FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 3, 1903
SNAP JUDGMENT.

The dispatches this morning take w
at length the reported discovery of
the North Pole by DIR. Cook. II is
gratifying to note that the large ina
jority of the geographical authorities
accept as true the statement of the
American explorer; this must be taken
to indicate the high standing of the
reputed successful polar pioneer. In
the long list of those who are quoted
who seriously questions the reracity
OF the report; that one Is Admiral
Melville; he is well known as one Of
the intrepid men who made early at
tempts to reach the pole Admiral
Melvilles chief ground for doubt APP
pears to be that the published REPORT
of the discovery Is SO meager. He
fails to consider that this report came
as a news telegram and Is necessarily
lacking in detail. 1t would be the part
OF courtesy for the admiral to wait
for the personal statement of DIR. Cook
before condcmning so arbitrarily the
report which the telegraph gave to
the world yesterday morning. Until
IL is proved false the Cook story must
be accepted as true; the high stand
ing of the explorer is warrant enough
for that.

station; before he reached the other
side, Admiral Dewey had sailed into

Spanish fleet. There was nothing IN
the fighting line for Sperry To do. In
1909 he became a captain and in 1906
a rear admiral. His most notable
service was the command of the
American fleet on the last half of its
long voyage around the world last
year; his record in this command Was
enviable.
