that the news that another famous ex-

Officially Denied Colombian
Minister Is withdrawn.
CORTES MERELY ON LEAVE
At Least, So State Department Be-
ieves.
SENIOR P0MB0 Is IN CHARGE
True, There's Objection to the
Panama Treaty, But It's Not
Very Serious.

The published statement that with the
withdrawal OF Secretary Guzman of the
Colombian legation that country is with
out representation in the United States,
and that this withdrawal is a significant
move of the new party opposing the rati-
flcation Of the treaty with the United
States. is not borne out by the State De-
partment officials.
The Colombian minister, Enrique c.
Cortes, has been in Europe for some time,
but nothing has reached the State De-
partment indicating that he will not re-
turn to the United States. The secretary
of the legation, Mr.. Guzman, In letter
to the State Department few days ago
said that he had decided to leave the
Colombian diplomatic service. and that
he much regretted leaving the country
where he had received such uniform
courtesy and in which he had made many
friends.

He also stated that the legation would

Colombia. therefore, is not without dip
lomatic representation at this capital
The State Department officials said today
that our relations with Colombia were of
the most friendly sort, that we were in
constant communication with our minis
ter there.
AS to the pending treaties, it was stated
that 1t had come to the knowledge Of the
department that there had developed con-
siderable opposition to their ratification,
but SO far as this country was concerned
their rejection would not be a matter of
much moment. as our part In them was
more with the view to an adjustment of
the relations between Panama and CO.
lombia than because of any material
benefit that would accrue to this country.
ALI Must Be Ratified.
These treaties between the United
States and Colombia, the United States
and Panama and between Panama and
Colombia contain proviso that none Of
them shall go into operation without all
of them having been ratified by the par
ties in interest. None of them. however,
has been rejected, but there seems to be
probability that the Colombian govern
ment may take adverse action, in which
case they all will fail.

IMPARTIAL INVESTIGATION
is ASSURED BY PERKINS
Finding Of Government Bureau Un-
impeachable, He Believes.
FIRST CLAIMANT MUST ASK
Review Of Cooks Notes by Univer-
sity Of Copenhagen No Bar to
Comparative Computation
Of Observations.

The coast and geodetic survey will un-
dertake to arbitrate the Peary-Cook
north pole controversy providing DIR.
Cook requests that it should do so.
In view Of the fact that Peary has
been operating under the directions of
the survey 1t will become the duty of
that institution to compute his notes
without request from any one. Acting
Superintendent Perkins said today that If
Cook should SO desire the survey would
go over his papers also.
1T is a delicate natter said Mr..
Perkins, ito decide the claims in such
an important case. But our men are sci
entists and would be impartial, not to
say cold-blooded, in such an investiga-
ton as 1t would be necessary for them
to make in arriving at the comparative
merits of the claims of the two men.
Moreover, I believe" he continued.

Mr. Perkins admitted that he had re-
ceived suggestion looking to such action
by the survey. While saying that the
bureau would be willing to undertake the
task of arbitration. he had noticed that
DR.. Cook had expressed his intention Of
referring his claims to the University of
Copenhagen.
HE could scarcely do BETTER" said Mr..
Perkins. 1.-The Danes are seafaring
people and for centuries have been en-
gagged in arctic exploration.
The scientific men would be peculiarly
adapted to an inquiry of this character.
I believe that any results arrived at by
the university would be accepted as con-
elusive
the university should review DR.. Cook s
work, the coast and geodetic survey
would be willing. still later, to compare
the doctors notes with Commander
Peary's
The subject, he said, was one Of such
| Importance that the world wanted to
know the exact truth, and too much pains
could not be taken in settling the dispute.
He expressed the opinion that the work
could be concluded within a month after
the notes were submitted.
Honor Reflects Upon Bureau.
The coast and geodetic survey is just
| waking up to the fact that Mr.. Peary's
achievement is destined to bring fame
| to it.
1--WE realize said Mr.. Perkins, that
Mr.. Peary has accomplished a great
| work. The survey is really pleased to
be identified with it. Especially is this
| true because of the fact that Mr.. Peary
began his official career in connection
with this survey"
He then referred to- the records to
show that soon after graduating from
college in 1877 Mr.. Peary attached him
self to the survey, remaining with that
institution for about two years.

