Unprecedented interest is manifested
in Washington official and lay circles
over the polar dfeats Of cobk and
peary. The intrepidlty and daring of
these Americans which won for them
the goal of their ambition after years
of toll and hardship In the frozen re-
gions of the earth struck responsive
chord here, where, Of course, IL the
seat of government Which explains the 1
natural keen interest In their success.
The only blemish In the whole affair
which has SO aroused the earth Is the
bone of contention which has arisen
between the rival, explorers. Unlike
our Spanish war heroes. the united
cry of There IL glory enough for ALL"
has not been sounded. Cooks sensa-
tional announcement the first of the
month that he had found the much
coveted pole was received with the
greatest degree of credit. and he was
lauded to the skies for the feat. Five
days later Peary's dispatch came
casting reflection on Cooks claim.
which has started fierce contention
between the admirers of the two.
Peary has one advantage over Cook in
his argument by reason of his naval
connection. and it is but natural to
suppose that his friends are rallying
around him, AS he has been at the
business of pole-hunting SO long,
Stiu. despite the conflicting claims
of the two Adventures. the story of
each Is credited and until Cook is
proven prayaricator. which for mo-
ment is not thought will be the case.

81 because af the complications. Time
alone will tell who reached the pole
first, and before final judgment is
passed the minute records of each ex-
plorer will be gone over to satisfy the
world IF the stability of their claims.
Friends of Peary regret that he has
seen tit to diseredit Cooks feat, as
every fair-minded man is of the onin-
ion that no man, and especially an
American, would 50 risk his personal
reputation as well as . professional
honor. by boldly announcing to the
world the important discovery without
having attained the goal he claimed he
reached.
In army circles good natured handi-
mage is being INDUCED in at the eS-
pense of the north pole, and numerous
suggestions as to its use by the gov
ernment are being made. 4 corre-

Commissioner Haarer declared that
even with brick expert the city could
not dispense with the inspectors en-
