copenhagen's View on the Discussion.

Copenhagen's View on the Discussion.
Copenhagen, Denmark. DIR. Cook is
now on his way to New York on the
steamship Oscar H.
Interest in the Cook narrative has
been quickened among scientists by
the recent publication of the news
concerning the Peary expedition and
of PeaTys comment as to the accom-.
plishment of Cook. The view general
ly expressed is that Peary's story has
done much to remove the suspicious
which at first were entertained re-
garding the claims of Dr. Cook, es-
pecially as to the speed of his journey
in the far north and observations he
made near the pole. But after thus
corroborating assertions made by
Cook. Mr., Peary BADLY asserted that
DR.. Cook had not been near the pole.
First Scoring in Controversy.
Friends of Peary then pointed to
the fact that DR.. Cook had only two
Eskimos with him at the pole to bear
witness as to his observations. 1t
was with glee that the Cook adherents
learned a few days later that, as a
matter of fact, DR.. Cook has one more
witness than had Mr.. Peary, for only
one Eskimo accompanied Peary on
his final dash, while the white mem
Ders of the party and even Command
er Peary's faithful negro aid, the com
panion Of his previous farthest north
expedition, had been left behind.
Another prop in the Peary support
was removed when the navy depart
ment announced that, contrary to the
general belief, the Peary expedition
was not official in any way, and did
not represent any department or bu-
reau of the United States government.
1t was purely private enterprise,
said a naval officer
From the facts already known con-
corning the two Journeys, impalti al
observers have extracted the follow
ing points in the stories of the two
explorers which they say tend to sup
port the belief that the explorers
pierced the Arctic north the same dis
lance, which, Of course, would leave
Cook the winner of the controversy,
from the standpoint of those who look
at the feats as sportsmen, inasmuch
as he made his exploration first:

Despite the announcement made by

that he expected to return to this

the Associated press dispatch from

features for the 12o years, from 1889

900. OF this enormous amount two
thirds were exported within the last
twenty-seyen years and one-half with
ing the past eleven years. This
shows that the value of manufactures
exported within the last eleven years
is as great as all that exported in the

for the last twenty years twice as