The remains Of Lieut.. James N. Sutton,

occur, according to statement issued to-
day by Attorney Henry e. Davis, Mrs.

official representatives the Navy De-
partment designates, and a priest, who
will officiate at the reburial of Lieut.. Sut-
toms remains in consecrated ground i'm
mediately after the ceremony.
Mr.. Davis Statement.
In his statement on the subject issued
today Attorneys Davis says:
THE recent delay in the exhumation
Of the remains of Lieut.. Sutton has been
wholly due to my engagements. The in
terruption of the current business of my
office, due to the unexpected prolonga-
ton Of the inquiry and the ensuing sit
uation, has compelled me to give prefer
ence to some matters, attention to which
could not properly be longer deferred,
and the War Department has courteously
waited upon my convenience.
II have today conferred with the act
ing secretary Of war and the quartermas-
ter general, with the result that the time
of the exhumation has been fixed for
Monday next, the 18th instant, at an
hour not later than o'clock in the
afternoon. The examination of the body
will be conducted at the grave-side. and
the reinterment will be had as promptly
as may be found consistent with due at
tention to details. The persons to be
present and the participation of each in
the affair have been definitely determined.
and under no circumstances will any de-
parture from the arrangements be con-
sidered
Yielded to Mothers Desire.
1T is proper that should add that INV
attitude toward the exhumation remains
unchanged. l have from the first not
thought 1t necessary, but have yielded my
judgment to Mrs. Sutton's desire. enter
ta1ned by her in view of considerations
which, say very frankly weigh but light
ly with me. My conviction as to the man
ner of Lieut. Sutton's death remains as
indicated at the close of the inquiry. and
the course upon which have already de-
cided will be pursued without regard to
the result of the examination to be made /"
Mr.. Davis declined to discuss the course
he intends to pursue. A short while ago
he announced that he had made up his
mind definitely on a plan of action and
that he thought his first move would be
made about October 1. That is as far as
he would go today.

POINT AMOUR, Labrador,
September 9, 8 A.M.-The steam
er Roosevelt, with Commander
Peary on board, is supposed to
be still at Battle Harbor, Labra-
dor.
The weather here is fine.
MONTREAL, September o.
The marine signal service today
received a wireless message by
way of Cape Ray that Com
mander Peary was still supposed
to be at Battle Harbor, Labrador.
Commander Peary is still at
Battle Harbor. He is making
slow progress southwark toward
North Sydney, Nova Scotia,
whence he will proceed to Ameri-
can ports.
No further word has come from
him to any quarter concerning
the momentous controversy which
has aroused Europe and America
by his challenge of Cooks claim.
DR.. Cook is still at Copenhagen,
the center of marked attention
from dignitaries of the official and
scientific world, but with dimin-
ishing prestige owing to the
cloud overcasting his glory. since
Peary's announcement and his
dramatic challenge of Cooks ex-
plot.
What the corroborative data are
on which the two explorers base
their positions is still withheld
from Cook because. of his deter
mination to bide his own time in
presenting his evidence, and from
Peary because he is still beyond
the range of ready communica-
ton and of detailed knowledge of
the various claims and conflicts.
Comment Unfriendly to Cook.
Foreign comment, as expressed
by the London and other metro
politan journals, while still highly
wrought with mingled enthusiasm
and doubt, is beginning to be
tinged with flippancy and scorn.
The trend of this foreign COM
ment appears to be against Cook,
the prevailing view being that
judgment goes against him by de-
fault, in non-presentation of his
corroborative evidence. On the
other hand his champions insist
that all this will be forthcoming
in due course and at the proper
time.
| Concerning Peary, the foreign
attitude appears to be one of ac-
ceptance without question of his
announcement of reaching the
pole, although there is still re-
serve of judgment on his accusa-
ton as to Cooks claim of having
reached there also.
The two Eskimos who accom-
panied Cook have now become a
vital factor in the controversy.
In anticipation of the issues in
volved, DIR. Cook has announced
that he will equip an expedition
to Greenland at his own expense
to find these men and bring them
to civilization to record their tes-
timony.
