Pole Story.

WASHINGTON D. c., March s.
Commander Peary declined to submit
to congress proofs of his discovery of

reason for refusing The statement
says:
Commander Peary and his friends
say the contracts signed month ago
with his publishers render 1t imrossi-
BILE to make his records and scientific
data public now. 1t would not only
subject Peary to heavy damages-the
loss of which he cannot meet. having
just extricated himself from debt ia
Cured IN various expeditions-but
would be breaking faith with his pub

under any circumstances.
After hearing a statement by Rep
resentative Hobson of Alabama and
Moore of Pennsylvania, urging the
granting of a congressional reward to
Peary, irrespective of the question OF
his proofs, the committee adjourned
until Wednesday, without taking any
action.
