New York. Sept 7--Peary, having
mailed the stars and stripes to the
pole" on April 6, 1909, as told in his
messages, is figuratiVely lost to the
world tonight homeward bound on the
Roosevelt. At Copenhagen royalty
continues to pay homage to Cook, who
announced he had reached the pole
April 81, 1908. Both will be in the
United States before the end of Sep
TENDER. Peary, according to the best
reckoning, is In the vicinity of Bellies
land, between New Foundland and the
province of Quebec tonight. But it is
uncertain at what port he will touch
to amplify the meagre news of yes
terday. Inadequate telegraph facii-
ties may cause him TO go to Fort
Sydney, Nova Scotia, first.
Peary intended stopping at Chateau
Bay tonight but the telegraph station
there had been discontinued and he
was forced to push it 1t is four
hundred and fifty miles from Chateau
Bay to Fort Sydney The Roosevelt
may reach there late tomorrow.
Herbert L. Bridgeman, secretary OF
the PeaTy Arctic Club, left New York
for Fort Sydney tonight.
In a message to the American Mu-
scum of Natural History in New
York, Peary announces he will bring
home a valuable collection for that
institution A thousand cOngratula-
tory messages have been sent to

Arden, n. Y, Sept. 7-AII the
alarming rumors regarding she con-

been revived following his relapse of
Sunday night. From the best infOr-
nation obtainable today, however, it
vas believed that the attack that
caused a hurry call for a New York
nurse and probably two nurses, one
for day and one for night, was a
temporary sickness caused by a sud
den change of temperature or an in
discretion in diet which the sick man
in his weakened condition was unable
to throw off. DR.. W, G. Lyle, Mr..
Harriman's private physician, calls
the attack acute Indigestion" In
his statement last night he said that
his patient was better.
One result Of the news has been a
swift TeaSSem bling of the newspaper
representatives whose presence a
week ago at every avenue leading to
the Hartman house finally caused
the sick man himself to issue a state

try would withdraw its representa-
tives he would see that it was in
formed C any subsequent crisis in his
