Full of menning, if "successful"
were interpreted to indicate that he
had reached the North Pole, the fore
going calle message, exasperating in
its briefness, was received in New
York Wednesday from Dr. Frederick
A. Cook, (he American explorer,
whom (lie latest cable advices credit
with having accomplished what no
man ever did. It was intended for
Mrs. Cock, who was not at home.
Wcdns^doy's message from Dr.
Cool: io Iiis wife was dated at Ler
wick, Shetland islands, tho first avail
able print of transit in the regular ?
steamship course between Greenland
ports and Copenhagen, whither he is
bound. Because of its briefness the
assumption is that the message was
sent primarily to assure his wife of '
his safety and not to apprise the
world of his discovery.

l'rqui the icc of tho central pack, was
crossed with little delay. Thc low
temperature was persistent and tho
winds made lii'cTa torture. Rut coop
ed up in our snow houses,, eating
dried beef tallow and drinking hot
tea, there was some animal comforts
occasionally to be gained.
"For several days after the sight
of known land was lost, the overcast!
sky prevent cd an accurate determina
tion of our position. On March 30
thc horizon was partly cleared and
now land was discovered. Our ob
servations gave our position as lati
tude 84.47, longitude 80.30. There
was urgent need of rapid advance.
Our main mission did not permit a
detour for the purpose of exploring
thc coast. Here were seen thc last
signs of solid earth; beyond there
was nothing stable to be seen.
"We advanced steadily over the
monotony of moving sea-ice and now
found ourselves beyond the range of
nil life-neither footprints of bears
nor the blow-holes of seals were de
tected. Even the microscopic creat
ures of the deep were no longer under
us. The maddening influence of tho
shifting desert of frost became al
most unendurable in the daily rou
tine. The surface of the pack offer
ed less and less trouble and the
weather improved, but there still re
mained the life-sapping wind which
drove desair to its lowest recess. The
extreme cold compelled action. Thus
:lay after day our weary legs spread
aver big distances. Incidents and
positions were recorded, but adven
ture was proudly forgotten in the
aext day's efforts.
"The irght of April 7 was made
notable bj' thc swinging of the sun at
midnight over thc northern ice. Sun
burns and frost bites were now re
corded on the same ?lay, but the
louble day's glitter infused quite an
incentive into one's life of shivers.
"Our observation April G placed
the camp in latitude 8(?.3G, longtitudo
t)4.2. In spite of what seemed long
marches wc advanced but little over
\ hundred miles. Much of our work
ivas lust in circuitous twists, around
troublesome pressure lines and high
irregular fields. A very old ice drift,
too, was driving eastward with suffi
aient force to give some anxiety.
"Although still equal to about fifty
miles daily? tho extendedt?laT?SleV
und thc long hours for traveling with
which fortune favored us earlier were
no longer possible. "We were now
ibout 200 miles from the pole and
sledge loads were reduced. One dog

