That his mind may have heen af-
fected by hardships and that, In a
state Of bodily fatigue and mental be-
wilderment he convinced himself
that he reached the pole, Dr.. Cook
admits. THAT I did travel upward
of $500 miles, In some direction,
even my enemies credit. Some have
described my journey as being In a
seni-circle. others admit my going
pretty far north. Whether I went
directly north. or was diverted at
times does not. can not, change the
facts of my experience. We were
compelled on our Journey to go In
various directions to find way. We
made wide detours, at other times
we had to retreat and find new pas
sages. Perhaps. in so doing. ! did
become confused and over-estimated
my progress. If that is so, it is a
fact neither I nor anyone can settle

reach spot which l believed to be

One Of the most extraordinary
features In DR.. Cooks confession is
his admission that his conviction OF
attaining the North Pole was based
largely upon his observation OF his
shadow. This theory he presents
with great detail.

John Fox, president Of the club,
was too Ill to attend. A telegram
was received shortly before the din

The letters Of DR.. Wilson and Gov.
Harmon were read before any ad-
dresses were delivered. Gov. Har-
mons letter said N part:

signally expressed or the victory at
the polls will not be the cause OF
rejoicing, and We shall not do this
If the conduct Of public business falls
below the standard Of the campaign.
Mere personal desires. selfish pur-
poses and opportunities for special
favor must be swept aside and all
public authority be employed for the
general good alone
Mr. Dix confined himself largely
to an account Of New York State de-
velopmenta and resources. q. N.
Foss, governor-elect Of Massachu-
sets, said In part: -
81 want to say at the outset that
I am protectionist- The protec-
tion which I believe IN carries with
1t a large measure OF reciprocity. In
fact believe that protection without
reciprocity is indefensible. My al
vocacy Of this kind of protection
ruled rue out of the Republican par
ty In Massachusetts.
81 can speak: only for; Massachu-
sets. but in that State at least the
issue on which the campaign vas so
signally fought and won is this: To
bring the government back to the
people. The only way to do it, the
business way, is by eliminating all
go-betweens, the boss and his agents,
the caucus the nominating convsn-
tion and the lobby.
Before we get an honest revision
Of the tariff the senate itself must
be revised-our senators must be
virtually elected by popular vote.
The direct primary and the election
Of the United States senators by the
people will eliminate the lobby and
its train Of corruption" .

GEN. NAvARRo's STATEMENT.
Declared the Troops of the Insur-
gents Were Demoralized.

General Navarro's official report
places the mum bere of insurgent
deaths in Sundays battle at eighty
but Independent Investigation can
not confirm this.
There was no fighting yesterday
as was reported, nor was there any
Wednesday.
Gen. Navarro stated he did not
pursue the enemy because he wished
to care for his wounded. There Is
but one doctor with his contingent.
Opposed to this statement Is the as
sertion of the revolutionists that he
did not pursue because he had been
fought to a finish and had exhausted
his energy. Had he killed eighty
of the enemy, it is argued, his duty
was plain to finish the remainder
in their presumably demorallzed
state. The fact that they camped
within field glass sight of him Is said
to indicate anything but demoraliza-
ton.
Revolutionary leaders today acted
like victors. ReInforcements arrived
here to the number OF two hundred
and the chiefs declared they were
ready and expected another battle
Thursday. On the other hand. dis
senslon appeared within the pro
nunciado" or maderista ranks.

ting in chambers at Spartanbarg has
annuled the marriage contracted be-
tween Mr.. Walker and Miss Ida Jor-
dan, a pretty telephone operator OF
spartanburg on August 20, last.
In his complaint Mr.; Walker de-
clared he was SO drunk when the
marriage ceremony was performed
that he had no recollection of 1t and
did not know he was married until
he woke up in the Argyle hotel the
following morning and found Miss
Jordan with him and she told him
she was his wife.
In her answer to his suit, Miss
Jordan admitted all his allegations.
Rev. w. M. Whltesides, pastor of
Green Street Baptist church, who
married the couple, said that when
they came to him 1t was evident that
Mr.. Walker had been drinking, but
he was in perfect command OF all
his senses.
II talked to them both for some
time" said Mr.. Whitesides, telling
them what an important step 1t was
that they were taking and asking
them II they had fully made up their
minds. Mr.. Walker said he and Miss
Jordan had been sweethearts for two
years and were determined to be
married.
In asking for the annullment Mr..
Walker said that on August 20 and
the day preceding, he and other
young men had been drinking to ex-
cess in Greenville. He was drunk
that evening and while in that con-
dition went to Spartanburg, arriving
about o'clock. He entered hack
at the station, bought pint OF whis'
key from the hackman and took 8
big drink, "and soon became oblivi.
GUS to all transpiring events and un,
conscious Of what I was doing"
He has learned that some time
during the night he went or was
carried to, Miss Jordan's home ant
that about 2 o'clock OF the same
night he and Miss Jordan went t
Rev. Mr.. Whitesides' house and were
married.
He remained unconscious, he said
until the next morning, when h
found himself in room at the Ar
gyle with Miss Jordan.
She told him they had been mar
ried. He at once left the hotel, h'
said, and returned to Greenville, ant
has not seen Miss Jordan since.
