Ars Enthusiastic.

Rrusseis. Sept. e.-Helgian newspa-
rers comment with enthusiasm on DIR.
Cooks achievements. They recall
how he came to join the Belgian ex-
petition tn The south pole. On the
very day the doctor. who had been
previously engaged. was notified to
join the party, DR.. Cook cahlea from
New York. asking If by chance there
was Il place vacant aboard the Bel
gica. Instructions were Immediately
sent to him to join the ship at Rio
de Janeiro. DIR Cooks assistance on
that expedition was most valuable,
not only as physician. but as pho
lngrapher and scientist. He was The
life OF the party and worked wonders
in cheering up the Beigians time after
time, when thcir courage failed.

Little Consequence.

Washington. Sept. 2.-State depart
ment officials believe it is of little
consequence to the United States
what lands DIR. Cook has discovered
on his way to the north pole. so far
as actual territorial possessions is con-
Cerned.
II is recalled by the department Of
fieials that .sen since 1898. American
explorers i'll both the Arctic and An
tarctlc have discovered vast areas of
lands to which no claims were ever
made. Admiral Wilkes found In the
Antarctic a territory of more than
100 900 square miles in area and DIR.
Kane made large discoveries in tho
Arctic. but no effort has been made
by the United States TO assert its
rights to them.
General Greeley. some years ago,
located lands which never before were
known to exist.
Many of the worlds greatest navi-
gators have. from time to time, made
their discoveries to which no claim
was ever made. The principal reason
for this. however. is said to be that
the lands were almost inaccessible
and absolutely of no value,
As 10 the particular territory which
DR. Cook is said to have discovered.
1t Was asserted that il was quite prob
able that these lands would be found
to be an extension of the mainland
nf Greenland and If sa. they belong tn
Denmark, At any rate. 1t is extreme
lv improbable. ii Is said, that the
United States would attempt to assert
sovereignty over them.
