Peary in reply to a ctuestion on the Peary-Cook controversy. The Associated Press tug Douglas Thomas, after a stormy passage up the west coast of New Foundland and through the strait of Belle Isle from Sydney, arrived at this lonely whaling and mission settlement at noon yesterday. A squall of rain was swooping over the harbor as the Thomas steamed In but with eiasses it was possible to make but the mast and hull of the Arctic steamer Roosevelt moored in the Inner bay.

The Thomas broke out the "North Pole' flag, the same emblem that was flying from the mizzen mast of the Roosevelt and signalled "The As sociated Press congratulates you. The Roosevelt then signalled the thanks of Commander Peary for this message, whereupon the Thomas gave three loud blasts or her Whistle, in response there came from the Roosevelt a chorus of barking and yelping from the Eskimo dogs on board, that echoed back from the surrounding hills. The Thomas drew near tho Roosevelt. The steamer looked little the worse for her second trip to the polar regions. Along the rail were gathered members of her famous crew, among them the redoubtable Captain Robert Bartlett.

Captain Bartlett Invited the Thomas to lay alongside and the correspondents clambered over the weather beaten bulwarks and proceeded direct to the cabin to meet the man who has stood upon the appex of the world. The commander's greeting was cordial. "This 1s a new record in newspaper enterprise." he said, "and I appreciate the compliment." Peary Says He's Only Man Who Reached Pole. The correspondent at once began questioning the explorer regarding the merits of Dr. Frederick A.

Cook's claim to have reached the pole. The commander declared positively that he would not further discuss this subject until the main point, whether Dr. Cook had actually reached the Nortn. Pole or not, had been decided by others. He then dictated the following statement to the Associated Press for publication; "I am the oftly man who has ever reached the North Pole and 1 am tre-pared to prove 1t at' the proper time.

I have already stated publicly that Cook has not been to the pole. This I reaffirm and I will stand by it. but I decline to discuss the details of thy matter. These will comeout later. I have said that Dr.

In order to rest himself, and at the same time make better time, he had thought to steal a short ride.

Mr. Nelson stated In a general way, that the insurance companies are thoroughly cognizant of what Is going on here, as they have been notified in clr- ular letters from the respective agencies, but since there seems to be an effort on foot to put the waterworks plant In repair, none of the companies. so far as he knows, intends to cancel any Insurance at this time. "We would- have to rive five days' notice if cancellations were made, and besides this Is not the intention of the companies.

Nelson.

"This reserve for fire protection should have been kept In the stand f'lpe, even If the hardship had. to be mposed on the people in some other respects, as the protection against fire, for the people's sake as well as the insurance companies, should be the first consideration In a case of this kind." Mr. Nelson said that from what he could find out about the present Rtate of affairs at the water plant.

In the meanwhile It Is my determination not to deal with debates for the reasons already stated." Commander Pearw was then asked If new land could have been dl-covered in latitude 84, longitude 81. In reply he shrugged his shoulder and said it was quite possible that an unknown island existed further westward. He described the land discovered by himself on previous occa sions that had not been explored.

Asked what would be the Interna tional effect of the planting of the I Stars and Stripes at the North Pole, Commander Peary said he had notl- fied the Secretary of the State thai he had taken possession of the Pole In the name of the United States anj it remained for the secretary to decide what that meant. He said he had left records on the ice at the Pole. What Peary Says. With regard to his steamer, Commander Peary said: "The Roosevelt is in first class condition and Is practically uninjured. The hull, engines and machinery are as good as when she left New Tor '2 In July, 1908.

She will leave her? on Thursday or Friday for Sydney with Commander Peary aboard goln direct to that port without stop. Tner the vessel will fill her bunkers wit coal for a straight run to New York. Commander Peary was offered passage for Sydney on the Associate, Press tug Douglas Thomas, but he declined with the explanation that thu Roosevelt was absolutely seaworthy and would not require any assistanc nor would he leave her, he added. Asked If he would accept ah Invitation to the banquet in his honor Sydney, he replied that he probably would.

From Sydney. Commander Peary will go to the United States by rail. He would not say what woui; become of the Roosevelt At New York the crew of the ship will ti3 paid off. The ship belongs to the Peary Arctic Club. Regarding the Hudson-Fulton parade the commander said he did.

hot know whether th Roosevelt would participate, but t. Mr. Bridgeman had said the steamer would not take part In this exposition, If the schooner John Bradley, of Cook's expedition was to participate, that It was likely the decision of the Arctic Club. If the Roosevelt did not take part in th parade. Commander Peary said, he would -likely command her, but he was in doubt who would be his guests.

The explorer suggested It would be good for the United States to take over the Roosevelt as a cutter In th Behrlng Sea or to keep some channel open as she would be a splendid Icebreaker. Incidentally he pointed out that the Norwegian Government holds the Fram, and the Italian th "Stell Polar," the Duke of Abruaxfs ship. Commander Pearj' said he had already made an official report of his work to Washington and had therefore, not decided whether he would go to the national capltol on return to the United States. The survey work In past expeditions was embodied In the Government maps and the same course probablv would be followed In this case.
