WHITNEY SAYS
BOTH FOUND POLE
New Haven Hunter Tells Of Talks
With Cook on Ills
Return
FORCED TO LEAVE BEHIND
LARGE PART or BELONGINGS

whitney OF New haven, DelleVes
that Or. friedrich A. Cook found
the pole and that Commander
Peary did the same. In express
ing this belief today Mr.. Whit
ney said that he knows no reason
foi doubling Cook more than
Peary.
CDR. Cooks story" he added
"seemes to me truthful aud pro-
bable. Nothing else would ex.
plain his twelve months alb.
sence."
Mr.. Whitney left tonight for
Sydney, and will proceed from
that point TO Boston. He receiv-
ed messages from Commander
Peary today complaining that he
had not fully informed the COM
mander about the nature of DR..
Cooks belongings left with
Whitney at Etah.
Mr.. Whitney says that Com
mander Peary is in error as he in
formed him fully that and Capt.
Robert Bartlett of the Roosevelt
saw all the things as he helned
Mr.. Whitney ito bury them at
Etah after Peary had refused to
take them aboard his vessel.
Whitney informedEPeary {
DIR. Cooks arrival in April, add
ing that Cook had told him
(Whitney) to tell Peary that
Cook had gone beyond Peary's
"Farthetst North. Pearv made
no comment on this, and Whit
ney said he was not asked any
other questions by Peary.
Tried to Tampsr With EskimOS
But the next day Cooks Eskl-
mos came to Whitney and asked
him what Peary's men were try
ing to get them to say. Peary's
men had shown the Eskimos pa
pers and maps, but the Eskimos
declare they did not understand
these papers. So far as Mr..
Whitney is aware, Cooks Eski-
mos never admitted that while
with the doctor they had pro-
crossed only two "sleeps" from
land.
The day the Roosevelt was
leaving Etah for home Whitney
informed Peary that Cook had
entrusted 10 him certain belong
ings to bring home on the ves-
sci that was coming up for
Whitney, but as tins ship had
not arrived Whitney was at a
loss what to do with this prop
erty.
Peary declined to permit DIR.
Cooks belongings 10 be brought
aboard the Roosevelt, and he
put Whitney on his honor not to
include any thing belonging to
DIR. Cook IN his own luggage.
Whitney thereupon went ashore
from the Roosevelt, separated
DIR. Cooks property from his
own baggage and, with the aid
of Captain Robert BARTLETT, com
mander of the Roosevelt, whom
he had asked to help him, re-
packed Cooks proper
erty in boxes. Afte
this had been done, Whitney
and Bartlett cached all of Cooks
property in a cave in the rocks.
They built up the cave securely
with stones and turf and left the
property in charge of DIR. Cook Is
Eskimos. There was nowhere
else to put DIR. Cooks property,
AS Peary's house bad been dis

IN 1891.

Glider in his Grover Cleveland: A

I"Century." THE situation was typi.
cal of his career. The question had
arisen as to what reply he should
make to the invitation Of the Reform
Club to attend a banquet at which
free coinage of silver was to be at
tackled. Some of his advisers thought
he should keep silent on this subject,
so that the chances of his renomina-
ton might not be injured. But he
Enthusiastically used the occasion to
reaffirm his opposition to what he re-
garded as financial heresy, and in
unmistakable terms he denounced the
free, unlimited and independent silver

country that this was the end of
