reports business as hav- ing been very good with himean he is now on his way to the outside where he will order his stock for the coming year. The perishables he will have brought down from Labergs in the spring, but the bulk of his stock will be shipped in by way of the Kusko- quinn which he considers the best way  into the country.
 While he is on the outside his busi- mess in the Innoko is being looked after by his brother John who is very much pleased with the camp.
 Mir. Keogh will remain in Fairbanks only few days when he will return to the Innoko, taking in some machinery supplies which arc badly needed there at present. He will also see to some fseighting which Mr. Barrett is hay ing done from Yukon river points.
 Billy is as breezy and debonair as ever and when dressed in his Indian mushing clothes is the most striking , piece of frontier bric-a-brac seen in the country since Bunch quit the lightning express to Richardson. Billy was very anxious to reach Fairbanks in time for the anniversary of the Panama club, of which he is an active member, which iS celebrated tonight.
