Commander Peary found trace of DR.. Fred
erick A. Cook of Brooklyn. who reported to the
world six days ago that he had made the same
discovery in April Of the preceding year. This
news reached St. Johns last night through Cap
tain Robert Bartlett. of the Roosevelt Pearys
ship. on her way to Chateau Bay Labrador
Captain Bartlett telegraphad to relatives that
Peary had found nothing to indicate that
DR.. Cook had reached the pole. While Com
mander Peary does not expressly repudiate DR..
Cooks contention in so many words. his state
ment may have an important bearing upon de-
termining the extent of Dr. Cooks explora-
tions.
The Roosevelt was in good condition the
crew all right, Captain Bartlett added. anu he
reported that the schooner Jeanie. carrying sup
plies for the expedition. had met them of the
coast of Greenland.
Coming south the Roosevelt passed Etah and
Upernavik, Greenland. where DR.. Cook had pre-
ceded Peary
The Roosevelt last night was bound for Chateau

The date Peary refers TO Is April of the pres
ent year. as his expedition to the pole did not
leave here until July, 1908,
Another message was received at ST Johns,
n F. from Commander Peary to-day by Sir
Ralph Williams. Governor of Newfoundland.
The message read:
Have discovered North Pole congratulate
Newfoundland on it's part in discovery.
The reference to Newfoundland is due to the
fact that the captain and crew Of Peary's
steamer are Newfoundanders.
A message from Captain Robert Bartlett Of
the Roosevelt was received by his mother at St.
Johns. which says that the Roosevelt met the
Jeanie in Greenland and that all aboard were
weIl 1t is inferred, therefore. that the Jeanie is
following her intentions of remaining another
month in the polar seas for salmon fishing.
