mously Against Honor Proposed
by the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Feb. H.--"Commander'

milton Of his services as an explorer, II
congress approves the action of tile sub
committee of the house committee on
naval affairs, which has voted 20 report
adversely the bills Offered by senator Hale
and Representative Allen. The COMMITTEES
OF six member voted unanimously against
b~estowing the honor upon Mr.. Peary. A
letter from Secretary Meyer was received
by the naval committee. giving Mr.. Peary's
naval record and stating that he should
be designated as civil engineer" and not
commander"
Secretary Meyer said that Mr.. Peary en-
listed In the navy on October 26, 1851, and
that he had a total Of over ten years in
various leaves of absence. The secretary
spoke OF Mr.. Ptary's discovery Of the
pole as a "self-lmposed." but most COM
mendable task, having no military or naval
significance and recommended that Mr..
'eary be retired as a civil engineer with
10 rank and pay of an admiral.
Representative Roberts of Massachusetts,,
a member OF the subcommittee, said he
saw no reason whatever for conterrlng
such an honor as was contemplated upon
Mr.. Peary.
His discovery Of the North pole" said
Mr.. Roberts, has been absolutely of no
benefit to the United States, to civilization
or the naval service. as far as / can see.
lie has been absent from duty in the
Navy department most of the time he has
been connected with 1t and has don moth
Ing to entitle him to this honor.
Il think probably congress might look
with favor on giving him some other kind
Of recognition. For instance, IL his friends
wanted him to receive a gold medal, or
something of that sort. 1 would be In
favor of it. But 1 am not in favor Of Civ
ing Mr.. Peary a pension for what he has
done. 1 don't think he is entitled to it,
The subcommittee which took action to-
day consisted of Messrs Butler, Roberts,
Bates, Eng1ebrlght, Gregg and Macon.
Representative Dawson was absent.
The salary which Mr.. Peary would have
received as q rear admiral, retired, for the
remainder Of his life would have been
about $1,000 a year.
