several of the important cities Of the
United States. The first lecture will be
delivered at Carnegie Hall next Monday
evening under the auspices Of the Arctic
Club Of America.
He received more than thirty callers.
a dozen of whom were book publishers,
who wanted to get out the volume the
explorer is preparing on his trip in quest
of the pole. or agents of lecturing tours
or vaudeville circuits, who desired to
book the doctor for engagements in cities

Knowing Commander Peary as I do. I
am not surprised that he should have
been SO hasty in his attack on DIR. Cook.
Commander Peary is courageous and able,
an experienced explorer and scientist Of
high attachments.
He has devoted the best years Of his
life to the quest for the north pole, and
such an outburst of temper when he
learned that another man had done the
same thing, only more brilliantly, and
had done it first.
''As a matter of fact, Commander Peary
had every chance. He had the advanta 60
of fine equipment and his convincing
manner had given to him the support OF
many men Of wealth.
'If he were here I am sure that he
would empha tically dissent from my
opinion-he ought to have found the pole
long ago. 1 do not see that he has any
grievance because after he has had the
field to himself for SO long another man
accomplished the feat.

for this achievement they should be hon.

man of sterling honesty, modest to a fault
and absolutely devoid of egotism. His

anybody who knows him could question
his word In any manner is more than
I can understand and believe there will
be none who will doubt him.
What he said with regard to the prep
aration for his voyage to the north is abb
solutely true. He was endeavoring to or
ganize an expedition and he asked me to
accompany him. 1 should have done so
had it not been impossible on account of
my private affairs TO leave at that time.

offered to pay all the expenses of the ex-

any matters that he could give out.
Gen. Hubbard of the Peary Arctic Club
is supposed to be Peary's adviser and
counsellor in the controversy with Dr.
Cook. When asked yesterday afternoon
whether he should give out any news fol-
lowing his meeting with Peary, he said
pointedly:
Il did not come here to give out any
news, but on the contrary to get some"
It was supposed from this that he met
Peary in order to gain from him confiden-
tial information Peary had bearing on
the controversy. Commander Peary has

he had information bearing on the Cook
claim which he intended to use when the
time was ripe.

that the matter could not be referred

that?"

to the Mayor and Mcclellan. but with
no effect, and the bill finally had to
pass over the Mayors head. In con.
nection with this matter Logan made
some mysterious hints, which sound
ed much like threat, to the effect
that If the Mayor kept on refusing to
act there would soon he something do
ing.
The Kaplolani Estate wrote through
John II. Colburn stating that while the
building committee had reported that
the Mcintyre building was the only
suitable one to be found for County
Offices, the Kapiolani building had ex.
cellent accommodations, which were
available at much cheaper rates. Col.

us, and that our offer be thereafter I'M.

Mcclellan said that he had looked
into the haplolani building. as well as
the old Bulletin building on Merchant
street, and had found that the assem-.

Quinn clinched the matter by say.
ing that II was no use discussing II, as
the Board had already leased its pres,
ent rooms and could not change, even
If 1t wanted to.
Logan said that some items had been
omitted from the appropriation bill.
He moved a resolution covering the
following additional items:

These items total $3.50 for the six
