NEW YORK. Nov. JO. Dr. Frederick A.
Cook, th Brooklyn explorer. In an article
which will be. published In Hampton's Mag
azine,, say that he does not know whether
he reached the North pole or not. Dr.
Cook, who hea ben In hiding for more
than a year, hat Informed the editor of
the magazine publishing his story that he
will return to the United States with his
wife and children December 22 in order to
spend Christmas here.
Pr. Cook, In his story, deals with the
psychology of his adventure and says:
"Pld I get to the North pole Perhaps I
made a mistake In thinking that I did.
Perhaps, I did not make a mistake. After
mature thought I confasa that I do not
know absolutely whether -I reached ths
pole or not. Thla may come as an amazing
statement, but I am willing to startle the
world. If, by so doing, I can get an oppor
tunity to present my case.
"By my case, I mean not my baae as a
geographical discoverer, but my cane aa a
man. Muoh aa the attainment of the
North pole once meant to me, the sym
pathy and confidence of my fellow men
mean mora. .
Attempts to Justify Himself.
"Fully, freely end frankly I shall tell
you everything. Tell you everything and
leave the decision with you. If, after read
ing my atory you say, "Cook la alneere and
honest; bait erased by months of Isolation
and hunger, ha believed he reached the
pole; he le not fakir,' then I shall be sat
isfied." Pr. Cook tells the story of his life and
pictures what ha calls the overpowering
.mbttlon for exploration that beset him
until It finally culminated In hta effort to
reaoh the pole. Dr. Cook declares that at
the time he convinced himself h had dis
covered the pole ha was half mad. He spent
two years in his quest and during that
time endured hunger and privation that.
be aaya, would unbalano any mind.
The explorer states that It weuld be lm
yoalblerjtoT'.ny ilnaflr to demonstrate be
i yond question that be had been to .the.
North pole. He oharactarlaea the region aa
a region of Insanity, where one cannot
believe the evldenoea gathered by one's own
yea.
Orereoms with Bewilderment.
He aaya he had alwaya looked on the
discovery of th pole aa an achievement
for his own personal satisfaction, for the
satisfaction of a craving and desire that
waa greater than any other factor In his
Ufa. Whan he found how tremendous a
sensation his statement that he had at
tained the pole created, he was overcome
with bewilderment. Pr. Cook then tells
the atory of the daya In Copenhagen and
later in New York, and of the crisis In
his life that caused his flight from New
York and his voluntary exile from the
United Btatea. The explorer says that not
withstanding the fact that he was fol
lowed by the. shrewdest newspaper men
In the world day after day, and that sums
ranging upwarda of several thousands of
dollars ware offered! for a clue to his
whereabouts, he has never worn a disguise
and has never taken any unusual precau
tion to conceal hla identity. Tart of the
time, he aaya, his wife has been with him
and part of the time hla children.
Dr. Cook and hla wife are now In Europe
and the children are in a convent in
France.
Haa Been la Lesios,
Most of the time during his exile Dr.
Cook has been In London. He aaya he
haa gone about among Americana there
with the utmost freedom and at times haa
registered under his own name, and that
only a few have guessed his identity. Those
who did guess It, Dr. Cook saya, were
turned away with ease by the remark:
"Why, yea, I have been told that before."
With the opportunities for thought that
his exile has given him Dr. Cook aaya he
sever even bad time to aleep more than
three or four houra between his arrival
at Copenhagen and his disappearance in
New York he haa found growing stronger
and stronger the desire to return to his
own country to be understood by bis own
people. ' He realizes better than anyone
else the esteem in whiuh he was held.
"X have been called the greatest lisr in
the world, the most monumental Impostor
in history," says Pr. Cook. "I believe that
In every undesirable way I stand unique,
the object of such suspicion and vituper
ation as have assailed few men."
With thla realisation Dr. Cook wrote his
story and says thai to him the honor of
discovering Uie north pole no longer means
anything. The explorer haa been working
on hla story since last August and saya,
according to the editor of Hamplou
magazine, that "hla sole desire Is to make

