PEARY NOW TH
Naval Commander, Too, Has Dis
covered the North Pole.
JUST ONE YEAR BEHIND COOK
He Started for the Frozen North in July of Last
Year and Reached the Pole April 6, 1909.
New York, Sept. 6. The following :
uispaicn was received nere today:
"Indian Harbor (Via Cape Ray. N.
P.), Sept. C To Associated Press.
New York: Stars and Stripes nailed
to North Pole. PEARY."
A telegram was received here today
for Herbert L. Bridgeman, secretary
of the Arctic Club of America. It read
as follows:
"Herbert L. Bridgeman, Brooklyn,
N. Y. Pole reached. Roosevelt safe.
PEARY."
Commander Peary announces April
6 as tho date of his reaching tho North
polo in a dispatch to the New York
Times reading as follows:
"Indian Harbor (Via Cape Bay, N.
F.), Sept. 6. To the New York Times,
New Yorkr I have the pole April 6th.
Expect to arrive Chateau Bay Septem
ber 7. Secure control for mo there
and arrange expedite transmission.
Big story. PEARY."
"Peary has succeeded."
"Stars and Stripes nailed to the
North Pole."
From out the Arctic darkness there
was flashed these messages, which
stunned the scientific world and
thrilled the heart of every layman.
From the bleak' coast of Labrador
Peary gave to the world tho news that
he had attained his goal In the far
north, while at tho same moment lu
far off Denmark, Dr. Frederick A.
Cook of Brooklyn was being dined and
lionized by royalty for the same
achievement.
Undeniably Yankee grit has con
quered the frozen north and there
has been created a coincidence such
as the world will never see again.
Two Americans have planted the flag
of their country In the land of Ice,
which man has sought to penetrate
for four centuries and ench Ignorant
of the other's conquest has flashed
within a period of five days a laconic
message of success to the waiting
world.
Cook In his first message to his
countrymen was brief, but noncommit
tal; Peary was even briefer, but spe
cific. "Stars and Stripes nailed to tho
North Pole," he said.
That was all, but never before have
so few , words conveyed to a people
a greater meaning or a greater satis
faction. Five days ago on September
1 Dr. Cook sent out from the Shet
land Islands the first message of his
snuccess a message which has
aroused a storm of controversy around
the world. Now Robert E. Peary, lost
from 'view In the land of Ice and un
heard from since August, 1908, star
tled the world by a similar message
sent from Indian Harbor, Labrador.
There was no qualification; it left no
doubt. It announced unequivocally
that he reached the top of the world.
Thus two flags with the stars and
stripes of the United States are float
ing in the ice packs proving the cour
age of the Intrepid Americans.
With but a word from Peary the
world waits breathlessly for details,
but untill a little later, when he will
arive at Chateau Bay, Labrador, wait
ing must suffice.
DELAYED BY THE WEATHER.
His Ship From North Pole Not Yet at
Bar Harbor.
Robert E. Peary, having nailed tho
Stars and Stripes to the pole, on
April 6, 1909, as told In his series of
messages flashed by wireless from the
coast of Labrador, Is now figuratively
lost to the world, homeward bound on
his ship, the Roosevelt.
Commander Peary on the Roosevelt,
according to best reckoning was In
the vicinity of the Btralt of Belle
Isle, between Newfoundland and the
province of Quebec. But it Is un
certain at w hat port he will touch first
to amplify the meager news of Tues
day. Inadequate telegraphic facili
ties on the Labrador coast and tho
northwest const of Newfoundland may
move him to decide to proceed on
southward to North Sydney, Cape'
Breton, before he gives to the world
details of his triumph in the far north.
Commander Peary had Intended
stopping at Chauteau bay, Labrador,
possibly Tuesday, but the telegraphic
station there was abandoned some
time ago, and the Roosevelt must push
Its nose further south before the world
obtains news. As It conies down the
Newfoundland coast, Red Bay and
further south. St. George bay. are at
hand, but whether Peary will avail
himself of these points or continue
to North Sydney, where he will have
every facility Is a matter of conjec
ture. It Is 430 miles from Chateau
Said Nothing of Dr. Cook.
St. Johns, N. F. Commander Peary,
who announced that he bad discovered
the North, pole on April 6 of the pres
ent year, found no trace of Dr. Cook,
who reported to the world five days
ago that bo had made tbe samo dis
covery In April ef tbe preceding year.
This news reached here through Cap
tain Robert Bartlett of the Roosevelt.

