Maurice COnnel Says Peary's Narrative of the
Journey Confirms All DR.. Cook Has Said===
Cook Had Ample Supply Of Food

San Jose. Cal. Nov. 30.-Maurice
Conuell. observer at the United States
weather bureau here and a survivor
OF the Greely north pole expedition
yesterday defended DR. Frederick a
Cook from the recent attack OF Wal
ter Wellmau.
Mr.. Wcllman, who made two dIsaS-
tTous attempts to reach the pole In
an airship. denounced DR.. Cook as an
impoStor.
Taking mp the main points OF the
Wellman charges, Mr.. Connel declared
that instead OF having to take food
from AnatoB. distance of 700 miles
to the pole, the Cook party killed
so much game during the first part of
the journey that. wnen reaching Cape
Hubbard, 400 miles from the pole.
they had greater quantity of supplies
than when they started from Anatok.
The fact that Cook. three days out
from Cape Hubbard cut down his
party TO two Eskimos and &c picked
dogs. according to Connell. is further
reason why he could have made better
and unimpeded progress.
In a country where supplies can
not be roplenished." said Mr. Connel,
"the fewer the men and dogs used
the fewer loads there are to haul"
"Wellman tells that be could man
ufacture a latitude observation at any
time. Certainly that is not very con-
vincing." adds COnnel. But Cook
could not well manufacture time oh
seryation or a longitude observation.
neither could he manufacture magnet
ic variations, and above all could he
he state whether the north pole was
or land OF on sea. unless he had been
there?
If anything was needed TO con-
firm Cooks claim that he reached the
pole in April 1908. Pcary's narrative
Of the journey made by himself in
1909 would confirm.
Cook stated that no land exists
at the pole; so says Peary. Cook stat
ed that the ice floes were OF larger
extent and smoother as the pole was
neared and that there were fewer
pressure ridges; SO SAYS Peary.
Peary in every detail confirms Cook.

Lord Cromer Speak
on Pudget

London, Nov. 3O-Thfs was dav
In the history of the House of Lords
long To be remembered The session
was given over to the concluding ar.
gumentS and division of the govern
mentS budget bill, and the debate was
the most interesting heard in the up.
per chamber In many years. The In
terest of the members and other au-
dltors was intense throughout The
galleries were more crowded than on
any preceding day since the debate
began. and the peers. whose presence
was urgently requested by party
whips gathered IN force. Tho
Episcopal benches were filled. n ma.
jority of the bishops being present TO
hear their colleague. the Archbishop
of York. who was the first speaker OF
the afternoon.
Several peers, who had never even
taken the oath OF the chamber, were
sworn in in order that they might
vote.
The Archbishop OF York said he
would have TO take a position some
what different from that of the pri-
mate. and that, IL he voted. ho would
vote against Lord Lansdowne's amend
mcnt. He Joined with those. he said,
who deplored the introduction of tho
amendment, and he had not argu-
ments sufficiently strong to prove TO
him that the budget was bad enough
10 justify the unprecedented course
proposed by Lord Lanedowne.
After attacking the arguments OF
Lord Roseberry, Lord Cromcr and
Lord Balfour OF Burleigh and their
position In refusing to vote on Lans-
downe's amendment. Lord Curson said
he could not give place either to the
socialism of the bill or the revolution
involved in assault on the House OF
Lords. He declared the lords had no
right to surrender their position. II
they did surrender. nothing would
stand between the people and the
House of Commons.
He strongly deprecated the sugges-
tlon that England would adopt a single
chamber system. like that of Bulgaria
and Greece. He maintained the lords
had a right to reject the finance bill,
saying this right. both OF rejection
and amendment had been exercised
frequently. Lord CurZon agreed that
the country was on the eve of a mo-
mentous struggle which might lead 10
the reform OF the House OF Lords. but
they would not shrink from contest
which would give the nation second
champion with strength denied them
selves. He hoped his own party might
