In his latest Interview with the World
correspondent at La Palmas Lebaudy said:
'In the first place, my men would not

"Employment haa ita risk in my mines

how the many employes of the papal court
fear a sweeping change In the ofnee of the

ambassador to the Vatican an autograph
letter sent by President Loubet was pre

WASHINGTON. Sept. g.-Commander
Robert E, Peary, t. S. N., tha well known
Arctlo explorer, will make another dash for
the north pole. Leave of absence of three
years has been granted him, with the per
mission of the president, by Mr. Darling,
acting secretary of the navy, and he has
been assured of the hearty sympathy of
both these officials In his new venture.
In his letter of application for leave ot
absence Commander Peary briefly outlines
his plan of action. In a suitable ship built
In one of our best shipyards, reinforced and
strengthened to the maximum 'degree and
fitted with American engines, "so that she
may go north as en exponent of Amerlcun
skill and mechanical ability." Commander
Peary hopes to start with his expedition
about July 1 next.
Upon arriving at the Whale sound region
he will take on board a large number ot
Eeklmoa and establish a permanent base at
Cape Sabine. Thence he will force his way
northward to Grant Land, where he hopes
to establish winter' quarters on the northern
shore. As far as practicable along the route
he will establish caches. The following
February, with the earliest returning light,
he will start due north over the polar pack
with a strait light picneer party and fol
lowed by a large mr.in party.
PlitAa of Explorer.
In his lwtter of application to Acting
Secretaiy of the Navy Darling for leave
of absence Conmander Peary says:
I should expect to accomplish the dis
tance to the pola and return In a bout 100
days or a little more, an average travel
of about ten miles a day. R turning I
should break the ship out late in the season
and return home, if Ice conditions the first
year were such as to prevent reaching the
northern shore of Grant I.and I should
winter as far north as practicable, and'
force the ship to the desired location the
following year. In this event the expedi
tion would be gone two years.
Distinctive features of Commander Peary'a
plan are the use of Individual sledges with
omparatlvely light loads, drawn by dogs;
the adoption of Eskimo methods and cos
tume and the ' fullest utilisation of the
Eskimos themselves.
Commander Peary believes the ad
vantages of hts plan and route are a fixed
lend base 10$ miles nearer the pole than
any other route; a more rigid Ice pack,
extending further poleward than is found
on tha opposite side of. the pole; a wider
land base on which to retreat, and a well
beaten line of cornmunlcatlon and retreat
from winter quarters to comparatively low
atltudes, which Is practicable at any sea
son of the year.
Darling Enthusiastic.
Acting Secretary of the Navy Darling,
a close student of arctic work and an en
thusiastic believer in the ability of Ameri
can pluck and daring to find the pole, says
in hla letter to Commander Peary granting
him three years' leav of absence from
April 1, that he thinks he is better equipped
than any other person in the country to
ndertake this work. He pays a high com
pliment to Mr. Peary'a courage and ability.
He conclude his letter with this admoni
tion:
The attainment of the pole should be
your main object. iNotmng snort win snx
flce. The discovery of the poles is all that
remains to complete the map of the world.
That map should be completed In our gen
eration and bv our countrymen. If it Is
claimed thut the enterprise is fraught with '
danger and privation, tne answer is mat
geographical discovery In all ages has been
purchased at the price of herolo courage
and noble sacrifice. Our national pride Is
Involved In the undertaking, and this de
partment expects that you will accomplish
our purpose ana oring nirinrr ni.iinuuuu
to a service of Illustrious traoitions. in
conclusion I am pleased to Inform you
that the president of the United States
sympathises with your .cause and approves
the enterprise.
Aretlo Club to Cilvo f 180,000.
In an Interview tonight Commander Peary
aald that the expedition would be mnde
under the auspices of the Peery Arrtla
club of New York, of which Morris K. '
Jessup Is president. The club will flnano
the expedition to the extent of 1150,000.
which Is 1C0.000 more than the coat of th
last trip, which occupied four years. Upon
hla arrival at Wale'a Bound, where he
says he Is well known, Commander Peary
will try to induce some Eskimos to ac
company Mm 175 miles north and there
the base of operations will be located.
That wilt be 499 miles from the pole. From
this base he expects to take another party
over the mountainous lc to a point be-
tJen the 83d and &Sth degree, where ho
will establish another nse. a pioneer
party wilt he sent out from this Utter
base to catch waiius and othsr food to
be In readiness for himself and party of
twenty-five upon their arrival, after which,
the dash to the pole will be made.
