LECTURE AT BRUSSELS.


DR.. Cook VIII Again Tell Story at
Belgian Capital.
- Brussels, Sept. 6.--It has been defj-

nouncement here. that DIR. Frederick A.
Cook will deliver lecture at Brussels,
Sept. 80. Elaborate preparations will
be made to greet the employer. He
will be received by Prince Albert of
Belgium and perhaps King Leopold.
Professor Lecointe, director Of the
Brussels observatory, insists that the
explorer can easily prove his facts to
the satisfaction of scientists.

STRENGTHEN CLAIMS.
English Press Comments ON DIR. Cooks
Feat.

Feat.
London, Sept. 6.-"Dr, Cooks state
ments In Denmark in support of his
claim have rather strengthened than
otherwise the doubts as to the value
of his observations.
This sentence from The Morning Post
is representative of the attitude still
held by a section of the London daily
newspapers. which. while insisting on
the necessity of preserving an open
mind pending the production of the de-
tails of DR.. Cooks scientific obserya-
tions and diaries. express some sur
prise that the latter have been sent to
the United States instead of brought
with him for immediate publication.
The Daily Telegraph, which hitherto
has been a whole-hearted defender of
Dr. Cook, and even today declares that
hts reticence Is both reasonable and
discreet. confesses that any delay, how
ever Inevitable. is bound to act detri-
mentally to the explorers immediate
nosition. 1t further points out that a
similar controversy might have arisen
over Captain Amundsens penetration
of the Northwest passage, had 1t not
been so easy to prove.
The DAILY News. in an editorial
strongly supports DR.. Cook. 1t thinks
he has emerged triumphantly from a
severe cross examination and that even
probable or absolute proof that he
reached the pole will never be forth
coming.
The Daily Chronicle, in highly
sx entIcal article, asks how Cook sent
his diaries to America, and why. II he
was able to send them to America
from Greeland. he did not go to Amer
lea hrst himself? 1t points out that

Cooks says positively that the pole
was somewhere within a circle of soc
feet radius within which he himself
was standing.
"As these observations could be