bay to North Sydney, and the time of
ma arrival can only be guessed. The
Roosevelt may reach there late Wed
nesday. Herbert L. Brlgman. secretary of
the Peary Arctic club, left N6w York
for North Sydney. In addition to'
greetings from the Peary Arctic dub,
Mr. Brldgman carries this messasre
from tho Explorers' dub, of which
Commander Peary and Dr. Cook are
both members:
"The Explorers' club sends you
heartiest congratulations upon your
triumph attained of the long sought
the north pole."
Anthony Fiala, who commanded one
of the Zlegler expeditions to the pole,
is a member of the board of directors
sending the message.
Several additional messages filed
Tuesday at Indian Harbor were re
ceived by associates of Commander
Peary, but none of them gave any
further details of his conquest.
Through Mr. Brldgman he notified all
geographic societies of the world of
his discovery and in addition sent a
personal dispatch to the National
Geographical society at Washington..
Tliousnnds of congratulatory mes
sages have been sent in return to the
EXPLORER COOK'S ROUTE
returning explorers. Two of the most I
notable are from Lieutenant Shackle
ton, the . English Antarctic explorer,
and Major Leonard Darwin, president
to the Royal Geographical society.
The National Geographical society
called a meeting directly after re
ceiving Peary's message and quickly
telegraphed a reply of hearty praise.
Tho New York Zoological society sent
its echo of the world-wide praise
through the president in this city,
while hundreds of less Important
messages winged their way northward
to meet the returning traveler.
In Copenhagen Dr. Cook was shown
a statement credited to Peary that
he (Peary) was the first discoverer of
the pole. Declining to enter into a
controversy, the Brooklyn physician
briefly dismissed the subject.
The remarkablo coincidence of two
American announcements of such a
collosal achievement, coming within
five days, after centuries of fruitless
endeavor, ronsttiut.es one of the most
remarkable coincidences in history.
The question of priority -in reaching
tho pole now absorbs attention In ttils
country and Europe. That Peary will
claim to be the first discoverer ap
pears to be definitely assured from
the following:
First Formal announcement hns
been telegraphed from Indian Harbor,
Labrador, to all principal American
and geographical societies of all na
tions, including Japan nnd Brazil,
specifically announcing that "the north
pole was discovered April 6 by the
Peary Arctic club expedition under
command of Commander Peary."

from St. Johns, N. F states that
Commander Peary claims that he was
the first man to reach the north pole.

PROFITS FOR DR. COOK.
His North Pole Enterprise Will Bring
Big Money.
Copenhagen One of the most re
markable results of Commander Pea
ry's rivalry with Dr. Cook for the
discovery of the pole is that Dr.
Cook's profits from the enterprise are
likely to be largely Increased. Ho re
ceived Thursday offers for his books
and lectures at twice the figures' pre
viously tendered. v One American of
the highest standing cables terms al
most startling and it is believed, far
beyond nny sum hitherto paid for such
work. Dr. Cook Is likely to accept
this offer.

Captain Bartlett of tho Roosevelt
and several members of the crew are

they will receive a welcome littlo
less demonstrative that that accorded
the explorer.
The Roosevelt Is expected to remain
here only long enough for Peary to
file in the local telegraphic office a
more detailed account of his dis
covery. With fair sailing the Roose
velt should reach Sydney, N. S by
the end of the week. Tho trip from
