London, Sept. 8.-The Reuter- Tele-

ECook's story should mol pe Ia
ken too seriously. The Eshmos who
accompanied him say he went no dis
;tance north and not out Of sight OF
land. Other men Of the tribe corrob-
crate their statement.
Copenhagen, Sept. 8.-SI have been
to the North Pole. As [ said last
night when I heard Of Commander
Peary's success, if he says he has
been to the pole believe him.
"I am willing to place facts, fg-
ures and worked-out observations be-
fore a joint tribunal of the scientific
bodies of the world. In due course l
shall be prepared to make public an
announcement that will effeetually
dispel any doubt, if there can be
such, of the fact that I have reached
the pole. But, knowing that | am
right and that right must prevail, l
will submit at the proper time my
full story to the court Of last resort
the people Of the world.
II will not enter into any contro-
versv over the subject with Command
er Peary, further than to say that II
he says I have taken his Eskimos, my
reply is that Eskimos are nomads.
They are owned by nobody, and are
no private property of either Com
mander Peary or myself.
"The Eskimos engaged by me were
paid ten times what they agreed to
accompany me for.

Pearv says I took provisions stored

my provisions, obtaining Them from

This is DR.. Frederick A. Cook S
reply to Commander Peary.
Coming so quickly upon other dra-
matte incidents Of the week, Com
mander Peary's dispatch denying
that DR.. Cook had achieved the trl-
umph for which he has been feted and
honored in Copenhagen beyond the lot
of any other private person, has been
read here with feelings of amaze

moved when confronted tonight with

ticuLarly does he call attgntion to
the attractiveness of he drive by mo-
tor car over the thirty-nine miles OF
good roads, through the pineapple
country where millions of the luscious
fruits are yellowing on the plants. No
where in the world can so much be
seen in so short a ride as from Homo
lulu to Haleiwa. The great sugar
mills are within the vision of the
tourists and hundreds, perhaps thou
sands of acres Of cane are to be seen.
The ride to Haleiwa is pleasant one
throughout and no visitor to Honolulu
should leave without taking it and
having luncheon or dinner at the hotel.
