Sydney, N. S.', Sept. 18. The' Peary
Arctic club relief steamer Windward
with Lieut. C. E. Peary on "board, ar
rived here todav from Gape Sabine. All
on board are well. Lieut. Peary says:
"Our expedition did not reach the
north pole, but w made most import
ant scientific discoveries. We are all
well and glad to get back to civilization."
Lieut. Peary recovered and brougnt
back the- instruments and library aban
doned toy the Greeley expedition. He
also brought numerous and rare speci
mens of natural history.
Sydney. N. S., Sept. 18. 4 large
public meeting was held here tonight
in honor of Lieutenant Peary. Peary
in a speech said he felt certain the
pole would yet be reached, ana Dy
some one carrying either the American
flag or the Union Jack of Great
Britain. The lieutenant and his wite
will remain at Cape Breton until Mon
day, when they will leave for New
York.
Sydney, N. S., Sept. 18. The Peary
Arctic club steamer wradiwara, cap
tain S. W. Bartlett, arrived here this
morning from Cape Sabine All on
board are well. Peary sent to the club
the following report of operations of
the expedition since August 9, 1901:
"Left at Erick harbor on the Elles
mere coast, August 29. The party
reached Payer harbor September 16,
crossing Payer Bay partly by sledge
and oartlv by Iboat., then .walking
Refnrfl Pim. About a week
later imv Eskimos hegan to fall sick,
not one escaping. By November 19 six
adults and one child were dead, nearly
all others very weak, but out of dan
ger.
"T?ia.riv in January Eskimos came
across from Anvilak, bringing news of
the ravages of a fatal epidemic through
the tribe. Word was sent Track by
these scouts for as. many of the survi
vors as could come to me and toy the
end of the month 'they began arriving".
In .February a large depot of dog food
was established near Cape Louis Na
poleon, some 60 milea north of Sabine.
On- March 3 my advance party of sis!
sledges in charge of Hensen left fori
Gangor. March 6 started with the main
party of 18 pledges, leaving Peary in
charge at Payer harbor. Gangor was
reached in twelve marches, arriving
within an hour or two of the advance
party. My supporting party of Eski
mos reurning from Gangor 'brought
down the instruments,- chronometer
and Arcic library. Eight marches mora?
took up to Cape Heckla. The north
end of Robinson channel was all open
across to the Greenland coast. From
Heckla, the supporting party returned.
April 1, starting northward over the
Polar sea with Hansen, four Eskimos
and six sleds. Old floes covered deep
with snow and intersected with rubble
ridges and lanes of young ice were en
countered from the moment we left
Northern Sledge. Trip in the spring
was not marked toy special exposure,
suffering or danger more than is neces
sarily incidental to serious Arctic -work.
"Equipment and personnel were sat
isfactory and further advance was
vetoed by insuperable natural condi
tions. The Windward has on board the
instruments, chronometers and Arctic
library abandoned by the Greeley ex
pedition and numerous specimens of
natural history, bear, musk ox, rein
deer and walrus skins.
"The skeleton of' a two horned nar
whale, a rare Arctic specimen, also liv
ing specimens of musk ox, iwalrus, Arc
tic hare and Eskimo dog are also on
board.
'The anchor and chain lost at Erick
ast summer is on 'board. The Fram
left Godhoun about August 20 hound
home. She has been in Sonor Sound,
from whence It is understood explora
tions were made to the northwest. One
death ( a fireman) is reported since.
Others on board said to foe well. The
little schooner Forget Me Not, which
was caught in the ice at Cape Haven,
last year, is now on her way to St.
John."
This report, signed by eary, is ad
dressed to Secretary H L. Bridgman,
of the Peary Arctic club. Peary will
go to. New York tomorrow.

Of Principal of a Public School
in Bellaire, 0., and the City Is
"Wild with Indignation" at
the School Teacher's Action.
Bellaire, O., Sept. 18. This city is
wild with indignation over the ' action
of J. D. Defenbaugh, principal of the
fifth ward school. There had been dif
ferences between 18 of the girls, nine
white and nine colored. These culmi
nated yesterday in an 6pen fight. The
principal gave his ultimatum that the
white girls must all kiss the colored
girls or take lickings. Being frigh
ened, they complied. The parents are
terribly worked up over the affair, and
the school board will call an extra ses
sions to investigate the matter at once
j-iouisviue, isjy., sept, is. me in
junction suit filed by Attorney General
.fratt Tuesday to prevent the contest
between McGovern and Young Corbett,
from taking place here next Monday
night, September 22, was presented for
hearing before Judge Emmett Field in
the Jefferson circuit court today. The
defendants presened an answer to the
petition, in which they refuted all the
allegations made by 'the attorney gen
eral. They denied that Corbett and
McGovern would fight for a prize; that
the contest has been advertised as a
prize fight; that it ie violation of the
law, and that -it is a postponement of
a fight which was to have taken place
before the Nutmeg Athletic club cf
Hartford, Conn. The answer further
states that the principals are not pro
fessional prize fighters; that the con
test -will not be under Marquis of
Queensbury rules, and that each con
testant will be paid the same amount
for his services.
In the course of the hearing argu
ments were presented by attorneys for
both sides and depositions taken, yes
terday were filed as evidence.
After hearing arguments for six hours
Judge Field tonight granted an injunc
tion to prevent the flgtit. The defend
ants immediately served notice that
they would appear before Judge Guffey
at
a dissolution of the injunction. Coun
sel for the fight promoters claim that
Field is a judge of chancery and has
no jurisdiction in criminal proceedings.

sensation here last July (by desterting
ner husband and children and eloping
with J. Ernest Hardin, head book
keeper of the Revolution cotton mills.
returned incognito to the city last night
from Baltimore, stopping at a cheap
hotel. She claims that news of her
child's illnees brought her, but those
wen acquainted with matters say the
family will be reunited after changing
their residence to a distant city. She
spent an hour at Stafford's home with
her children last night. He refuses to
talk. She sent for reporters and said
she hoped as much would not be said
of her return as of her elopement. The
impression her conversation made was
that she thinks she can remain with
Hardin -or her husband, according to
her own selection. She said she would
not be interviewed, for fear her hus
