regarding a reception for DR.. Cook. He
has not seen fit to take any action In the

PORTLAND, Me-, September 15.-"Un-
able to accept any present invitations for
Portland reception. My friends In New
York have first claims"
In these words Commander r. e. Peary

Battle Harbor today.

1900 was in debt for money advanced
for his arctic Investigations.
Commander Peary has received an in
vitation to address the National Geo
attend the Canadian camp dinner in
New York in November. Bangor. Me-,
wishes to offer a welcome to the ex-
plorer between trains. and Portland is
also anxious to entertain him. To these
invitations Commander Peary has re-
piled that it will be impossible for him
to make any engagements now; that
the Peary Arctic Club and New York
city are to have first claim on his atten-
ton.
On board the Roosevelt are eleven
dogs. three of which were actually at
the north pole with Commander Peary.
One OF these three, called Apudingwah.
was also with him in his farthest north
dash three years ago.
General Health Good.
The health of the party in general was
good according to the statement Of DR..
John Goodsell, the surgeon of the expedi-
ton. Two Eskimo children were born
and are living. There was an absence of
scurvy. due chiefly to the experience of
the commander in the selection of food
and supplies necessary for the health and
care OF the party.
In addition there was an abundance of
fresh meat. which the expedition was
able to obtain through Commander
Peary's knowledge Of the country. Bart
lett. Marvin. Mcmillan and Borup suf-
fered from frostbitten feet more severely
than the others.
Frost bites in the arctics are treated
with borated musk OK fat and are well
protected from the cold. Two of the Es-
KINDS were disabled at Cape Columbia,
one suffering from frozen feet and the
other from a severe Inflammation partly
due to the same cause
DR.. Goodsell gave them surgical atten-
ton and left them In their tgloos until his
detachment returned from the northern
trip He supplied them with ample pro-
visions. They greeted the return Of the
party with manifestations OF great de-
light.
One Of the disabled Eskimos was hauled
on the sledges to the ship at Cape Sheri-
dan, a distance Of ninety miles. On this
trip DR.. Goodsell slipped and strained the
tendons of his foot, and on his arrival at
the Roosevelt found an Eskimo with a
fractured shoulder. There were some
cases of snow blindness also.
Commander Peary was i'll for one day,
about six weeks previous to February 10.
which was the day Capt. Bartlett left
the Roosevelt with his division for Cape
Columbia. the advance guard Of the dash
to the pole. The surgeon was a little con-
cerned about Commander Pearys illness
on account OF the approaching tramp, but
1t proved to be nothing serious and all the
men were in the pink Of condition when
the start was made.
Prof. Mcmillan was confined to his bed
for a month on the trip through Smith
sound Immediately after leaving Etah.
He suffered from a moderate fever OF
rheumatic type, which Is doubtless Pc
culiar to local conditions. Goodsell also
suffered from the same complaint.
