the companies, rather than go to trial,
agreed with the government to pay. My
impression is that the government was
defrauded of more money than this. The
feeling was that there was a good deal

= On the authority Of several officials of
the society it may be added that there is
not the fiimsest foundation for the re-
ports circulated in America to the effect
that Mrs. Scott. wife of Capt. Scott who
designed the medal, received Instructions
to alter the inscription. which had at one
time been drawn up with a reference to
the north pole.

Chinese Students in Japan.

From the Japan Advertiser.
According to the latest investigation
OF the Chinese legation in Toxic the
number Of Chinese students in Japan
Except military cadets has been re-
duced to 200. This is attributed to
the fact that the Picking government
has designated the government and
private colleges in China as places for
study, and students who study In other
schools are not qualified to undergo ex-
animation for the civil service.
A few years ago almost all students
from China preferred law and politics.
but recently many go TO medical and
colleges. and some even to
higher normal schools.

= Tremendous cheering from 10GOO per-

Leonard Darwin, president of the Royal

: L am glad to have heard such cheers,
added Maj. Darwin. because they are
spontaneous tribute to the man who has
accomplished what had long been the
dream of arctic explorers
Later in the proceedings when present
ing the special gold medal of tho society
to Commander Peary, Maj. Darwin said:
! ''On the very day which heard
of Commander Pearys safe return /
sent him telegram of the warmest con-
graduation in the name of this society.
Tonight j should like to send in your
name and through the channel of the
press. a message TO the people of the
United States to tell them that we hold

mander Peary as a fellow-citizen of the
United States. for he has taught the
world great lesson
elimination of Triumpns.
Last nights proceedings may. in a
sense. be regarded as the elimination of
Commander Peary's triumphs From the
first, scientific London accepted his state
ments as to the results of his expedition,
and when. as Maj. Darwin said last night,
'an exceptionally capable committee of
his fellow-countrymen. appointed by the
National Geographic Society at Washing
ton. examined his original records and
emphaticalIy Endorsed his claim there
could be no possible room for doubt.
1t has been suggested that the fact that
the inscription on the gold medal of the
ROYAL Geographical Society omitted any
mention of the north pole and simply ran,
for arctic exploration indicated the ex-
istence OF Interior doubt on the part of
the society There is absolutely no basis
for such suggestion. AS a scientific
body, the Royal Geographical Society is
not concerned with the actual quest of
the pole. but only with arctic research
and the scientific work which has been
done by the explorers who have been
dragged northward by the loadstone of
the pole.