Df Hie hungry survivors until the
Learns were considerably diminished
in number, but lhere seemed to re
main a sufficient balance for man and
brute to push along into the heart of
the fays tory to which we had set our
selves.
"On April 21 we had readied 89
ilcgrces 50 minutes 40 seconds. The
pole was in,sight. We covered the
remaining fourteen seconds and made
ii few final observations. I told
l?t uk ?shook and A h welsh (the accom
panying Eskimos) that' we liad reach
ed the "great nail.' Everywhere we
turned was south. With a single step
we could pass from one side of the
earth lo the other; from midday to
midnight. At last the Hag floated to
the breeze at the pole, lt was April
2i, 1908. The tem ??era tuve was minus
38 centigrade, barometer 20.83, lati
tude 00; as for the longitude it was
nothing, as it was bul a word.
"Although crazy with joy our
spirits began to undergo a feeling of
weariness. Next day after taking all
Our observations, a sentiment of in
tense solitude penetrated us while we
looked- at the horizon. Was it pos
sible that this desolate region, with
out a patch of earth, had aroused the
ambition of so many men for so many
centuries? There was no ground,
emly an immensity of dazzling white
snow, no living being, no point to
break the frightful monotony.
"On April 23 we started on our re
turn."
?S PLANNED FOR DR. COOK
in Greenland, said: "When Dr. Cook
says that he reached the North Pole
there can be no doubt about it. His
scientific discoveries will prove that."
A committee under the presidency
of the minister of commerce has
been formed to arrange a fitting re
ception to the intrepid explorer on his
arrival at Copenhagen. Dr. Maurice
F. Egan, thc American minister, was
aboard a special steamer that was
sent out by the Royal Georgraphieal
Society Prw?ny lo meet Dr. Cook, who
is on his way hero on Hie steamer
Hans Egerte.
AUTO CLASH WITH TRAIN
and Mrs. Schlegel were dead when
picked up and Dr. Schlegel was un
able to move, both legs having been
broken. Almost simultaneously with
the collision of the automobile, the
gasoline tank exploded and the
wreckage took fire. The clothing of
the victims -./as ignited and had the
bodies not been removed promptly
they would have been burned. Dr.
Sohlegel was conscious and gave the
names of his companions.
OR. COOK ISJNTERVIEWED
Reached Pole at 7 O'clock in tho
Morning-His Success Due to Old
Methods, Esquimos and Dogs.
Skag?n, Denmark, By Cable.-A
newspaper correspondent who went
on hoard the Hans Egedc from tho
pilot steamer off here was able to ob
tain a few words with Dr. Frederick
A. Cook. The explorer ascribed his
success to the fact that he made use
of the old methods, namely, Eskimos
and dogs, and that ho lived like an
Eskimo himself. Tho doctor theu^.
gave a hurried sketch of his expedid
tion in which he said: .
"Going northward I struck first a
westerly coiu'se from Greenland and
then moved northward.
"I arrived at thc North Pole April
21, 1908, as already announced, ac
companied by only two Eskimos.
"We reached the Pole at 7 o'clock
in tho morning.
"I took daily observations for a
whole fortnight before arriving at the
Pole.
"Returning wo wore forced to take
a more weasterly route and' the (irst
ten days I look observations daily
and recorded them. I was unable to
measure the depth of thc seas as I
had not the necessary instruments.
"The lowest temperature was 83
degrees centigrade below zero.
"I have ample proof that I reach
ed tho North Pole in tlie observations
I took, which alford a certain means
of checking the truth of my state
ments.
"Although I am proud of my
achievement in planting the American
?Ug on the North Pole, I look with
.nudi greater pride to the fact that I
traveled around mare than thirty
thousand spore miles of hitherto un
known ground, and opened up nu en
tirely fresh field for exploration."
The Hans Egedc was met in the
North sea by the pilot steamer Polar
Bear, aboard which was Captain Am
drup, the well-known polar explorer,
who was sent as a special representa
tive of the Danish government to
welcome Dr. Cook. As the vessels ap
proached each other. Captain Am
drup led the cheers for thc American
explorer.
Will America Claim the Pole.
Washington, Special.-Thc ques
tion on many tongues in Washington
since the announcement of the dis
covery of the north pole, by Dr.
Cook, an American, has been "Will
the United States claim thc north
pole by right of discovery."
The State Department refuses to
r.nswer the question, claiming that it
lias no official report of the discovery
and therefore cannot discuss the sub
ject. Those who are informed, how
ever state that when Dr. Cook re
turns to. tbjg eouulcy-apd^estaJ^hcH
the fact that he has discovered the'
pole, and describes tho nature of tihe
place, the "United States will un
doubtedly claim tlie pole as a pos
session. "
There is much, however, to be de
termined before this can bo done, for
it- must bc established that there is
land at the pole separate and dis
tinct from other land contiguous to.
it. If it is proven that the pole is
on a continent or island, thc United
States can, by right of discovery,
claim possession. But it may turn
out to he but a part of Greenland or
of some hind contiguous to it.
The boundaries of British America
do not extend ns far north as the
pole, but there may bc mainland, such
as Greenland, which is Danish pro
perty, near enough for it to helen;
io that country.
It is understood here that there
must he land at or near the pole
which is disconnected from and not
contiguous to territories belonging to
other nations in order for the United
States to assert a valid claim io sov
ereign it y.
A vast i< ? field may create a doubt
as to liv existence of such laud, and
if this ice field overlies a part of thc
Artic Ocean, the region would doubt
less ?e classed with the high seas and
thus be international rather than na
tional property.
So many unknown quantities enter
into the case that the question of
sovereignty cannot be settled unless
Dr. Cook, when he returns, can give
d?finit? and detailed information con
cerning the region. Inasmuch as
the frozen area is apparently of no
value commercially, it is not con
sidered likely '-hat serious inter
j' national complications will arise.
Library Burns.
Toronto, Special.-Fanned by a
high wind, fire Wednesday afternoon
swept the west wiug of the parlia
ment buildings in Queens Park, to
tally destroying the library with its
collection of 100,000 books and do
ing damage which is conservatively
estimated ai $200.000.
The blaze started on the first floor
of the west wing and made its way
rapidly to the roof, where the flames
"mushroomed" and threatened for
a time to destroy the housekeeper's
quaiters in the northwestern corner
and the executive chamber.

ted, and it is believed the capture of
the bandit is a matter of but a few

before the menning of patriotism and
the love of the flag." Seeing thai
the flag would lu? whipped to shreds
by the wind he took it down and plac
ed it in a brass cylinder wlpch he
placed on the staff.
Dr. Cook said he spent practically
nil of two days taking observations.
He had a sextant, pocket watch, three
chronometers, and "more modern in
struments than were ever used by an
explorer hi the extreme North. I
verified all observations carefully and
am confident that accuracy and com
pleteness ol' the record will satisfy
the scientific world."
The entire population of the city
seemed to be at the pier with thous
ands who journeyed from all over

cheered wildly.
Dr. Cook was overcome by emo
tions; tears welled in his eyes. "1
never expected such a demonstra

for what T have done."
King Frederick asked for a call
