PEARYC PYRIGHTS
STORY OF VOYAGE
General Trend Is to Believe the
Commander Has Been
UngenerouS.

Paris, Sept. 1O.-The first iustallment
Of Commander Peary's recital of his eX-
petition to the north pole was published
in special edition of the Matin today,
and had an enormous sale
As notice was given that the article
was copyrighted. the other newspapers
handled it with care, but in their com
ment there is noticeable q disposition TO
criticise This is perhaps due to the
fact that Commander Peary's reflections
upon DR.. Cook are considered UnEener-
Gus.
The Temps is especially caustic, and
expresses the opinion that the first part
of Peary's recital is really favorable to
DR.. Cook. II says PeaTy's story is OBJ
scuTe and even inconsistent. pointing
out particularly that whereas his diary
up to March - is scrupulously precise.
thereafter it shows a hiatus and the
dates are pbscured and confusing. For
instance. when the story stops, Captain
Bartlett had been sent back.

Caustic Comment.

"The expedition was then i'm S7.4S, and
still far from the pole the Temps says
"PeaTy now proceeds alone, and Wh2S-
ever suspicion was raised against Dr.
Cook is equally applicable to him.
Peary's recital UP to the present offered
nothing more worthy of cTedenCc than
DR. Cooks. 1t is true, he affirmed. that
polar Obsession creates a sort of mad
ness. and hypothesis, even the most un-
favorable. is permissible against both
explorers"
The Figaro says. Nothing is more
painful than the spectacle OF this quar-
rel on the threshold of glory. It en-
harnesses the sympathy which naturally
goes out to these two great men. Re
turning to civilization. they encounter
Jealousy. envy. calumny. ignoblo bick-
eTing and hatred of success: they be
come the prey of parIor explorers and
savdUts. who raise objections where they