MACOA. ISLAND OF MACOA. China,
Nov. 30 The Portuguese troops of the
local garii on and the crew .of th" Por
tuguese gunboat Pntrta revolted last nltiht
and, taking pnerl"n of the city proceeded
to enforce, certain changes In the adminis
tration of the affair of this dependency of
Portugal. The rebels continued In control
today, the governor and military officers
bf Ing pon eriess.
The revolt began 'with the landing of the
sailors of the Patrta, who marched to the
public square, where they fired three vol
leys as a signal to the troops, who at once
forced an entrance to the armory, and,
arming themselves, Joined the seamen.
Several hundred utronur, the rebels pro
ceeded to Santa Clara convent from which
they drove out the nuns, ordering them to
leave the Island. The nuns fled to Hong
Kong.
From the convent the rebels marched to
Government house, before which they
mounted a cannon. An Interview with the j
governor was requested and when the of
ficers at Government house intervened they
were silenced at the point of the bayonet.
The governor was compelled to hear the
defrauds, which were the cxpt:slo:i of the
religious orders. Increased pay for the
army and navy, the suppression of the
newspaper Vlda Nova and the righting of
allegod wrongs suffered by the soldiers
and sailors.
Under threat, the government granted
every demand.
No casualties are reported, but the mili
tary officers say that they have lost con
trol of the troops. The security of life and
property Is not guaranteed.
When the rebels arrived at the governor's
palace, the governor's, aide protested
against their entrance, a bayonet waa
placed at his throat and he was threatened
with Instant death If he gave an alarm.
Macao was settled by Portuguese mer
chants In the Jatter part of the sixteenth
century and long was a flourishing port.
After the cession of Hong Kong to the
British the trade of Macao declined rapidly.
The city was subsequently ceded to Portu
gal by China. Gradually the Portuguese
extended their rule over the whole Island
of Macao. China objected to thla extension
of territory and Insisted that the only con
cession ever made Portugal was limited to
the city of Macoa snd haa frequently clashed
with the Lisbon government over their re
spective territorial rights. Continued diplo
mats negotiations have failed to definitely
adjust the matter.
The city Is now divided into two wards,
one inhabited by Chinese and the other
mostly by Portuguese, each having its own
administration. When the Portuguese mon
archy, waa overthrown the Portuguese of
Macao petitioned . the provisional govern
ment of Lisbon to permit the religious
orders to remain undisturbed on the island.

Thome on the Stand.
Clifford Thorne of Washington, la., state
railroad ccmmlssloner-elect, counsel for the
Com Belt Meat Producers' association and
the Farmers and Grain Dealers' association,
contended that In four states alone, covered
tw an exhaustive Investigation he had
made, the railroads had been overcapital
ized by 1100,000.000. This was based on a
statistical summary of the actual physical
valuation of 133 properties having a com
bined capitalization of more than $1,000,-
000,000.
Mr. Thorne contended the railways' net
earnings have been Increasing faster than
their expenses, and that the credit of the
roads was good. He urged that the only
proof offered by the railroads to support
their argument of credit impairment was
that they could not market 4 per cent bonds
at par, an ability which he recognized as
by no means indicative of bad credit.
He said railroad securities are more de
sirable today than five, ten, fifteen or
twenty years ago, and command higher
market prloee than any other public utility
or industrial . companies.
"Tell your troubles to the commission"
waa the only consolation President John 8.

why sugar, unaffected in the proposed ad

The Hepburn anti-pass law. United States
court and a mighty railroad company in
terrupted the course of true love yesterday
in the prevention of the marriage of Rich
ard Webster, railway fireman, and Miss
Mable Pugmlre, daughter of a wealthy
rancher of Green Castle, Wyo., yesterday.
The end of a day with the officers and the
law found Webster In the county Jail seek

for obtaining a pass for hla fiancee by mis
representation. Meanwhile Miss Pugmlre
was speeding westward on her way home.
Late yesterday afternoon after the regu
lar session of court had closed the lovers
were brought Into the half-lighted court
room to make their confession of guilt In
violating the Hepburn act and the confi
dence of the Union Paclflo Railway com
pany for the take of love.
"I am guilty," said the girl simply, as aba
stood before Judge W. H. Munger. She
was pale and downcast.
District Attorney Howell made recom

Forty Dollars Fine.
"Forty dollars fine." aaid Judge Munger.
"Can you pay a good, liberal flneT". the
Judge aaked Webster, who rose to enter
his plea.
The defendant nodded In the affirmative.
Then hastened to ask "How much is ItT"
"One hundred dollars," said Judge Mun

