New York, Sept. 1.-THE Cook
Peary controversy over the discovery
Of the north pole continues with I'M
abated fury. For the time being the
great accomplishment itself is some
what Obscured if not lost in the in
tensity Of the feeling which has been
aroused over the personal aspect of
the two conflicting claims.
Commander Peary's latest dispatch
challenging Cook and characterizing
him as a gold brick added fuel to
the already fierce fire of charge and
counter charge. Each explorer has
his camp OF loyal champions and de-
tenders, centering in the various polar
regions with which they have been
identified, but ramifying throughout
the scientific and public circles gen
orally.
In these divided camps, plans are
being formed on a prodigious scale
for the welcome to be accorded to the
two claimants for polar honors, and
at present plans indicate that both
explorers will arrive about the same
sLime, the demonstrations greeting
them promise to bring to a climax
the present intense feeling Of approval
and disapproval.
PEARY'S LATEST CHARGE.
Peary's latest. challenge to Cooks
claim is viewed with varying shades
of feeling by the supporters of the
two men. It is accepted by both
sides as a direct charge of the IN
tTUthfulness of Cooks narrative. It
is noted also that Peary now adds
the statement that he has proofs of
his statements contrszieting Cook.
To give added emphasis to this, he
twice reeites his possession Of proof
1t Is also noted that his intention to
present this proof is when he Cook
