NORTH POLE DISCOVERED.
Frederick A Cook, Of New York, Spent two
DAYS on the Spot.

Copenhagen, Sept. 3.-All Den
mark tonight is awaiting the ar
rival of Dr.. Frederick A. Cook.
A regal welcome awaits the man
whose announcement from Ler-
wick, on September 1, that he had
discovered the North Pole startled
the entire civilized world.
The steamer Hans Egede, on
which the explorer is returning
from the frozen North, passed
Cape Skagen, the northern ak
tremity of Denmark at 2 o'clock
this afternoon and is expected to
steam into the sound late tonight
and to dock here tomorrow morn
ing.
Added interest has been lent the
occasion by the definite statement
of DR.. Cook in an iterview off
Skagan to-day that he is able to
submit data, which will prove be-
yond cavil that he has attained
the goal which for centuries had
been the object of explorers. He
said he was quite prepared to learn
that jealous persons were at work
endeavoring to cast doubt upon
his work but that he stood ready
to give over his figures for a test
by any scientific authority.
DR.. Cook told the correspon-
dent that he had seen nothing of
the expedition of Commander
Pesry. He said there was no land
at the Pole-only water, the depth
of which he could not guage.
The Danes will not be alone in
welcoming Dr.. Cook, for Copen-
hagen is filled with visitors. Ev-
cry hotel is overcrowded tonight
and all the vehicles in the city
have been engaged to take the
people down to the steamer land
ing tomorrow. A committee of
the Royal Geographical Society
has chartered the steamer NJ. G..
Melchoir and will proceed out in
the sound to meet the Hans Egede
and Maurice E. Egan, the Ameri.
can minister, are stopping to-
night on board W. Gould Brokaw's
yacht Fedora with the intention
of accompanying the steamer to
port.
CAN PROVE ACHIEVEMENT.
Skagen, Denmark, Sept. "a
newspaper correspondent who
went on board the Hans Egede
from the pilot steamer off here
washable to obtain a few words
with DR.. Frederick A. Cook. The
explorer ascribed his success to
the fact that he made use of the
old methods, namely, Eskimos
and dogs, and that he lived like
an Eskimo himself. The doctor
then gave a hurried sketch of his
expedition In which he said:
"Going northward I struck first
q westerly course from Greenland
and then moved northward,

INTERVIEW WITH EXPLORER.
London, Sept. "a special dis
patch received here from Skagen
says:

glasses a vision of a small man in
a dark suit and;peaked cap shad-
ing lis eyes with his hands, as if
strainlng to see the welcome civil
ization after years in icy exile. It
was DR.. Cook, the explorer, whose
name is on every tongue. He was
chatting with the captain on the
bridge, now smiling, now waving
his hand. I was allowed to board
the Hans Egede.
''Somebody gave DR.. Cook a
bouquet. Tears dimmed his eyes

rance. It's years since 1 have

with a culver of emotion in his
voice.

said.

explorer continued, that I am in
better condition than at any time
and look forward with an appetite
to the festivities that are promis-
ed me. My dinner has been poor
these last few years and l shall
have to make up for it.
"Dr, Cook then briefly described
his journey. Regarding his dis
covery he said:

was the great day. We looked for

"The last stretch was the easiest
I aver made in my life, although 1

shouted like a boy. The Eskimos

at my gaiety. They did not share

ing story of how his men were mis-
treated by the Giants before the big
game. Chance said:
Fearing that they could not beat
us even with the advantage of play
ing on their own grounds. the Giants
deliberately planned to cripple sew
eral of our men before the game. For
this purpose they hired dozen prize
fighters and the starting Of a fight
would have been the signal for them
to jump in and beat up some of our
hest men.

with a bat, was sent out for the
purpose of starting a fight with me.
but we were on to the game and held
ourselves In check. II was not our
intention to allow the Giants to win
the pennant by knocking us out. AL
though in possession Of every advan-
tage, they were afraid to tackle us
with our team intact.
I'VE had not played for three days,

dumped of the cars, and denied the
privilege of practicing before the
game. It was the dirtiest piece Of
