Full of meaning, if "successful"
?; were inverpreted to indicate that ho
. ' had reached the North Pole, the fore
going cable message, exasperating in
its briefness, was received in New
, York Wednesday from Dr. Frederick
A.' Cook, tho American . explorer,
whom the latest cable advices credit
with having accomplished what no
man over did.. It was intended for
Mrs. Cock, who was not at home.
Wednesday's message from Dr.
Cook to Iiis wife was dated at Ler
wick, Shetland isla ids, the first avail
able peint of transit in the regular
*? steamship course between Greenland
ports and Copenhagen, Avhither he is
- bound. Because of its briefness the
assumption is that the mossago was
? Bent primarily to assure his wife of
his safety and not to apprise the
9 world of his discovery.
. The following seems a second bit
of information:
Brussels, Sept. 1.-The observatory
here received the following telegram
dAted Lerwick, Shetland islands:
'? '? Reunited North Pole April 21,
.1908. Discovered land far north. Re
turn to Copenhagen by steamer Hans
Egede. (Signed)'
"FREDERICK COOK."
The American officials at thc ob
servatory state the dispatch is surely
authentic and that the North Pole has
been reached for the first time by an
American.
. Thc Paris edition of The Now York
Herald Thursday morning publishes
a signc'J statement from Dr. Fred
. erick A. Cook, which is dated "Hans
Egede, Lerwick, Wednesday, ! ' on' his
experiences in the Arctic regions.
"After a prolonged fight with
famine and frost," says Dr. Cook,
"we have at-last succc ;led in reacli
: ing the North Pole. A new highway,
with an interesting, strip of animated
,nature, has been explored a'nd big
game haunts located, which will de
light sportsmen and extend tho Eski
mo horizon.
. "Land has been discovered on
which rests the earth's northernmost
; rocks. A triangle of 30,000 square
'miles has been cut out of the ter
: restinl unknown. The expedition
."-was the outcome of a summer cruise
in thp Arctic seas on the schooner
Bradle.V, which arrived at the limits
of navigation in Smith sound late in
August, 1907. Here conditions were
. found to'launch a venture to the pole.
J. R. Bradley liberally supplied from
? .his ..vessel suitable provisions for lo
cal use. My own equipment for,
emergencies'served Well for every
purpose in the Arctic.
On Feb. 19, '1908, the main expedi
tion embarked on its voyage to the
pole. It consisted of ll men and 103
dogs drawing eleven heavily laden
sledges. The expedition left the
Greenland shore and pushed west
ward over the troubled ice of Smitli
sound. The gloom of the long night
was relieved only by a few hours of
daylight. The chill of the winter was
felt at its worst. ' As ^we crossed the
heights of Ellesmere sound to the
Pacific slope the temperature sank to
minus 83 centigrade.
Several dogs Were frozen and thr.
men suffered severely but we soon
found the game trails nlonir which
the way was easy. We forced through
Nansen sound to Lands End. In this
-march we secured 101 musk oxen,
seven bears and 335 hares.
"Wo pushed out into Polar sea
from the southern point of Herbert
Island .on March 18. .Six Eskimos
returnde from here. With four mer.
and 46 dogs moving supplies for 80
.'clays, the crossing of the circum
polar pack Was begun. Three days
later two other Eskimos, forming thc
last supporting party, returned and
the trials had now been reduced by
the survival of the fittest.
"There'before us in an unknown
line of 460 miles lay our goal. Tho
first days provided long marches and
we made encouraging, progress. A
ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION
Copenhagen, By Cable.-Dr. Fred
erick A. Cook's credit stands so
high with Danish polar experts that
the first message announcing his suc
cess in reaching tho North Pole,
meagre as" it was, was accepted as
conclusive. Commodore Tlovgnrd said
Thursday: "I believe tho message is
true because Dr. Cook is most trust
worthy and opposed to ali exaggera
tions."

