NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-Cook de-
NAMED with his family in his suite at
the Waldorf-Astoria until last evening,
when he submitted to a severe cross
examination by forty newspaper rep
resentatives. The material answers
didn't dltrer greatly from the original
recital, but he unhesitatingly an
swered questions.
Asked to show his diary he immed-
lately consented to pass around the
notebook containing 176 pages, each
filed upward of fifty lines OF pen
clled writing of the most minute
characters. The book, he said, con-
tained more than hundred thousand
words. He has other books embrac-
ing observations other than data.
The intervlewers were severe re-
garding details, but nothing indicated
the travellers memory had failed to
enumerate the particulars. The only
time he refused to reply was when
Peary was mentioned. Then he said
he had always, and did now, consider
Peary his friend, but the controversy
in connection with his rival could
! wait.
When requested to say when he
met Harry Whitney, Cook said he
preferred to let Whitney tell his owr
story. HIS reasons for imposing Sc
crecy on Whitney. Pritchard and the
Eskimos were prompted by desire
he himself should first tell the worlt
of his discovery, and having done tne
work, he said he was entitled to re
late how it was carried out.
Asked whether he was willing te
meet Peary in debate, Cook replied:
AS far as am concerned, the Peary
incident is closed. Peary is not die
tator of my affairs, and don't care te
say anything further about him"
What is your opinion of the stor,
told by the negro Hanson of the in
formation he obtained from your
Eskimos?'
The Eskimos were bound down b!
me not to tell any one where the,
had been. hanson's testimony is en-
tirely founded on hearsay."

MONTROSE, Colo, Sept. 23.-All
doubts as to where Taft stood in the
Roosevelt policies had been set to rest
by his vigorous endorsement of the ir-
irrigation and waterways plans of
Roosevelt during the past twenty-four
hours. At Colorado Springs he made
strong speech in favor Of the plans.
"We have made great advance under
the influence of my predecessor, but
we must not STOP" He took up the
question OF conservation and reclama-
tion and the preservation of forests
and deepening OF waterways and
pledged his efforts in the scientific
solution of these questions. He said
that they could not be brought to a
consumation in one or two administra-

devoted to carrying out these projects.

prayer in every heart, and a silence
fell over the house that was intense