Webster falterlngly declared he supposed
that the fine waa flO. He went to Jail and
will there remain until the fine is paid.
Webster obtained a pass for himself at

Lansdowne's Referendum ' Scheme
- Proves Important Factor in Discus
sions of Political Leaders.'
LONDON, Nov. 29. Politician of all
parties are straining every nerve to crowd
into a few days the work which In ordinary
elections is spread over weeks or months.
Nearly all the heavy guna were in action
tonight.
Arthur J. Balfour, leader of the opposi
tion In the house, before a meeting in
Albert hail, where he warmly supported
the referendum, described the government
as puppets dancing to the tune of John
Redmond and his American paymasters.
The prime minister, Mr. Asqulth, spoke
at Reading; Chancellor Lloyd-George at
Cardiff; John E. Redmond, leader of the
nationalists, at Dublin; Winston Spencer
Churchill, home secretary, at Colchester;
Augustine Birrell, chief secretary for Ire
land, at Bristol; John Burns, president of
the local government board, at Battersea,
and Austen Chamberlain at Ashton.
The issues are narrowing dally. The con-
aervatlvee make much of the menace of
home rule. They proclaim that the plan of
the liberals for the reform of the House
of Lords means a single chamber govern
ment and put to the front their new policy
of the referendum.
There is great fervor among the liberals,
a feature being the sudcten reforming zeal
on the part of the lorda, who claim that
Lansdowne's referendum scheme is a snaro
because the parties would be unequally
yoked together under It; that conservative
measures would always sail smoothly
tnrougn the 'House of Lords, while the
referendum would be Invoked only for lib
oral Dills which were distasteful . to the
peers. Moreover, they estimate the cost of
each appeal to the people at 110,000,000.
An interesting factional cleavage has
occurred In Balfour's party over tariff
reform.
The Spectator, the spokesman of the
unionist free traders, has proposed that the
tariff reformers pledge themselves to sub
mit the question to a referendum if the
party wins, it not being a leading issue of
the campaign.
The most ardent tariff reformers, led by
the Morning Post, contend that.lt Is the
foremost principle , of ' the party.' "The
unionist party breaks Into fragments,"
says the Post, "if a unionist victory does
not mean tariff reform."

through centuries ot observance, in tha
presence of even bthhop". many score
prkMs snd nearly 1000 laymen, George
Allen I!'pchrr was Wednesday morning
consecrated a bishop of the Protestant
Kplneopal church.
In the chancel of Trinity cathedral
where as denn he for mnny years has
officiated as it priest of the church, the
blphop-elect knelt , before Right Rev.
Daniel Sylvester Tuttle, bishop of Mis
souri and presiding bishop of th church.
On either side of that vonorable prelate
stood the Right Revs. Arthur L. William
and Anson Rogers Graves, th co-con-secratnrs;
the one, bishop of the diocese of
Omaha; the other, blfhop of the missionary
district of Kearney, resigned. To thla field
S es Bishop Peecher.
First Iilahcp Tuttio laid his hands upon
the head of tho kneeling priest and re
peated those words of the service, the
solemh. declaration, which caused the
kneeling man to arise a bishop when the
co-consecrators had likewise spoken and
likewise laid holy hands upon the head of
the man before them:
"Receive the Holy GhoFt for the Office
and Work of Bishop in th Church of God,

ecclesiastical procetslon of Imposing size.

the church the procession continued up the
center aisle of the nave until pholr and1
chancel naa oeo -xa.ha Q .the organ
had been begun when the first cruclfer
entered tho strains of "Onward Christian
Soldiers." Musla and procession combined
to give a faint flavor of mediaeval sugges

church were no uncommon sight in tha
streets of a city.
But a note ot distinct modernity ha been
sounded at the beginning of the procession.
Six trumpeters of the United States army
from Fort Omahji had led th procession
sounding on bugles uei to reveille and
taps a more sacred measure. The dress
uniforms of theta soldier of the state were
gayer of hue than the black and white
vestments of tho soldiers of the church
militant, and the contrast between the men
ot peace and the mtn ot war Impressed
every spectator. At the very second when
the procession entered the church and
wheeled Into the main aisle, the sun tem