big lead, whuh Beparated tho land
frqm the ico of the central pack, waa
crossed with little delay. Tho low
temperature was persistent and the
winds made Hf6" a torture. But coop
ed up in our snow houses,, eating
dried beef tallow and drinking hot
tea, there was some animal comforts
occosioiially to bo gained.
"For several days after the sight
of known land was lost, the overcast)
sky prevented an accurate determina
tion of our position. On March 30
the horizon was partly cloared and
new land was discovered. Our ob
servations gave our position as lati
tude 84.47, .longitude 8C.3G. There
was urgent need of rapid advance.
Our main mission did not permit a
detour for the purpose of exploring
the coast. Here were seen " tho last
signs of solid earth; beyond there
was nothing stable to be seen.
"We advanced steadily over tho
monotony of moving sen-ice and now
found ourselves beyond the range of
all life--neither footprints of bears
nor the blow-holes of seals wore de
tected. Even the microscopic creat
ures of tho 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
day after day our weary legs spread
over big distances. Incidents and
positions were recorded, but adven
ture was promtly forgotten in the
next day's efforts.
"The n;ght of April 7 was made
notable by thc swinging of the sun at
midnight over thc northern ice. Sun
burns and frost bites were now re
corded on the same day, but the
double day's glitter infused quite an
incentive, into one's life of shivers.
"Our observation April 6 placed
the'camp in latitude 86.36, longtitude
94.2. In spite of what seemed long
marches we advanced but little over
a hundred miles. Much of our work
was lust in circuitous twists, around
troublesome pressure lines and high
irregular fields. A very old ice drift,
too, was driving eastward with suffi
cient force to give some anxiety.
"Although still equal to about fifty
miles daily, the""?xtendeil~^?Tc1ie3-'
and the long hours for traveling with
which fortune favored us earlier were
no longer possible. We were now
about 200 miles from the pole and
sledge loads were reduced. Ono dog
after another went into the stomachs
of th? hungry survivors until the
teams were considerably diminished
in number, but there seemed to re
main a sufficient balance for man and
brute to push along into the heart of
the faystery tc which We had set our
selves.
"On April 21 wc had reached 89
degrees 59 minutes 40 seconds. The
pole was in .sight. We covered the
remaining fourteen seconds and mado
a few fino? observations. I told
Etukishook and Ahwelsh (the accom
panying Eskimos) that* wc had reach
ed the "great nail.' Everywhere we
turned was south. With a single step
we could pass from one side of thc
earth to tho other; from midday to
midnight. At last the flag floated to
the breeze at the pole. It was April
21, 1908. The temperature was minus
38 centigrade, barometer 29.83, lati
tude 90; as for the longitude it was
nothing, as it was but 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,
only 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."
IS 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 hi?
arrival at Copenhagen. Dr. Maurice
P. Egan, the American minister, was
aboard a special steamer that was
sent out by the Royal Gcorgraphical
Society Friday lo meet Dr. Cook, who
is on bis way hore on tho steamer
Hans Egcde.
f 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
tho collision of tho automobile, the
gasoline tank exploded and the
wreckage took fire. The clothing of
the victims was ignited and had the
bodies not been removed promptly
they would have been burned. Dr;
Sohlegel was conscious and gave the
pastes of his companions.
OR. COOK ISJNJ?RVIEWED
Reached Pole at 7 O'clock in tho
Morning-His Success Due to Old
Methode, Esauimos and Dogs.
Skagvn, Denmark,,. By, . Cable.-A'
nowspuper co-respondent who . went.,
on board the Hans Egede from tho
pilot steamer off hero was able to ob
tain a few words with Dr. Frederick
A. Cook. The explorer ascribed his
success to the fact that ho made use
of tho old methods, namely, Eskimos
and dogs, and that he lived like an
Eskimo himself. Tho doctor then,
gave a hurried sketch of his expedid
tion in which he said: '
"Going northward I struck first a
westerly course from Greenland and
then moved northward.
'11 arrived at the North Pole April
21, 1908, as already announced, ac
companied by only two Eskimos.
"We reached the Polo at 7 o'clock
in tho morning.
"I took doily observations for a
whole fortnight before arriving nt the
Pole.
.''Returning we were forced lo take
a more weastcrly route and' the, first
ten days I took observations daily
and recorded them. I was unable to
measure the depth of thc seas as I
had not the necessary instruments.
"Tho lowest temperature was 83
degrees centigrade below ?ero.
"I have ample proof that I roach*
ed thc North Pole in tlie observations
Ii took, which afford a certain means
of checking the truth of my state
ments. ;
"Although I am proud of nrj
achievement in planting.the American
fWg on the North Pole, I look with
???eh greater pride to the fact that I
traveled around mare than thirty
thousand sparo miles of hitherto un
known ground, and opened up an en
tirely fresh field for exploration."
The Hans Egede was met in the
North sen by the pilot steamer Polar
Bear, aboard which was Captain Ara
drup, the well-known polar exploror,
who was sent ns a special representa*
tive of tho Danish, government lo
welcome Dr. Cook. As the vessels ap
proached each other, Captain Am
drup led the cheers for thc American
explorer.
Will America Claim tho Pole.
Washington, Special.-The 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 the north
pole by right of discovery." ,
The State Department refuses to
imswer the question, claiming that it
has no official report of the discovery
and therefore cannot discuss the sub
ject. Those who aro informed, how
ever state that when Dr. Cook re
_ Ingas^i/i this p^in.try~flpd^?Ht^^hAes j
the fact that he has discovered the*
pole, and describes the nature of hbo
place, the "United States will un
doubtedly claim tlie polo as a pos
session. %
There is much, however, to be de
termined before this can bo done, for
it must be established that there, is
land at tlie polo separate and dis
tinct from other land contiguous to.
it. If it is proven that thc pole is
on a continent or island, the United
States can, by right of discovery,
claim possession. Bnt it may turn
out to be but a part of Greenland or
of some land contiguous to it.
The boundaries of British America
do not extend ns far north as tho
pole, but there may bc mainland, such
as Greenland, which is Danish pro
perty, near enough for it, to belong
to that eonnlry.
It is understood fiore that there
must be land at or near the polo
which is disconnected from and not
contiguous to territories belonging to
other nations in order for the United
States to assert a valid claim to sov
ereignly.
A vast ice field may cr?ale a doubt
as to tho existence of such laud, and
if this ice field overlies a part of thc
Artic Ocean, the region would doubt
less be classed with the high seas and
thus be international rather than na
tional property.
So many unknown quantities enter .
into the case that thc question of
sovereignty cannot bc settled unless
Dr. Cook, when he returns, cnn 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 that serious inter
national complications will arise.
Library Burns.
Toronto, Special.-Fanned by a

