WAIT FOR COOKS STORY

Parallel Drawn From Stories Of Two
Explorers Tends to Prove they

Battle Harbor, Labrador, Sept. TO-
(By Wireless). Robert e. Peary die
lated the following statement to the
Associated Press for publication:
81 am the only white man who has
ever reached the north pole, and ! am
prepared to prove it at the proper
time. ! have already stated publicly
that Cook has not been to the pole.
This ! re-affirm and will stand by IL,
but ! decline to discuss the details
here. The result will come out later.

that he had reached the north pole
should not be taken seriously, and that
! have him nailed by concrete proofs

whole story. It would not be policy
for me to enter upon a full debate
With the subject as it now stands. To
do so | would be giving out much in.
formation of which other uses could
be made. | intend to wait until DR..
Cook has issued his full authorized
statements. Up to the present time
there have been only newspaper &C
counts of DR.. Cooks alleged polar
trip, and these may or may not be
accurate. When Dr.. Cook has time
to issue a complete authorized ver-
sion Of his journey it will be the pro-
per opportunity for me to make public
the information which | have. After
that the jury-in other words, the
people and the scientific bodies of the
world-wilI pass judgment on the mat
ter, and there will then be nothing
left Of DR.. Cooks case but his own
assertions that he has reached the
north pole. In the meanwhile, it is
determination not to deal with de-
bates for the reasons already stated.

Co%penhaeen's View on the Discussion.

Copenhagen's View on the Discussion.
Copenhagen, Denmark.--Dr. Cook is
now on his way to New York on the
steamship Oscar ii.
Interest in the Cook narrative has
been quickened among scientists by
the recent publication Of the news
concerning the Peary expedition and
OF Peary's comment as to the accom-
plishment Of Cook. The view general
ly expressed is that Peary's story has
done much to remove the suspicious
which at first were entertained re-
garding the claims of DIR. Cook, es-
pecially as to the speed of his Journey
in the far north and observations he
made near the pole. But after thus
corroborating assertions made by
Cook, Mr.. Peary BADLY asserted that
DIR. Cook had not been near the pole.
From the facts already known con.
corning the two journeys, impartial
observers have extracted the follow.
ing points in the stories of the two
explorers which they say tend to sup
port the belief that the explorers
pierced the Arctic north the same dis
lance, which, of course, would leave
Cook the winner of the controversy.
from the standpoint of those who look
at the feats as sportsmen, inasmuch
as he made his exploration first:

for the peremptory dismissal of

officials of the interior department are

is suffering with an attack of bron-
