WILL TRY AGAIN
TO BOOST PEARY
Congressman Englebright of
California Still Fighting to
Honor the Explorer.
RAISES QUESTION AS TO
SPEED WITH DOG TEAMS
Cites Some Data to Show That
Peary Could Have Made
Time He States.

WASHINGTON, March 14.-Repre.
sentative Englcbright (Republican) OF
California. the only member of the
house committee who favored bestow-
irg congressional honors upon Com
mandsr Peary without an inspection OF
the explorers IS proofs, does not intend
To let the matter rest.
He says he will force the sommittee
to vora definitely for OF against Penry
award if he can. The various bills for
the Peary award are still before the
committee.
Mr. Englebright has. by thorough
search Of tie record. dug up interesting
data concerning the speed that can be
made in Arctic travel. The principal
point made against Peary in the commit
tee is that he could not have made the
speed which he claimed in his final dash
for the pole. This speed was thirty
miles a day IN the journey TO she pole
and fifty mi'es day OIL his return
trip.
Cites Sledge Records.
A. D. Nash, former government mail
carrier IN Alaska, is quoted by Mr., En-
plebright as making a 1400-mlle trip
from Dawson to Nome with dogs and
sledges In twenty"six days, or fifty"four
miles day. A single. trip by Mt
Nash from Candle Creek to Neulluk,
a distance of 102 miles, is said to have
been made in seventeen hours with mail
and a woman passenger on the sledge.
An average of 12l miles per day is
said to have been made by the winning
dog team in the race of the Nome KeIs
Eel club of Alaska over Il 4l2-mlle
course. the full time being eighty-two
hours and two minutes.
Mr. Englebright says that Represen-
tative Macon, who made the chief at
tack upon Mr.. Peary's record, did noV
onote fully enough from Greeley's rec
ord. which shows that Lockwood made
siedge trips averaging 311a miles per
day, instead of nine miles, as stated by
Mr. Macon

The Markets
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings In All
The Leading Stocks.

New York, Aug 16.-The stock market
today manifested very decided dispo-
sition to awaken from its lethargy of the
pre- vous day by making a number OF
Substantial advances Trading was more
active and embraced many specialties,
such as Colorado Fuel and Iron, Colorado
Southern American Beet Sugar. Nation
al Biscuit American lee, Central Leather
ana International Harvester. The move
ment in these stocks was almost wholly
manipulative and presumably for account
of various pools.
Later in the day the more active issues,
including Reading. Union Pacific, South
ern Pacific, Atchison, St. Paul United
States steel, Amalgamated Copper and
American Smelling, participated in the
advance. RuIAors of a forthcoming seq
reSation Of Readings assets were once
more revived and received some credenca
by reason Of the strength of LehiSh Val
ley in the Philadelphia market Cana
dian Pacific was active and strong in
connection with reports that the company
had increased its sphere of activity by
the purchase of the Allan Line Of steam
erS.
The days adverse news features includ-
ed the foreign trade report for July,
which showed another excess of imports
over exports reduction iii the dividend
on the preferred stock Of the United
States Cast Iron Pipe Co and the filing
of petition in bankruptcy against one
of the smaller southern iron companies.
On the other hand, marked Improvement
was reported in the general textile Sllud-
ton, and much of the days news re-
specting crops was at least favorable.
On the Stock Exchange sentiment was
more cheerful, traders taking the ground
that the immediate outlook seems condG-
Give to a better market. The opinion,
however, was almost wholly negative in
character, being founded largely on the
belief that many contingencies have al
ready been discounted by the present
price levels and that stocks are no longer
being pressed for sale. There appears
to be a more active demand for the bet
ter grade bonds and the tone of that
market offers more encouragement than
for a long time past
In the late session the market became
more brisk and a generally higher livel
of prices was recorded. This advantage
was almost fully maintained to the close,
which was active and strong. In some
quarters there was a disposition to at
tribute the increased strength of the
market to the rejection Of Col. Roose-
velt's name for the temporary chairman
ship of the Republican state convention,
but this view was not seriously accepted
in conservative circles.
London was again a seller here at the
outset. but bought moderately in the late
session.
The bond market was steady through
cut, with governments unchanged. Total
sales, par value, Sl,2210o0.