I Frederick Has Him to Dinner and
SeaU Him on His Bight Hand. j
Copenhagen, By Cable.-"Once is
enough for any man. I will never re
turn to the North Pole. A single ex
perience I have just passed through
-will suffice for a life time."
This was practically the first !
anstVer of Dr. Frederick Cook, the
discoverer of the North Pole, to a vol
ley of questions fired at him by a reg- |
im?nt of newspaper men who boarded
tho Hons Egede as she steamed into
tho harbor at 9:30 o'clock Saturday
morning.
Dr. Cook admits that the nature of j
the moving ice covereing the site of
the pole will probably remove the evi
dences he loft there April 21 and 22,
3908, but he states that his records
of observations when presented lo
scientific men will wipe out all scepti
cism.
He says he first planted a staff on
thc site of the pole and then raised
the American flag. "There, on that
God forsaken ' spot realized as never
before the meaning of patriotism and
the love of the flag." Seeing that
tile flag would be whipped to shreds
by the wind he took it down and plac
ed it in a brass cylinder wljich he
placed on thc staff.
Dr. Cook said he spent practically
all of two .days taking observations.
He had a sextant, pocket watch, three
chronometers, and "more modern in
strurronts than were ever used by an
explorer in the extreme North. I
verified all observations carefully and
am confident that accuracy and com
pleteness of the record will satisfy
the scientific world."
The entire population of tho city
seemed to be at the pier with thous
ands who journeyed from all over
Europe. For 15 minutes the crowd
cheered wildly.
Dr. Cook was overcome by emo
tions; tears welled in his eyes. "1
never expected snell a demonstra
tion," he said. "It seems too much
for what I have done."
King Frederick asked for a call
from him. To the reply tiiat he had
no clothing suitable for the Kings
presence the King asked him to call
in his hunting garb which he did.
The banquet Saturday evening was
held in tho magnificent municipal
building. Four hundred persons,
many of them ladies,. attended.
President Taft congratulated Dr.

A'Copenhagen dispatch of Sunday
sayB Dr. Frederick A. Cook dined
Saturday evening with King Freder
ick at thc summer palace a few miles
outsido of Copenhagen.
?The King invited him to meet him
only after having thc government
make the closest possible investiga
tion into the merits of his story. All
thc Danish explorers were asked to
give their opinions of Dr. Cook's :
claims before the audience was grant
ed and their verdict was unanimous
ly in his favor.
The dinner was enth'oly the result
of the King's personal opinion re
garding the explorer, who had thc
seat On the King's right, an honor
which Daros cannot remember having
been accorded another private person.
In answering the many questions
put to him he said :
"You ask my impression on reach- j
ing the Pole. Let mc confess T was !
disappointed. Man is a child dream
ing of prodigies. I. had reached the
Pole and now at a moment when I
should have been thrilled with pride
and joy 1 was invaded with a sud
den fear of thc dangers and suffer
ings of the return.
On approaching thc Pole he said
the icy plain took on animated mo
tion as " if rotating on an invisible
pivot.'
> "A great fissure theii opened up
behind," ho added, "and it seemed
?os if we were isolated from the world.
My two Eskimos threw themselves at
my feet and bursting into tears, re
fused to continue either ono way or
another, so paralyzed were they with
fear. Nevertheless I calmed them j
and we resumed our journey.

I Department during the four years
beginning January 1, 1910, was
awarded Tuesday by Postmaster Gen
eral Hitchcock to tho government
printing office, which ^submitted tho

a stock of lighter but firmer quality,
? the Postotlico Department expects to
provide for the public a better card
at less expense to the government.
Thc saving will be effected in the re
